They got married after a beautiful love story, and after two weeks the husband woke up to go to work. He went to the bathroom to wash his face, and in the mirror he saw his face full of drawings of different colors.
His wife was young, childish, and had an innocent heart. She scribbled on his face as he was sleeping, and she did so with a great love, that they would laugh about it in the morning.
The husband washed his face while upset, and went to the kitchen to drink the coffee which he usually does every morning. He did not find the coffee, and he became more upset, and went to her.
She smiled because she thought he would laugh at her, and say something romantic.
But he slapped her until she fell down, and yelled at her saying: “I did not marry you to play with you, I am a man and not a young child. I married you to start a family to have children, to be a man in the eyes of everyone.
Do you want to live a love story of the films and those novels that you read? Wake up, these stories does not make a home, nor provide food, nor raise children. Today I will invite my friends for lunch, I want everything to be ready when I come back. Do you understand?”
He went out and saw himself as the master of the house. He left her broken, crying so hard that she could not breathe well.
She is sick and when she cries she almost breaks out. Then she hurriedly went to prepare lunch, and tears did not leave her cheeks.
The husband went and told his friend what had happened while laughing: “They think that marriage is all love and romance. This is how women should be treated, my friend, otherwise she will never learn responsibility. She will not be a good mother.
She must know that marriage is not as she sees or reads about it. These are just stories to gain profits. They need to learn that marriage is not a game or a novel.”
But fortunately his friend was not like him, he did not let him to finish his conversation,
he cut him saying: “What kind of a man are you? Why are you so harsh on your wife? Is this how a good husband is supposed to be? The Messenger of Allah (May Allah's Blessings and Peace be upon him) said: (Be gentle with ladies,
they are like glasses.) You have to deal with them gently and be soft on them, and do not break their hearts. Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him said: (This world is temporary joys, and the best temporary joy of this world is a righteous wife.)
Beware what you mentioned a little while ago about cooking and raising the children. It is not compulsory for her, but being nice to her will make her love you more, and be passion on you, and she will do all these without you telling her.
You should know that she is not your maid. Go back to your senses my friend, and repent to Allah. Go back to your wife and honor her and do not make her sad again.”
The husband felt sad and regretted what he did. He then decided to call her to tell her that he had cancelled the lunch invitation of his friends, and to prepare lunch for them alone.
The phone rang but there was no answer.
He went back to the house quickly and rang the bell but no one answered. He forgot his keys in the morning, because he came out while upset. Suddenly his phone rang, it was his wife's brother. His wife called his brother when she felt she was not well,
to take her to the hospital. His wife's brother said to him: “Brother, we are in the hospital.” His voice was full of sadness, which made the husband's heart almost to stop from fear, and the idea that something bad had happened to his wife.
He stopped the Taxi and went to the hospital, and found all her family there. There was sadness on their faces. He thought that they would be angry at him, but it seems they did not know what had happened. He greeted them and waited for the doctor.
After several hours the doctor came out to them head down and told them: “With great sadness and sorrow, May Allah Have Mercy on her, the weakness of her heart came to us late.”
Everyone cried, especially the husband. He regretted and blamed himself.
Her mother washed her and she was buried the same day. In the evening the husband returned home after taking the keys from the brother of his deceased wife.
He entered the house and found the table covered.
He removed the cover and found the best delicious dishes, and saw a paper hanging on the door of the refrigerator. It was written: “My love, I am sorry because I wanted you to betray the customs and traditions of your community.
I am sorry because I wanted you to get out of this stone heart of a man, and to hear from you some romantic words, and hug me and tell me that you love me. Forgive me because of my childish mind I wanted you to treat me like a child.
I hope your friends will like the food, and I promise that I will never make you sad or upset again. I promise you. I love you so much.”
He looked at the table and threw the food everywhere, and sat down crying, crying and saying: “What did I do to you my love,
I killed you with my cruelty, forgive me?”
These days, we dishonor a man who loves and spoils his wife. We have forgotten that, you are considered a great man if you have mercy on your wife, and it is also a Command of Allah.
Allah Says: [And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.]
Remember your wife is from yourself, when she is happy,
you will live a happy life. Know that building a happy home requires, Patience, Honesty and Love!
If you don’t share/retweet this, nothing will happen to you. If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Living in the 21st century has its perks. Media is now accessible within the tip of our fingers by Social Media sites. Alhamdulillāh, through the power of Social Media we get the latest updates of any news that is important to the society.
But like any other thing, it has its cons. Social Media is addictive, the youth today spends most of their time through social media. As muslims, we have to understand that in our borrowed time in this dunya, every second counts.
We have to understand that our only purpose in this dunya is to please Allāh, nothing else. Wasted time is something that is not taken lightly in Islam, each second of our existence will be questioned on the Day of Judgement.
There was once a man who was madly in love with his wife even though they had been together for more than 10 years, when he was asked what it was about her that he was all praise, he said:
"Ever since we got married, to my aggravation, she never stopped asking me to perform my prayers. Year after year passed by but I did not give two hoots about what she said, but on our 10th wedding anniversary,
I asked her what she wanted as her gift and she simply told that my best gift to her would be if I started to pray. I could not deny it to her this time and now as a result,
We learn from an early age the importance of addressing people with respect and by the titles they've earned or are given.
We know this is important in every setting whether it is with family, at school, or in our professional lives.
Even when we address people in writing, be they known to us or complete strangers, we are careful to address them by their given titles or names.
This is basic courtesy that in sha Allah most of us know and comply with without much thought.
What excuse then do we have when we omit the salawat from the Prophet's ﷺ name when we speak of him or when we hear his name being uttered in our presence?
When you say you are doing something for the sake of Allah remember you need to do it with the best possible attitude.
And not with an angry face or as a favour to Allah.
Allah is in zero need of any favours from us. And we are in every possible need of Allah.
Next time you do something or say you are doing something feesabeelillah make sure its filled with ihsan/sincerity/like you can see Allah or like Allah can see you, happiness and a humbleness that Allah deserves from His slaves.
"Ihsan" is at the root of all things. The one who is sincere to Allah will find that Allah will always facilitate their affairs and multiply and grant barakah to their efforts. They will flourish as a result of their sincerity.
“Be careful where you get marriage advice. If someone doesn't love marriage, doesn't love Allah, doesn't love you and your spouse, they will not consistently give you healthy advice.”
Our knowledge is limited. But Allah’s knowledge is unlimited.
You might think you want something right now, but Allah knows better when it is right time to give it to you. Perhaps He didn't give it to you at that time because it would bring you more harm than good. Perhaps He wanted to test you and had you been patient with the test,
