*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -* - Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Women site, - Haleemah As-Sa‘diyyah: The Blessed Wet-Nurse
































Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, breastfed the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, until he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was weaned, and the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, remembered this as a favor from her. Abu At-Tufayl said: "I saw the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, distributing meat in Al-Ji‘irraanah. A woman came to him and the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, stretched out his cloak for her )to sit on(. When I asked who she was, it was said that she was his mother who had breastfed him )i.e. his mother through breastfeeding(." ]At-Tabaraani[
She was Haleemah bint Abu Thu’ayb ‘Abdullaah As-Sa‘diyyah, may Allaah be pleased with her, the wet nurse of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, came to Makkah in quest of a baby to breastfeed. This was in a year of drought for her tribe the Banu Sa‘d, so the women of the tribe, including Haleemah, set out seeking sustenance. They went to Makkah where people used to entrust their babies to the care of other women.
Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, related her story, saying,
I arrived at Makkah with some women from the Banu Sa‘d, looking for suckling )kids( in a year of drought and I was riding a weak female donkey. There were a young baby-boy )i.e. her son( and an old she-camel with me. By Allaah, we could not sleep that night because our baby kept weeping bitterly from hunger and there was no milk in my breasts or the breast of the she-camel to give him. We moved in this state until we reached Makkah, and the caravan had arrived there before us. I went to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and took him, )and he was the only one left(. Once, I returned to my mount with him, the milk gushed in my breasts and his brother )through suckling( was suckled to his fill. Moreover, my husband found the she-camel full of milk, so he milked it and we all drank to our fill. We spent the night in a state of plenty. My husband said to me, "O Haleemah, by Allaah I think that you brought us a blessed being. Do you not see the goodness and blessing we had this night since we took him?"
Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, was trustworthy in taking care of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and showered him with love. She, may Allaah be pleased with her, never treated him unfairly with her own children, nor did the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, find any sort of unequal treatment.
She, may Allaah be pleased with her, had children from her husband Al-Haarith ibn ‘Abdul-‘Uzza, who were the suckling siblings of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, called, ‘Abdullaah, Unaysah and Huthaafah )also known as Ash-Shaymaa’, may Allaah be pleased with her(.
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to visit Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, and give her gifts to express his gratitude to her, for he stayed with her for four years during which he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was raised on the Arabian values of magnanimity, chivalry, truthfulness and honesty. After that, Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, brought him back to his mother, Aaminah bint Wahb, at the age of five and one month.
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, loved Haleemah, may Allaah be pleased with her, so much that when a woman delivered him the news of her death after the Conquest of Makkah, his, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, eyes were filled with tears for her, may Allaah be pleased with her.

Women site, - Whom Should you Choose as a Husband? – I





















Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:
پœ}O you who have believed, fear Allaah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims ]in submission to Him[.{]Quran 3:102[
پœ}O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allaah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allaah Is ever, over you, an Observer.{]Quran 4:1[
پœ}O you who have believed, fear Allaah and speak words of appropriate justice. He will ]then[ amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment.{]Quran 33:70-71[
Allaah The Almighty honored women and made them the second half of men in terms of rights and duties. It was narrated on the authority of ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"Women are peers to men."]At-Tirmithi[ Ibn Al-Jawzi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “The fact that women are peers to men signifies that just as a man may admire a woman, a woman may admire a man. Therefore, a woman has the right to choose the man whose life she will share and under whose authority she will remain for the rest of her life.”
The woman’s guardian should choose a suitable husband for her. He should not give her in marriage to any man except the one who is religious, of good morals and is honorable – a man who shall live with her in an acceptable manner or release her with kindness. In Al-Ihyaa’, Al-Ghazaali, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, "It is very important to choose her husband very carefully, because by marriage she would be like a slave girl with nobody to free her. It is only the husband who has the power to divorce her in any circumstances." ‘Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, "Marriage is enslavement, so look carefully where you place your daughter."
Thus, it is obligatory for the guardian and the woman to choose a kind and noble husband. So, what are the qualities that should exist in the woman's partner and companion to whom she will hand over the standard, give allegiance to direct the course of her life, and accompany him in all walks of life until they enter Paradise safely together?
