Poem: Be Patiently Persistent In Loving Your Husband For Allah's Sake

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

💌 Even though our marriage is not completely perfect,

For Allah I love my spouse without any regret.

Albeit some of our needs and desires remain unmet,

My husband's best traits and sweet memories I cherish.

~•~

Yet again I reiterate my love stubbornly,

Defending my other half with intense loyalty,

I'll love him patiently till patience gets tired of me -

The strength of my love extends beyond what most can see.

~•~

Whether I'm his only wife or in polygyny,

I choose to love my husband whom Allah chose for me.

To like or admire many I may have tendency,

But my romantic love is for my husband strictly.

~•~

Seriously in countless ways he taught me how to love -

Love unconditionally for just Allah Above.

The feelings I hold for my man I refuse to stop

Ever since he was destined to be my other half.

~•~

Until Allah takes his soul I won't quit loving him,

Even if for myriad decades he goes on living.

Until clouds cry droplets of crystals and cinnamon,

I'll love my husband and withstand his imperfections.

~•~

I want to be that wife who when shaytan whines "Leave him",

I silence his whispers with patience and contentment.

And when shaytan invites me to do what's forbidden

Or give in, I ignore his vile insinuations.

~•~

My spouse, I believe, is from Allah the Almighty.

I can't take for granted the blessing Allah gave me.

You don't need to agree with me; this is my journey.

I pray this leads to Jannah's eternal peace. Ameen.
