It is mentioned in the Qur’an that Allah is closer to us then our jugular vein. He’s constantly listening you. His doors is always open, that’s why it’s so beautifully stated in the article that when you love someone they are constantly on your mind and tongue. Thus, if you can truly understand why it is that God doesn’t like ghafflat (heedlessness) because when you love someone you constantly think of them. However, the scariest thing for anyone in any relationship or after a relationship is the thought that does the person even remember me? Because as the lover you’re always going to remember them, but what hurts the most is when the other person moves on and forgets about you. So God’s constantly thinking of us that’s why we are able to breathe and perform all our actions, and that’s why when we aren’t thinking about Him we’re doing Him and ourselves unjustice, but He loves it when we turn back to him (tawba) as mentioned in the article. It’s beautiful that you’ve made the intention, now just wait for Allah’s love to envelop you InshAllah.

giving up physical passion hurts a great deal in the moment, but passes as the time has passed, like re-setting a broken bone. giving up mawaddah for mawaddah is like consenting to the surgeon to remove your arm to save your life. in your mind, the echo of that arm is always real. it’s one of those things that cannot possibly be known unless it has happened to you.
