There is a profundity in the hearts of poor people. They have a deep love. Their love, their affection is very beautiful. Their love for God is very beautiful. Their tendency towards arts and aesthetics is very high. Poor people are generally very well-mannered in every aspect.

The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) went through many ordeals, sufferings and trainings; with profound faith Allah gave his face radiance and grandeur. Allah gave an extraordinary charisma to him.

That is the deep aspect of love, of passion; being forgiving, compassionate, protective, thinking deep, seeing beauties in detail, seing wisdom in detail and patience. Patience is very important.

You patiently endure difficulties and thus you show your love. If you do not endure difficulties, gratification would not be formed either. “I feel love but I do not endure difficulties,” that is not acceptable. Even in the story of Layla and Majnun they endure difficulties and that is that love appears nice to us. When one endures difficulties for the sake of Allah, when one endures pain, it would be beautiful. Or else everyone could feel love.

Love for Allah would become even more beautiful when one suffers ordeals and endures pain for that sake.

No matter what happens, Muslims always stand strong. Allah is the One Who creates all scourges, all troubles. Those who do not suffer hardships would not know love.

A Muslim should not say; "Why did the Unity of Islam not yet established, why do we suffer? Why do we have such hardships?" He will be patient. That is because Heaven comes at the end of patience and there is the good pleasure of Allah. You would lose if you do not have patience.

Muslim would become valuable through pain and ordeals.

Love means the love of God. God is the One we love with a profound love. And love is felt for the manifestations of God. All beauties belong to God. All praises are for God as well. God is the One we love.

As the level of welfare increases, the number of those who patiently endure difficulties or those who endure pain decreases. Such an environment does not help the cultivation of art. Those who are brought up in poverty, those who endure pain and difficulties often perform art quite beautifully. God gives pain and ordeals for love to deepen. The more one endures difficulties, the more he knows love, the more he knows profundity.

The love of the Prophet (saas) is a divine love. He loves everything as the manifestation of Allah. He loves with the love of Allah, with affection.

Uwais Qarni loved Allah with a profound love; he was madly in love with Allah. He has suffered many ordeals but he always looked at our Lord with good opinions.

Love provides beauty in every aspect. For instance, if a song is sung with love, if it is played with love, it gives an insatiable pleasure. I mean when you do something with love, it yields perfect results. If one talks with love, it can be listened to with an amazing joy. If one looks at another with love, it gives an amazing joy. Even when you show love to a flower, that flower becomes so beautiful and so sweet.

Allah wants us to be in love with Him.

If you feel love, first of all, love God and love those God loves and let that love be reflected in your life. It is not acceptable to say "I do love" without doing anything. You should carry the signs of a fervent faith. Then there would be no need for you to look for Zuleyha. God would send Zuleyha by your side.

If you act like the Prophet Joseph (pbuh), God sends Zuleyha to you. Or else it is not possible to find anything by searching in deserts.

The soul is trained through hardships and ordeals.

If you become fixated on the love of a person, it would be idolatry. You should love with the love of God. Even the songs are about separation. Why don’t you love as the manifestation of God? If you love as the manifestation of God, you would not feel the need for such songs. You would not feel all that pain.

Ultimately man is a weak creature. He dies and is buried in a grave. When he loses a loved one, he loses himself, saying, “I am dying, I am burning inside out, I am all done!” What would you say to that beloved one in the grave? You would flee in fear when you see that body in the grave. Well then, Who is the One to be loved? God is. Who is the One Who shows you that image? God.

Those who strive on the path of God become beautiful. Those who face difficulties on the path of God become beautiful. Those who do not face any difficulties become ugly, their meaning would be lost, they would become dull and blunt. I mean they would become coarse.

One says, “I have lived a very happy life, I have never faced any troubles all my life.” That is not a gain. First of all he won’t go to Heaven. In the Qur’an God says; “Or did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?” (Surat Al-Baqara, 214) A Muslim should strive on the path of God, face difficulties and make an effort against unbelief, against the hypocrites.

Ordeals beautify people.

Love is very important. Suffering through ordeals is very important. Wherever there is a person in need, wherever there is a suffering person, if he is an artist, he would become a genuine artist. A person who hasn’t suffered any pain would instantly be felt. He would instantly be known.

This world would never be without pain or suffering. Pain is in the origin of love. Life has no meaning without love anyway. There has to be pain, people have to go through ordeals.

Coward politicians would always lose.
