*- 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)./-

The collection and compilation of the Quran















Part 1: During the Lifetime of the Prophet .
A study of the compilation of textmust begin with the character of the book itself as it was handed down by Muhammad to his Companions during his lifetime. It was not delivered or revealed all at once.
The Noble Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad piecemeal over a period of twenty-three years from the timewhen he began to preach the Message of Islam in Makkah in 610 CE until his death at Madeenah in 632 CE. The Quran itself declares that Allaah addressed Prophet Muhammad with what means: “…And We have spaced it distinctly.” [Quran 25:32]
Furthermore, no chronological record of the sequence of passages was kept by Muhammad himself or his Companions so that, as each of these began to be collected into an actual Soorah (chapter), no thought was given as to theme, order of deliverance or chronological sequence. It is acknowledged by all Muslim writers that most of the chapters, especially the longer ones, are composite texts containing various passages not necessarily linked to each other in the sequence in which they were given. As time went on Muhammad would say words to the effect of: “Put this passagein the chapter in which so-and-sois mentioned”, or: “Put it in such and such a place.” [As-Suyooti, Al-Itqaan fee 'Uloom Al-Quran, p.141] Thus, passages were added to compilations of other passages already collected together until each of these became a distinct chapter. The evidence that a number of these chapters already had their recognised titles during the lifetime of Muhammad . is thefollowing two Prophetic narrations: “Anyone who recites the last two verses of Soorah Al-Baqarah (The Cow, chapter 2) at night, they will suffice him.” [Al-Bukhaari] And: “If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Soorah Al-Kahf (the Cave, No. 18), he will be protectedfrom the Dajjaal (Antichrist).” [Muslim]
At the same time, there is also reason to believe that there wereother chapters to which titles were not necessarily given by Prophet Muhammad . An example of this is Soorah Al-Ikhlaas [Chapter 112], for although the Prophet spoke at some length about it and said it was equal to one-third of the whole Quran, he did not mention it by name. [Muslim]
As the Quran developed, the Prophet’s Companions took portions of it down in writing and also committed its passages to memory. It appears that the memorisation of the text was theforemost method of recording itscontents as the very word Quran means ‘recitation’. From the very first word delivered to Muhammad by the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) on Mount Hiraa’, namely Iqra’ – ‘Recite!’ [Chapter 96:1], we can see that the verbal recitation of its passages was very highly esteemed and consistently practiced. Nevertheless, it is to actual written records of its text that the Quran itself bears witness in the following verse (which means): “[It is recorded] in honoured sheets. Exalted and purified. [Carried] by the hands ofmessenger-angels. Noble and dutiful.” [Quran: 80:13-16]
Furthermore, there is evidence that even during the early days ofProphet Muhammad in Makkah, portions of the Quran as then delivered were being written down. When ‘Umar was still a pagan, he one day struck his sister when he heard her reading a portion of the Quran. Upon seeing blood on her cheek, however, he relented and said: “Give me this sheet which I heard you reading just now so that I may see what Muhammad has brought.” [Ibn Is-Haaq, SeeratRasoolullaah, p.156]. On reading the portion of the twentieth chapter (of the Quran) which she had been reading, he became a Muslim.
Nonetheless, it appears that rightup to the end of the life of Muhammad the practice of memorisation predominated over the writing down of the Quran and was regarded as more important.
In the Hadeeth (narrations) records, we read that the angel Jibreel is said to have checked therecitation of the Quran every Ramadhaan with Prophet Muhammad and, in his (the Prophet ) final year, he (Jibreel) checked it with him twice. Faatimah said: “The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, told me, ‘Jibreel used to recite the Quran to me and I to him once a year, but this year he recited the whole Quran with me twice. I think that my death is approaching.’” [Al-Bukhaari]
Some of the closest Companions of the Prophet devoted themselves to learning the text of the Quran by heart. These included Ubayy Ibn Ka’b, Mu’aath Ibn Jabal, Zayd Ibn Thaabit, Abu Zayd and Abu Ad-Dardaa’ . Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood collected more than ninety of theone hundred and fourteen chapters by himself, learning the remaining chapters from other Companions.
