💌 Seven reasons why a Muslim man may remarry,
Keeping the first wife while loving another lady,
While he can afford, with financial ability,
To try his best to care for multiple wives fairly:
~•~
One: The woman whom a married guy wants to marry
May be someone whom he went on dates with formerly,
When he was ignorant, back in university,
Or in high school, and by marrying her lawfully,
He protects himself from zina and adultery.
~•~
Two: He's fatherly, likes kids, and wishes to increase
The size of his family, or the first can't conceive
More babies, or she's tested with infertility.
Three: The woman happens to be one of his colleagues.
By having her as his wife, he preserves chastity.
~•~
Four: With a wife from a different tribe or country,
The man seeks to strengthen the Muslim community.
By marrying from another nationality
Or background, one plays a role in bringing harmony
Among Muslims and tribalism too can decrease.
~•~
Five: To comply with the request of the first wifey,
Who aims to ensure that her husband is not guilty
Of zina when encountering fitna, specially
If he works or studies in a faraway city,
And her agreement proves that her love for him is real.
~•~
Six: He's the kind of guy who gets fed up easily,
Gets bored with just one lover and fixed daily routine.
You can't blame him if how he was brought up previously
Taught him it's fine to be spoiled and meet needs instantly.
Wives of such kind of guys are trained to love patiently.
~•~
Seven: He manages branches in various cities.
With a wife in each assigned place, he can guarantee,
With Allah's Will, extra output and efficiency.
As a Muslim servant, don't question Allah's Decree,
And as your husband's wife, if you know your love is real,
You'd never leave, even if your soulmate remarries.

📖 Aisha RadhiAllahu 'anha narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Marriage is part of my Sunnah. Whoever does not act upon my Sunnah is not part of me. Give each other in marriage, for I will boast of your great numbers before the nations. Whoever has the means, let him contract a marriage. Whoever does not have the means should fast, as fasting will restrain his impulses."
