Summary of the work :

What is love ?

Everyone has their own answer to this question, but is it the right one?

To help you find out, we invite you to browse this work by the immense scholar Ibn Taymiyya. Here is a short overview of what to expect:

“This book is about love and hate, and the elements that arise from them, whether they are praiseworthy or blameworthy.

Love and desire are the origin of all action and movement in this world.

On the other hand, hatred and aversion hinder and obstruct everything that is accomplished through love. They are therefore at the origin of all abandonment and all disinterest.

Love and desire are the foundations of hatred and aversion, as well as the foundations of actions that aim to eliminate the things one hates. This is why hatred only exists in relation to love and it cannot be eliminated except through love.

So, love is the basis of everything that exists . »
