💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Dear husband, the man whom Allah gave me as my friend,
My spouse, soulmate and travel companion to Heaven:
Please note that I didn't marry you for your income
Or your job position. I'm not like other women
Who flee when the husband's financially struggling.
~•~
I'm the kind of wife who won't quickly leave her husband
If he got fired from work or he goes through depression.
Instead of deserting, this faithful wife, with patience
And determination, would try her best to help him
Overcome difficulties despite her own problems.
~•~
Know the following are not from my expectations:
Seeing you earn millions of cash, owning large mansions,
Driving luxury cars, daily there for your children,
Always looking flawless and free from imperfections.
I expect you to serve Allah more as a Muslim.
~•~
I don't need you working hard for worldly enjoyment,
Neglecting loved ones to maintain job satisfaction,
And tiring yourself out to preserve reputation.
I just want you striving for Allah as a Muslim,
Utilizing well the blessings Allah has given.
~•~
Work to survive on earth, to thrive in the life to come,
And, if Allah destines, to perform Hajj at least once,
Without ever worrying that you'll get abandoned
If your wealth isn't much. You're loved not for your income
But for Allah - efforts to please Him is what I want.
~•~

📖 Jabir RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, shaytan places his throne over the water and he sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations. One of them says: 'I have done this and this.' shaytan says: 'you have done nothing.' Another one says: 'I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.' shaytan embraces him and he says: 'you have done well!'"
