Poem: Why I Believe That My Husband Is Handsome While Not All May Agree

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 
💌 If you ask me, "So what is it? What makes him handsome, 
Your husband, the man whom Allah has wisely chosen 
As your soulmate, travel partner to Jannah Heaven, 
And special friend with whom you have a lot in common? 
What makes him attractive really in your opinion?"
~•~
I'd say: Yes he's handsome; my husband is good-looking 
And appealing in a way not clear to everyone. 
He's like a wooden treasure chest filled with diamonds
And tons of emerald gems which worms and elephants 
Would perceive as "plain", "pointless" or "uninteresting", 
~•~
While he's valuable to me - my husband is handsome 
Since he's a gift to me from Allah the Most Loving.
I've witnessed countless times my handsome spouse has proven 
To be caring, busy, productive and hard-working. 
Though not very athletic, he's got my attention. 
~•~
His efforts to serve Allah, his sincere intention
To save up to perform Hajj with his hard-earned income, 
His charisma with children, patience with his patients, 
And his eagerness to become a better Muslim 
Are from my reasons for regarding him as handsome.
~•~
To me, he's more handsome than the "hottest pop icons" 
And him having a pure heart is much more important 
Than staying in shape and pampering his appearance. 
I'm grateful to Allah for granting me my husband, 
My handsome husband who taught me about contentment.
