*The Muslim Woman And Her Husband*

(Part 8)

*8. She helps him to obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa)*

One of the qualities of the good Muslim wife is that she helps her husband to obey Allah 

(subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) in different ways, especially to stay up and pray at night (qiyaam 

al-layl). By doing this, she does him an immense favour, because she reminds him to do something he might otherwise forget or neglect. Thus she causes him, and herself, to be covered by the mercy of Allah. 

What a beautiful picture the Prophet drew of the married couple helping one another to 

obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) and do good deeds, and entering into the mercy of 

Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa) together. This comes in the hadeeth narrated by Abu 

Hurayrah (RAA), who said:

 

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘May Allah have mercy on the man who gets up at night to 

pray and wakes up his wife to pray, and if she refuses, he sprinkles water in her face. And 

may Allah have mercy on the woman who gets up at night to pray, and wakes her husband up 

to pray, and if he refuses, she sprinkles water in his face.”
