Concept Of Love In Islam
I’ve personally believed that sexual attraction towards the opposite gender is natural and caused due to the changes in hormones. As we are made this way so it is not wrong. Love in my opinion is just a thought or an alternative and illogical term given to attraction. Love in psychology results from a chemical in our brain called oxytocin and it is the warmth , sense of security and affiliation we get from our family so we say we love them. To love a random person, for example I see a girl and get attracted towards her but I’ve not met her and spent time with her so obviously I can’t develop that sense of affiliation, warmth, care so there are only sexual feelings attached in this case. This is where people go wrong and consider it as something called love which is illogical in my opinion. People can differ from my views. But this was a good question I’ve always wanted an islamic perspective on this topic from ghamidi sb.