Regarding the written materials, there are no records as to exactlyhow much of the Quran was written down during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad . There is no evidence to suggest that anyone actually compiled the whole text of the Quran into a single manuscript, whether directly under the authority of Prophet Muhammad or otherwise.
With the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE, the revelation stopped, as the Quran had become complete. There could be no further revelation once its chosen recipient had passed away. While he lived, however, there was always the possibility that new passages could be added and it hardly seemed appropriate, therefore, to contemplate codifying the textinto one harmonious whole. Thus, it is not surprising to find that the book was widely scattered in the memories of men and in writing on various different materials at the time of the death of the Prophet .
There were only a few disputes among the Companions about the text of the Quran while the Prophet was alive, unlike those which arose soon after his death. All these factors explain the absence of an official codifiedtext at the time of his death. Imaam As-Suyooti stated that the Quran, as sent down from Allaah in separate stages, had been completely written down and carefully preserved, but that it had not been assembled into one single location during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, [Ibn Is-haaq, Seerat Rasoolullaah, p.96]
All of it was said to have been available in principle, for the Companions had absorbed it in their memories and it had been written down on separate materials. The final order of the various verses and chapters is also presumed to have been defined by the Prophet while he was still alive.

Gems of Wisdom by Hadrat Daata Ganj Bakhsh
Abu al-Hasan 'Ali al-Hajweri Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho
*.A person's nobility and elevation in status is not judged by
miracles but by chastity and purity in his dealings.
*.The deterioration of the entire nation is based on 3 things
deteriorating – When the ruler is uneducated – When an Aalim does not
practice upon his knowledge – and when the poor lose faith in ALLAH
SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
*.The saviour of a person is his adherence to religion and his
destruction is in his objections to it.
*.If any desires based on you own desires enters any work then the
blessings are taken away from it.
*.Knowledge is expansive while a person's life span is short,
therefore it is not compulsory to learn the many different branches of
knowledge although it is necessary to learn that much as is required
to make deeds and actions proper and correct.
*.To stay away from unmindfully wealthy, the lazy needy and the
ignorant dervishes is regarded as worship and prayer.
*.A Sufi is that person who has the Quraan in one hand and the sunnat
of the Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam in the other.
*.Fanah (lost in the remembrance of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala), it's
explanation is the eradication of ignorance, to obtain knowledge and
destroy desires and neglectfulness, to adopt constant remembrance of
ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala. This quality now becomes to constant and
that's when the person is totally absorbed in ALLAH SubHanuhu wa
Ta'ala 's love as a result he becomes immortal by self destruction.
*.Acceptance are of 2 types – firstly the acceptance of the servant by
the supreme master (ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala) and secondly the
acceptance of the master by the servant ie. His every action and every
decision is either followed or pleasurable in its prohibition. That
person sees the "Hand" of ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala in every bounty
and he regards sorrow and happiness, life and death as the bounties of
ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
*.Tasawwuf (Sufism, Mysticism) has a few levels, firstly forgiveness,
Secondly – Inclination towards ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, Thirdly –
abstinence from the pleasures of the World, Fourthly – Total reliance
on ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala.
*.To worship successfully the position of manifestations and
observations is reached.
*.Oh! Dear friends, seek knowledge, learn knowledge and practice on
that knowledge.
*.A poor person is he who possesses nothing in the World nor does he
wish to possess anything nor does he show sorrow at the loss of any
Worldly possession.
*.Marriage is lawful for every man and woman. He who can support a
wife and family, then it is Sunnah for him but he who cannot safeguard
himself from Haram, it becomes Fard upon him to marry.
*.The most excellent form of Ibadah is to oppose your desires.
*.The example of the soul is similar to Shaytan and to oppose it is
the wonder of worship.

Childhood
It is narrated that a miracle occurred before his birth proving his
Saintship. One day, during the pregnancy of his mother, she wanted to
pluck some plums from her neighbour's tree without his permission, but
the child in her womb (Hadrat Baba Farid) created a severe pain in her
stomach that forced her to abandon the idea of plucking. After a few
years after Hadrat Baba Farid's Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho birth, his
mother lovingly expressed: "My dear son, during your confinement I
never ate anything which was unlawful." Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu
Ta'ala Anho, however, smiled and said, "But, my dear mother, you
wanted to pluck some plums from our neighbour's tree without his
permission when I had created a severe pain in your stomach which
saved you from this unlawful act."
