8 Things to Strengthen the Husband-Wife Relationship in Islam


Something good to share for you, you, you and me. 

According to the Quran, the purpose of marriage is to attain sukun (tranquility and peace), which can never be achieved through impulsive sexual fulfillment unless it is accompanied by mutual love, affection, caring, and sharing, which are all part and parcel of a fulfilling and productive marriage relationship. Islam, as we know it, listically from the sources, is a balanced way of looking at things.



Following are the 8 important factors that can InSyaAllah strengthen a marriage relationship in Islam:

1. Good Attitude

A Muslim must always have a positive attitude toward life. We say, “Alhamdulillah” (Praise be to Allah) for whatever He gives us (or doesn’t give us).

2. Help

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) stressed the importance of men helping their wives and Allah tells us the importance of women being mates and helpers to their husbands. This is a real “win-win” situation, if we just follow it.

3. Trust

Muslims, men and women are ordered to be trustworthy and follow the example of our prophet (peace be upon him) as the “Trustworthy”.

4. Respect

You get respect, when you give respect. This is mandatory for all Muslims toward all people, how much more toward the spouse?

5. Joy

Our prophet (peace be upon him) used to entertain his wife Aysha (peace be upon her) and she used to play and race with him. She said, “I used to out-run him, but then when I got heavy he used to out-run me”. He told us to play with our wives and have some fun.

6. Forgiveness

Clearly, this is one of the most important aspects of Islam. Whoever does not forgive – will not be forgiven. This comes from Allah, Himself. We must learn to forgive each others for a good relationship.

7. Time

Spend time together. Go for walks. Take a bus ride. Visit a friend or someone who is ill (you get big rewards for that). Fast together on Mondays & Thursdays if you can. Make hajj – this is a great way to get a “new start” on life.

8. Worship

Our prophet, peace be upon him, used to lead his wife in salat, even though he lived connected to the mosque. He told us not to make our homes like grave yards. We should offer some of our sunnah prayers at home.

Rezeki

Assalamualaikum & Happy Thursday.



Jika tiada rezeki anak, mungkin diberikan rezeki mertua yang baik. Maka kita lebih bahagia dari mendapat anak yang liar. 

Jika tiada rezeki wang ringgit, mungkin diberikan rezeki kesihatan. Maka kita lebih bahagia dari kerisauan menjaga harta dunia.

Jika tiada rezeki kereta mewah, mungkin diberikan rezeki kenderaan yang jarang menimbulkan masalah. Maka kita lebih bahagia dari membayar kerosakannya.

Jika tiada rezeki rumah yang besar, mungkin diberikan rezeki makanan yang tidak pernah putus. Maka kita lebih bahagia dari si gelandangan.

Jika tiada rezeki pasangan yang cantik, mungkin diberikan rezeki pasangan yang baik dan pandai menguruskan rumahtangga. Maka kita lebih bahagia kerana hidup berteman dan terjaga segala.

Jika tiada rezeki jodoh, mungkin diberikan rezeki umur ibu bapa yang panjang. Maka kita lebih bahagia dapat berbakti sepenuhnya pada orang tua.

Jika tiada rezeki hari ini, mungkin ada rezeki yang lebih baik pada esok hari. Maka kita lebih bahagia kerana rezeki yang tidak dijangka.

Bersabar. Bersyukur. Berusaha. Berdoa. Bertawakal. Hanya Dia, Allah Yang Maha Esa "Hasbi Rabbi Jalallah, Maafi Qalbi Ghairullah, Nur Muhammad Salallah, Laa ilaa ha ilallah, Muhammadur Rasullullah"

p/s~Something good to remind ourself. Ada masa dan ketika kita akan hilang arah dan hilang motivasi. Everything seems all go wrong. Have faith, yakin bahawa rezeki itu milik Allah, dan kita semua telah ditetapkan rezeki masing². Hanya masa dan ketika yang menentukan bila kita akan mendapatnya. Yours is yours, mine is mine. Takkan pernah tertukar dan terambil oleh yang lainnya.
