Better Husband, Better Wife

Although many Muslims may right now be in failing marriages and on a fast track to divorce and its terrible consequences, there are many ways to put their marriage back on the right track if the husband and wife are sincere in their desire to reconcile. The following principles can be used by Muslims whose marriages are already in trouble or by Muslims who would like to avoid trouble in their marriage.

Examples of Negative Relationship of Husband & Wife

Many Muslim husbands and wives treat each other like adversaries rather than partners. The husband feels that he is the boss, and whatever he says goes. The wife feels that she must squeeze everything she can out of her husband. Some wives never show their husband that they are satisfied with anything he does or buys for them in order to trick him into doing and buying more. They make him feel like a failure if he does not give them the lifestyle that their friends and families enjoy. Some husbands speak very harshly to their wives, humiliate them, and even physically abuse them. Their wives have no voice or opinion in the family.

Marriage In The Eyes of Allah

It is very sad that this relationship which Allah (SWT) has established for the good has been made a source of contention, deception, trickery, tyranny, humiliation, and abuse. This is not the way marriage is supposed to be.

Allah (SWT) described marriage very differently in the Holy Quran: ‘. . . He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts) . . . ” (Holy Quran 30:21, Yusuf Ali Translation).

Do Not Be A Tyrant

not be a Regardless of whether or not Islam has made the husband the head of the household, Muslims are not supposed to be dictators and tyrants. We are taught to treat our wives well. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) was reported to have said: ‘The most perfect Muslim in the matter of faith is one who has excellent behavior; and the best among you are those who behave best towards their wives” (From Mishkat al-Masabih, No. 0278(R) Transmitted by Tirmidhi).

Be Partners in the Decision Making Process.

Follow the principle of ‘Shura,” and make decisions as a family. There will be much more harmony in the family when decisions are not imposed and everyone feels that they had some part in making them.

Never be Emotionally

Never be emotionally, mentally, or physically abusive to your spouse. The Prophet (SAWS) never mistreated his wives. He is reported to have said: ‘How could they beat their women in daytime as slaves and then sleep with them in the night?”

Be Careful of Your Words

Be very careful what you say when you are upset. Sometimes you will say things that you would never say when you were not angry. If you are angry, wait until you calm down before continuing the conversation.

Show Affection

Show affection for your mate. Be kind, gentle, and loving.

Be Your Spouse’s Friend

Show interest in your mate’s life. Too often, we live in the same house but know nothing about each other’s lives. It would be great if the husband and wife could work together for the same cause or on the same project. They could perhaps establish a husband/wife prison ministry, take care of orphans in their home, or lead an Islamic weekend class.

Show Appreciation

Show appreciation for what your spouse does for the family. Never make your husband feel that he is not doing good enough for the family or that you are not satisfied with his work or his efforts, unless, of course, he is truly lazy and not even trying to provide for the family. The Prophet (SAWS) was reported to have said: ‘On the Day of Judgment, God will not look upon the woman who has been ungrateful to her husband.” (where is this hadith found) Show your wife that you appreciate her. If she takes care of the house and the children, don’t take it for granted. It is hard work, and no one likes to feel unappreciated.

Work Together in the House

The Prophet (SAWS) is known to have helped his wives in the house. And if the Prophet (SAWS) was not above doing housework, modern Muslim husbands shouldn’t feel that they are.

Communication is Important

Communication, Communication, Communication! This is the big word in counseling. And it should be. Husbands and wives need to talk to each other. It is better to deal with problems early and honestly than to let them pile up until an explosion occurs.

Forget Past Problems

Don’t bring up past problems once they have been solved.

Live Simply

Don’t be jealous of those who seem to be living a more luxurious life than your family. The ‘rizq” is from Allah (SWT). In order to develop the quality of contentment, look at those people who have less than you, not those who have more. Thank Allah (SWT) for the many blessings in your life.

Give Your Spouse Time Alone

If your mate doesn’t want to be with you all the time, it doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t love you. People need to be alone for various reasons. Sometimes they want to read, to think about their problems, or just to relax. Don’t make them feel that they are committing a sin.

