In Arabic when we see someone became more beautiful we say “tnawarti” which comes from “Noor” or “Light” in Arabic. It means that someone has made inner effort to come closer to Divine Presence and organically became blessed with Divine Light. It is visible in someones face...
When you fall in love with someone, you are falling in love with aspects of God that is visible through them.

الاهتمام في الحب أشبه بأن تقوم بتربية قطة، لا يمكنك أن تقدم لها البطاطس المقلية لأنها وجبتك المفضلة وﻷنك تعشقها كثيرا، ثم تتذمر بعد ذلك حين لا يعجبها اﻷمر، وترى أنها لا تقدر ما تفعله من أجلها والوقت والجهد الذين تبذلهما في شراء البطاطس وغسلها وتقشيرها وتقطيعها وقليها، ثم تخبر بعد ذلك أنها متطلبة وأنها لا تستحقك، في الحب إما أن تقدم لمن معك ما يحتاجه هو تماما أو حينها سيكون كل ما تقدمه، حتى وإن كان أفضل ما لديك، لا معنى له.
