💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Advice to wives whose husbands intend to remarry,
And it's their first time to get into polygyny:
Firstly, Alhamdulillah, the fact that you agreed
To let your spouse love another woman lawfully
Indicates your strength and patience with Allah's Decree.
~•~
So glad tidings, good on you, you're not someone who seeks
Dunya's fleeting pleasures and desires temporary.
You're strong enough to accept Allah's Will patiently
In letting your husband marry again legally.
You want him happy, not guilty of adultery.
~•~
Understand your husband loving others doesn't mean
The love he has for you has prominently decreased.
See it as a way of granting more space and relief.
When he's with the other wife, you're free to eat and sleep,
Resting from constant perfection of spousal duties.
~•~
Your husband's second wife shouldn't be your enemy.
Together, for Allah, or indirectly compete
Not in who receives the most love from your shared hubby,
But in who's good at self-control when sad or angry,
And who's better at Sabr when triggered by envy.
~•~
Since she's part of the family, show some sympathy,
Pray that Allah grants you pure hearts free from jealousy,
Don't let ego make you both emotionally weak,
And if gradually you can't be close friends then at least
Don't harm her. Treat her with manners, fairness and mercy.
