Some responsibilities of the Husband and Rights of the Wife...

Here i got some informations about the duties of a Muslim Husband.I would like to share this with all of u. Hope these informations are beneficial to all esp for those who are getting married. Hahaha. (I will, soon, InsyaAllah.. :D ) For muslim husbands out there, YOU should follow some of the guides below which that our Prophet (s) gives to us. 

   “The first and worthiest condition of marriage to be fulfilled by the husband is to keep promise or promises he made to the wife at the time he married her” This is an order of the Prophet s.a.w.. He cannot order her(wife) to do anything that is against the religion. 

1.       He must exercise patience and be prepared to listen her advice in every situation. She invites him to wake up and perform the late night prayer, it is praiseworthy for him to do so and vice-versa.

2.       He must respect her and pay attention to her needs so that she will respect him and pay attention to his.

3.       He must control his passions and act in a moderate manner especially in the context of sexual intercourse.

4.        He must never ever divulge the secrets of the household and those of the married couple.

5.       He must strive with sincerity to acquire her trust and seek her welfare in all actions that pertain to her.

6.       He must treat her generously at all times. The Prophet(s) said that the best gift or charity (sadaqa) is that spent on one’s wife.

7.       If she works outside the house, it is praiseworthy for the husband to hire house help to relieve her from too heavy a burden. 

8.       He must avoid excessive jealousy and remember that Allah is also jealous that he himself not commit.

9.       He must protect her honor and not place her in situations where it is comprimised or belittled. The Prophet(s) said that Allah will not ever let him enter Paradise who cares little who shares his wife’s privacy. 

10.   He must also exercise patience and forgiveness in the case of disagreement or dispute, and not rush to divorce. The declaration of divorce is a grave matter indeed, and the Prophet (s) said: “Of permitted matters the most pathesome before Allah is divorce.

11.    He must not dwell on what he dislikes in his wife, but on what he likes.

12.   The husband is not to stay away from his wife or keep his wife in a state of suspense, whether at home or abroad, for a protracted period of time except with her consent. Allah said: “Turn not away (from your wife) altogether, so as to leave her hanging (not touching her). This is sufficient grounds for her to obtain divorce from the judaa. The Prophet (s) said: “Do not beat your wife.” He also said: “Do not strike your wife in the face.” The expiation for striking one’s slave in the face is to set him free on the spot, but what expiation is there for striking one’s wife? The Prophet (s) condemned the man who beats his wife in the day and then approaches her at night.
