Honoring Your Wife: A Guide to Respect and Love

The Importance of Respecting and Loving Your Wife in Islam

Honouring your Wife!

• Respect your wife, She is the woman who left her whole family to live with you.
• She is the woman who left her parents, her siblings whom she had been living with since the day she was born, only for you.
• She is the woman who will complete half of your deen. She is the woman that Allah has made permissible for your eyes to see, your hands to touch, your arms to hold.
• She is the woman who carries your baby in her womb for nine months. She endure alot of pain in all this, she struggles to climb stairs, gets breathless quickly, and even a simple task like putting on her shoes is a huge struggle for her.
• She suffers many sleepless nights while you sleep easily. Then she goes through excruciating pain to bring your child into this world. She goes through it all for you.

Learn to respect your wife!!

• She is half of your deen, not a servant for you or your family. A woman who goes through all this pain for you deserves love and compassion from you. As you are half of her deen, respect and love your wife.
  Remember, together you can make this test easy for both of you, and Insha’Allah your tale will continue in the Hereafter, Insha’Allah.

As the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

The best of you are those who are best to their wives.

[Hadith Al-Tirmidhi]
