 *A Message 4 You*

بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Think of your marriage as a special garden you are building for the sake of Allah (swt).

Your kindness to your husband is not just for him. It is a seed you plant for the sake of Allah (swt). Each of these seeds grows in Paradise.

Ask yourself this one question:

"If I left this world today, would my goodness leave a hole in my husband's heart that no one else can fill?"

This is not about being a slave. No! This is about being a smart investor for your soul.

Look at the example of Nana Khadijah (RA). She was the first wife of the Prophet (PBUH). She was his comfort, his business partner, his first believer. She gave him everything.

And what was her reward? At the end of her life, the Angel Jibreel came with a message from Allah HIMSELF. The message was this: She has a palace of shining pearls waiting for her in Paradise. A palace with no noise, no tiredness, and no sadness. Forever.

Why?

Because her service to her husband was, in truth, her worship to Allah (swt).

Maybe your husband is not perfect. He may forget. He may not do all you wish. But look: he is the father of your legitimate children. He completed half your faith by marrying you. Yes. This marriage itself is a huge act of worship.

That meal you cook with a tired hand? It is worship.

That patience you show when he upsets you? It is worship.

That du'a you make for him in secret? It is worship.

You are not just being "good to a man." You are collecting priceless jewels for your eternal life. Each kindness is a brick in your palace in Paradise.

If separation comes—by death or divorce (God forbid)—let it be that he loses a treasure. Let it be that he misses a woman whose goodness was rooted in Allah, so her reward is kept safe with Allah.

Do not let your kindness depend on his mood. Do not say "if he annoyed me I will annoyed him." Let it depend on your goal: Jannah.

My sister. Look at your husband. See him as your path to that palace. Every single kind word, every act of care, is another brick laid. Your ultimate reward is not his smile. Your ultimate reward is the smile of your Creator, and a home in Paradise that will never, ever fade.

That is the mind-blowing truth. Your marriage is your worship. Your Paradise is your reward.
