بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

The story I'm about telling you doesn't mean that, Islam have approved any haram relationship (for any reason).

"Brother Ahmed was widely respected in his community as a devout Muslim and successful family man. However, in private, he consistently denied his wife Zainab intimacy, offering excuses and refusing her needs for five years.

Zainab attempted to address the issue through patient requests, honest conversations, and even seeking counsel from elders. Despite her efforts, Ahmed remained stubborn and indifferent to her emotional and physical suffering, ignoring her pleas for connection.

During a community Eid festival, Zainab encountered Brother Faisal, a widower new to the area. Unlike Ahmed, Faisal was attentive, kind, and made her feel seen and valued. His warmth awakened emotions in Zainab that had long been suppressed.

Over time, Zainab and Faisal’s interactions grew more personal. What began as casual exchanges into emotional closeness. Zainab’s unmet needs and loneliness made her vulnerable, clouding her judgment and drawing her closer to Faisal.

One evening, Zainab met Faisal at a café under the pretense of visiting a friend. There, they shared an intimate moment, holding hands as he whispered affirming words. Unbeknownst to them, Ahmed’s cousin Yusuf witnessed the scene and immediately alerted Ahmed.

Ahmed arrived at the café only to see his wife emotionally engaged with another man. The painful sight made him realize that his years of neglect had driven her to seek fulfillment outside their marriage. The ensuing community scandal was overshadowed only by Ahmed’s crushing guilt, as he understood he had caused his own humiliation".

Now,

You who stand in prayer yet fail to see the oppression you commit in your own bed. Do you think Allah is only watching you in the mosque? Do you imagine He turns away when you enter your home?

Allah (swt) says:
"Indeed, your Lord is ever watchful."📚(Qur'an 89:14)

Allah (swt) sees when you turn your back on your wife's needs. He hears when you use intimacy as a weapon. He knows when you deliberately withhold what Allah has made halal, pushing your wife toward what is haram.

Brother,

Do you think because the Prophet (pbuh) warned women against refusing their husbands, you are therefore licensed to starve your wife emotionally and physically?

Think again, and think deeply.

Yes, the Hadith is clear: *"When a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning."*📚(Bukhari and Muslim)

But do you imagine this absolves you when you are the one who refuses? When you are the one who withholds?

Allah (swt) declares in the Qur'an:

"And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness."📚(Al-Baqarah, 2:228)

Do you think this profound command—this divinely decreed balance of rights—excludes the intimate bond between husband and wife?
