To speak to others in the language of love, we should use gentle and affectionate words and speak with good intentions.
In the Holy Quran, the importance of love and kindness towards one another is expressed in various ways. Love plays a crucial role in our social lives, and we must strive to use the language of love when interacting with others. In Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 159, Allah says to the Prophet (PBUH) that if he were harsh with them, they would have dispersed from around him: 'So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude in speech and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you.' This verse underscores the necessity of compassion and gentleness in speaking with others. Furthermore, in Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 96, it is stated that we should treat others with goodness and kindness. Using affectionate words, expressing love towards others, and showing respect are characteristic features of the language of love. This language can strengthen our relationships and create an atmosphere of friendship and empathy. It is also narrated in hadiths that the Prophet (PBUH) emphasized the significance of love, stating, 'Love is the best language.' Thus, using this language in our conversations with others goes beyond just what we say; it also includes the manner and tone in which we express ourselves. When we speak with others, we should do so with good and sincere intentions, and from the depths of our hearts so that we can attract their love as well.
So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude in speech and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you.
And repel by that [good deed] which is best. And thereupon, the one whom between you and him is enmity will be as though he was a devoted friend.
One day, a man in a city was searching for a way to communicate better with others. He went to a religious scholar and asked him, 'How can I speak to people with love?' The scholar replied, 'Using gentle and nice words that come from the heart is the key. When you speak with love and sincerity to others, they too will respond with love.' The man made all his efforts, and from that day forward, he spoke lovingly to others, and his relationships improved miraculously.
