Poem: What True Love Is And What Love Isn't

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 True love, from my perspective, is felt for Allah's sake. 
It's to be contented with the man whom Allah gave 
As one's spouse, travel buddy to Jannah's lofty gates, 
And friend with whom one's secrets in most cases stay safe. 
Love doesn't need to be "give and take" each night and day. 
~•~
Love ain't "Do this for me; I'll do exactly the same." 
Or "Be what I expect you to be, do what I say,
And don't talk to females besides me or you shall pay.". 
True love is devoid of threats, precisely equal weights, 
And scrutiny of every word which one's soulmate states."
~•~
Love isn't "If your love is real, put it on display, 
Upload photos of us both enjoying fancy dates, 
And sweet feelings for each other frequently proclaim.". 
Love can be quiet, proven when your dear husband prays 
For you while you likewise lovingly mention his name.
~•~
Love doesn't cause you to be arrogant or ashamed.
When your husband errs, you quickly forgive his mistakes, 
Aware that he's human. For his progress you can wait. 
Genuine love, in my opinion, strengthens your faith 
And inspires you to love Allah much more than His slaves.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "A woman is married for four things, i.e. her wealth, her family status, her beauty, and her religion. So you should marry the religious (righteous Muslimah) woman (otherwise) you will be a loser." 
Sahih Al-Bukhari 5090

📖 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 (mischief, trouble). 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!'"
