Relationships in Islam - Tawfique Chowdhury

Relationships are all about exchange; they are about what we give and what we take. Our parents give us shelter, food, love, care, attention, they instill in us morals and teach us what they believe. In return, from having us they receive the joy of having a child that is their own, they see our smiling faces as babies and couldn't feel happier, when we are older we return their love and care as best we can and try in turn to look after them. We give each other advice and support, good company and conversation, a sense of belonging and security. The relationship, like all others, is based on giving and receiving and although at first glance that hints at a materialist way of looking at things, it encompasses the emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects of a relationship too.

Our relationship with Allah(swt) is already more intimate than any other in one way.

"Surely Allah is the Knower of what is unseen in the heavens and the earth; surely He is aware of what is in the hearts." Quran 35:38

"He knows what is in the heavens and on earth; and He knows what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah knows well the (secrets) of (all) hearts." Quran 64:04
