💌 It is possible to fall in love with your husband
Even if he's not very tall, wealthy or handsome,
When his heart, faith and persona caught your attention,
And through your bond with him, you've learned many life lessons.
~•~
Despite his acne, scars and any disfigurement,
And though he's not as muscular as other buff men,
It's feasible to stay loyal to your dear husband
When his efforts make him worthy of your affection.
~•~
Although he lacks six-pack abs or impressive talents,
Become mesmerized by how he's tough and hardworking,
Dedicated to winning, caring towards loved ones,
Funny, kind, understanding, and charming with children.
~•~
A loving spouse, in spite of his outward appearance,
Can be so captivating if he shines from within,
With trust in Allah, striving to be a good Muslim,
And supporting his family with halal income.
~•~
Who cares if your man doesn't look like K-Pop icons,
Or if his vigor doesn't match giants and lions.
So long as his commitment attracts sweet sentiments,
And loving him brings you near Allah, he's a blessing.
~•~
He's a keeper. He deserves you. At least he's trying.
Know he's doing his best. If only you could see him
When he's on duty, when he misses you, when driving,
And when he softly mentions your name while he's praying.
~•~
Remember he's human, not an ATM machine.
He's not your servant either. Support him like a team
Serving Allah together to fulfill all your dreams,
To reach Jannah, glad you didn't quit so you both win.

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."
