The dove's necklace

The Ring of the Dove by Ali ibn Hazm al-Andalusi ... Love - may Allah honor you - its beginning is jest and its end is seriousness, its meanings are profound beyond description, and its true nature can only be understood through suffering. It is not forbidden in religion, nor is it prohibited in Sharia, as hearts are in the hands of Allah, the Almighty. Passion, infatuation, ardor, and obsession; love, secrecy, affection, and madness or insanity. People have differed about the nature of love and have spoken at length, but what I believe is that it is a connection between parts of souls divided in this creation, rooted in their noble origin. The Ring of the Dove in companionship and bonds, Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi's treatise on the description of love, its meanings, causes, symptoms, and what occurs within it, focusing on what he knew and experienced from events, incidents, and situations. It includes advice and great benefits, divided into chapters starting with signs of love and ending with chastity. Ibn Hazm addressed the emotion of love in a narrative style from an analytical human perspective, incorporating poetry, stories, and accounts of lovers as seen or narrated by trustworthy people of his time. One of the most beautiful writings about love, a book that must be read in every era, for love has no shame in hearts.
