How is a person blessed with divine love between a man and a woman? And how can one stop loving and speaking to someone after repenting from a relationship, without being misunderstood?
Divine love is love for the sake of Allah. It arises from contemplating Allah's favor and sensing the deeds that Allah loves in others. Through it, a Muslim attains the sweetness of faith and Allah's love. This love can occur between men and women and increases with greater obedience and uprightness. As for the alleged love between students, it is often one of Satan's traps and is forbidden if it arises from unlawful gazes, intermingling, or illicit speech. If love for a young man enters a girl's heart unintentionally, it is not forbidden, but it must be remedied by marriage if possible. Otherwise, there must be a complete cessation of meeting this young man, and your leaving him for the sake of Allah will be rewarded by Allah with something better. You must obey Allah, remain steadfast, fortify yourself with remembrance (), occupy your time with acts of obedience, and seek a righteous husband.
