๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ As one of the servants of Allah the Almighty,
As the first wife of my one and only dear hubby,
As a grateful Muslimah fine with polygyny,
And on behalf of brave Muslim wives who sincerely
Believe that responsible men with financial means
And intelligence have every right to be married
To up to four wives, I confidently confirm these:
~•~
Yes, I love my husband for Allah's sake patiently,
I love him more than my ego, not for his money;
I love him more each time I witness a clear increase
And improvement in his faith/Imaan and piety;
I love him more as he inspires me indirectly
To say more Du'a when I miss him regularly,
And when he moves me to boost my personality.
~•~
Because I love him for Allah more than luxury,
More than titles, credentials and cars that are fancy,
More than the urge to form smart comebacks if ever he
Does things which supposedly upsets or offends me,
I'm absolutely fine if he wants to remarry,
For our family's growth with Allah's Will and Mercy,
And to see my soulmate pleased as his smiles bring me peace.
~•~
I don't oppose polygyny since undoubtedly
Allah the Most Wise legislated the male species
From among humankind and Muslim communities
To be wed to at most four wives, not to be greedy
Sexually, but for the welfare of humanity,
To help more adult females become wives legally,
And to lessen the number of broken families.
~•~
By welcoming polygyny for Allah, I seek
To prove that my need for Allah outweighs what I feel,
To show that my satisfaction with my spouse is real
Despite him being busy and absent frequently,
And to frustrate shaytan our worst enemy who seeks
To weaken the Muslim nations through disunity.
Loathing polygyny is done by the proud and weak.

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."