Choosing the right spouse is the first gate which takes you either to tranquility, affection and mercy, or to dissension and discord. Thus, what are the qualities that must exist in a husband?
• He should be religious
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you.{]Quran 2:221[ If a husband is religious and loves his wife, he would honor her; if he hates her, he would not oppress her. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"If a man proposes to you and you approve his religiosity and morals, accept him; otherwise, there will be temptation and great corruption on earth."]At-Tirmithi: Hasan[
A religious husband does not oppress his wife when he is angry, nor does he desert her without a valid reason. A religious husband neither mistreats his wife nor causes temptation for his family by bringing evil things or means of distraction into the house. Rather, he carries out the instructions of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, who said:"The best among you are those who are best to their wives, and I am the best to my wives."]Ibn Maajah[
The woman's guardian should check the religiosity and morals of the suitor, because, by marriage, the woman becomes like a slave. When the guardian gives her in marriage to an oppressor, a man who does not perform prayers, a dissolute man, a follower of religious innovations, or a consumer of intoxicants or drugs, he destroys her religion and is exposed to the Wrath of Allaah because his bad choice resulted in severing ties of kinship with her.
A man asked Al-Hasan, may Allaah have mercy upon him, saying, "A number of suitors have proposed to my daughter; to whom should I give her in marriage?" Al-Hasan replied, "To the one who fears Allaah, because if he loves her, he will honor her; and if he hates her, he will not oppress her."
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters.{]Quran 28:27[ Al-Qurtubi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, commented, "Moosa )Moses(, may Allaah exalt his mention, came to the righteous man of Midian alone as a stranger, a fugitive, scared, hungry and with not enough clothes. Nevertheless, when the righteous man was sure about his religiosity and sound state, he wedded him to one of his daughters, completely overlooking everything else."
There is no doubt that disregarding the importance of the religiosity of the suitor is the basis for loss and misery in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. A person should be keen to choose a religious man, even if he is poor. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Al-‘Abbaas Sahl ibn Sa‘d As-Saa‘idi, may Allaah be pleased with him, that he said,
“A man passed by the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, asked someone sitting with him about his opinion of that man. He said, 'He is one of the dignitaries. By Allaah, he is worthy of being accepted when he proposes, of interceding when he asks and of being listened to when he speaks.' The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, kept silent for a while until another man passed. After that, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, asked the same man about him. He said, 'This is one of the poor Muslims. He is not worthy of being accepted when he proposes, of being accepted when he intercedes or of being listened to when he speaks.' The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said,'The latter is far better than many men like the former.']Al-Bukhaari[
It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:
“No one spoke in the cradle but three )persons(: ‘Eesa )Jesus( son of Maryam )Mary(, the second one was the companion of Jurayj; the pious worshipper. Jurayj took a secluded hermitage for worship and confined himself in it. His mother came to him as he was busy in prayer, and she called, 'O Jurayj!' He said, 'O My Lord, my mother )is calling me( and )I am offering( my prayer )what shall I do(?.' He continued with the prayer. She returned and came the following day and he was )still( busy in prayer. She called, 'O Jurayj!' He said, 'My Lord, my mother )is calling me( and )I am offering( my prayer )what shall I do(?', and he continued with the prayer, and she returned. Then the next day she came again while he was busy in prayer, and called, 'O Jurayj!' He said, 'My Lord, my mother )is calling me( and )I am offering( my prayer )what shall I do(?' and he continued with the prayer. She said, 'O Allaah! Do not let him die until he sees the faces of prostitutes.'
The story of Jurayj and that of his meditation and prayer spread among the children of Israel. There was a prostitute who was beauty personified. She said )to the people(, "If you like, I can lure him into evil." She presented herself to him but he paid no heed )to her(. She came to a shepherd who lived near the hermitage and she offered herself to him. He )the shepherd( had sexual intercourse with her and she became pregnant. When she gave birth to a baby she said, 'This baby is from Jurayj.'
