Romance

Sweetest thing ever.. Romance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). 

RomanceAisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and the Prophet (peace be upon him) would use code language with each other denoting their love.

She asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) how he would describe his love for her. The Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) answered, saying,

"Like a strong binding knot."

The more you tug, the stronger it gets, in other words. Every so often Aisha would playfully ask,

"How is the knot?"

The Prophet (peace be upon him) would answer,

"As strong as the first day (you asked)." 

Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came home one day from a journey that he had been dispatched on by the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), to find his wife, Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him), brushing her teeth with a miswak – twig of an Arak (Salvadora persica) tree used for brushing teeth.

Spontaneously, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) spouted out poetic endearment:

هنئت يا عود الأراك بثغرها … أما خشيت يا أراكُ أراك
لو كان غيرك يا سواك قتلته … ما فاز منى يا سواكُ سواك


Fortunate are you O twig of the Arak tree,
Have you no fear of me observing you in this embrace
If it were other than you…O Miswak! I would have killed you!
None found this fortune of embrace before me, but you.

The Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) said,

"The world and all things in the world are precious but the most precious thing in the world is a virtuous woman."

    Abit of romance is needed in marriage, or at the least clearly showing your love in some way.

    Romance is important in marriage. Or at the very least you must show your love in some way to your partner if you are not the romantic type!

    This is the True Guidance from our beloved Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be with him, his companions, his pure wives and those who follow his guidance till the day of Judgment).Yet, we follow the guidance of Mr. Bean.
