A LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE

A LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE Met or seen, I don't know. Either I have been with you for once or not, I am unaware. But, I believe one day we shall meet, gaze at each other with a feeling that won't permit legs to take a pace backwards but a pace forwards to hit the nail on the head. I admit, a day will be that we shall be bound together in an irresistable feeling that will be hard to feign and fairly simple to consider. Before we know, consent has been sought and approval has been granted. That will give us a pure certification to own each other and steer our affairs. Believe it, real love is not what can be totally expressed via mouth but what defies every description of art. Her full definition and enslavement are in heart while the reflection of such feeling is manifested through action. To love is an irresistible sickness which sometimes ties memory down and makes body chill for having no one to share it with. No medicine has its relief unless the object of love is accessed. The best antidote is to walk your loved-one down the aisle. The prescribed fasting for the single can not even wipe away the feeling; it only avoids body from been hurried to pluck an unripe fruit which its intake will surely outbreak a heart disease, fornication. If a pious being living an ascetic life doesn't love, my Prophet is a right person to shun love. If it is forbidden, my Creator will be in the best position to abrogate that. Love is an happiness of soul that everybody wishes and in marriage( Nikkah) she finds a sacred camp. It is an enslavement and entanglement which everybody dare not to be freed from. It is a passion and an obsession that tie two different souls together. Falling in love is a natural phenomenon and making pretence is an abnormality and attack. Dear Future Wife, know that you're a natural blessing as far as your are found a righteous wife. You're an half of Deen for the fact you're up to the task. The Prophet(S.A.W.) says: "If Allah has blessed any of you with a good wife, He has helped him with half of his religion..." A righteous wife is not featured with a pretty face, spotless skin,endering voice, seductive dress or dizzying gait. She is always found devoutly obedient and submissive to voice of her husband and his silence. She is a guard to her honour and dignity, and husband property. Understand Prophet's description of a best wife. A best wife is one who pleases her husband when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives command, and does not go against his wishes. Dearie me, you are not a partner in joy and a disaster in sorrow. Nikkah is Sunnah and that is why I think of performing it. It is an obedience to Allah that says: " Marry women of your choice" that is why I want you to be a best choice. Marriage is for better and worst not in better I stay and in worst I take a leave. Dear Future Angel, if obedience to my words is left out of your deeds, I mean it, your paradise is at stake. My pleasure over you is a required signature on your clearance slip for Paradise. "If a woman dies while her husband was pleased with her, she will enter Paradise." The Prophet said(S.A.W.). Love me, love my dog is a saying compelling you to accept me, everyone 'n' everything around me. That mother, father, brothers, sisters and other relatives of mine and part of what you marry. From them I raise and from their Kobo and Naira, I survive. Half of Deen, If you want someone with Camry, forget it! I have not gotten jalopy. If you wish a man with Land Rover, spit it! I have not bought a plot of land let alone Land Rover. If you like to be married into a well furnished flat, have patience, only a room I have an access to in my father's house. To us, a wonderful future beckons. Tomorrow is coming with a better offer. There is no need to flatter. Just try to be a good wife who has no concern with dosh. "Life is a pleasure and the best of its pleasure is a good wife." Take note, if there is ability; physically and financially to perform the tradition of marrying more than one, I will surely do. The equation on ground needs to be balanced. Scare not, equity will be maintained as human being can do. Oh! Have I mentioned polygny now? Sorry, it was just a slip of tongue. Let me just start somewhere. Thanks in anticipation of my lawful proposal. Your Loving Future Husband, Olalekan. ©Abdulwasii Olalekan
