Poem: Authentic Love For Allah's Sake Doesn't Know How To Give Up

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 The likeness of a wife who has always been in love 
With the man whom Allah destined as her other half 
And with much stubbornness she refuses to give up 
Is that of diamonds that can't easily be cut.
~•~
Her loyalty continues shining despite loud storms, 
Like roses that mesmerize in spite of their sharp thorns. 
Her strength to keep on loving comes from Allah Alone,
And deep love for Allah's sake is what keeps the bond strong.
~•~
Visualize a scene in which her husband cannot read, 
While she teaches him literacy so patiently, 
Eager to see him progress and improve gradually, 
Readily forgiving his flaws and deficiencies.
~•~
She's his friend who hesitates to disturb his sound sleep, 
Yet when it's time to pray, she'll wake him up lovingly. 
Her tongue never tires pronouncing his name frequently 
In sweet Du'as and her heart chimes in with harmony.
~•~
Her love is deeper than physical, it's loyalty 
Mixed with plentiful hope, and patience with empathy - 
The kind that whispers, "Dear husband, I won't leave, sorry, 
Until Allah decrees that you reach Jannah with me."

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."
