In an attempt to rationalize life, we have dismissed the importance of emotion. Too many people look at feelings as some human weakness were meant to suppress. Feelings are a creation of God, deliberately put in us for a reason. Emotion should be directed and managed--not suppressed and ignored. Although complete obedience and submission is saved for the Creator, Islam highly respects and considers human emotion. For example, when a man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said he was going to marry a woman from the ansar he had not seen, the Prophet (pbuh) told him to go look at her. When the wife of Ibn Thabit asked for a divorce because of what she felt (despite no ill treatment from her husband), the Prophet pbuh respected her feelings and granted her the divorce. In the Quran, Allah says He returned Musa (AS) to his mother so her eyes would be cooled and she would not grieve. Her *feelings* were that important to Allah. Yasmeen Mogahed
