This ain’t a love song 
This is a live song 

Woman, u my equal, my wife 
We be tight like 
2 perfectly matching calligraphy lines 

We don’t wanna build our house of earth, water and stone 
But of wisdom, pure intentions, conversation 
Compassionate action, with purity of heart 
We might get somewhere, become light 
Fast and burn like a candle, right 
Intertwine, u give me peace of mind 
I cloak u and u cloak me 
Responsible I feel with honesty 
Between us God has put affection and mercy 
Praised be He who created u 
Cuz all I see in u is beautiful 

Woman, u my equal, my wife 
We be tight like 
2 perfectly matching calligraphy lines 
What drew us together 
Doesn’t conform to the laws of nature 
It is written 
There is only One opener for the lock of these things 

Amor mío 
Te adora como a la más bella estrella fugaz en el cielo 
Y cuando me siento sólo, sé que tú me entiendes 
Sé que me comprendes 
Sueño apoyarme en tu sonrisa 
Toma mi mano y ven de prisa 
Siempre me imagino Viejo y arrugado 
Mis hijos ya crecidos mis nietos a mi lado 
Y la luz de luna a revelado 
Que tu palpitar es por mi, que siempre a sido asi 
He practicado que decir muchas veces 
Y cuando Dios lo quiera estaremos frente a frente 
Será el momento de embrujarte 
Ojalá que en tus ojos me retrates 
Que aceptes mi pasado, que mis locuras yo no pague 
Yo te prometere mi vida 
Aunque la muerte nos separe 

Translation: 
[My dearest 
I adore you like the most beautiful shooting star in the sky 
And when I feel alone I know that you understand me 
I know that you comprehend me 
I’m looking for comfort in your smile 
Let’s hurry, follow me 
‘Cuz I’ve always seen myself old and aged 
My children grown up, grandchildren by my side 
And the moonlight has revealed 
That your heart beats for me 
And it has always been like that 
I’ve practised what to say many times 
When God is willing 
We’ll stand face to face 
That will be the moment to put a spell on you 
If only I could slide into your eyes 
If only you would see through the past 
If only I don’t have to pay for my peculiarities 
I’ll dedicate my life to you 
Even after death will separate us] 

Woman, u my equal, my wife 
We be tight like

What drew us together

Most definitely in our luv are signs of knowledge 
Every dime I spend on u 
Is worth more than what I spend on the poor 
See patience is the best key to happiness 
Continuous, satisfaction, pearls wanna be like u 
Intertwine, u are my Sakeena 
U protect me and I protect u 
Scientifically we be deeper than Al-kindi 
Between us God has put affection and mercy 
This ain’t a luv song 
This is a life song 

We going 6 years strong 
With no sign of REGRET 
With each year we gain in force with ups and downs of course 
Yeah my wife is my cousin 
And thank God, Faizan my son was born without complications 
Hina my love to you is unconditional 
Not limited by typical Bollywood scenarios 
Or by statistics when problems occur we leave 
‘Cause I know t u´ll stay till I no longer will breathe 
Or if I’m crippled, blinded or anything else 
I know I can rely on u helping my every step 
Love is not just limited to butterflies and fun 
It’s to recognise and respect each others intellects 
Lots of regrets many things we shouldn’t have said and done 
But that’s just part of our journey and it’s just begun 
Define beauty ‘cause one day looks will fade 
But a beautiful mind still be young at an old age 
And I know it’s hard me being away for so long 
But I respect u so much for being so strong 
I remember U being pregnant going to school 
Cooking food taking care of my parents and the whole house 
All in one something a man could never do no doubt 
So I thank my mother for the day she brought us together 
And I pray for our reunion in the afterlife forever

&quot;Among His signs is (the fact) that He has created spouses for you from among yourselves so that you may console yourselves with them. He has planted love and mercy between you; in that are signs for people who reflect&quot; (30:21) 

This is a very important definition of the relationship between man and wife. They are expected to find tranquility in each other&#039;s company and by &quot;love and mercy&quot;. Such a description comprises mutual care, consideration, respect and affection. 
Faith: The love Muslim spouses have for each other is for the sake of Allah that is to gain His pleasure. It is from Allah that we claim our mutual rights (Quran 4:1) and it is to Allah that we are accountable for our behavior as husbands and wives. 

