After Break-Up, 

How to Know a Man?

After break-up, 
How to know a man? 
If he is chosen by Allah 
To be with me, 
If he is competent enough 
To be my husband, 
If he is kind and faithful 
To guide me and my kids 
On the way to Allah.

After break-up,

How to know a man? 
If he knows the meaning of marriage, 
Sakinah, Mawaddah, and Rahmah, 
To build a home full of love and tolerance, 
Not a house full of hate, abuse, and hypocrisy. 
Not that anymore. 
No more.

After break-up, 
How to know a man? 
If he is responsible and patient, 
Because I'm not like before, 
As I'm still suffering from mental, emotional, and physical abuse. 
If he can bear with my conditions and weaknesses, 
As I cannot be a full and normal wife like before. 
If he can bear with me 
in moments of stress and calm.

After break-up, 
How to know a man? 
If he truly loves me, 
If we are compatible 
In values and dreams, 
If we both can respect each other's boundaries, 
If we both can encourage each other to achieve more in life, 
If we both can be in Allah's way of life.

Oh Allah, my Lord, 
Please guide us. 
If You send him to me, 
If You send me to him, 
Show us the way, 
Unite us with Your love and mercy. 
Bless us, dear Allah. 
We need You in our life in this dunya. 
We need Your mercy in the hereafter.
