๐ Dear husband, if at times you think "What's in it for me?
What do I gain from staying married for many years
To one who's not impressive in her spousal duties,
Who's busy when I'm free, and when she's free I'm busy,
And she never complains if I've been gone for some weeks?"
~•~
Dear husband, the man whom Allah the Most Kind wisely
Chose for me as my soulmate, other half and hubby,
Seven benefits of staying married patiently,
To me, one of your female cousins and first wifey:
One: I love you for Allah's sake, truly, sincerely,
~•~
And by loving you for Allah, my faith has increased.
Two: I'm not a gold-digger. Your job and your money
Are not what I'm after. I wish we'll together reach
Jannatul Ferdaus for striving to pass eagerly
Allah's tests in this world which were all temporary.
~•~
Three: I'm the type of wife who welcomes polygyny.
Even if it seemed you like a co-wife more than me,
I'd still love you for Allah's sake with fierce loyalty.
Four: Alhamdulillah, I can very easily
Talk and write about you through Du'as and poetry.
~•~
Five: If ever you got in trouble, I'd readily
Defend you if I could like an earnest attorney.
And if I were richer, more stable financially,
I'd spend on you more, on your behalf do charity,
And take part in paying your children's tuition fees.
~•~
Six: Although I may not be perceived as visibly
Appealing with hourglass figure, not fully "ideal",
I find you handsome, and you're charismatic, to me.
I can promise by Allah, on you I'd never cheat,
And while I'm loyal, I'm okay with polygyny.
~•~
Seven: Nearly day and night I mention lovingly
Your name in a lot of prayers and before I sleep.
Even if you were employed in another country,
And even if we saw each other just once a year,
I'd still love you for Allah's sake with fierce loyalty.
~•~
So don't divorce me, dear husband; don't divorce me please.
If ever you feel bored, add another, don't delete,
Since I believe that divorce brings more stress, misery
And the sort of regret which greets you recurrently.
And to see you sad is something that would sadden me.
~•~

๐ 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. 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!'"
