Solemn Covenant

Nikah is a union;
of two antithetic souls,
and two variant minds,
in the pursuit
of building
a hearty Home.

At times,
storm will frighten
with its barbarous sounds
and skies will tear up
with its downpour;
but the two souls
will keep knotting
as the two hearts
are intertwining
creating a single root
robust as the mountain.

The Home will
perpetually standing;
amidst the
ferocious storm,
and the two lovebirds
will keep tweeting
praising the Lord
of everything;
because the union
they are embarking,
is a sacred bond
epitomized as
the 'Solemn Covenant'

 [وَأَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا]
'they have taken a solemn Covenant from you'

Sura An-Nisa', Ayah 21

No love between two souls is greater than what is between the spouses.
Ibn Kathīr (rahimahullaah)
