Unconditional Love
By Abdul Lateef Abdullah
Understanding the Divine Gift of Children
Have you ever noticed that no matter how badly parents treat their children, the children always seem to love the parents unconditionally? As a Social Worker, I have experienced this before in my work.
Even the worst of child abusers are loved by their victims. This is Unconditional Love. Children unconditionally love their parents. This is how it is.
Allah brings children into this world as sources of unconditional love for their parents, families, and everyone else whose lives they touch.
According to the famous Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH), all children are born in a state of Islam (deen al-fitrah) but their parents and society turn them away from their pure natural state into something else.
Based on this alone, it would appear as though adults have much to learn from their children, particularly in the ways of love.
-Why, then, and at what point do children who grow up and become parents learn to love conditionally?
-Where do we lose that unbreakable and unconditional love that we as children felt for our parents?
-What changes and why?
