Characteristics of Modern Slavery from the Perspective of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi

Love in Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi's Viewpoint

One can claim to be a true lover when one set aside the love for the self in order to be able to make sacrifices for his loved one.  In fact, true love is realized when one forgets everything and everyone, even his own self, other than his loved one. A true lover would also forget his own selfish interests and is ready to make any kind of sacrifice for his loved one.
