💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Like dunya, marriage is a test. There'll be ups and downs,
Good times, tough times, moments when you laugh followed by frowns,
Challenges with different kinds of fitna around.
Numbers quickly quit if their faith isn't firm and sound,
If pleasing Allah isn't what their love is about.

Marriage isn't for the weak, who easily give up
On the human whom Allah chose as their other half.
Marriage isn't for the faint-hearted, not tough enough
To go on when sweet episodes temporarily stop
Or when their spouse shows their imperfections they get shocked.
~•~
You married a human, not an android, you forgot?
Like you, your husband gets tired oftentimes and fed up
When overworked and overwhelmed, like metals can rust.
Like some maintain blades by sharpening them on and off,
To stay married, persistence and patience are a must.

Don't let shaytan win each time he suggests, "Just give up.
Your man doesn't love you. He's negligent and too rough."
Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan's plots. Don't give up.
True love for Allah's sake with time only develops
You and your spouse as Muslims - it's not easily stopped.

Not condoning actual abuse nor guys who do drugs,
I'm advising fellow wives to persevere, stay tough,
And when the husband displays harshness or misconduct
To patiently forgive him, mention him in Du'as,
And to await Allah's rewards in Jannah above.

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."
