Soul Mate?

“You complete me” the line from the movie Jerry McGuire. These three words were able to elicit a collective sigh, and became a mantra for women. The reason being, she had found her soul mate.

The dictionary (true source of feelings and emotions) describes the soul mate as follows. “Somebody with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality and/or compatibility.”

If indeed, we are each given this one perfect person in life why is the divorce rate so high? That same person, who once had the ability to finish your sentences, now is accused of not letting you finish a complete thought on your own. What about the people who never marry, are they doomed to a life of being alone, never sharing the bliss of that perfect love?

Remember the days you could never imagine being separated from one another? While today you would chew off your own arm to be free from him/her.

As human beings we all yearn to feel beautifully connected to someone else. Physically and emotionally sure, we know what is pleasing to our eyes and for that matter, feeds our ego. I still wonder what a soul mate is, and do they really exist?

Alhamdulillah as Muslims we believe that our soul (Ruh) is given to us direct from Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) while still in the womb. This being true, is it possible our soul is not searching for its mate within another person?

Our soul is seeking patiently the message of Islam. The glorious guidance found only within the Qur’an. The message comforts, gives life and sustains our soul from the moment Allah (swt) said “Be” until our final return to Him. It’s my opinion this, is the true mate for our soul. Insha Allah we can all stop searching outwardly, for what has been living inside each of us all along.

I just read this inspirational note about soul mates here... maybe to get the perfect soul mate, you need to BE the perfect soul mate.

Masha' Allah, very well put together! Completely agree.

The problem is sacrificing a part of ourselves for someone who'll turn out to be using us at the end!

I've seen extreme love turns to extreme hatred, the Islamic model of love & marriage is proving to be the best with every story I hear or experience I go through.

Thanks a lot for the reminder!
