If you love me, don’t confess your love to me, this won’t please me and will keep me away!

Love words don’t attract me. If you love me, wait for me and I will knock on your door in the right time.

Don’t give me privileges which I don’t deserve. Keep me away from you, and I will approach you. If you approach me, I will stay away from you.

Don’t love me, for I want you ignorant in love. I want to teach you love when the right time come and you will be my Halal, only when we are joined together under our Creator’s satisfaction.

Don’t tell me what you feel, don’t give me from your time, don’t push me to lose you.
I am a man who won’t accept to see the one he loves committing sins or to live a forbidden love behind the back of her family.

I don’t want her to feel guilty and don’t want her heart to suffer.
Put limits to me that I won’t cross, kill me inside you so I won’t grow to kill you.
Preserve what is beautiful inside you.

I want you innocent, chaste, pure. I want you dear, not easy.
And then, Only then, I will face everything and will be ready to go through difficulties to get you.

How could I be a faithful man to you when I try to break your chastity?
How would I be faithful to you if I push you to betray your family? How could I trust a love which grew under Allah’s wrath ?

To love you means to protect you, to preserve you not to kill what is beautiful in you.
Don’t be easy because then, I may not value you.

Don’t love me now, so I won’t hate you!
My heart wants you and doesn’t want to lose you.

I don’t want you to be just a passing fancy to me, I want you a wife, a lover, the mother of my children.

I want you to be the one I will spend my whole life with.

There's not much to say to this... the letter itself is so powerful and beautiful. Every Muslim man should seek to be this way, and every Muslim girl should realise her worth and wait for a man who will see her this way. Illicit relationships bring nothing other than problems, heart-ache, anxiety, worry and humiliation.

"Allah is One, the heart is one, and the heart only belongs to The One." - Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed Naqshbandi (Madda-zhilluhum)