So they came and asked Jurayj to leave and they demolished the hermitage and began to beat him. He asked them what was the matter. They said, 'You committed fornication with this prostitute and she gave birth to a baby from you.' He said, 'Where is the baby?' They brought him )the baby( and then he said, 'Just leave me so that I should perform prayer.' He performed prayer and when he finished, he struck the baby’s stomach with his finger, and asked him, 'O boy, who is your father?' The baby answered, 'He is the shepherd.'
So, the people turned towards Jurayj, kissed him and touched him )seeking blessings(, and said, 'We are ready to construct your hermitage with gold.' He said, 'No, just rebuild it with mud as it was,' and so they did.
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, continued:
"Then, there was a baby whose mother was suckling him when a person dressed in a fine garment came riding on a priceless animal. His mother said, 'O Allaah, make my child like this one.' He )the baby( left his mother’s breast, looked at the rider and said, 'O Allaah, Do not make me like him.' He then returned to the breast and resumed sucking.'' He )Abu Hurayrah( said, 'It is as though I can see the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, illustrating the scene of his sucking milk with his forefinger in his mouth and sucking that.'
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, continued:
"It so happened that a slave girl passed by them who was being beaten and the people behind her were saying, 'You committed fornication and theft.' She was saying, 'Sufficient for me is Allaah, and ]He is[ the best Disposer of affairs', and his mother said, 'O Allaah, Do not make my child like her.' He left the breast, looked at her, and said, 'O Allaah! make me like her.'
This was followed by a conversation between the mother and child. She said, 'A good-looking man happened to pass by, and I said: O Allaah, make my child like him, and you said: O Allaah, do not make me like him, and there passed a girl and the people were beating her, and saying: You committed fornication and theft, and I said: O Allaah, do not make my child like her, and you said: O Allaah, make me like her.'
The infant said, 'That man was a tyrant, and I said: O Allaah, do not make me like him; and they were saying about the girl: 'You committed fornication', whereas in fact, she had not committed that and they were saying: 'You have committed theft, whereas she had not committed theft', so I said: O Allaah, make me like her".]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
In Fath Al-Baari, Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy upon him, commented, "The Hadeeth shows the importance of being dutiful to parents and answering their call, even if the person is busy. It also shows that the one who is sincere towards Allaah The Almighty is not affected by temptations, and that resorting to Allaah The Almighty in difficult situations occurs by turning to Him in prayers."
Look how the righteous predecessors were keen to choose a religious husband even if he was poor.
• Sa‘eed ibn Al-Musayyib, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was the master and the most knowledgeable of the Taabi‘oon )successors(. He had a daughter, who was one of the most beautiful, well-spoken and most knowledgeable of the Quran and Sunnah among the women of her time. The Umayyad Caliph, ‘Abdul-Malik ibn Marwaan, asked her hand for his son Al-Waleed, but Sa‘eed ibn Al-Musayyib refused and gave her in marriage to one of his students, Katheer ibn Abu Wadaa‘ah. Katheer was a poor man, so Sa‘eed gifted him five thousand dirhams and asked him to financially support himself with that. Katheer wanted to attend Sa‘eed's circle of knowledge in the morning. His wife asked him where he was going, and when he replied that he was going to acquire knowledge by attending the circle of Sa‘eed, she said, "Stay here, I will teach you the knowledge of Sa‘eed ibn Al-Musayyib," and she did. Look how Sa‘eed ibn Al-Musayyib preferred the pious worshipper to the rich tyrant, since this pious slave would fulfill her rights and the rights that Allaah The Almighty ordained for her.
• Thaabit ibn Ibraaheem, may Allaah have mercy upon him, once passed by a garden while he was almost dying of hunger. He found an apple that had fallen in the garden and when he ate part of it, he remembered that it was not lawful for him because it did not belong to him. Accordingly, he entered the garden where he found a man and said, "Forgive me for the half of the apple I ate and take the second half." The man replied, "I do not have the authority to forgive you, but go to my master who is the owner of the garden." "Where is he?", asked Thaabit. He replied, "You have to travel for one day and night to reach him."
Thaabit said, "I will go to him no matter how far he is, because the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'All flesh nourished unlawfully will be cast into Hell.'"He reached the owner of the garden, and when he told him the story, the owner of the garden said, "By Allaah, I will not forgive you except on one condition." Thaabit told him to put whatever conditions he liked. The man said, "My condition is to marry my daughter who is deaf, blind, dumb and crippled." Thaabit said, "I agree to marry her, and I will seek reward from Allaah for serving her."
