The Reprehensibility of Infatuation

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Separation from one s beloved is the penalty for infatuation.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The one who is infatuated with something, his eyes become blind and his heart becomes sick, such that he sees with unsound eyes and hears with deaf ears, his base desires having torn apart his reason and [love of] the world having killed his heart.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when asked about infatuation, replied, ‘Hearts that are empty of the remembrance of Allah are given to taste by Allah the love of other than Him.
