We all heard the word al hob, the Arabic translation for love, bandied about in seemingly every pop song and television drama, but is it the only word out there?
It is a question posed by Muhamed Al Khalil, an associate professor of Arabic at New York University, Abu Dhabi.
The linguist explains how many Arabic speakers are yet to grasp the rich vocabulary on offer when it comes to expressing the various stages of love. There are so many lists or series of words about love that you can find in Arabic literature, he says. Many authors and Islamic scholars, like Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah (1292-1350), identified about 10 levels of love, while in the Sufi tradition, it is said there are up to 40 levels.