Admit Your Mistakes

When you make a mistake, admit it. When your mate makes a mistake, excuse him or her easily. If possible, never go to sleep angry with each other.

Physical Relationship is Important

Be available to your mate sexually, and don’t let your sexual relationship be characterized by selfishness. The Prophet (SAWS) was reported to have said: ‘It is not appropriate that you fall upon your wives like a beast but you must send a message of love beforehand.”

Have Meals Together

Try to eat together as a family when possible. Show the cook and the dishwasher, whether it is the husband or the wife, appreciation for his or her efforts. The Prophet (SAWS) did not complain about food that was put before him .

Be Mindful of Your discussion Topics

Never discuss with others things about your marriage that your spouse wouldn’t like you to discuss, unless there is an Islamic reason to do so. Some husbands and wives, believe it or not, complain to others about their mate’s physical appearance. This is a recipe for disaster. Information about your intimate relations should be kept between you and your spouse.

Many of us treat our spouses in ways that we would never treat others. With others, we try to be polite, kind, and patient. With our spouses, we often do not show these courtesies. Of course, we are usually with our spouses at our worst times — when we are tired and frustrated after a hard day. After a bad day at the office, husbands usually come home angry and on edge. The wife has probably also had a hard day with the children and the housework. Wives and husbands should discuss this potential time bomb so that if they are short-tempered with each other during these times, they will understand the reasons rather than automatically thinking that their spouse no longer loves them.

Good marriages require patience, kindness, humility, sacrifice, empathy, love, understanding, forgiveness, and hard work. Following these principles should help any marriage to improve. The essence of them all can be summed up in one sentence: Always treat your spouse the way you would like to be treated. If you follow this rule, your marriage will have a much greater chance for success. If you discard this rule, failure is just around the corner.

Suara Yang Didengari

Yang Akan Ikut Mayat Adalah Tiga hal iaitu:
1. Keluarga
2. Hartanya
3. Amalnya

Ada Dua Yang Kembali Dan Satu akan Tinggal Bersamanya iaitu;
1. Keluarga dan Hartanya Akan Kembali
2. Sementara Amalnya Akan Tinggal Bersamanya.

Maka ketika Roh Meninggalkan Jasad…
Terdengarlah Suara Dari Langit Memekik, “Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan..

* Apakah Kau Yang Telah Meninggalkan Dunia, Atau Dunia Yang Meninggalkanmu
* Apakah Kau Yang Telah Menumpuk Harta Kekayaan, Atau Kekayaan Yang Telah Menumpukmu
* Apakah Kau Yang Telah Menumpuk Dunia, Atau Dunia Yang Telah Menumpukmu
* Apakah Kau Yang Telah Mengubur Dunia, Atau Dunia Yang Telah Menguburmu.”

Ketika Mayat Tergeletak Akan Dimandikan ….
Terdengar Dari Langit Suara Memekik, “Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan…

* Mana Badanmu Yang Dahulunya Kuat, Mengapa Kini Te rkulai Lemah
* Mana Lisanmu Yang Dahulunya Fasih, Mengapa Kini Bungkam Tak Bersuara
* Mana Telingamu Yang Dahulunya Mendengar, Mengapa Kini Tuli Dari Seribu Bahasa
* Mana Sahabat-Sahabatmu Yang Dahulunya Setia, Mengapa Kini Raib Tak Bersuara”

Ketika Mayat Siap Dikafan…
Suara Dari Langit Terdengar Memekik,”Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan

* Berbahagialah Apabila Kau Bersahabat Dengan Ridha
* Celakalah Apabila Kau Bersahabat Dengan Murka Allah

Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan…

* Kini Kau Tengah Berada Dalam Sebuah Perjalanan Nun Jauh Tanpa Bekal
* Kau Telah Keluar Dari Rumahmu Dan Tidak Akan Kembali Selamanya
* Kini Kau Tengah Safar Pada Sebuah Tujuan Yang Penuh Pertanyaan.”

Ketika Mayat Diusung….
Terdengar Dari Langit Suara Memekik, “Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan..

* Berbahagialah Apabila Amalmu Adalah Kebajikan
* Berbahagialah Apabila Matimu Diawali Tobat
* Berbahagialah Apabila Hidupmu Penuh Dengan Taat.”

