How To Deal With Your Wife

---

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و الصلاة و السلام على خير المرسلين و إمام الغرالمحجلين: محمد بن عبدالله و على اله و صحبه أجمعين.

Allah Subahnu Wa Ta'ka says in his noble Quran : {Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.}[ Sura Al-Ahzaab: verse 21].

The aboev verse talks about itself so there is no need to explain it. Inshallah, through the Hadith we shall go thru today we can benefit from our best and only example in this life; the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم ).

Narrated Anas: While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, "Your mother (my wife) felt jealous." Then he detained the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the house where it had been broken [Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 62, Number 152: ]

Learn Wisdom from the "Wise Reminder"

Learn Wisdom from the "Wise Reminder"

Allah describes the Qur’an as being wise: “This which We recite unto you is a revelation and a wise reminder.” [Sūrah Āl `Imrān: 58]; and: “(I swear) by the wise Qur’an” [Sūrah YāSīn: 2]

We can discern two reasons for this:

1. It is a manifestation of Allah's wisdom that He sent to us the teaching revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Qur’an.

2. The religious teachings that Allah has set forth for us in the Qur’an are full of wisdom.

The Wise Qur’an contains teachings that can help remedy many of the problems we face today, whether those problems are social, economic, or political. What the Qur’an provides us with are the general governing principles by which we will be rightly guided in all walks of life. However, not everyone will be equally effective in applying these general principles to their practical experience. For instance, scholars of Islamic jurisprudence study the Qur’an to derive from it legal principles and apply them to practical legal problems.

Be Easy with The Lovers!

 Be Easy with The Lovers!

On the authority of al-Asma‘ī, that he said, “I was once walking in the village when I came across a stone. Someone had written on it:

"O lovers! By Allah, tell me!
If a young man is overcome by love, what should he do?" 

So I wrote underneath it:

"Let him treat his desire, then conceal his secret
And humble himself in every matter and submit (before his Lord)"

I returned the next day and I found written underneath it:

"But how can it be treated when that desire fights the man
And every day his heart is torn to pieces?!"

So I wrote underneath it:

"If he is unable to be patient with concealing his secret
Then there is nothing for him except death that will benefit!"

I then returned on the third day to find a young man lying dead at the stone. I said, ‘Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāhil-‘Alī’l-‘Adhīm!’ and found that he had written before his death:

"We have heard and we have obeyed; now we have died so tell everyone
My salām to the one who prevented me from attaining her."

(Narrated by al-Abshīhī in al-Mustatrif, 1/410)

So dear brothers and sisters, next time we give advice to such people, just remember you’re dealing with hearts full of love not vessels full of stone.
