*Beware! The Smiling Faces That Sow Discord in Your Marriage*

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

*Dear Muslim Sister,*

A wise proverb says, *"Not everyone who smiles at you is your friend, and not everyone who frowns at you is your enemy."* There are people—hidden enemies, dressed in the skin of friends—who eagerly wait to hear you speak ill of your husband. If they don’t hear you complain, they will resort to slanderous whispers, spinning tales to tarnish the beauty of your union. Why? Because envy eats them alive, or worse, they secretly desire to see your marriage crumble so they can have your man legally or illegally. 

Slaves of Allah!

Allah (swt) warns us in the Qur’an: *"And do not spy or backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it."* 📚(Qur’an 49:12) 

Yet, some people make it their mission to pick at marriages like vultures circling prey😃. They ask seemingly innocent questions—*"How is your husband treating you?"*—but their true intent is to dig for dirt. If you give them nothing, they will invent lies. Yes.If the husband is a driver, she would say: ~ "Your husband is always traveling, how can you cope with this? If he is not earning much, she would say: ~ "How do you live with such little money? Why did you even marry him? Is it not a pity that you, with such a beauty, have married such a short and ugly man? How did your parents allow you to do this? Were they fed up with you?

Now,

*Why Do They Do This?*

1. *Jealousy*– They see your happiness and it burns them inside. *"The jealous person is angry at even the breeze that touches you."*

2. *Bad Intentions* – Some wish to plant doubt in your heart, hoping to create cracks in your marriage so they can slither in with their own agendas. 

3. *Misery Loves Company* – "A drowning man will clutch at a razor blade." Those whose own marriages are in shambles seek to drag others down with them. 

*The Destructive Power of Gossip:*

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:  *"The talebearer will not enter Paradise."* 📚(Bukhari & Muslim) 

Yet, many marriages today lie in ruins because of the whispers of *"devils in human skin."* They smile to your face but sharpen their tongues behind your back. Yes. Once discord is sown, it spreads like wildfire.

*Final Advice on the above subject:*

Remember, dear sister, *"A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers."* Do not let the whispers of shayateen (devils) in human form plant doubt in your heart. Protect your home, protect your love, and trust only in Allah to judge your marriage—not the idle tongues of those who wait for it to fail. 

Stay vigilant. Stay wise. And may Allah protect your marriage from every evil eye and envious tongue. Ameen Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah!.