Ketika Mayat Siap Dishalatkan….
Terdengar Dari Langit Suara Memekik, “Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan..

* Setiap Pekerjaan Yang Kau Lakukan Kelak Kau Lihat Hasilnya Di Akhirat
* Apabila Baik Maka Kau Akan Melihatnya Baik
* Apabila Buruk, Kau Akan Melihatnya Buruk.”

Ketika Mayat Dibaringkan Di Liang Lahad….
terdengar Suara Memekik Dari Langit,”Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan…

* Apa Yang Telah Kau Siapkan Dari Rumahmu Yang Luas Di Dunia Untuk Kehidupan Yang Penuh Gelap Gulita Di Sini

Wahai Fulan Anak Si Fulan…

* Dahulu Kau Tertawa, Kini Dalam Perutku Kau Menangis
* Dahulu Kau Bergembira,Kini Dalam Perutku Kau Berduka
* Dahulu Kau Bertutur Kata, Kini Dalam Perutku Kau Bungkam Seribu Bahasa.”

Ketika Semua Manusia Meninggalkannya Sendirian….
Allah Berkata Kepadanya, “Wahai Hamba-Ku…..

* Kini Kau Tinggal Seorang Diri
* Tiada Teman Dan Tiada Kerabat
* Di Sebuah Tempat Kecil, Sempit Dan Gelap..
* Mereka Pergi Meninggalkanmu.. Seorang Diri
* Padahal, Karena Mereka Kau Pernah Langgar Perintahku
* Hari Ini…
* Akan Kutunjukan Kepadamu
* Kasih Sayang-Ku
* Yang Akan Takjub Seisi Alam
* Aku Akan Menyayangimu
* Lebih Dari Kasih Sayang Seorang Ibu Pada Anaknya”.

Kepada Jiwa-Jiwa Yang Tenang Allah Berfirman, “Wahai Jiwa Yang Tenang

* Kembalilah Kepada Tuhanmu
* Dengan Hati Yang Puas Lagi Diridhai-Nya
* Maka Masuklah Ke Dalam Jamaah Hamba-Hamba-Ku
* Dan Masuklah Ke Dalam Jannah-Ku”

The Butterfly's Struggle


A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared in it. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. Something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the wings would enlarge and the body would contract any moment. The wings would then support the body in flight. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly.

The man in his kindness and haste did not understand the process. The butterfly needed some struggle to come out of the small opening of the cocoon. This was the God‘s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it became free. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through all our life without any obstacles, that would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Not only that, we could never fly.

Estawoo!

In the program called (ONE FAMILY) on MAJD channel. The speaker was Dr.Yahya Alyahya (head of the CALL to Islam Committee).

He said that Muslims are never disorganized; they just need to be CONVINCED
THEN HE TOLD A STORY OF AN AMERICAN NON MUSLIM MAN WHO WAS DISCUSSING ABOUT ISLAM WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS WATCHING LIVE ON BROADCAST OF SALAT ISHA FROM KAABAH, ON TV

The American man was so amazed of how crowded is the masjid, more than 3 million Muslims were there at the last nights of the holy month of Ramadan, so crowded, so disorganized.

The sheikh asked the Non-Muslim man: How long do you think they'll take to organize themselves in rows and start the Salaat?

He answered: at least 2-3 hours

The sheikh said: but the masjid (HARAM) of Kaaba is 4 floors



The man said: Oh, this's will make it about 12 hours then


The sheikh said: Put in your mind that they are from countries all over the world with different languages.

The American man said: THEN IT's IMPOSSIBLE TO ORGANIZE THEM BY ANY MEANS!!

Then the Salaat time came, and sheikh Sudais of Makkah stood up and said (ESTAWOO)Arrange yourselves




And within seconds, the whole scene changed and the crowd of 3 million Muslims arranged themselves in well-organized rows in NO TIME !





The American man stared at the TV screen for a moment, and then said:


ASH-ASH-HADU ALLAH ILAHA ILLA ALLAH WA ASH-HADU ANNA MOHAMMADAN RASULULLAH.
