The love of Allah has different colours or states. Sometimes mention is made of the fire of love and at other times the coolness of His Love. Added to this, each Wali has his own experience. One Wali of Allah had said : “…He (Allah Ta’ala) covers me with the warmth of His Love during
Winter, and He covers me with the coolness of His Love during Summer…”

Some forms of Zikr create warmth, while other forms of Zikr create a coolness. For some there is sorrow in the separation of their beloved Allah; for some, restlessness in the quest of
the Beloved, and for others, a laughter in the heart. Each heart is coloured in a different shade of Divine Love, and therefore has its own experience and story to tell, which the tongue finds difficult to sometimes describe.

“ What word did you utter in the ear of the flower
That it now laughs with pleasure?
And what did you mention to the nightingale
That now through the pains of love,
It weeps and laments ? ”
