💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 According to some, "If a guy truly loves his wife,
He'd be satisfied she's 'the only one' in his life.
He won't remarry nor look at other women's eyes.
A man who remarries signals he's unsatisfied."
~•~
Most are terrified of polygyny, unlike me.
I side with the few who don't clone the majority,
Oppose lame love stories that breed from greed and envy,
And I'm with those who serve Allah, not society.
~•~
As Allah's servant, I believe Muslim men have rights
To be lawfully married to up to four good wives,
To raise righteous kids and increase their family size,
While training one another to discard vile desires.
~•~
Most women are prone to selfishness and jealousy.
Wives in polygynous marriages love patiently,
Survive strong, spending their whole lives for Allah Only,
And they keep loving their husbands with fierce loyalty.
~•~
That's what true love is - it stays the same or can't decline,
Whether you're your husband's first, second, third or fourth wife.
So long as he tries his best to be fair with his wives,
It's his right to remarry, your role not to deny.
~•~
Be that wife who when her man behaves romantically
With his other wives, her love for him doesn't decrease.
Her co-wives don't threaten her but push her to compete
In pleasing Allah and accepting His Destiny.
~•~
Let others guess we have an "unhappy marriage life";
We're not the ones deceived by ignorance day and night.
Alhamdulillah. Strive to join those whom Allah guides
And blesses their marriage so it leads to Paradise.
~•~

Poem: Meaningful Silence With Dhikr Is Better Than Meaningless Chatting
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 When asked why you're quiet, like your silence is a crime,
When some take your silent mode as a sign you're unkind,
Or they assume you're a snob while they're not worth your time,
Let them know, yes you can speak, but only when it's right -
To guide, teach, defend, rectify, remind, and advise.
~•~
Don't be from those who spread rumors, tell lies and backbite.
Don't disgrace yourself by having others' flaws described
Nor collect people's sins by dissing them from behind.
In gaining Allah's Love let your voice be utilized,
And beautify your speech with Dhikr and kind advice.
~•~
Have a mindset of knowing you can chat day and night
About different topics with whoever you liked,
But you hold back and get quiet around the wrong types
Who chill with you to gossip, betray or criticize.
Careful not to confide in the jealous and unwise.
~•~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak goodness or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest."
In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, “Let him not harm his neighbor.”
And in another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Let him uphold family ties.”

Poem: Avoid Toxic People Who Lie And Gossip
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some people don't talk to strangers. I don't talk to snakes,
Two-faced gossipmongers who play emotional games,
Who mess around with your goals, get your energy drained,
Who gossip about others and who threaten your faith.
~•~
With these toxic species, we only deteriorate
And gain no value from their presence nor what they say.
Lies and passive-aggressive slurs are nonsense they state.
If they backbite, they likely diss us when we're away.
~•~
We're better off without foes dressed as "friends" who are fake,
Who use us for their selfish gains, lie, manipulate,
Scrutinize our lives to count flaws and mock our mistakes,
And when we thrive or evolve they got nothing to say.
~•~
So long as we have Allah guiding us night and day,
While solitude is sweet chance to reflect, read and pray,
And avoiding toxic people keeps our Imaan safe,
We can never feel incomplete, lonely and dismayed.
~•~
Spending time with Allah is worthier than with fakes
Who are glued to dunya or who are glad they're astray.
Through contentment with Allah's Love, inner peace is gained.
Our good deeds, not people's praise, are what will surely stay.
~•~

Poem: From The Signs Of Pious Wives Is They Have Patience In Polygyny
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 My respect goes to each wife who accepts Allah's Will,
Who strives for Allah and whose love for her spouse stays real.
Though in polygyny, her loyalty moves uphill,
Despite her man remarrying, she remains fulfilled.
Why fret when that's his right, and this is what Allah willed?
~•~
Glad tidings and kudos to tough wives who don't question
Nor display disappointment with what Allah destined.
Their acceptance of their husbands marrying again
Is evidence they have trust in Allah, inner strength,
Rich understanding of Islam, wisdom, and patience.
~•~
Amazing how those wives in polygynous marriage
Keep loving for Allah, so they're never discouraged.
Though there are moments when they're prone to feeling jealous,
They overcome their nafs, refuse to be defeated,
And subdue evil thoughts with admirable courage.
~•~
Not slaves to unstable feelings nor society,
These wives submit to Allah's Decree so patiently,
Enlightened to see the beauty in polygyny -
Raising righteous families that value unity,
Training queens to conquer prideful ego and envy.
~•~
Yes, polygyny is scorned by the majority,
And most ladies become territorial naturally,
But souls who compete for Allah level up their speed
In attaining piety and doing more good deeds.
Their greater love for Allah helps their marriage succeed.

Note: No Such Thing As Believing In Horoscopes And Zodiac Signs In Islam
💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Checking your "daily horoscope", evaluating if you and another person are compatible based on your zodiac signs, and believing that the stars or galaxies have significant impact on our lives, attitude, and temperament are from shaytan's means of deception which could disturb a Muslim's belief/'Aqeedah.
The problem with some individuals relying on horoscopes and astrological star signs, even if they're just curious, is that believing in astrology indirectly shows their acknowledgement that Allah's creation from the cosmos have the so-called power to control people's affairs, or astrologers can predict the future when Allah the Most Wise is the Only One Who knows everything that occurs and will occur in the universe designed by Him Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.
If you're interested in self-discovery and wish to understand more about yourself in a way that isn't haraam/forbidden, you can refer to the MBTI personality type indicator which doesn't deal with issues that could gradually lead to shirk. Rather than identifying yourself as a bossy "Leo", stubborn "Taurus", talkative "Sagittarian", playful "Gemini", organized "Virgo", passionate "Pisces", or aggressive "Aries", you identify with being either an introvert or extrovert, and one who forms decisions according to logic or emotions etc.

Whoever said we have been given rain due to the favor and Mercy of Allah, he is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. Whoever said we have been given rain due to the rising of this star, he has disbelieved in Me and has put his faith in the stars."”
