*Let's Change Our Mindsets About Marriage*

*Episode 5*

*NOT EVERYTHING IS WORTH TALKING ABOUT*

In my experience as a married person, I must say that talking about everything you see at home as a husband is quite problematic. Some men just can't keep quiet. They find everything worth speaking about. Complaining a lot leads to disrespect. And it is a sign of not being considerate. Only Almighty Allāh is perfect. And we are all not perfect in one aspect or another. When a wife has a lot of home chores to achieve, sometimes you overlook her weakness and failures, not because you should not correct her, but because it is not easy to run a house.

Sometimes when she is too occupied doing one thing or another, you can chip in as a husband to assist. Take, for instance, you saw some dirt on the floor, you don't need to always point at such things, simply, pick it up and throw it away. Some men might feel arrogant to do so, well, give a try and see the result. But when you have to pick it, Make sure she sees it. In-sha-Allāh, tomorrow, you won't see that happen again because she will feel ashame to let it happen again. This means action speaks louder than voice. Always remember, she is not a machine, she can't do it all. As a husband, I worked in the kitchen, I sweep the house, I cleaned and washed the toilet. I babysit the kids. Whenever I open my mouth to complain about something, I quickly remember what's like to have a list of activities in your routine which makes it very difficult for her to be perfect, especially if she is working or attending school.

Sisters, don't take things for granted. Those minor issues you ignore are the reasons for many problems. When you are wrong, accept your mistakes and apologise, no need to argue. Argument always results in a fight. So be humble and do your job. His duty is to provide for you, as long as he is doing it well, do your job well too. If you fail as a wife, then your children will also fail. And your marriage will fail too. This is a race... Strive to win it. Else, your husband will underestimate you, and eventually, he will develop hate for you especially when you are dirty.

May Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) increase our  beneficial knowledge. Ameen

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...
