Poem: Some Signs That Good Wives Love Their Husbands

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

💌 A pious woman's love, when she loves for Allah's sake,

Isn't limited to a kiss but in myriad ways.

Her love is not restricted to sweet words, tight embrace,

And cuddles, but through other means her love is portrayed.

~•~

She proves her love for her husband when she tries her best 

To be his grateful wife who doesn't bring him distress,

Contented with what he can provide, sad when he's stressed,

Doing what she can so he smiles, and helping him rest. 

~•~

The phrase "I love you" for her man are put to action 

When she raises her hands to say Du'a, and mentions 

Her husband's name in loving supplications often,

Praying for his guidance, safety and soul's well-being. 

~•~

Her love is proven each time she misses his presence, 

Whether he's gone for few hours or longer duration.

While in most of her thoughts and dreams he's an occupant, 

She loves Allah so much more, hence she remains patient. 

~•~

Her statements "I love you" for her spouse are enacted 

Sincerely when she strives to pass each marital test, 

By lowering her gaze, shunning those deemed attractive,

And staying fiercely loyal to protect her marriage.

~•~

In modesty and keeping her charms for her husband, 

Avoiding flirting and needless chats with non-mahrams,

Her loyalty is shown, wholehearted and genuine, 

Growing in compassion since Allah connected them. 

~•~

Respecting her soulmate's rights, caring for their children, 

Maintaining friendly ties with his parents and loved ones, 

And learning Islam with him so their faith is strengthened,

Are from countless signs a wife truly loves her husband.

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."
