ALMISKEENAH

 

 

….for all seeking to wed, about to wed, just wed and all wedded….

 

 

 

From the traditions of our Noble Nabi SallAllahu alaihi wasallam:

Knowledge is an indispensable weapon against the ploy of Shaytan, without which couples remain susceptible and vulnerable.

The woman is like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you want to get benefit from her, do so while she still has some crookedness.

The world and all its contents are but perishable commodities, and the best of perishable commodities is a pious wife.

No believing man should totally dislike a believing woman, his wife. If he dislikes something in her, there would be something else in her that he would like.

Should I not inform you of the best of man’s treasures? A pious wife, when he looks at her she pleases him.

The most perfect belief is that of those who are best mannered and tender to their wives.

A man will be rewarded for spending on his wife, even for putting a morsel of food in her mouth.

O people, fear Allah Ta’ala concerning your wives. You have taken them into your possession with the permission of Allah.

The best of you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives.

You shall not enter Paradise until you have faith, and you will not have faith until you love one another. Have mercy on those on the earth, and He Who is in Heaven will have mercy on you.

When a woman seeks the pleasure of her husband and carries out her domestic duties to his satisfaction, she gets the same reward as the men get for their services to Allah Ta’ala.

If it were permissible to prostrate to any one besides Allah Ta’ala, I would have asked the woman to prostrate before the husband.

A woman cannot do what she owes to Allah Ta’ala until she has done what she owes to her husband.

Everyone of you should adopt a remembering tongue, a thanking heart, and a believing wife who may help you in preserving your Iman.

 

 

The Road of Deliverance; a talk given to sisters by an Alim Rahmatullah alaihi, who rests in Jannatul Baqi having spent decades in Makkah and Madinah tracing the footsteps of Rasulullah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam and the Sahabah RadhiAllahu anhum.

Our Lord, give us joy in our spouses and offspring. Make us good examples to those who are aware of You.   (25:74)

O Allah! Unite our hearts, grant us compatibility and love. Bless us with contentment and happiness.

O Allah! Forgive us and shroud us with Your protection and mercy. Ameen. 

All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
