Nurturing a Harmonious Relationship with Your In-Laws: Tips from the Sunnah

How wives should treat their mother-in-law | Sunnah marriage tips

Dear wife

 Treat your mother-in-law with kindness and tenderness, to make her feel that you are her daughter.

 Make sure that your mother-in-law does not see a change in your behavior or your dealings with her and her son after you return from your family’s house, so you think that they are motivating you against them.

 You may have noticed that and this is what she fears..Perhaps she was jealous of your husband’s fulfillment of your desires, and my advice to you is not to show her this interest, taking into account her feelings and her old age.

No one can interfere between you and your husband

 Our beloved mother-in-law 

 First / This is their private life and I never advise you to over-interference that causes them problems and distress, perhaps the husband agrees, and he has no objection, but to please you, and in implementation of your desire, he prevents his wife, and the wife understands that, so disputes arise between them because of you.

Your son is living an unhappy life overcast with problems

 Your son’s wife’s visit to her family’s home is a connection to her mercy, to please her Lord, to relieve her, to recreate her and to improve her psychological well-being, and to return to your son while she is happy and joyful, so that he is happy and rejoiced.

 And as long as they are mutually agreeable, I hope that your interventions in their lives are to mend the relationship and not to spoil it.

 Treat your daughter-in-law as you would your daughter

 Wish her what you wish for your daughter

Do not look at her like an opponent or an enemy

And know that Allah Almighty is aware of you

 to the husband 

Your wife is in your infallibility, not in your mother’s infallibility

Awe _ Allah in it

Obey your mother and approach her and honor her, but do not wrong your wife in order to honor your mother, and do not punish your mother in order to please your wife.

 Your mother has a right and your wife has a right, so give everyone who has a right his right

It is the right of each of them not to infringe upon the rights of the other.

 It is your wife’s right, too, to be righteous and uphold her ties of kinship, and not to transgress her rights and theirs in order to please your mother.

 So sit with your mother and make her understand that you treat your wife well in order to please her, because she is a captive of your house, and you honor her as the Messenger of Allah brought you, and you seek heaven from behind that.

Oh Allah fix the homes of Muslims

How do you win over your mother-in-law and your husband’s family?

 Marriage is “not two nests on a tree.” Marriage is two families linked by threads of steel..very soft and very strong if we take care of it and collect it, and very sharp if we tamper with it, it is cut off. :

Get together 

 Gifts should not be luxurious or expensive, and they should not be related to occasions, but if you find something on your way that works for one of your husband’s family, you can buy it for him.

 Focus on their advantages and learn how to adapt to flaws and accept them with satisfaction.

Let them feel that you are part of the family who cares about everything that matters to them, be the first to be there and participate in the good and the bad.

 Remember the virtue of your father-in-law in raising your husband

 Ask your mother-in-law for advice on various matters such as preparing food and raising children

Sit next to her and ask her to tell you about your husband in his childhood, and about the memories of her youth.

 Go out with your mother-in-law or your sister-in-law if she needs to accompany you on a trip

 Make sure to visit your husband’s family on a regular basis and not only on occasions.

If you live near them, ask them if they need something from you to buy them when you come back.

Keep in mind that disagreements are natural and inevitable so that the smallest problem does not confuse you.
