๐ If some were to ask me "Exactly how do you know
That Allah the Almighty has upon you bestowed
And gave you a good spouse whose love inspires you to grow
Spiritually in both ways obvious and not yet shown?"
That I married a good man - I'll tell you how I know:
~•~
I know that Allah the Most Wise has indeed blessed me
With a good man as my soulmate as he frequently
Strives to worship Allah and very regularly
Prays in the Masjid, tries his best to meet all my needs,
And he's an expert at making me laugh easily.
~•~
Yes, that's one way I determine that my dear hubby
Is one of Allah's gifts as my spouse successfully
Makes me smile and giggle even if most may perceive
Him as "corny". He's perfect, cute and funny to me.
My zawj is a remedy when stress and sorrow greet.
~•~
For sure I believe that Allah the Most Wise bestowed
Upon me a good spouse because from within I know
That loving him for Allah's sake has helped my faith grow.
With him I've learned to be more patient, without remorse,
And through our marriage I prefer Jannah, not this world.

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."
