10 Golden Rules for a Successful Marriage from a Mother to Her Daughter
❝O my dear daughter, take from me these 10 qualities; they will be for you a stored treasure & a reminder:
𝕆ℕ𝔼 : Accompany him with contentment and live with him in a good manner.
𝕋𝕨𝕠: Listen to him and obey him.
𝕋𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕗𝕠𝕦𝕣 : Take care of his eyes and take care of his nose, so do not let him see anything ugly from you and only let him smell pleasant smells from you. Kohl is the best beautification while water is the sweetest of the rare perfumes.
𝔽𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕤𝕚𝕩 : Pay attention to his meal times and be quiet during his sleep times, because the heat of hunger is like a burning flame and disturbing his sleep will anger him..
𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 : Take care of his home and his wealth and
look over him, his servants, and his children. Protecting his wealth shows good judgment, while watching over his servants and children shows good management.
ℕ𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕖𝕟 : Do not expose his secrets and do not disobey his command. If you expose his secrets, he will never feel safe with you, and if you disobey his command, his heart will boil with anger towards you.
❝Beware of showing happiness in front of him when he is sad, and do not express sorrow in front of him when he is happy. In the first scenario, it shows negligence, and the second scenario will cause him sadness.❞
❝Show him the utmost respect and the utmost honor, & agree with him as much as possible; this will increase your companionship. And know-you will not attain what you love until you prefer his happiness over your happiness and his desires over your desires concerning what you like and dislike. May Allah grant you what is best.❞

Conclusion:
