THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 23rd day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1440, (Thursday, 28th February, 2019). FEAR ALLAH AND TREAT YOUR WIVES KINDLY. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Taking good care of women and treating them with kindness is an act of worship and whoever treat women especially our wives badly is commiting a major sin. Marriage is not slavery but companionship which is a trust from ALLAH and ALLAH will judge us as to how we treated our wives. ALLAH says in the Quran: وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ Live with them in kindness. Surat An-Nisa 4:19. This is a command from ALLAH not a request as such whoever goes against the commands of ALLAAH is committing a major sin. Today I'm on my brothers only 😊. The sad reality of some brothers today is the fact that they will use lies to get a second wife and start treating the first wife with her children badly or unfairly. I've been getting such complaints from sisters on regular basis. Let's fear ALLAH as we are accountable for how we treat our wives. Treat your wife how you would want your daughter/sister to be treated in the near future in her marriage. Ensure you take good care of your first wife in particular with her children and treat both fairly. Never speak to one wife about the other even if it's the truth. ALLAH is watching and hearing and will punish you if you don't treat your wives and children kindly. I would like to advise my single sisters that never agree to marry a brother who doesn't treat his first wife well and you must investigate that when he proposes to you, he will do the same to you one day. As soon as he start telling you why he want to marry you and it involves telling you some things negative about the first wife, please ignore him as he will do the same to you one day. Let's fear the day we will die and answer to ALLAH how we treated our wives and children. It's becoming a fun now to divorce and hate our wives we loved so much before and that's satanic influences. If you have one wife and you leave her at home as maid servant and always on your phone when you get home chatting with others, that's equally mistreatment of your wife, stop it or else there won't be any blessings in your life and your daughter or sister may face similar treatment. Note that the devil you know is better than the Angel you don't know. May ALLAH aid us to treat our women well purely for ALLAH sake not base on their attitude towards us. Aameen.