Hadrat Shaikh Nizamud Deen says that once while Hadrat Shaykh Faridud
Deen's mother was performing Salaat, a thief entered. When he gazed at
her, he immediately became blind. The thief cried out: "I came with
the intention of stealing and have become blind. I pledge never to
steal again."
At this time Hadrat's age was approximately 6 years. He made dua and
the man's sight was restored. In the morning he came with his entire
family and accepted Islam. He was named Abdullah. He remained in
Hadrat's service to the end.
Early Education
After he had completed his early religious education at the age of 7
in Khotwal, his mother sent him for higher education to Multan. Here
he stayed in a masjid where he learnt the Holy Qur'an by heart and
studied Hadith, Fiqh, Philosophy and Logic under the tutorship of
Mawlana Minhajuddin.
Under Spiritual Guidance of Khwaja Qutbuddin Baktiar Kaki Alaihir raHmah
During his studies, Hadrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Baktiar Kaki Radi Allahu
Ta'ala Anho of Delhi visited Multan where Hadrat Baba Farid Radi
Allahu Ta'ala Anho became his Murid (disciple) in the Chishtiyya
Silsila. Upon the instructions of his Pir-o-Murshid, he undertook a
tour of Islamic countries, for about 18 years from 593 A.H. to 611
A.H. [1196 C.E. to 1214 C.E.] he traveled to Ghazni, Baghdad Sharif,
Jerusalem, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Makkah Mukarrama and Madinah
al-Munawwarah meeting many great saints and Sufis. After the demise of
Hadrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho the mantle of
spiritual leadership in the Chishtiyya Silsila fell on the shoulders
of Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho when Khwaja Qutbuddin
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho nominated him to be his Khalifa or spiritual
successor.

Journeys and Mujahida
It is narrated that when Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho
visited Madina Sharif he was spiritually commanded by the Holy Prophet
Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam to visit Baghdad Sharif and meet Hadrat
Abdul Wahab, son of Hadrat Ghaus-al-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho. He was to receive some sacred relics from
him. Accordingly, when he reached Baghdad Sharif, he received a box
from Hadrat Abdul Wahab Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho which contained the
following holy relics: Two flag-poles which were used by the Holy
Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam in some of the battles fought by
him; one wooden bowl in which the Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam
used to eat from; one pair of scissors and one turban which was used
by the holy Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam.
Because of political upheavals in Delhi, he was obliged to shift the
centre of the Chishtiyya mission from Delhi to Ajodhan now known as
"Pak Patan". The Khanqah of Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho, with
his patronage, became a great university of "moral and spiritual
training." Thousands of aspirants, scholars, dervishes and Sufis
reaped benefit from this spiritual university. Hadrat Baba Farid Radi
Allahu Ta'ala Anho reached the pinnacle of spiritual glory through
extremely hard Mujahidas (spiritual striving) to gain mastery over the
Nafs.
Why Called "Ganj Shakar"?
There are several views for him being known by his famous title of
Shakar Ganj. When he decided on mujaahidah, his Shaikh advised hunger.
He therefore began fasting. After three days a man came and presented
some bread. Thinking this to be by divine direction, he accepted and
ate the bread. Within a few moments he became nauseous and vomited out
whatever he had eaten. He reported this incident to his Shaykh who
said:
"After three days you ate the food of a drunkard. Shukr unto Allah
that the food did not remain in your stomach. Now remain hungry for
another three days and then eat what comes from the Ghaib."
After three days nothing came. He was overcome by weakness. On account
of the extreme hunger he put some pebbles into his mouth. The pebbles
turned into sugar. Fearing that this may be some deception, he spat it
out. A short while later, the extreme hunger again constrained him to
put pebbles into his mouth. These too became sugar which he again spat
out. This happened again for a third time. In the morning he reported
to his Shaykh who said:
"It would have been good if you had ate it."
Since that day he was called Shakar Ganj.
