Insult to injury stabbed in the back
Trying to escape with pride still intact
Under the sleeves of her sweater they sit
Gashes and bruises and scars from their hits
Taunting and teasing and snarling alike
What they don’t know is her life ends tonight
One must be careful when dealing with flames
There’s an affect when you call someone names

Shaykul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah: It is sufficient to note that one of the effects of love of a member of the opposite gender is enslavement of the heart which is held captive to the loved one. So love is a door that leads to humiliation and servility. That is sufficient to put one off this sickness. [Majmoo&#039; al Fataawa 10/132]
