keepin it platonic

about platonic friendship. i've now read more than a few classical books on muslim love theory, here's my observation. we can be compassionate to all, but if we seek real friendship, our scholars say that friendship and love are related. there is muhabat-love, which all muslims should believe in. it's gereral and can exist between all who cleanse their hearts of greed, pride and conceit. it has nothing to do with sexual urges. it has everything to do with being a beautiful person. but your inner and outer beauty attracts a beholder of beauty. lets not forget ishq-love, which some say is good, some say bad. the fire of ishq-love can ignite when one beholds beauty. the philosopher says that isqh-love seeks physical union. the mystic says ishq-love is an affair of the soul seeking a spiritual union. Didn't Al-Ghazzali say that love is an attachment between hearts. the heart, the soul, the spirit, the self, different names of that inner light. i was just an innocent by-stander when your terrorist thighs struck me down. after your beauty has lit my flame and the fire rages within. you can try to say: "just control your self, bro." to which the heretic-ashiq-lover will respond: "What Self?? You FOOL, My self exists NO-MORE! How can i control that which belongs to GOD, that Divine breath which gives life to this lump of clay. Didn't al-Ghazzali say that love emenates from my heart. Didn't al-Ghazzali tell me that i have more than one self? Didn't he say, to deny the others and let the Divine self shine through. Mine eyes, they say, are My windows to that soul. They have gazed... and witnessed a manifestation of HIS Divine Terrorist Beauty... (you think yo mama gave you those terrorist thighs)??? And Now you speak of CONTROL."HUSH asad HUSH!!! You have spoken too much!
