💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Three signs that indicate your marriage is a blessing,
Full of barakah, a love journey wisely destined,
And by Allah the Most Wise your romance was written,
So you and your spouse thank Allah, without regretting,
For making you each other's soulmates with contentment:
~•~
One: Though you and your husband don't have many children,
Or if you married late, or you frequently miss him
Since he works far away and can't see you as often
As you both would want, or he doesn't have high earnings,
You can afford to wait and patience isn't tiring.
~•~
His frequent absence, wide age gap, distance, employment
And your profession making matters more challenging,
Current low income, and other tough situations,
Don't lead to doubting the reasons why you married him,
But you're content, and won't question Allah's selection.
~•~
Two: Another sign that your love is filled with blessings
Is clear improvement in you both, as striving Muslims.
Loving each other for Allah has sweetly enhanced
Your empathy, Sabr, gratitude, and resilience,
While past misdoings, for Allah, have been abandoned.
~•~
One another you encourage to be determined
In doing good deeds to please Allah such as praying,
Fasting, reading the Qur'an, wearing modest clothing,
Learning about Islam, advising, and mentioning
Each other's names in loving Du'as/supplications.
~•~
Three: Feel ever grateful that Allah the All-Knowing
Blessed your marriage if this love brings you closer to Him,
If it protects you from fitna and forbidden flings,
And despite several souls catching your attention,
You stubbornly persist in loving your dear husband.
~•~
You know your spouse is a blessing if he's inspiring,
If his good qualities inspire yours to be strengthened,
And if you have improved ever since marrying him,
As his soulmate, and one of Allah's faithful servants,
A blessed wife who strives for Jannah with dedication.

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."
