Poem: When A Loyal Wife Talks To Allah The Almighty About Her Dear Husband

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

💌 Dear Allah the Almighty Who controls everything,

Dear Allah the All-Knowing Who hears and sees all things,

Dear Allah the Most Loving You know that I love him -

The man whom You chose as my spouse for my well-being

And I've stayed loyal to him since our first engagement.

~•~

Dear Allah the Most Kind, I ask You for Your Guidance,

To guide me and my soulmate on our way to Heaven,

Praying that when we reach Jannah with Your Permission

That You Allah would let my spouse watch a recording

Of all the moments when my loyalty was proven -

~•~

...Like when non-mahram males would walk by, I'd avoid them,

Lowering my gaze, shunning prolonged conversations,

And delete non-mahram males from lists of "online friends",

And when some critics try to defame my dear husband,

I behave like his lawyer with enthusiasm,

~•~

Defending him for Allah's sake, finding solutions,

Sweetly mentioning him in frequent supplications,

While remaining loyal in his presence and absence.

And although many may find this strange or disturbing,

I gladly distance myself from souls who despise him.

~•~

Why should I trust someone who disrespects my husband

Whom I believe Allah gave as a gift and blessing?

Dear Allah, please destine that every time my husband

And I are mentioned badly by jealous opponents,

You Allah grant them our sins and enhance our patience.

~•~

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