I found this on a muslim yahoo group site and thought it would be nice to share with my fellow guppans:)
**Here are the tips on **
**‘How to be a Successful Muslim Wife’ **
If you don’t understand any of these, I invite you to a meaningful, enlightening dialogue to dispel any doubts. Please do e-mail me. Please do not carry around with you wrong impressions. Wrong impressions can be and have been fatal.
**1. Use your ‘Fitnah’ (beauty and overtures of allurement) to win the heart of your husband. **
All women have the ornaments that Allah blessed them with. Use the beauty Allah - Azza wa Jal - has bestowed you with to win the heart of your husband.
**2. When your husband comes home, greet him with a wonderful greeting. **
Imagine your husband coming home to a clean house, an exquisitely dressed wife, a dinner prepared with care, children clean and sweet smelling, a clean bedroom - what would this do to his love for you? Now imagine what the opposite does to him.
**3. Review the characteristics of the Hoor Al-Ayn and try to imitate them **
The Qur’an and Sunnah describe the women in Jannah with certain characteristics. Such as the silk they wear, their large dark eyes, their singing to their husband, etc. Try it, wear silk for your husband, put Kohl in your eyes to ‘enlarge’ them, and sing to your husband.
**4. Always wear jewellery and dress up in the house. **
From the early years, little girls have adorned themselves with earrings and bracelets and worn pretty dresses - as described in the Qur’an. As a wife, continue to use the jewellery that you have and the pretty dresses for your husband.
**5. Joke and play games with your husband. **
A mans secret: they seek women who are light-hearted and have a sense of humour. **As Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - told Jabir to marry someone who would make him laugh and he would make her laugh. **
**6. Thank your husband constantly for the nice things he does. Then thank him again. **
This is one of the most important techniques, as the opposite is a characteristic of the women of hellfire.
**7. An argument is a fire in the house. Extinguish it with a simple ‘I’m sorry’ even if it is not you****r fault. **
When you fight back, you are only adding wood to the fire. Watch how sweetly an argument will end when you just say sincerely, “Look, I’m sorry. Let’s be friends.”
**8. Always seek to please your husband, for he is your key to Jannah. **
Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - taught us that any women who dies in a state where her husband is pleased with her, shall enter Jannah. So .. please him.
**9. Listen and Obey! **
Obeying your husband is Fard! Your husband is the Ameer of the household. Give him that right and respect.
**10. Make Dua to Allah to make your marriage and relationship successful. **
All good things are from Allah. Never forget to ask Allah ta’ala for the blessing of having a successful marriage that begins in this Dunya and continues on - by the Mercy of Allah ta’ala - into Jannah.
