💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To each wife whose husband works in a different place,
Who is employed or studying many miles away,
And who can't see their other half every night and day:
Don't get tired of loving your soulmate for Allah's sake.
~•~
I understand how sometimes we wish things were perfect,
How fine it would be if lovers didn't separate,
And if missing one's partner didn't lead to heartaches.
But admit it, this is life, we're bound to be tested.
~•~
In marriage, expect your patience being examined
When you must deal with the grief of your husband's absence,
When you can't be near him often unlike your friends' men,
And when you make decisions that require rethinking.
~•~
At times you imagine how amazing it would be
If you and your husband lived together constantly -
No need for work, no LDR, no polygyny -
But to pass Allah's tests is dunya's reality.
~•~
No worries. Jannah is where you and your spouse can love
Eternally without trials nor a busy job.
Thank Allah that your love journey trains you to be tough.
Though you can't always be with your zawj, never give up.
~•~
When dreams of your husband make you miss him even more,
And when you need your husband's comforting hugs or words,
Mention his name in your Du'as to prove he's adored,
Pray you'll both be in Jannah, and know this life is short.
~•~
So no matter how long you wait for your man's return
Or how far he is, the sky above is the same one,
And the strength of true love shouldn't drop due to distance,
Since loving him for Allah is worth all the waiting.

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."
