*KINDNESS TO THE WIFE BRINGS JOY TO LIFE*
🎗Kindness to the Wife brings Joy to Life.
In Islam a husband is required to treat his wife with affection, respect her feelings, and show her kindness and consideration.
The husband should not show the wife any aversion or subject her to suspense or uncertainty.
These guiding principles are established from the Quran and Sunnah and when implemented, bring about a great deal of peace and harmony in marriage.
*Wife as a Source of Peace*
Allah says in the Noble Quran
*“And among His signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find contentment in them, and He has instilled between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for people who reflect”.*
(Quran 30:21)
For a wife to become a source of peace and contentment she has to be in a peaceful relationship. Therefore the treatment of the husband to the wife is of great significance in realizing this purpose.
A husband’s treatment towards his wife should reflect a Muslim’s good character, which in turn is a reflection of the man’s faith.
In this regard the Prophet peace be upon him said
*“The best among you are those who are best to their family and I am the best to my family.”*
(Tirmizi, ibn Majah)
🎗Kind treatment generates true and deep seated love for the husband in the wife’s heart.
The wife in turn becomes eager and enthusiastic to serve her husband and accords him the honour and respect he deserves.
*The Wife – A Treasure without Equal*
For a Muslim, a good wife is the best treasure a man can possess, after belief in Allah and following His commands, she is considered the key to happiness. According to a Hadith, the Prophet said to `Umar ,
*“Shall I tell you the best a man can treasure? It is a good wife. If he looks at her, she gives him pleasure; if he orders her, she obeys; and if he is away from her, she remains faithful to him".*
(Abu Dawood)
The Prophet (SAW) also said,
*“Whoever is granted a good wife, he is helped to practice half his faith, let him obey Allah in the second half”*. (Mishkaat)
*The potential to become a source of true pleasure is vested in every wife.*
*It is the responsibility of the husband to unlock this potential and utilize it for the benefit of his own life and that of his family.*
*Like any treasure or wealth that one possesses it must be looked after, kept safely and constantly nurtured for it to maintain its value.*
*This principle shall to a greater extent apply to the wife who is regarded as the treasure of all treasures.*
*Any form of misuse, abuse and maltreatment of this treasure will lead to diminishing the good that this treasure delivers and shall become a source of sin and accountability to Allah Ta’ala.*
