Poem: To Those Not Strong Enough To Accept Polygyny

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 If "behind every successful man is a woman", 

Shouldn't a guy be allowed to double his winnings, 

Not to lose his first wife nor point out her shortcomings, 

But for his soul's training and to increase the blessings.

~•~

A Muslim man has every right to marry again, 

Especially if his wife can't bear him more children.

Polygyny grants access to improving patience, 

Time management, fairness, and controlling emotions.

~•~

It's not cute to threaten your husband with you leaving

And taking your kids if he takes another woman.

Who are you to question Allah's Rulings and Wisdom?

The fact that you're Allah's servant have you forgotten?

~•~

Fine, if that permission bothers you, that's your problem.

Hate it, but don't stop your soulmate from remarrying.

His love for another mustn't lessen your passion.

Through your stubbornness in staying, your love is proven.

~•~

Funny how some females get all anxious and frightened 

When lawful polygyny is discussed or mentioned, 

Yet they have no issue with telling lies, backbiting, 

Neglecting Salah, envying others, or scamming.

~•~

Do you think Allah would decree a legislation 

That would cause more harm than good to His female servants? 

From submitting to Allah's Will is to have patience

As much as possible with what Allah has destined.

~•~

Those who view polygyny as "unjust injunction" 

Should recheck their life mission and each of their actions.

Injustice is to insist upon disobedience,

And instead of serving Allah, one worships feelings.

~•~

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."
