Characteristics of a Muslim Husband
What a Muslim husband should be like…
1. Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good. When was the last
time you went shopping for the best clothing? Just like the husband
wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to
dress up for her too. Remember that the Prophet (PBUH) would always
start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest
smells.
2. Use the best names for your wife. Call your wife by the most beloved
names to her, and avoid using names that hurt their feelings.
3. Don’t treat her like a fly. We never think about a fly in our daily lives
until it ‘bugs’ us. Similarly, a wife will do well all day – which brings no
attention from the husband – until she does something to ‘bug’ him.
Don’t treat her like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus
on that.
4. If you see wrong from your wife, don’t try to change every single
imperfection she has about her.
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger
(may peace be upon him) as saying: Woman is like a rib. When you
attempt to straighten it, you would break it. And if you leave her alone
you would benefit by her, and crookedness will remain in her. [Muslim]
5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often.
Smiling is Sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the Muslim
Ummah. Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember
also those Hadeeth when the Prophet (PBUH) would kiss his wife before
leaving for Salah, even when he was fasting.
6. Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take
for example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the
home, and a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only
acknowledgment she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the
soup. Don’t let that be; thank her!
7. Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made
her happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize
what gives your wife pleasure. You don’t have to play a guessing game,
ask her and work on repeating those times in your life.
8. Don’t belittle her desires. Comfort her. Sometimes the men may look
down upon the requests of their wives. The Prophet (PBUH) set the
example for us in an incident when Safiyyah (R.A) was crying because,
as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears,
comforted her, and brought her the camel.
9. Be humorous and play games with your wife. Look at how the Prophet
(PBUH) would race with his wife Aisha (R.A) in the desert. When was the
last time we did something like that?
10. Always remember the words of Allah’s Messenger (PBUH): ‘The best of
you are those who treat their families the best. And I am the best
amongst you to my family.’ Try to be the best!
NOTE: For the women who read, please do not rub this into your
husbands’ faces because it won’t work to fix the situation. In fact I
believe many things here are applicable to women also respectively.
This should be read with the intention to rectify ourselves and not knit-
pick and find faults in others.
In conclusion: Never forget to make # Dua to #Allah (swt) to make your
marriage successful.
