Rights of a Muslim Wife upon Her Husband


Rights of a Muslim Wife upon Her Husband
 There is a misconception that Islam doesn’t give proper rights to woman. If you carefully study Islam in the lights of Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), you will understand that Islam is the only religion giving proper rights to a woman or wife.
Allah said in the Quran:
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought? (Quran 30:21)
Below are the 12 rights of a Muslim wife upon her husband or a Muslim husband’s duties towards his wife:
1.     TO SPEND UPON HER, to feed her. Not to be excessive in this and not to be stingy!

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Give charity.’ A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have a Dinar.’ He said: ‘Spend it on yourself.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your wife.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your son.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘Spend it on your servant.’ He said: ‘I have another.’ He said: ‘You know best (what to do with it).”‘ (Sunan an-Nasa’i 2535)
It’s in fact a reward for a man to spend upon his wife:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife’s mouth.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
2.     TO BE KIND TO HER AND NOT TO HARM HER.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one whose behavior is most excellent; and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives.” (Tirmidhi)
3.     TO BE LOVING TO HER. If you are an husband reading this, then you must do the following very often:
§  Loving to her with your tongue. Nice words, tell her you love her. Tell her how good she looks.
§  If your wife asks you to get her something and you can’t get it , say I’ll get it inshaAllaah.
§  Helping her with housework. This is from the example of the Prophet (ﷺ)
§  To be playful with his wife.
§  Sharing food with her.
§  To cuddle with her.
§  Sleeping under the same cover.
4.     That The Men Must Not Curse Or Swear At His Wife, Or Insult Her Appearance.
5.     A Man Must Not Boycott Her And If He Does (For A Valid Reason) He Should Do It Inside Of The Home.
6.     A man should not expose the secrets of his wife.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: The most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of judgment is the men who goes to his wife and she comes to him, and then he divulges her secret. (Sahih Muslim)
7.     A MAN SHOULD NOT HATE HIS WIFE. Exalt the good and minimize her shortcomings. A man should not be angry at her faults and should look at her good. To look only good in her.
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “A believer must not hate (his wife) believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another”. (Muslim)
May Almighty Allah grant us understanding!!! Ameen...

*BED ~ WETTING & GUSL ~ JANABAH* *Rules Regarding Ghusl and Wet Dreams for Men and Women* *Q u e s t i o n s:* (1) I have learned that if a women who has reached puberty has an erotic dream and sees some discharge afterwards, she has to make Ghusl. (2) If she sees discharge alone without remembering a dream, she would also have to take Ghusl. But if she remembers only the dream without seeing discharge, she doesn’t have to take Ghusl. (3) What if a women constantly has discharge? How does she know when to take Ghusl and when not? (4) Can u briefly explain the step by step way of performing Gusl Janabah according to Sunnah? *R E S P O N S E* بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم *With regards to wet dreams, men and women have the similar rulings.* *So, if a man or woman has a wet dream and he/she sees wetness/discharge they are obliged to make Ghusl, even if they are not certain the wetness is from an ejaculation/orgasm. In other words, even if he/she has constant di...

Second wife! The words reverberated through my brain. Why? LETS BE SINCERE:

LETS BE SINCERE: Second wife! The words reverberated through my brain. Why? Am I not good enough? Never! I will never accept a second wife! If you want a second wife you can go out and get one as long as you know that I will not be here when you come back! Those were my words to my husband a few years ago when he mentioned to me that he is intending to marry again a second time. It was a woman recently divorced, 4 children. She is having a hard time, he said, she don't know where the next meal is coming from or how to provide adequately for her children. "Where is their father?" I asked, "Can't he take care of his own kids? Why do you a strange man have to carry another man's burden? Surely there are other ways that you can help her out financially without having to MARRY her! I could not imagine myself in a plural marriage. Sharing my husband with another woman. Sharing his love, his smiles, his jokes with a woman other than myself. I could not fatho...