The marriage contract was concluded, and when Thaabit entered upon her, he was not sure whether he should extend Salaam to her or keep silent. He decided to extend Salaam, so that the angels would reply to him. Having extended Salaam, he heard the woman reply. Moreover, she stood up and shook his hand. He realized that she was not as described by her father. When he asked her about the matter, she said, "My father told you that I was blind, and I am blind to what is unlawful, so my eyes do not look at what Allaah prohibited; I am deaf to hearing what displeases Allaah; I am dumb because my tongue only remembers Allaah; and I am crippled because my feet do not carry me to what angers Allaah."
When Thaabit looked at her face, he found her beautiful like a full moon. He consummated his marriage and she gave birth to a child who spread knowledge in every corner of the globe – he was the great jurist Imaam Abu Haneefah An-Nu‘maan, may Allaah have mercy upon him. Thus, a father's wise choice in marrying his daughter to a religious, conscientious man resulted in the birth of pious offspring.

Women site, - Whom Should you Choose as a Husband? - II




















• He should have memorized a portion of the Quran
The immigrant Companion, Abu Huthayfah ibn ‘Utbah ibn Rabee‘ah, may Allaah be pleased with him, was one of the early Muhaajiroon )Emigrants( and early Muslims, and his father ‘Utbah, his uncle Shaybah and his brother Al-Waleed ibn ‘Utbah were all among the chiefs and wealthy men of the Quraysh. Nonetheless, Abu Huthayfah, may Allaah be pleased with him, gave his niece Hind bint Al-Waleed, may Allaah be pleased with her, in marriage to his freed slave Saalim, may Allaah be pleased with him, because he was one of the memorizers of the Quran. By doing so, he broke one of the evil practices of the pre-Islamic era and announced the birth of a new principle of equality, which does not recognize any differences except on the basis of piety and righteous deeds. All people are slaves in the Kingdom of Allaah The Almighty.
Sahl ibn Sa‘d As-Saa‘idi, may Allaah be pleased with him, said,
"A woman came to Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and said, 'O Messenger of Allaah! I have come to give you myself in marriage )without dowry(.' The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, looked at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat down. A man from his Companions stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allaah! If you do not need her, then marry her to me.'
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, asked:'Have you got anything to offer?'The man said, 'No, by Allaah, O Messenger of Allaah!' The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said )to him(:'Go to your family and see if you have anything.'The man went and returned, saying, 'No, by Allaah, I have not found anything.' The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'Go again and look for something, even if it is an iron ring.'He went again and returned, saying, 'No, by Allaah, O Messenger of Allaah! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izaar )a lower garment(.' He had no upper garment. He added, "I give half of it to her."
The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'What will she do with your Izaar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if she wears it, you will be naked.'So the man sat down for a long while and then got up )to depart(.
When the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, saw him leaving, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'How much of the Quran do you know?'He said, 'I know such and such Surah,' counting them. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'Have you memorized them by heart?'He replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'Go, I marry her to you for those parts of the Quran which you have memorized.'”]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
• He should have a noble background
It was narrated on the authority of Sa‘eed ibn Al-Musayyib, may Allaah have mercy upon him, that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"People are like gold and silver. Those who were the best during the pre-Islamic period would be the best in Islam, if they understood the religion."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
• He should be kind and gentle with his wife )or of good morals(
Abu Bakr ibn Abu Al-Jahm ibn Sukhayr Al-‘Adawi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
"I heard Faatimah bint Qays say that she was irrevocably divorced and that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alahi wa sallam, did not allocate housing or financial maintenance for her. She said that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to her:'Let me know when your ‘Iddah expires.'When her ‘Iddah had expired, Mu‘aawiyah, Abu Jahm and Usaamah ibn Zayd proposed to her. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'As for Mu‘aawiyah, he is a poor man, having no property, and as for Abu Jahm, he often beats women. Marry Usaamah ibn Zayd.'She gestured with her hand to show objection, saying, 'Usaamah! Usaamah!' The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:'Obeying Allaah and His Messenger is better for you.'She said, 'I married him, and later I was envied )by other women for that marriage(.' ]Muslim[
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, warned her against marrying Abu Jahm because he used to beat women very often. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, also said:"The most perfect believers in faith are those who have the best morals and are the kindest with their families."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[ Therefore, the Muslim woman should carefully make sure of the good morals of the suitor, without any concession or laxity in this matter. If a husband has bad manners and mistreats others, their marital life will worsen.
