Bismillahi wa salaatu wa salaamu ala arasoolullahi wa ala alihe wa ashabihe ajma'een, wa ba'ad:
As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
I figured I would follow up the poem "The Pious Wife" with the following poem that I entitled "The Righteous Husband". May Allaah allow us to be from amongst the best of this Ummah by making us the best to our wives and children, Aameen.
The Righteous Husband
by Abu Jameelah
He is a protector and like a lion when the need should arise,
Abusiveness and oppresion is not that upon which his manhood relies.
His words are kind, gentle, and soft upon her ear,
Yet clearly spoken and loud enough for her heart to hear.
He comes home to his wife with contentment and anticipation,
Being very attentive to her needs, endowing upon her total elation.
He fears his Lord, The Most Merciful and Sublime,
By being mindful and aware of how he provides her the time,
To have peace and relaxation of her soul, her body, and her mind.
He is the friend and companion the one whom she will always admire,
Protecting not only himself but also her from the fire.
He is the one who's hard to find all throughout the land,
The favor and blessing from her Lord, The Righteous Husband.
min 'abdillah:
