💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 If divorce were a bridge leading to so-called freedom,
I wouldn't cross it if doing so meant impatience,
Discontentment with the man whom Allah has chosen
As my spouse and expecting him to breathe perfection.
~•~
If divorce were a mansion glowing with adornments
And buying it guaranteed lasting satisfaction,
I wouldn't even tour it if it brought more problems
And further fitna would arise through separation.
~•~
If divorce were a doorway that led to a kingdom
Which many women went through and easily opened,
I wouldn't come near it if making that decision
Was uncertain while remorse and grief are its outcomes.
~•~
Divorce is lawful, if it comes with valid reasons,
And if staying married causes your faith to weaken.
Before requesting for divorce, seek Allah's Guidance,
And with the man you married, have a good discussion.
~•~
If you truly loved him from the very beginning,
You'd do what you can for Allah to save this union.
Quarrels, frequent absence, and distance have solutions -
Patience, understanding, and not letting shaytan win.
~•~
It's shaytan who wants to break halal love connections,
Who wants people to serve their ego and resentment,
And who finds spouses arguing so entertaining -
Don't give in to his plans. Be patient with your husband.
~•~
Remind yourself, your other half is only human.
In loving your man for Allah's sake be determined.
With Jannatul Ferdaus as your main destination,
Pray that your soulmate succeeds too - don't rush to leave him.

📖 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. 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!'"
