Poem: My Message To Those Who Glorify Divorce

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 My comebacks to females who want divorce glorified, 
And message to divorcees who often post online 
Misleading "advice" to Muslim couples to despise 
One's spouse if staying married can't keep one satisfied - 
To those who won't solve problems but flee and cry "goodbye": 
~•~
What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten the reason why 
You approved that guy's proposal once upon a time? 
Did you marry him for Allah or did you desire 
More joys which not every human can always provide? 
Mistakes can sometimes be made by humans and AI.
~•~
You claiming that "divorce is 'ibaadah" is unwise 
If the man you abandoned tries his best day and night 
To be a better Muslim and spouse to his wife/wives, 
Eager to earn halal income so his fam can thrive 
And you decide to ditch him due to kibr / foul pride.
~•~
Please, your husband is not "toxic" if once in a while 
He answers you grumpily whenever he gets tired 
Or if he disappoints you when he from time to time 
Forgets, misinterprets or doesn't know all your likes 
And dislikes, because he's a human like you, all right.
~•~
Glorifying divorce is like showing strange delight 
When competing athletes give up before they arrive 
At the finish line as they were too preoccupied 
With wanting better footwear or fighting pesky flies. 
You're a loser if you romanticize kibr/pride.
~•~
What? You never loved your former spouse enough to try 
To reconcile, find ways to ensure your love survives 
Much longer, with patience, than cobwebs, nests and beehives, 
And to empathize with him, stay firm when criticized, 
And recall his gifts so his good traits are magnified?
~•~
A marriage is not "loveless" or "toxic", please don't lie, 
If the spouses debate and disagree oftentimes. 
It's fine if some loved ones and true friends argue sometimes. 
If there were no quarrels, no one could apologize, 
No one would have the chance to forgive and reunite.
~•~ 
Marriages free from arguments could also imply 
The couples are robots devoid of feelings and spice, 
Or they're actors constantly acting with contrived smiles.
Divorce mostly adds stress and remorse; it's not designed 
For those whose love for Allah's sake is larger than pride.

📖 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 (mischief, trouble). 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!'"
