Poem: What Is Love? "True Love" - What's Its Definition?

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 Ever asked yourself these questions "why do you love him? 
What is it that keeps you attracted to your husband? 
Do you love your spouse for being blessed with cute children, 
Or was your affection formed since you found him handsome? 
Do you love him for his wealth, jokes or social standing? 
~•~
What motivates you to stay loyal to your husband 
When there are other men who are wealthier than him, 
More prestigious and successful in their profession, 
Or more good-looking so he holds your full attention?
Why still respect your spouse despite frequent arguments?
~•~
What is love to you? True love - what's your definition?" 
What is love? Well, from my experience, understanding, 
And opinion, true love comes with sincere intention. 
It's when you accept the man whom Allah has chosen
As your soulmate and this bond leads to Jannah's entrance.
~•~
Love isn't "Do this for me and I'll do the same thing." 
Nor "Always be nearby if your care is genuine.", 
But true love is the one that's felt for Allah our King. 
It's learning to love the man whom Allah has chosen, 
And this love trains you to be more kind, brave and patient. 
~•~
Love inspires you to pardon your husband's shortcomings, 
To practice Shukr when he's present and sweet patience 
Or Sabr in his absence and when he's mistaken. 
Love for Allah's sake reminds you your spouse is human 
And in Jannah you can enjoy his flawless version. 
~•~
You can tell that loving your husband is a blessing
When this love strengthens your faith Imaan as a Muslim,  
When you're inspired to say Du'a each time you miss him, 
And his keenness to remarry isn't a problem. 
Love is when you won't let pride disrupt a connection.

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, (Sujood) prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."
