Choice of A Good Wife

THE CHOICE OF A GOOD WIFE:

A good wife is the cause of happiness in this world. She helps her husband to obey Allah S.W.T, and offers him spiritual tranquillity and peace.

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:

‘ Life is a pleasure and the best of its pleasure is a good wife’.

(Reported by Imam Muslim).

Ø The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: ‘If Allah has blessed any of you with a good wife; he has helped him with half of his religion ; so he should fear Allah with regard to the other half’

(Reported by Al-Hakim)

Ø The Prophet P.B.U.H. said: ‘A woman is married for four things, i.e. her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion’.

Ø All praise is due to Allah (S.W.T) who says: ‘And among his signs is this, that he created for you wives from among yourselves; that you may find repose in them, and he has put between you affection and mercy’.

(Surah Ar-Rum: verse 21)

An old woman whose face was shining with joy and beauty was asked:

What sort of make-up do you use?

She said: I use for my lips the truth, for my voice remembrance of Allah, for my eyes lowering my gaze, for my hands performance of good deeds, for my body sincerity and straightness, for my heart the love of Allah, for my mind wisdom, for my soul obedience to Allah and for my desire the faith (Iman).
