Muslim Husbands -where are you ????

This was sent to me by a great friend,needless to say that my response was that extreme few Muslim husbands (sorry guys ) I know fit the criteria ...

What do you say ???

Characteristics of a Muslim Husband ;



No one ever thinks about the characteristics of a Muslim husband. It is

always what a wife should do for the husband... and the list never ends

; home management, tutoring, ferrying the kids, caring, cooking,

cleaning, washing, working, you name it, she is doing it. so what about

the brothers?



Our beloved Prophet SAW was not like this. So, why the men of thisUmmah? It

is quite interesting. So I thought I'd share it with you!!!


What a Muslim husband should be like...

1.

Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good.. When was the last

time you went shopping for designer pyjamas? Just like the husband

wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to

dress up for her too. Remember that the Prophet (PBUH) would always

start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest

smells.



2. Use the best names for your wife. Call your wife by the most beloved

names to her, and avoid using names that hurt her feelings.



3. Don't treat her like a fly. We never think about a fly in our daily

lives until it 'bugs' us. Similarly, a wife will do well all day –

which brings no attention from the husband - until she does something

to 'bug' him.. Don't treat her like this; recognize all the good that

she does and focus on that.



4. If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not

comment! This is one of the ways the Prophet (PBUH) used when he would

see something inappropriate from his wives (R.A). It's a technique that

few Muslim men have mastered.



5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often..

Smiling is Sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the Muslim Ummah.


Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember also

those Ahadith when the Prophet (PBUH) would kiss his wife before

leaving for Salaah, even when he was fasting.



6. Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take

for example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the home

and a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only

acknowledgment she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the

soup. Don't let that be; thank her!



7. Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made

her happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize what

gives your wife pleasure. You don't have to play a guessing game, ask

her and work on repeating those times in your life.



8. Don't belittle her desires. Comfort her. Sometimes the men may look

down upon the requests of their wives. The Prophet (PBUH) set the

example for us in an incident when Safiyyah (R.A) was crying because,

as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears,

comforted her and brought her the camel.



9. Be humorous and play games with your wife. Look at how the Prophet

(PBUH) would race with his wife Aisha (R.A) in the desert. When was the

last time you did something like that?



10. Always remember the words of Allah's Messenger (PBUH): 'The best of

you are those who treat their families the best. And I am the best

amongst you to my family.' Try to be the best!



In conclusion : Never forget to make Dua to Allah - Ta'ala to make your marriage

successful. And Allah Ta'ala knows the best!!
