I say this as someone who is not that emotionally expressive and is uncomfortable being too expressive in public: its absolutely wild how so many people seem to think the proper way to experience Islam (or any religion) is devoid of emotion.
Like a week before Ramadan I saw a post complaining about how people today spend too much time being excited about Ramadan as if we didn& #39;t know the Sahaba used to spend 6 months eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Or, like, you& #39;ll regularly see people on here ignore the overt and outward emotion people like the Sahaba used to have and instead promote this idea of "men don& #39;t cry."
And yeah, applies to romance/love between people too. Don& #39;t we have examples of how much Rasul& #39;Allah (SWS) used to love his wives, his daughters, his friends? Wasn& #39;t this love tied to the religion itself?
Emotion isn& #39;t meant to be separated from Islam. And if Islam truly innervates every part of your life, then inevitably religion and emotion will be tied together.
