💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Why I hesitate to ask my husband for divorce,
Even though it is halal if problems can't be solved:
I believe that the man whom Allah the Most Wise chose
As my soulmate inspires my love for Allah to grow,
Specially through Du'as when my man's not always close.
~•~
I believe there's wisdom in Allah bringing us both.
Through this marriage, thanks to Allah, I have learned and known
The sweet outcomes of patience with what Allah bestows,
Polygyny's role in inspiring spiritual growth,
And how real love is shown when you forgive your man's faults.
~•~
It's not that I don't have the guts to beg for divorce.
I'd rather focus on a rose's scent and colors
Than be a dreary critic that whines about its thorns.
I'd rather keep a gift from Allah than have it thrown,
More so if throwing it away just leads to remorse.

"He's busy, not abusive.", "He clearly didn't know.",
"Yes, at times he may be too preoccupied with work,
But I'm aware he's got other dreams, concerns and goals.
As his wife, I don't want to be the cause of his hurt,
His tears, weakened level of faith, and feelings of guilt."
~•~
If ever we split up, I'd only wish to return,
Research ways to have wedding two with my husband first,
Refusing to quit as I wasn't born a coward.
As a Muslimah who strives to value Allah's Laws,
I believe marriage stays strong when it's for Allah's Love.

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."
