💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 So long as your love is for Allah, such love won't die,
Whether it's love between two Muslims who are alike,
Love among good friends, or love between husband and wife,
That kind of love lasts long even until Paradise.
~•~
This love says "I'll keep loving you!" when one says "Goodbye..."
To move to another place in order to survive.
This love brings comfort when you shed tears or try to smile,
And it either grows or stays the same, not harmed by pride.
~•~
When you love someone for Allah's sake, you remain fine,
Patient with their imperfections, loving their good side,
Grateful when they're around, loyal when they're out of sight,
Forgiving them, not making expectations too high.
~•~
Since they're under Allah's Care, and underneath same skies,
You don't make it a rule to see them each day and night.
It's alright to communicate just once in a while.
Their busy schedules and yours don't cause you to deride.
~•~
Your love is like that of wives whose husbands are confined
In jails or hospitals. Their true love doesn't decline.
Deep love so genuine keeps their loyalty refined,
Shining brightly with patience and gratitude sublime.
~•~
This love inspires you to not quit after many tries,
Because every moment spent with Sabr is worthwhile.
Through loving them for Allah, your faith/Imaan would rise,
And you know this love is real, as it brings peace of mind.
~•~
With love like this one, free from envy, you won't get tired,
Because after tough times, a stronger you would arise,
Together with the one you love for Allah, you'd fight
To defeat obstacles on the way to Paradise.
