💌 If you can patiently wait for the Maghreb Adhaan
While fasting, then you should be able to understand
You too can stay patient, when you have strong faith/Imaan,
With your husband who's a human, aware that each man
Has feelings and can falter when things get out of hand.
~•~
If you can wait for rain clouds to stop wetting the lands,
Calmly hope for the fruition of trees and growth of plants,
And await Allah's Response to your prayers and wants,
Then you have strength to compassionately understand
Patience with your spouse is simple with firm faith/Imaan.
~•~
"How can you maintain patience..." if you ask "with the man
Whom Allah wisely chose as your soulmate?" Understand
That he's human, flawed and imperfect, just as you'd want
Him to know you can't always please him, meet his demands
Twenty-four-seven and act like a perfect servant.
~•~
Understand there will be moments when he needs to rant,
Whine about work, ignore you to treat other loved ones,
Drop your calls for tasks which he sees are more important,
Or when he acts out each time stress and grief he confronts.
I don't condone abuse, but understanding your man...
~•~
...whom Allah sent as your friend, not flawless assistant,
To help each other serve Allah in the way He wants.
Through each other's flaws your faith/Imaan can be enhanced
When you embrace patience while love for Allah commands
You to keep loving your spouse to earn Jannah's entrance.

📖 Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Some people from the Ansaar asked the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and he gave them. Then they asked for charity again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them. Then they asked again and he SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave them until all he had was gone. The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I had anything, I would not withhold it. Whoever refrains from asking others, then Allah will make him content. Whoever would be independent, then Allah will make him independent. Whoever would be patient, then Allah will make him patient. There is no gift that is better and more comprehensive than patience."
