π In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
π Quick poem on ‘the search of true love’ as requested -
First tip: Stay modest. Avoid haraam relationships.
If you wish to be wed to a spouse who is righteous,
Fix yourself first. Stay away from the prohibited.
~•~
Second: Talk to Allah and earnestly supplicate.
For the right other half who deserves you daily pray.
Say du'as that Allah blesses your marriage always,
And grants you patience to accept every fate with faith.
~•~
Third: Remember, you don’t need a man to complete you.
One’s marriage life does not measure a Muslim’s value.
Still, marriage is a Sunnah which should not be eschewed.
Better married young than sin through zinaa in one’s youths.
~•~
Four: Before marriage life, learn Islam, know its rulings.
Read about the requirements for a blissful union.
Also research on polygyny and its wisdom.
Befriend happy Muslim wives and learn lessons from them.
~•~
Five: When you like someone, let guardians or loved ones know.
Should there be no meeting, try fasting for self-control,
With modesty lower your gaze wherever you go.
Shun needless free-mixing. Don’t have a flirtatious tone.
~•~
As a single Muslimah don’t court those you adore
Nor create forbidden relations just coz you’re bored.
If one day a man approaches your folks to propose,
Don’t let his age, race or tribe make you quickly say no.
~•~
Prior to deciding, pray Sunnah Istikhaarah.
Cleanse Niyyah before accepting; do it for Allah.
Nikah for Allah’s sake becomes blessed Inn-sha-Allah.
A marriage that’s a blessing goes on until Jannah.
