💌 Loving my spouse is one of the best gifts Allah gave.
Through my husband I learned not to care what critics say,
While loving him unconditionally night and day.
Despite differences we're the same in many ways.
~•~
As he told me before, his past was not that easy.
To be a doctor he did a lot more than study.
He sacrificed much of his pleasures for his studies.
As his prize, Allah granted him a patient wife - me.
~•~
Though not so romantic nor sweet in how he behaves,
I find strength in being the one to initiate.
Each time I bring his hand to mine he reciprocates,
Letting me love him even more in spite of his age.
~•~
He's like an empty page on which I write love stories.
He's the inspiration to my smiles, love poetry,
And thoughts that remind me to keep loving loyally.
Although not handsome to many, he's enough for me.
~•~
He makes me act like a lawyer defending a case
And client misunderstood by the majority.
Like a savory dish disliked by everybody,
I don't mind loving him; he was meant to be 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."
