Poem: To Every Muslim Husband - Avoid Mistreating Your Wife/Wives

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

🗒️ To every Muslim male whom Allah granted a wife, 
Or whom Allah allowed to marry several times 
So this guy is tested with two, or three, or four wives, 
And whether he's blessed with many kids or just one child, 
Or being sterile is one of his trials in life:
~•~
If you truly love Allah and fear Him the Most Wise, 
You'd try your best to stay kind and fair with your dear wife, 
You'd be careful with your choice of words, avoid all lies, 
While you'd never oppress her due to ego and pride.
Your hurt emotions shouldn't make you neglect her rights.
~•~
Now if Allah tests you with loving more than one wife, 
And sincerely you aspire to pass all tests in life, 
Then strive, with manly humility, desire to thrive
In both worlds, and courage to do what you hope is right, 
To treat your wives fairly regarding expense and time.
~•~
You become more masculine when you defeat foul pride 
And refuse to overreact when problems arise. 
You're an overgrown bully if you let women cry, 
And you're not a real man if you wait for your wife/wives 
To always apologize when you argue sometimes.
~•~
You're more of a coward if you act like a spoiled child 
Expecting your wife to be "perfect" each day and night, 
Refusing to give those under your care their due rights 
When they commit something which your immense pride dislikes. 
Don't doubt Allah's Power to answer oppressed wives' cries.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I enjoin you to treat women well, for the woman was created from a rib and the most curved part of the rib is its highest point. If you try to straighten it, you will break it. If you leave it as it is, it will remain bent. Thus, I enjoin you to be good to the women."

The leader of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's home and his children, and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock."
