A wife’s responsibilities.

It is vital for a wife to treat her husband well, to stand by his side during ups and downs, and to appreciate her husband’s efforts; these are the modest actions that may further develop the connection and make it strong and unbreakable no matter what circumstance arises. Respect, love, obedience, sincerity, and honesty are some of the duties that a wife owes to her husband.

The prophet {S.A.W.S} said:

“This world is temporary joys, and the best temporary joy of this world is a righteous wife.”

Sayings of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.S) about his first wife Khadija (R.A):

  • She believed in me when no one else did;
  • She accepted Islam when people rejected me;
  • And she helped and comforted me when there was
  • No one else to lend me a helping hand.
  • This was the amount of respect, love and obedience Khadija (R.A) had for the Prophet.

The best of Men are those who are best to their wives. – Prophet {S.A.W.S}

Husbands should love and care for their spouses since women are produced from a man’s rib. Not from his head to top him, nor from his foot to step on him, but from his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected by him, and close to his heart to be loved by him.