It is also narrated that once a trader was taking a caravan of camels
laden with sugar from Multan to Delhi. When he was passing through
Ajodhan, Hadrat Baba Fariduddin Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho enquired
casually as to what he was carrying on his camels. The trader
sarcastically replied, "It is salt." Hadrat Baba Fariduddin Radi
Allahu Ta'ala Anho also affirmed, "Yes, it may be salt." When the
trader reached Delhi, he was awfully perturbed to find that all his
bags of sugar had turned to salt. He immediately returned to Ajodhan
and apologized before Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho.
Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho said: "If it is sugar then
it shall be sugar." The trader returned to Delhi and was pleased to
find that the salt had turned back to sugar by the Grace of Almighty
Allah. This is how Hadrat Baba Sahib Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho received
the title of "Ganj-e- Shakar."
An staunch devotee of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam
He fasted throughout his life and maintained his nightly prayers and
devotions. Fear of Allah always dominated him. He was an staunch
devotee of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam and dedicated
his entire life to the veneration of the beloved Prophet's Sallallaho
Alaihi wa Sallam immortal glory. At the mention of the Holy Prophet's
Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam character he would often weep out of his
love and devotion. Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho avoided
kings, government officials and the rich. He also warned his Khalifas,
devotees and Murids to avoid their company. He was a living picture of
humility. Whatever he received was spent in the name of Allah and his
chest overwhelmed with mercy and forgiveness. Many miracles are
attributed to him during his lifetime and after his passing away.
Anecdotes of Hadrat Baba Farid
One of the devotees of Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho named
Mohammed Nishapuri lived in Gujrat and was going to Delhi with three
other companions. On their way through the jungle, robbers encountered
them. Mohammed Nishapuri and his companions had no weapons to defend
themselves. In such a helpless state, Mohammed Nishapuri remembered
his Pir, Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho, and also offered
prayers seeking Allah's help in their predicament. Surprisingly, the
robbers threw away their weapons and offered an apology to the party
and went away.
—————
One day some poor people came from Arabia to see Hadrat Baba Farid
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho and said that they were strangers to the land
and that all their money was spent before the end of the journey.
Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho gave them some dried dates
which were lying in front of him at the moment and said, "Take them
and go. Your journey shall be completed by the Grace of Allah."
Apparently, these persons were very disappointed with such a "cheap
gift". After leaving the Khanqah, they wanted to throw away the dates,
but just as they were about to do so, to their amazement, the dates
turned into gold. Regretting their thoughts, these people left happily
uttering their heartfelt gratitude and prayers for Hadrat Baba Farid
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho.
—————
Once seven hundred holy men were sitting together. An inquirer put
them four questions to which Baba Farid replied.
Q.1 Who is the wisest of men?
A.1 He who refrain from Sin.
Q.2 Who is the most intelligent?
A.2 He who is not disconcerted at anything.
Q.3 Who is most independent?
A.3 He who practices contentment.
Q.4 Who is the most needy?
A.4 He who practice it not.
—————
Once an old woman came to Baba Fairid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho and said
that her son had disappeared some twenty years ago and that his
whereabouts had not been traced since then. She requested him to pray
for her son's return. Baba Farid Radi Allah Anhu went into a trance
and after some contemplation told to the old woman:" Go, your son has
reached home.'' The old woman was overjoyed to learn this and met her
son on her way home.
—————
The Officer-in charge of Lahore sent Baba Fairid Radi Allahu Ta'ala
Anho one hundred Dinars through someone. The man kept fifty Dinars for
himself and offered the remaining fifty to him. Accepting the fifty
Dinars he told him: "Indeed, you have divided them equally well.'' The
man was ashamed. Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho returned the fifty
Dinars to the man too, warning him that criminal breach of trust is a
sin that render's all prayers futile and ineffective.
—————
Once, due to utter weakness, Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho
helped himself to walk with the aid of a staff. But after a few steps,
the colour of his face suddenly became purple, as if he was under
heavy pressure. He threw away the staff. When Hadrat Khwaja Nizamuddin
Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho, who was escorting him, inquired the reason
for this, Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho replied, "I wanted
to take help of the staff, but Allah's Displeasure frowned upon me for
depending on other's help instead of His. I, therefore, threw away the
staff and felt highly ashamed of this weakness in my faith in Lord,
the Almighty."
