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 ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 3rd day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Tuesday, 26th August 2025. *_THE MUSLIM WOMAN AND HER OWN SELF_*. BismilLah.  Islam encourages Muslims in general to stand out among people, readily distinguishable by their dress, appearance and behaviour, so that they will be a good example, worthy of the great message that they bring to humanity. According to the hadith narrated by the great Sahabi Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) told his Companions, when they were travelling to meet some brothers in faith: "You are going to visit your brothers, so repair your saddles and make sure that you are dressed well, so that you will stand out among people like an adornment, for ALLAH (SWT) does not love ugliness." Reported by Imam Abu Dawud, 4/83, in Kitab al-libas, bab ma ja'a fi isbal al-izar. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) considered an unkempt and careless appearance, and scruffy clothes and furnishings, to be...
