The Second Day of Marriage (part 1)

 The alarm goes off for morning prayer
A stranger next to me, sleeping right there
Who is this, sharing my bed!?
Oh yes, that's right last night we wed

She's not heard the alarm, shall I wake her?
It feels like we should pray together
Do I call her name or give her a shake
anxious of the wrong decision I'll make

I call her softly, don't want to startle
To my surprise. she starts to giggle
"I wanted to see what you would do"
She's so beautiful, then love is true

We quickly bathed & prayed as one
Noticing that my nerves have gone
Starting things off in the right way
Let's make the most of our first full day

Salman Al-Farsi (radiAllahu anhu)

Of Persian nobility, a beloved son My father being a devotee Zoroastrian I heard the call to follow true deen  I escaped from this city, for I was so keen I spent decades travelling from land to land Searching for scholars who had the true brand Christianity was dying, not many were left The plan of Allah is so beautifully deft From the Arabs a prophet shall make waves I headed down south but was made a slave Found myself in Yathrib, owned by the Jews Years in this state but then there was news A man declared a prophet was on his way Fleeing from Makkah, he’ll be here any day I knew the signs & put the prophet ﷺ to the test His call was true, shall I tell you the rest?
