Dedicated To My Beloved Husband





Dearest…
Perhaps sometimes you might think that you had made a blunder choosing me as your life partner. And this may disturb your daily interaction with me. At times I fear your love will change to detest, your patience will change to anger and that the peaceful situation will fade away.

Dearest…
Perhaps when life goes on to its hectic phase and you find yourself occupied with too much work, you might just not have enough time for me. And times which you should spend with me may get lost. I will sincerely give everything I can to make your life beautiful. But isn’t it fair that I too need your attention? I will look for this attention, but… I fear it might seem unfair and incorrect in your eyes. So please forgive me and give a smile to me.

And in that case, I hope you would appreciate me for my other goodness. Did not Allah who had joined us in marriage and who put love between our hearts say in the Noble Qur’an "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse. And live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it a great deal of good." [QS An-Nisa:19]

And also Rasulullah’s saying, "The believers who show the most perfect faith are those who have the best disposition and the best of you are those who are best to their wives." (Tirmidhi)

If you see any fault on my part, remember his (peace be upon him) message to us, “ A mukmin (male believers) should not hate mukminah (female believers), if he doesn’t like something from her action there must be other act that he loves”.

My husband…
You should know there are no human beings who are infallible, only Allah the Most Beautiful is Perfect. It’s not right for you or for me to simply take each others mistakes and weaknesses only into account, while leaving ours aside. I will try to be a loyal partner and always listen to you, but I hope u forgive and forget when I err.

You also should know that Woman was made from the rib of man, she was not created from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be stepped upon. She was made from his side to be close to him, from beneath his arm to be protected by him, near his heart to be loved by him.

I have left my parents and my lovely siblings to be with you. I want you to fill my empty heart with love. Shower me with your love. I will not doubt whom I choose as my life partner. I will admire your taqwa everyday and your taqwa will always make u look the best man for me. I remember a story of the companion of Rasulullah (salallahu’alahi wasalam), Ali Bin Abi Tholib (radiallahuanhu) when asked by a person “I have a daughter, to whom should she be married to?” Ali ra. answered “ She should marry a man who has taqwa in his heart, if this man loves her, he will glory her, but if he doesn’t love her, he will never hurt her.” I hope you are this person.

Perhaps one day we face a dilemma because of my mistakes, at this time you may wish for a better wife. Please be conscious, that selfishness and being inconsiderate can control you in the wrong manner. Please correct my faults with your delicateness and understanding, don’t be harsh towards me because Rasulullah shallalahu’alahi wa sallam was never harsh towards his wives.

My dearest…
Do you know the reward from Allah that you will get in akhirah (hereafter)? Do you know the reward for husbands who act equitable toward their wives? See with your eyes, heart and understand this saying: “They who are equitable, the day of qiyamah will get throne made by the light. They are equitable people, when chastising are equitable towards their wives and people who are their responsibility.”[HR. Muslim]. I pray in order that you are one of them, and I will be your queen in your beautiful palace. I am trying to be the Best Treasure for you both in Dunya and Akhira.

If you have time, teach me with knowledge, which Allah has blessed you with. If you have no time, allow me to obtain knowledge of Islam through other means. However, I will not forget my responsibility as a wife, so that later I can be a teacher for your sons and daughters. Isn’t a mother the first teacher for her sons and daughters? I wish we would teach our sons and daughters together so that they are the flag bearers of Islam and be among the muttaqin. I want to be a pious woman who brings my family to Jannah.

Oh… My Allah The King Who has no Partner!
You are the Witness to this relationship… I had fallen in love with my life partner, make this love toward him increase my strength to Love You. But I also pray that my love towards him should not exceed the love towards You. Make this Love a meaningful one. Protect my heart so that I never forget You. Make his love for me not exceed the love he has for You and make him a martyr in Your cause. Make his love and desire towards me, never forget Your paradise. If my love towards him ever makes me forget You, remind me and guide me…don’t make me one of the losers.

Oh My Allah
You have recognized that our hearts are compatible and that we can love each other. Make us obedient slaves of Yours. Make us both defend Your Shari’ah together. Make this relationship become Strong. Make this Love eternal. Guide us to the straight path. Fill our hearts with Your guiding Light that never extinguishes. Expand our hearts with Eeman and make it beautiful with resignation in Your path. Amin Ya Rabbal ‘alamin.


Your Wife