It sustains: Love is not to consume but to sustain. Allah expresses His love for us by providing sustenance. To love in Islam is to sustain our loved one physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, to the best of our ability (to sustain materially is the husbands duty, however if the wife wishes she can also contribute) 

Accepts: To love someone is to accept them for who they are. It is selfishness to try and mould someone as we wish them to be. True love does not attempt to crush individuality or control personal differences, but is magnanimous and secure to accommodate differences. 

Challenges: Love challenges us to be all we can, it encourages us to tap into our talents and takes pride in our achievements. To enable our loved one to realize their potential is the most rewarding experience. 

Merciful: Mercy compels us to love and love compels us to have mercy. In the Islamic context the two are synonymous. The attribute Allah chose to be the supreme for Himself is that He is the most Merciful. This attribute of Rehman (the Merciful) is mentioned 170 times in the Quran, bringing home the significance for believers to be merciful. Mercy in practical application means to have and show compassion and to be charitable. 

Forgiving: Love is never too proud to seek forgiveness or too stingy to forgive. It is willing to let go of hurt and letdowns. Forgiveness allows us the opportunity to improve and correct our selves. 

Respect: To love is to respect and value the person their contributions and their opinions. Respect does not allow us to take for granted our loved ones or to ignore their input. How we interact with our spouses reflects whether we respect them or not. 

Confidentiality: Trust is the most essential ingredient of love. When trust is betrayed and confidentiality compromised, love loses its soul. 

Caring: Love fosters a deep fondness that dictates caring and sharing in all that we do. The needs of our loved ones take precedence over our own. 

Kindness: The Seerah (biography) of our beloved Prophet is rich with examples of acts of kindness, he showed towards his family and particularly his wives. Even when his patience was tried, he was never unkind in word or deed. To love is to be kind. 

Grows: Marital love is not static it grows and flourishes with each day of marital life. It requires work and commitment, and is nourished through faith when we are thankful and appreciative of Allah blessings. 

Enhances: Love enhances our image and beautifies our world. It provides emotional security and physical well being. 

Selflessness: Love gives unconditionally and protects dutifully. 

Truthful: Love is honesty without cruelty and loyalty without compromise. 


&quot;- How big is the universe? 
-- Infinite. 
- How do you know? 
-- I know because all the data indicates it&#039;s infinite. 
- But it hasn&#039;t been proven yet. 
-- No. - You haven&#039;t seen it. 
--No. - How do you know for sure? 
-- I don&#039;t, I just believe it. 
- It&#039;s the same with love I guess.”

Woman was made from the rib of man, 
She was not created from his head to top him, 
Nor form 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. 

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: 
“Treat women kindly. Woman has been created from a rib and the most bent part of the rib is the uppermost. If you try to turn it straight, you will break it. And if you leave it alone, it will remain bent as it is. So treat women kindly.” 
(Bukhari and Muslim) 


THIS IS JUST GORGEOUS... GUESS THAT YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT SHE PROTECTS HIS HEART AS WELL... 
SUBHANAALLAH... BEAUTIFUL... 

THIS IS ALSO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO THINK about: 


+ UNITY =THROUGH= DIVERSITY + 

&quot;Take the example of a mirror to conceptualize how men and women can appear to be similar yet be so different. The psychological differences between men and women can be likened to the reflection in a mirror. When you look into the mirror, you see yourself. At least you think it is you. When you look a little closer you find that although the image looks like you, it is very different. Your mirror reflection is backward! Everything is turned around. The feminine psychology is a mirror reflection of the masculine psychology. In many ways, men and women are like reflections of each other : 
&quot;different but complementary &quot;.
