Q: I just cannot understand policies exhibit extremes in love and in aversion. Does religion have anything authentic on this topic? What can one do in situations such as these? Jazakallah

A: Rasool (SAW) said: Love your beloved moderately, perhaps they will become your despised someday, and dislike the one you despise moderately, perhaps they will become your beloved one someday (Adab ul Mufrid)

This hadith stresses the need for a balanced approach to everything. It advises against becoming overly attached because people and circumstances can change. We have seen the realty of this is organization, interpersonal relations, etc.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.

أَحْبِبْ حَبِيبَكَ هَوْنًا مَا، عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ بَغِيضَكَ يَوْمًا مَا، وَأَبْغِضْ بَغِيضَكَ هَوْنًا مَا، عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ حَبِيبَكَ يَوْمًا مَا
