💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Even if all marriage coaches on earth advised me,
Saying "you deserve better", "he's bad for you, trust me",
And "leave him. Marry someone else who'll meet all your needs.",
I'd thank them for their concern yet decline stubbornly
Their advice for me to ditch my zawj to feel more "free".
~•~
Even if most of my acquaintances and colleagues
Were divorced or became single parents recently,
While each one would whine about their ex relentlessly,
I'd avoid their toxic rants or hear noise patiently,
And their complaints wouldn't prompt me to hate my hubby.
~•~
Tell me "you deserve someone better", I'd go "really?
You expect me to agree and deny your envy?
Jealous of my loyalty? There's possibility.
Envious of a man whose wife is content, won't cheat,
And whose halal love story was by Allah decreed?"
~•~
Telling a married woman who's happy inwardly
To find a new lover is as futile and silly
As advising sea turtles to have their shells released,
Or obligating bees to cease producing honey.
You can't stop her love if it's real and already deep.
~•~
Even if her husband one day told her furiously
That she's divorced, she'd still love him from far quietly,
Rejecting all marriage proposals that she receives,
As she prays for his return, to resume their journey.
Forgetting one's spouse whom Allah chose isn't easy.
