*Guard Your Marriage Against Shaytan’s Destructive Agenda*

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Life is a Test. And Marriage is part of that test. Yes. Allah (SWT) says in Surah Al-Mulk (67:2): *"He who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed..."* 

Now,

Life, in its entirety, is a series of tests—some sweet, some bitter. Just as a student who knows the subject of an exam can prepare better, a wife who understands that *marriage is a test* will approach challenges with patience and wisdom. The reality is - Trials in marriage are not meant to break us but to refine us. 

My people,

Being Single is a Test – And so is Marriage. Yes. For those who are still single, the test is patience in waiting for a righteous spouse. For those who are already married, the test is different — *it is the test of gratitude, patience, and wisdom in dealing with our husbands.* As the saying goes, *"Grass is always greener on the other side,"* but the reality is, every phase of life has its trials. And Shaytan wants us to forget this and make us either romanticize the past or dread the present. 

Muslim sisters!

As wives striving to uphold the beauty of Islam in our homes, we must remember the profound wisdom in the saying: *"A problem known is 50% solved."* This means that once we recognize the root of a challenge, we are already halfway to overcoming it. Today, one of the greatest threats to our marital peace is an enemy we often underestimate— *Shaytan*. His mission is to sow discord, hatred, and regret in our families. To protect our homes, we must be vigilant, wise, and deeply rooted in faith. 

Sisters in Islam,

Shaytan Targets Women More Relentlessly – yes. It is no secret that Shaytan often attacks women—especially those who are lax in their religious commitment—because he knows that if he corrupts the woman, he can corrupt the entire household. Today, *Most family disputes begin from the wife’s side*—not because women are weak, but because Shaytan knows that a wife’s influence over her husband and children is immense. 

A Yoruba proverb says, *"If you allow the goat into the yam barn, do not blame it for eating your yams."* If we let Shaytan whisper negativity, anger, or suspicion into our hearts, we should not be surprised when our homes become battlegrounds. 

*Note that,*

Nothing Enrages Shaytan Like a Happy Marriage – And Nothing Pleases Him Like Divorce. Yes. In Sahih Muslim, hadith (2813): *"Verily, Satan places his throne over the water and sends out his troops. The closest to him in rank are the greatest at causing tribulations... One says: ‘I did not leave this man alone until I separated him from his wife.’ Satan embraces him and says: ‘You have done well.’"* 

This is chilling!

Shaytan celebrates every divorce. He rejoices when a wife starts *hating her husband for no reason*, or when a husband becomes *unjust wicked or without cause*. He fuels small misunderstandings until they become raging fires.

*My Kind Advice*

A Hausa proverb says, *"Whoever is aware of the trap will not step into it."* Shaytan is setting traps in marriages every day. *Will you walk in blindly, or will you be vigilant?*

May Allah protect our homes, soften our hearts, and grant us the wisdom to see Shaytan’s tricks before they destroy what we cherish. Ameen Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah!.
