Unconditional love, is there such a thing ?

[aswad]

This is a follow up to Dee's topic 'How loveable are you?'

Do you think there is such a thing as 'unconditional love'? Do you think you could love your kids always? Do you think you could always give them your support even if they took 'difficult roads'? Or maybe a path in life that you strongly disagree with?

And under which grounds would you consider disowning your kids?

What about a partner? Could you feel unconditional love for your significant other? Do you have some kind of 'conditions' under which you would stop loving someone?

with children i totally believe in unconditional love,You may not like their choices or like them at times, but i believe you will always love them.

I think parent to child is probably the only kind of unconditional love. I certainly believe that hte love parents feel for their children is the strongest kind of love.

Romantic love is always conditional on the partner not cheating, treating you well etc.

MaY aLLAH FORGIVE ME IF i did not narrate the haddith correctly and Allah and his Messenger know best

There was a mother who was looking for her lost child at war .When she found him she went hugging him or her so tight . the prophet SAWS saw her and said to his companions
--------------------------------
Do you think that woman would throw her kid in the Fire????????
they replied NO
he then said Allah SWT is more merciful than that woman toward her child
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Allah swt gives love without conditions. in fact he goes even further than this.
He swt loves anyone who ask for his help even for a second. in the Quran he talks about the Atheists who were stranded in the sea and when they say O! God help us and they mean it with their heart for those seconds then God help them even if they turn against God afterward.
That is unconditional love

"The Loving" is one of Allah's names as He said about Himself: "And He is the Forgiving and Loving" (Qur'an 85:14). Love is just a word which must be translated in action and it becomes obedience in the case of His creation, human beings, and mercy in case of the Creator, Allah. You can see that when love is translated into action it is mercy and His mercy is unconditional. You receive Allah's mercy whether you are an obedient servant of Allah or you are a mushrik (pagan, idolater) and a sinner; they all receive equal treatment in this life. Let us take a few examples:

A man may say to his wife "I love you" but he beats her and does not provide for her. Does he love her?
A wife says to her husband "I love you" but when he desires sex she does not agree to it. Does she love him?
A child says to his parents "I love you" but he disobeys them most of the time. Does he/she love them?
Love must be translated in action, attitude and behavior, otherwise it is just a word without meaning. Similarly Allah's love is translated in His attributes of forgiving, compassion and mercy. Look around and you will find that Allah's mercy is spread all around. "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem" means "In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate." The words are AR-RaHMan and AR-RaHeeM. AR represents the article AL, meaning "the". The root word is RHM, which may be read as RaHiMa or RaHaMa, means mercy. Allah does not use two identical words next to each other unless there is a difference in their meaning.

Allah is Ar-Raheem for all humankind irrespective of their belief in Allah and their character whether they believe in Allah or not; whether they are good-doers or evil-doers; they all obtain their sustenance from Allah. Many evil people are very rich because Allah decided to give them all the wealth and good things of this life; this is because Allah is Ar-Raheem. Allah is also Ar-Rahman for the believers in Him; they are good-doers. They receive special blessings from Allah, that is, happiness and contentment in this life and reward in the hereafter.

Thanks Truth,..... you always live up to your name.
