Kindness to Wives

It is wrong to reject the intercession of Allah Ta’ala, when He is, commanding to treat a wife well. She is weak and far from her parents, she is at our mercy. After giving birth to a few children she becomes weak and the husband takes out all his anger on her because she did not do some work of his. Alas! Why have you thought her to be like your maid (servant), how about you doing it yourself for a change. You were not given a wife to work for you. If she does any work for you, it is through her kindness. So Allah Ta’ala is interceding for His bonds woman, that treat your wife well, whether she be young or old, even if her teeth have fallen and her face has wrinkled. Not that when she was young and beautiful you did everything for her and now that she has grown old you treat her terribly. This in not correct. Think of this old lady who has grown old with you. When she was young and pretty you loved her, now that she is old, love her thinking it to be the command of Allah Ta’ala, and be kind to her for the same. If she has a headache, bring medicine for her and be merciful towards her.

Re: Kindness to Wives

I think its because it allows people to get some perspective or just to vent without having to deal with the blowback to doing that in their usual lives. completely okay, and while their issues and challenges may seem petty or small to someone else, to them they are big issues and if they can get perspective or feedback in a fairly safe environment that will not impact their daily life, its all cool.

Is there anything about kindness to husbands?

Re: Kindness to Wives

Re: Kindness to Wives

But times have changed now, husbands have to face aggression from wives, they get beaten up all the time and also get mentally tortured. Most of such cases go un-reported due to the humiliation that it will bring to the man :smiley:

Re: Kindness to Wives

Webmister – you bring up an important point. I don’t know about other countries, but it’s certainly coming to the attention of people here in the US. Most men don’t want to talk about it because they feel humiliated. There was a discussion/panel event at our masjid about this, unfortunately I couldn’t attend, but it talked about how there is abuse - both physical and mental - that husbands and wives are facing from each other. I heard from some aunties who attended that were shocked to find that women can treat their husbands like that! Now the community has started a counseling session to help couples who are struggling with such problems.

Kindness isn’t reserved for just the wife, or the husband deserves more because he’s bringing home the bread. If you give kindness, then inshAllah you’ll get it too. :flower1:
