8 Important factors that can Insha’Allah strengthen a marriage relationship in Islam!

Good_Attitude:

Say “Alhamdulillah” for whatever Allah gives us. Accept each other completely. As our Prophet (PBHH) said, if you dislike one of his/her characteristics, you will be pleased with another.

Help:

Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stressed the importance of men helping their wives. Allah tells us the importance of women being mates and helpers to their husbands. This is a real “win-win” situation. Husband and wife helping and supporting each other will result in a strong relationship.

Trust:

They should never expose their secrets to a third person. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said in Sahih Muslim that the most wicked among the people in the eye of Allah on the Day of judgment will be those men who divulges their wife’s secrets to others.

Respect:

You get respect when you give respect. This is mandatory for all Muslims toward all people, how much more toward the spouse?

Joy:

Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to entertain His Wife Ayesha (R.A) and She used to play and race with Him.

Forgiveness:

Whoever does not forgive – will not be forgiven. This comes from Allah, Himself. We must learn to forgive each others for a good spouse relationship in Islam.

Time:

Spend time together. Go for walks. Take a bus ride. Visit a friend or someone who is ill (you get big rewards for that). Fast together on Mondays & Thursdays if you can. Make hajj – this is a great way to get a “new start” on life.

Worship:

Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to lead His Wife in Prayer, even though He lived connected to the mosque. He told us not to make our homes like grave yards. We should offer some of our Sunnah prayers at home.

Tag & Share with your friends because our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “The one who guides to something good has the reward similar to that one doing it.”

May Allah SWT bless all our marriages Aameen.