In Tuhfat Al-‘Aroos, the following was mentioned:
A young man proposed to a Bedouin girl who admired his beauty and did not pay heed to his morals or behavior. Her father advised her not to marry him because he was not a righteous man, but she did not accept his advice. He again asked her to refuse, but she insisted and finally married him. One month after her marriage, the father visited her in her house and noticed signs of beating on her body. He pretended that he had not noticed anything, and asked her, 'How are you, my daughter?' She also pretended that she was content with her conditions, but when her father asked, 'What are these marks on your body?' She burst into tears, and said, ''I do not know what I should tell you, O father. It is my mistake that I disobeyed you and chose him without making sure of his morals and conduct .''
It should be noted that the foundation of a man's good morals is forbearance, modesty, generosity and mercy.
• He should be able to afford marriage )being sexually competent and financially solvent, capable of bearing the costs of marriage and living expenses(
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to Faatimah bint Qays:"As for Mu‘aawiyyah, he is a poor man, having no property."]Muslim[
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, encouraged the youth to marry once they could afford to do so. It was narrated on the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas‘ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"O young men, whoever among you can afford marriage, he should marry, for marriage helps one lower his gaze and guard his chastity. Whoever cannot afford it, let him observe fasting, for it is a shield for him."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
In his book Nayl Al-Awtaar, Ash-Shawkaani quoted Al-Khattaabi, may Allaah have mercy upon them, as saying, "Affordability refers to sexual competence." An-Nawawi, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
"Scholars differed about the type of affordability in the Hadeeth and have two opinions. Both of them share the same meaning. The preponderant opinion is that it refers to sexual intercourse, so the Hadeeth would run as 'whoever can afford marriage sexually, provided that he is able to cover its costs, let him marry, and whoever cannot afford it because he is not able to cover its costs, let him observe fasting to curb his sexual desire and to avoid the evil of illegal sex, as the shield guards man'. The second opinion signifies that affordability is confined to the costs of marriage, which are intrinsic to the process. The Hadeeth, according to this opinion, means that whoever can financially afford marriage, let him marry; and whoever is not able to cover its costs, let him observe fasting."
He should be strong and trustworthy
Allaah The Almighty Says )what means(:}One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."{]Quran 28:26[ He should be strong and able to earn his living, and he should be trustworthy as the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"Fear Allaah regarding your wives, for you married them by the Ordinances of Allaah."
The untrustworthy man beats and insults his wife, so he does not abide by the Ordinances of Allaah. He is not allowed to beat her without a crime, nor is he allowed to desert her without guilt. He should be kind to her. This behavior pertains to the trust, and the husband who violates it is considered as having betrayed his wife because he married her by the Ordinances of Allaah, so he should either keep her in an acceptable manner or release her in kindness. The woman exerts extraordinary effort in bringing up her children, doing the housework and educating the children. On the other hand, Allaah The Almighty gave man the right to be in charge of the wife and should have great patience, which could comprehend four wives. Therefore, how is it that a husband cannot be patient with one wife? Surely, there is a fault somewhere in such a man. In his book ‘Awdatul-Hijaab', Dr. Muhammad ibn Ismaa‘eel Al-Muqaddim said,
"It is obligatory for the guardian of the woman to fear Allaah regarding choosing her husband by considering his good qualities. He should not give her in marriage to a bad-mannered husband or to a husband with weak faith or to a husband who could not fulfill her rights. Marriage is like enslavement, so it is important to carefully choose her husband. She would be like a slave girl with nobody to free her while the husband has the power to divorce her under any circumstances."
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:"Be kind to your women, for they are like captives under your authority."]At-Tirmithi[ The woman is like a slave-girl or a captive with her husband, because she is not allowed to leave her husband's house except with his permission, whether her father, her mother or anyone other than her parents ordered her to leave. This is according to the unanimous agreement of scholars.
