The Righteous Husband Exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh Muhammad (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam)* *Part 1



*The Righteous Husband Exemplified by the Messenger of Allāh Muhammad (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam)*

*Part 1*

Islam gives great attention to building the Muslim family and made this relationship strong and linked to the pleasure of Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) and following the Sunnah of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam); the fruits of this relationship are committed  people to the Deen. Whenever this relationship is built on Taqwa and Shariah rules, its fruits will be useful and hence the society will be cohesive and strong.

The Seerah of the noble Prophet Muhammad (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) is filled with many positions showing us how the Prophet dealt with his wives with affection, mercy, love and loyalty that we miss in many marital relations now. And the Sunnah of our beloved prophet (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) shows us how he did what pleased them and brought happiness to them, even with simple things, but it filled the Prophet's house with love and peace.

He (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) showed us his loyalty to the mother of the believers, Khadījah (may Allāh be pleased with her), his believing, loyal and patient wife, not only during her life time but after her death too. He mentioned what she did and her morals and the days and time in her life, may Allāh be pleased with her. He (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) was overcome with grief and sadness when she passed away, and from his loyalty to her he (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) openly stated his love for her, even after her death, he would say about Khadījah (may Allāh be pleased with her): “I was given the rizq (wealth) of loving her.” The Prophet (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) did not shy away from showing his love to his wives, and when asked by Amr ibn al-Aas: “Which person is most loved to you, O Messenger of  Allah”? He said: “Khadija”. And he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) contacted her friends after her death. And why wouldn’t this be the case, when she chose him and loved him, and she was the first to trust and believe in him, and she was the one who strengthened him and strengthened his resolve, and was the balm for his pains and sorrows; she is the one who helped him with her money and consoled him with here affection; she is the mother of his children, the one who kept his covenant, and maintained his house and children, etc. For this great loyalty she received what came in the Hadith:

“Give glad-tidings for Khadījah, of a house in Jannah from pearls, free of clamour and tiredness” (Narrated by Bukhari). It is a reed made of pearls and rubies. And the Messenger of Allah met and fulfilled her loyalty with greater loyalty than that. This should be followed by all who took  Al- Mustafa (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) as hisa role model.

The woman, by nature, loves the one who pampers her. Our beloved Prophet Al-Mustapha (Sallallāhu Alaihi Wasallam) understood this matter and took care of it in his dealings with his wives. So with 'Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), he would say to her:
"O 'Aish, O 'Aish, Jibreel is giving you salam”. And he also nicknamed her,  “Humaira (of red complexion)” And the word ‘Humaira’ means the root word for Hamra (red), meaning a white woman with red complexion.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w...

IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE An obligation upon every Muslim

 ﷽ ➖➖➖ *IMPORTANCE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE* ➖➖➖ *An obligation upon every Muslim* ➖➖➖  Allah ﷻ says  *وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ الأَسْمَآءَ كُلَّهَا* _And He taught Adam all the names of everything_ Meaning, the names that people use, such as human, animal, sky, earth, land, sea, horse, donkey, and so forth, including the names of the other species" *ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَـئِكَةِ* _Then He showed them to the angels_ Meaning, the creations. Qatadah رحمه الله said, _"Allah paraded the objects before the angels"_ *فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِى بِأَسْمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ* _And said, "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful."_ [2:31] This was said to the Angels who in the previous verse said : *أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَآءَ* _Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood._ [2:30] _ So they the Angels said  *قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَكَ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِي...
