The Deception of Love and the World of Interests

A Mirror — For Today’s Humanity

Every relationship in the world claims to be filled with love — whether it is a mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother, friend, tribe, community, nation, or ummah.
But the reality?
Is very bitter.

The truth is that today’s human love is conditional and every relationship is based on interest.
Behind someone’s care, there is always some hidden reason:

◈ Sometimes emotional support
◈ Sometimes financial benefit
◈ Sometimes political backing
◈ Sometimes the purpose of religious grouping
◈ And sometimes self-satisfaction

💰 Money — Has Become the Scale of Love

◈ Today’s father loves the son more who earns and gives.
◈ The son respects only that mother who does not command him.
◈ The husband tolerates only that wife who submits to his will.
◈ The wife loves only that man who provides financial and social comfort.

Love is decreasing, benefit is increasing.
And when the benefit stops — the grave of love is dug.

🧊 Friendship, community, relationship — all have become business

◈ Religious groups love account balances and influence instead of sincerity.
◈ Political parties love vote banks, not loyalty.
◈ Tribes keep their members not based on kinship but on fame or enmity.

Here “You are mine” means:
“As long as you are beneficial to me.”

🩶 Neither relationships are true, nor intentions pure

Whether Muslim or non-Muslim, scholar or ignorant, rich or poor —
Everyone revolves around themselves.
If you silently keep sacrificing, you are “beloved.”
But if you question or demand your right,
You are called “ill-mannered.”

🕊️ True love? There is only one entity…

Allah Ta’ala

◈ The One Being who loves without any self-interest.
◈ Who provides for you despite your sins.
◈ Who remembers you in solitude, when the whole world has forgotten you.
◈ Who never abandons you when you fall.
◈ Who never tires when you cry and repeatedly return to Him.

🕯️ Summary:

“The love of the world is deception, a trade of profit and loss.
And the love of the Lord is pure profit — both in this world and the Hereafter.”

📌 Closing line:

❝ If today you want true love from someone, first establish a true connection with Allah…
All other loves are temporary, self-interested, and transient. ❞
