A monumental and widely-praised book which deals with the subject of love, from a scholastic and academic point of view but which is written in a simple and accessible style for all.

At least one verse from every chapter—and over one fifth of the whole Qur’an is cited, the book  covers  love of God, of neighbor, family, friendship; the stages of falling in love; sexual love; extra-marital love; beauty; taste and much more, all based entirely on the Qur’an.

Reviews of the book:

“[It] clarifies the meaning of love and its forms, components and secrets, deriving all this from the Holy Qur’an. It shows which kinds of love are praiseworthy and which are blameworthy, and the different degrees of love, lovers and beloveds—and it does all this with a creative and engaging style of exposition. We ask God Almighty to accept this effort from the author, and make it a cause of benefit for the world.” —Mufti Muhammad Taqi Uthmani, Vice President of Darul Uloom Karachi, Pakistan
