💌 When the man whom I love for Allah's sake is upset,
Knowing it's a test, I make peace with my husband's stress,
Sympathizing with his needs and longing for some rest,
I'd leave him space as I run to Allah to confess:
~•~
Marriage is tough but for Allah's sake I'll try my best,
Pleasing Allah through this union that keeps me modest,
Away from all sorts of unlawful relationships,
Praying that Allah preserves this bond and keeps it blessed.
~•~
It's a test, I recall, when my husband makes a mess -
An emotional wreck to my thoughts each time he's missed,
When he takes too long to respond to my message texts,
And when most of my loved ones are my husband's critics.
~•~
It's just Allah's test, I tell myself, when some obsess
Over how I deserve somebody else more pious,
One who has more time for me so I'm not neglected,
Who is more romantic, and won't let me seem oppressed.
~•~
When Allah lets me meet souls with good vibes like magnets,
Controlling myself to avoid feeling attracted,
It's a test, I recall, so I have my feels shifted
Towards my soulmate whom Allah wisely selected.
~•~
For Allah I love my husband though he's imperfect,
This tie pushes me to be patient and devoted,
In spite of obstacles we pray we can go through this
Till we reach Jannah's Gates sighing, "Patience was worth it."
~•~
It's fine if I'm married to one who isn't flawless.
His human flaws like mine don't cause me to love him less.
My spouse is Allah's choice. Allah's Decree I accept,
Yearning to meet Allah in Jannah with eagerness.
~•~
