💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To every wife who married her husband for Allah,
Who agreed to his proposal to be his zawja,
Who said "yes" from the start, "forever until Jannah",
Know that marriage ain't easy, expect times of fitna.
~•~
There'll be moments when you realize you're unlike,
Differing in many ways in your likes and dislikes.
Maybe you like jokes while he's more of a serious type,
Perhaps you're more righteous and his faith isn't yet high.
~•~
So what if he squeezes the toothpaste from the center,
So what if he comes home tired from work with some odor?
He can fix himself up, you can remind each other,
And remember you too don't always smell like flowers.
~•~
You married a human, not an ATM machine,
Not a robot nor fictional genie who grants dreams.
So forgive him, be strong enough to work as a team,
And together for Allah strive in boosting your Deen.
~•~
Don't scold him when he arrives late, investigating
And demanding where he went, as though you can't trust him.
Don't be too quick to criticize what seems apparent,
When behind tough choices are challenging conditions.
~•~
Comfort your other half, help when he needs assistance,
When he's struggling be grateful and show contentment.
Loyalty to your spouse is not only rewarding,
It can also lead you to Jannah for your patience.
~•~
Divorce shouldn't be the first response, but discussion,
Negotiation and loving consideration.
If loving your husband inspires your faith to strengthen,
As you love Allah more, your marriage is a blessing.

📖 Jabir RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Verily, shaytan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops (from the devils). The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: 'I have done this and this.' shaytan says: 'You have done nothing.' Another one says: 'I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.' shaytan embraces him and he says: 'You have done well.'”
