๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ While some wives around the world celebrate with extreme
Joy when they receive from the husband iPhone sixteen
Or whatever brand they got which costs loads of money,
I'm one of those wives who outwardly and inwardly
Express happiness when my dear spouse arrives safely
From Hajj or Umrah - or from a different country.
While most seek affluence, I desire my friend's safety.
~•~
I'd rather smile with contentment whenever I see
My beloved hubby spending his earnings wisely
Than to act like silly gold-diggers so greedily
Demanding my soulmate to spoil me financially,
Assuming I'm attached to dunya temporary
When that's not the case at all in actuality -
I want him to compete with me for Jannah's entry.
~•~
It's fine if the allowance he gives me frequently
Can't be perceived as "much" or "impressive" by many.
Alhamdulillah. It's sufficient as long as he
Strives to ensure his wealth isn't ribaa/usury
Nor stolen money. I guarantee his piety
Is much more important to me than material greed.
My husband's firm belief exceeds this world's luxuries.
~•~
My spouse is from Allah's blessings, I firmly believe,
As loving my husband for Allah the Almighty
Moved me to write a large portion of my poetry,
To rhyme creatively and enhance my loyalty.
Though my husband doesn't preach or teach, he lovingly
Inspires my patience for Allah, thus reminding me
To strive for Jannah where bliss is enjoyed perfectly.

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."