A man came to Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho once and submitted
that he had no son, and requested Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho
to pray for one. Thereupon, Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho
said that he had given him seven sons. After some years, the person
came to him again, but this time, He was not alone, but accompanied by
his seven sons.
Journey to other World
On the 5th of Muharram, during the Isha prayer while in the act of
Sajdah, he uttered "Ya Haiyyu Ya Qauyum" [O Self-Subsisting, O
Eternal] and with these words on his lips his soul disappeared into
the eternal bliss of his Lord Almighty.
An old woman that was one of the devotees of the Saint presented a
piece of cloth for the kaffan of Hadrat Baba Farid Radi Allahu Ta'ala
Anho. She implored:
"I have not spun even a single thread of this cloth without having
Wudu . I had prepared it for my own coffin but if it is accepted for
the kaffan of this great Saint, I feel confident, Allah would be
pleased with to pardon my sins and grant me salvation."
Hadrat Baba Farid's Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anho son accepted this cloth as
the Kaffan.
Mazar Sharif
His Mazar Sharif is in Pak Patan, Pakistan. Hadrat Sabir Pak, Hadrat
Nizamuddin Auliya and Hadrat Jamaluddin Hansi rehmatulla alaihim are
among his favorite Murids and Khalifas. It is generally recognized
that he had three wives and many children. Hadrat Baba Farid Radi
Allahu Ta'ala Anho was indeed one of the most brilliant stars of the
Chishtiyya Order and is held in high esteem by one and all.
My restlessness has reached such a level - I spend morning and evening
in your love.
Look upon me now with a merciful eye! Salutations to you, do now make
my heart pleased, O Faridudeen Gunj e Shakar!
Golden Words of Wisdom
by Baba Farid al-Din Mas'ud Ganj-e-Shakar Alaihir raHmah
*.Stay away from jealousy if you want tranquility in your heart.
*.The termination of self consciousness occurs with that ibaadah in
which both the head and heart bow down.
*.Only that heart can become the treasury of wisdom and intellect in
which there is no love for this World.
*.That which people regard as trouble is but only a gift from the
beloved Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala, regard it as a demand made by love.
*.The completion of man occurs with 3 things – Fear, Expectation and
Love. The fear of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala stops one from sin.
Expectation keeps on steadfast on following commands and orders. Love
makes one see only the pleasing of the beloved.
*.A Dervish is that person who keeps his eyes, mouth and ears closed,
i.e. He hears, sees or speaks no evil.
*.Never forget Death under any circumstances.
*.Avoid all quarrelling & polemics.

Islamic Marriage Articles, - What is a Husband? - Guidelines for the Husband in Interacting with his Wife









The family is that brick which forms the foundation of a society. It is composed of individuals that have permanent relations established between them. Most importantly, it possesses almost a majority of the different kinds of personal relations. Because of this, there must be certain etiquettes placed in order to control and regulate these relations. This is such that it can be maintained in the best possible manner, and so that it can generate and produce its proper fruits. Family relations consist of the relationship between the spouses from one perspective, the relationship between the parents and the children from a second perspective, and the relationship between the children themselves from a third perspective.
Etiquettes of the husband:
It is not from the deficiencies, but rather from good manners, that the husband shares in the responsibility of specified matters, such as the mending of garments or what is similar to that.
It is appropriate for a man to not restrict himself from serving himself. This is since the wife takes care of the household affairs. So therefore, it is from good manners that the husband extend a helping hand to his wife in the house, during times of necessity, such as when she is sick, pregnant, has given birth or similar to that.
The exemplary husband is he who cooperates with his wife by bearing good relations and showing kind manners (to her), according to the full extent of the meaning contained in these (last) two expressions. Truly, the husbands who are best at working alongside their wives are the best of mankind in the view of Islaam. This good way of living between the spouses must be deeply imbedded into the daily marital life, even at the time of divorce.
Beware of characterizing the relationship between the spouses with over-seriousness! For indeed characterizing the family life with a militaristic nature amounts to one of the causes for failure and bad results.
From the kind and noble manners of the husband is that he complies and assents to the requests of his wife, so long as they are not forbidden in the Religion. And being luxurious in food, drink and clothing is at the entrance of matters forbidden in the Religion.
The husband should specify a time in which he can play around and pass free time with his wife.
