Poem: Loving My Dear Husband For Allah's Sake Enables Me To Wait Patiently

๐Ÿ’ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

๐Ÿ’Œ Love letter from each wife to her spouse, who can relate 
And she knows what it's like to not see him on some days, 
Whether she's a co-wife or her man works far away, 
Or his heavy workload causes his frequent delays: 
"Dear husband, my dear friend, whom I love for Allah's sake... 
~•~
If every time my mouth moved to mention your sweet name 
While saying Du'a a flower would bloom, night or day, 
I'd be surrounded by gardens, petals and bouquets, 
Picturing the pollens affirming my love ain't fake 
As tears, while supplicating, often stream down my face.
~•~
Though I can't hear your voice each night and day, I can state 
And confess I don't get bored of pronouncing your name 
When I talk to Allah about you and when I pray 
Without you nearby yet with my escalating faith. 
Loving you for Allah brings more inner strength than aches.
~•~
If I could take control of how we communicate
And if between us there were no barriers nor breaks, 
No outsiders to disrupt our convos, no constraints, 
I'd speak with you longer, to your words I'd closely pay 
Attention, and take lessons from stories you narrate.
~•~
Then again this life's a test. Accept what Allah gave - 
A special love story in which spouses can't always
Stay together physically but still they can pray 
For each other frequently till they reach Jannah's Gates. 
Loving you for Allah alleviates every wait."

๐Ÿ“– Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I were to order anyone to prostrate to another, I would have ordered a wife to prostrate before her husband."

Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to At-Tirmidhi
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."
