Poem: To Stay Married And In Love, Love Your Husband For Allah's Sake And Don't Quit Easily.

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Like dunya, marriage is a test. There'll be ups and downs, 
Good times, tough times, moments when you laugh followed by frowns, 
Challenges with different kinds of fitna around. 
Numbers quickly quit if their faith isn't firm and sound, 
If pleasing Allah isn't what their love is about.
~•~
Marriage isn't for the weak, who easily give up 
On the human whom Allah chose as their other half.
Marriage isn't for the faint-hearted, not tough enough 
To go on when sweet episodes temporarily stop
Or when their spouse shows their imperfections they get shocked.
~•~
You married a human, not an android, you forgot? 
Like you, your husband gets tired oftentimes and fed up 
When overworked and overwhelmed, like metals can rust.
Like some maintain blades by sharpening them on and off, 
To stay married, persistence and patience are a must.
~•~
Don't let shaytan win each time he suggests, "Just give up. 
Your man doesn't love you. He's negligent and too rough." 
Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan's plots. Don't give up. 
True love for Allah's sake with time only develops 
You and your spouse as Muslims - it's not easily stopped.
~•~
Not condoning actual abuse nor guys who do drugs, 
I'm advising fellow wives to persevere, stay tough, 
And when the husband displays harshness or misconduct 
To patiently forgive him, mention him in Du'as, 
And to await Allah's rewards in Jannah above.

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."

Poem: Sample Letter Or Message Which You May Give To Unattainable "Crushes"

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A sample letter from a soul 'in love' to the one admired,
To soothe heartbroken souls, and so some lessons can be derived:
"Dear 'crush', the secret recipient of my heart's wrongful desires,
I would like to wholeheartedly explain and apologize
Why I exhibit rudeness when I can't look you in the eye.
~•~
Whether you've been told this before or not yet, I wish to say
That I find you appealing and special in all sorts of ways.
You give me the feelings of being delighted and amazed,
Nervous in your presence, down and nostalgic when you're away.
Although you look incredible, I choose to lower my gaze.
~•~
Thoughts of being your lover are among the battles I fight,
Wondering what you taste like, while resisting at the same time,
Has led me feeling ashamed of sensations I try to hide.
On some days I strive to fast, then resort to crying at night,
Begging Allah to forgive the emotions I keep inside.
~•~ 
I never chose to have these feelings nor like you in that way.
If I could do anything, I'd want to go numb any day,
Devoid of being magnetized by your captivating face,
Or return to the past like a time machine and click replay,
To avoid future heartbreaks, how we first met would be erased.
~•~
But I got no superpowers apart from faith and insight,
Guidance from Allah the Most Wise Who shows me what's wrong and right.
Since zina is a major sin, I want it out of my sight.
Thus I control my glances to remain chaste, with Allah's Light,
Praying that Allah protects you and me from evils and crimes.
~•~
I'm sorry I left your text on 'seen' mode and you had to wait.
I had to end our sinful chats and quit playing shaytan's games.
Every message you sent me and each moment I read your name
Made my body shake with arousal but with abundant shame,
So I've decided to walk away from you for Allah's sake.
~•~
Please don't assume I hate you; you're a sweetheart I really like.
Nonetheless my love for Allah outweighs this dunya's desires.
Though we're not close anymore, you're in my Du'as day and night.
Let's distance ourselves from each other till we reach Paradise,
Where we can meet Allah and receive whatever we desire."
~•~
📖 Abu Qatadah RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah the Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better."
