Bismillah hir Rahamn nir Rahim
As salaamu alaykum wa rahmantullahi wa barakatuhu
Here are two beautiful poems written by my dear ukhti that I wanted to share with you all...
**************************************************************************
The Righteous Husband
How can i describe thee.......
The man that is so kind and
gentle with me
I am so grateful to Allah for you.
How you strive to provide for me
and your children too.
I know that you responsibilities are not easy.
But because of your Rabb you seek to please me.
Teaching your family, helping me out around our
home or taking the children for the day.
And still leaving for the masjid when its time
to pray.
Thank you for not belittling my advice because,
I am a woman and "you the man." Thank you for
making istakarah before proceeding with a plan.
Wanting the best for your family in this life and
the next. So you stick with Ahlus Sunnah and that
which is in the text.
Pants above your ankles, thoub crisp and white.
Seeking your Lord forgiveness so you stand up in
the third part of the night.
Oh my righteous husband how can I describe thee...
The man that is firm but yet gentle towards me.
By: Umm Zubair/Umm Zaynab Rafeeqah bint Kilgore

Polygamy by Umm Zaynab
Polygamy, hmm tell me my sister, what is the big deal
Your husband, my husband can have up to four wives if Allaah may will.
Explain to him why are you stressing as though all the responsibilities are on you.
Fast Ramadan, guard your salah, obey your husband and do what you do.
We as women are not like the men. We take our husbands to be our best and closest friend
But Allah did not create the men like the women.
Take two, three or four so don't blame him sister if he want more.
Why make haram for him what Allah has made halal.
You deny him of this, then have the courage to stand before him looking all wild.
Polygamy is something that is easier said than done. On the brother's part and on the sister's part.
But don't worry about who he loves more in his heart.
This matter is with Allaah, so strive to please your Lord.
Your destination is the Jannah, this dunya is just room and board.
Sister please don't worry yourself with "what are they doing". You continue to do what you do.
Have your stuff planned out, laid out and be beautified for the time that he spends with you.
Yes I understand polygamy can be very hard on the first wife.
And for some of us it cuts worst than the sharpest knife.
But what about your new co-wife? Who don't know your husband like you do.
So, it has to be scary for her too.
Sure, go ahead explain to her how he like his meat cooked.
And she will share with you her favorite cookbook .
Remember you are striving for the Jannah, not only for the love of this man,
If he is your ultimate goal, then my sister you have the wrong game plan.
This deen is good advice and this is mine to you.
Don't worry about what they are doing,
just handle yours when it's time for him to be with you.

Bismillah wa salaatu wa salaamu ala arasoolillah wa ala alihe wa ashabihe ajma'een:
It is encouraging to see that there are women whom do appreciate the efforts of the good men of this ummah. Marriage is definitely from the tremendous ni'aam(favors, support, kindness)of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I hope that the things expressed in these poems is a sentiment that becomes widespread, insha Allah Tabarak wa Ta'ala. May Allaah grant us and our women taufiqh in this and all matters that please Him, Ameen. May Allah open the doors of al-jannah for the women whom strive to please their husbands and the men who do the things to make that an easy task, ameen. Our sister fillah did a nice job in expressing the beauty of these aspects of the deen, walhamdulillah fee kulli shay. Barakallah feeha
Subhanaka Allahumma wa Bihamdika wa Ashahadu an La Ilaha Ilah Anta wastaghfirooka wa Atoobu Elayke.
