Ishq-e-Haqeeqi aur Ishq-e-Majazi [Majnun aur Laila (Tamseeli Mutaala'a)] - Part 1 | English Subtitles

In this video, it has been explained that love is an innate force embedded within human nature, from which there is no escape. From the moment of birth, a human being is in need of connection and attachment just as there is a physical bond in the mother’s womb, similarly, in spiritual life, the bond of love becomes a means for a person's survival. Furthermore, two types of love have been described. One is Ishq e Majazi (metaphorical or worldly love), which is attached to worldly things, people, and relationships, but it is temporary and fleeting. The second is Ishq e Haqiqi (true, divine love), which refers to the connection, affection, and intense devotion towards Allah Almighty. In this, a person dissolves his self, desires, and will in seeking the pleasure of the Creator, ultimately attaining spiritual fulfillment and closeness to the Divine.
The video also highlights the love for women, children, wealth, power, land, and status  clarifying that these affections are temporary and often blind a person, distancing them from the truth. True love is only that which draws the servant back to the Creator.Additionally, the causes and levels of love have been discussed, alongside sayings and stories of the Sufi saints, explaining how metaphorical love can sometimes become a means to reach true, divine love such as the tale of Majnun, which is not merely a legend but a lesson in mystical wisdom.
