💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 What kind of woman is willing to share her husband
And who's fine with her man marrying another one?
A brave and humble soul who knows she's Allah's servant,
Who sees polygyny as a chance for improvement
In training her to defeat her nafs and have patience -
~•~
Instead of reacting to this kind of permission
With impatience, impudence and dissatisfaction,
She submits to Allah with admirable patience -
Accepting Allah's decisions and what He destines,
Aware of the truth that this world isn't permanent.
~•~
Since Jannatul Ferdaus is this wife's destination,
And serving Allah, not her ego, is her concern,
She handles polygyny with determined patience -
Despite being tested with jealousy now and then,
She stands strong and won't surrender to her emotions.
~•~
Because she tries her best to be pious, obedient,
And sincere, Allah the Almighty grants her guidance,
Wisdom, understanding, inner strength, faith and patience -
Trust in Allah and contentment with what He destined
Inspire her to love her spouse with sweet dedication.
~•~
"It's his right to remarry," that's her way of thinking,
"Allah is testing me. I shouldn't be complaining.
Polygyny ain't a problem when it adds blessings
Through which I attain more of Allah's Love through patience -
Jannah is where we can enjoy bliss with perfection."
