|
(1) |
Greet him with a cheerful face | - After returning from work, school, travel, or whatever has kept you apart. |
| (2) | Beautify yourself and soften your voice | - Do not do this for non-mahram men (only for your husband in the privacy of your home). |
| (3) | Intercourse | - Do not deprive your husband of his right to marital relations with you. |
| (4) | Be satisfied with what your husband can provide you with. | - Do not be envious of other couples who may be more wealthy. Be satisfied with what Allah(swt) has granted you (Real wealth lies in faith and piety). |
| (5) | Do not ask your husband for unnecessary things. | - Encourage him to spend more money toward charity and feeding the poor and needy. |
| (6) | Do not prevent him from praying fard salaat in the masjid. | - This is compulsory for him and it is necessary that you be supportive, so to bring even more blessings into your home and marriage. |
| (7) | Appreciate him & do not make yourself annoyingly needy! | - Do not be angered by his every action and show unnecessary disappointment. This will only sour your marriage and make him wonder, " "Why should I do good to her, if she never appreciates?" |
| (8) | Be Devoted and Loyal to your husband. | - Show him that you will always be there for him through the good times and the bad (as long as Allah wills it to be so). Do not share his secrets or faults with anyone. |
| (9) | Be Obedient to him as best as you can. | - You are only allowed to disobey him of he asks you to do something that is prohibited (haraam). The husband is the head of the household & the wife is his consultant. |
| (10) | Please him when he is angry... | - Do not indulge yourself with pride. If you are wrong, then admit it & do your best not initiate or prolong heated arguments. |
| (11) | Protect yourself and his property when he is away. | - Be particularly aware of the way and how often you interact with men! |
| (12) | Respect his friends and family. | - Do not be the cause of antagonism between your husband and his family. |
| (13) | Admirable and mild jealousy. | - This is a sign of a wife's love (but there is to be no back biting & haraam behavior). |
| (14) | BE PATIENT! | - Impatience tends to frustrate men very quickly. |
| (15) | Support in Obedience to Allah, Da'wah and Jihad. | - Encourage him in his deen. Do not try to prevent him from sunnah and voluntary forms of worship! |
| (16) | Good House Keeping. | - Let him come home to a clean and well-decorated home with beautiful meals and loving children. |
| (17) | Do not deprive your husband of legitimate offspring! | - This is becoming a trend with Muslims today who are using birth control unnecessarily! It is your responsibility to raise and groom the future Muslims! You are forbidden from delaying preganancy for fear of poverty! |
| (18) | Teach your children Islam & encourage him to teach you as well! | - Let your husband be pleased with his children & family. |