The relationship between the spouses must contain one singular and specific nature. And it cannot be this way unless the couple begins demolishing all the obstacles and impediments that stand between them. For example, the husband should not feel timid and restrain himself from drinking out of the same cup that his wife drinks out of.
There is no human being that is perfect. So there is no doubt that the husband will see things in his wife that does not comply with his natural disposition and preferences. If these aspects are not in opposition to the fundaments of the Religion or to the obedience of the husband and his rights, then at that point, he should not try to change her personality so that it complies with his natural preference.
And he must always remember that for each member of the couple, there will be an aspect of ones personality that conflicts with the others personality. And he should also remember that if there are some characteristics that he doesn't find pleasing in his wife, then indeed she has other characteristics, which will definitely be pleasing to him.
Do not let Ramadaan be a barrier that impedes you from showing affection to your wife, such as by kissing her. But this is so long as you are able to refrain yourself, since what is forbidden during the days of Ramadaan is only sexual intercourse.
Do not chase after the errors of your wife and recount them to her, for too much blaming and reprimanding will worsen the relationship between the two of you, and it will pose a threat to your marital life. So overlook your wife's easy ability to make mistakes, and make her falling into them seem like something small.
If you are able, do not hold back from providing your wife with good clothing and food, and from being generous in spending money on her. This is of course according to the extent of your ability.
Do not give little importance to implementing the punishment required for any acts in opposition to the Religion, which your wife has committed, whether it is in the home or outside it. This should be the main reason that causes you to become angry, thus no other reason should affect you (besides this one).
What has been stated previously does not mean that you should leave matters alone until that result comes to happen. Thus, whenever you realize that a matter is left alone, weigh it with seriousness and determination, without being too harsh or rude about it.
The woman is the head of the household, the one responsible for it. So do not attempt to meddle into affairs that do not fall into your area of duties and responsibilities, such as the food and the order of the house.
Beware of scolding your wife or blaming her for a mistake she committed, in the presence of others, even if they are your own children. For indeed that is an act that goes against correct behavior and it will lead to raising anger in the hearts of people.
If you are forced to place punishment upon your wife, then let it be by staying away from her at bedtime. And do not boycott her except that it is done within the household. And avoid using foul language, insulting her, beating her and describing her with repulsive names. For these matters do not befit an exemplary husband.
Having jealousy and caring about the modesty of your wife is a praiseworthy thing, which shows your love for her. However it is on the condition that you do not go to great extremes in this jealousy. For then at that point, it would turn into something worthy of no praise.
When entering the house, do not alarm your family by entering upon them suddenly. Rather, enter while they are aware of it, and greet them with Salaam. And ask about them and how they are doing. And do not forget to remember Allaah, the Mighty and Sublime, when you enter the house.
Beware of spreading any secrets connected with the intimate encounters you have with your wife, for that is something restricted and forbidden.
Constantly maintain the cleaning of your mouth and the freshening of your breath.
Guardianship of your wife doesn't mean that you can exploit what Allaah has bestowed upon you from taking charge of her, such that you harm and oppress her.
Showing respect and kindness to your wife's family is showing respect and kindness to her. And this applies even after her death, on the condition that it is not accompanied by an act forbidden in the Religion, such as intermingling of the sexes or being in privacy (with them).
Too much joking will lead to (your family having) little fear (of disobeying you) and a lack of respect for you. So do not joke too much with your wife.
Be considerate that fulfilling the conditions which you promised to your wife during the pre-marriage agreement is a matter possessing the highest of importance and priority. So do not neglect that after getting married.
When you lecture your wife or reprimand her or simply speak to her, choose the kindest and nicest of words and expressions for your speech. And do not reprimand her in front of others or in front of your children.
It is not proper for you to ask your wife to look for work outside of the house or to spend upon you from her wealth.
Do not overburden your wife with acts that she is not able to handle. Consider, with extreme regard, the environment she was raised up in. Rural service is not like urban service, and the service of a strong woman and her preparation for it is not like the service of a weak woman.
There is nothing in the obligation of a woman's service to her husband that negates his assisting her in that regard, if he should find the free time. Rather, this is from the good manners of living between the spouses. This discussion will continue in an upcoming issue, if Allaah wills.
