How to be a Successful and Pious Wife
The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Look at how you are with him – the husband – because he is your Paradise and your Hell.” (Narrated by Ahmad)
Life with our spouse is a voyage and can be eternally blissful depending on our attitude to each other. We sometimes have a dispute or encounter a "small" problem in our marriage and easily forget the thousands of pleasurable and blissful moments before that event.
A student was shown by his teacher a beautiful huge white silk cloth with a tiny black spot on it.

In an adjacent room, Ann, the wife of the CEO of the Company, asked Ahmed's wife a very odd and unusual question; "Does your husband make you happy?"

It’s a problem researchers at Stony Brook University found in a 2009 study on boredom in marriages. In fact, they concluded the ennui leads to a decline in marital satisfaction.
Many couples experience this "marriage boredom" at some point. It seems to be a natural outgrowth of a stable relationship. In particular, once children come along, routine and regularity become necessary.
So gone are the days when a... Being a Pious Wife 07 Jan 2012 Hits:70 Faith: The most basic and essential attribute of a Muslim marriage is the common faith that binds the couple. Since Islaam is a way of life and not just a religion confined to weekly worship it becomes an integral part of a Muslim's life. The frame of reference shared by the couple eases communication and sharing of values which is not possible in an interfaith marriage. It is highly recommended that faith play an important role in the developing a loving relationship.

Being a Pious Wife 07 Jan 2012 Hits:32 Although many Muslims may right now be in failing marriages and on a fast track to divorce and its terrible consequences, there are many ways to put their marriage back on the right track if the husband and wife are sincere in their desire to reconcile.

But somewhere along the way, marital disputes pop up. This is of course natural, but these can escalate to dangerous levels if not dealt with correctly.
1. Money
Couples argue over many things but money is by far one of the most frequent and serious. The solution is to discuss issues openly and consult within the family.
For instance, the issue of a wife working outside the home can become a contentious one. This should preferably be discussed before marriage. Also, if she does decide to... Being a Pious Wife 07 Jan 2012 Hits:23
More Muslim marriages in North America are breaking up in their first year than ever before, according to Shahina Siddiqui, executive director of the Islamic Social Services Association of the United States and Canada (ISSA).
The first five to seven years are the most challenging of any marriage. They are a time a couple spends getting to know each other better and adjusting to each other's habits and personalities.
Below are some of the main problems couples face in the early years and some possible solutions.
1. Lack of proper information before marriage
A number of problems are caused simply by the fact that... Being a Pious Wife 07 Jan 2012 Hits:33 In Surah An-Nahl (Sura 16) in the Qur’an, Allah Almighty says, “And Allah has made for you in your homes an abode.”
What does the home represent to the Muslim family? Is it a place where family members can relate to one another and where they can sincerely enjoy being together? Is it a place where they have a sense of shared beliefs and values, and in which their behavior is based on Islamic principles? Is it a place where family members are protected, happy and kind to one another?

The woman who remains patient in all circumstances, and tries to never whine, moan, nag or complain. When some trouble or affliction hits her, she turns to Allah Almighty for help.
2) The Protector:
The woman who protects her husband’s wealth and her chastity when he is away from home. She doesn’t gossip or mingle with other men, nor does she allow anyone into their home without his approval. As a clever and wise wife, she knows, respects and stays within the boundaries of his gheerah (protective jealousy).

Being a Pious Wife 12 Dec 2011 Hits:362 One day a sister dropped by to pick up something and saw me dressed up with make-up and jewelry, so she assumed I was going somewhere. When I told her I wasn’t, the reason I dressed up surprised her. I told her, “Because it is about time for my husband to return from work.” She said, “You still get ready for your husband?” “Yes, what do you mean “still”?!” I asked. She said, “I used to do that in the beginning of the marriage and then I don’t it anymore.”
Unfortunately this is a common scenario among many Muslim married sisters....

Some think about it, others are already committed to it.

Being a Pious Wife 06 Jan 2010 Hits:544 Islaam gave us detailed instructions that identify rights, responsibilities and characters of both husband and wife to build their relationship on mutual love, respect, and mercy. The following are the most important tips that lead to a successful and happy marriage.
1. Faith: Common faith binds the couple strongly. Since Islaam is a way of life, it becomes an integral part of a Muslim's life.

Couples who work on strengthening their faith, for... Being a Pious Wife 06 Jan 2010 Hits:1359 Before we continue let’s first sincerely ponder over the following hadeeth (Prophetic Narration):
Jabir reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said,
"Iblees places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension); the nearer to him in rank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension.

The Satan goes near him and... Being a Pious Wife 06 Jan 2010 Hits:659 Islaam is a very strong advocate of marriage. We view marriage as the foundation of society, family, and life. This is because through marriage families are established and the family is the fundamental unit of our society. In the Qur’aan and Sunnah, marriage is the only Halaal and legitimate way in indulging in intimacy with the opposite sex. Allah (the Mighty and Glorious) calls marriage {a strong covenant.} Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says in Surah Room, {And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He... Being a Pious Wife 02 Jan 2010 Hits:538 The Muslim woman makes herself beautiful for her husband by means of make-up, clothing, etc. In this way she will appear more beautiful and attractive to him, and make her husband, Allah willing, love her more. This was the practice of the righteous women of the pious predecessors, who used to devote their time to worshipping Allah and reading Qur’aan. Foremost among them was ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), although there were many others. They would wear fine clothes and jewellery at home, aswell as when they were traveling, in order to make themselves look beautiful for their... Being a Pious Wife 16 Nov 2009 Hits:2004 Some of the most significant messages people deliver to one another often come in just three words. When spoken or conveyed, those statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship.
I'LL BE THERE. Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. I MISS YOU. Perhaps more marriages could be salvaged and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other, "I miss you."

Being a Pious Wife 16 Nov 2009 Hits:469 The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The whole world is a provision, and the best object of provision in this world is the pious woman."
In Islaam, the wife plays a pivotal role in married life and her role necessitates that she possess certain qualities, thus making her a good wife. Her thoughts, speech, actions and inclinations are all for the sake of gaining the pleasure of Allaah (the Mighty and Glorious), the Lord of the Universe. When a wife seeks to please her husband, ultimately it is the pleasure of Allaah (the Mighty) that... Being a Pious Wife 16 Nov 2009 Hits:646 In Islaam, marriage is a blessed contract between a man and a woman, in which each becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love, co-operation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquillity, contentment and comfort in the company of the other.
The Qur’aan has described this relationship between men and women, which brings about love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms, {And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you...

The first one said,

Being a Pious Wife 15 Nov 2009 Hits:919 An important characteristic of the intelligent Muslim woman is that she does not describe any of her female friends or acquaintances to her husband, because this is forbidden according to the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him),

Being a Pious Wife 15 Nov 2009 Hits:467 One of the qualities of the good Muslim wife is that she helps her husband to obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) in different ways, especially in waking him up to pray at night (qiyaam al-layl). By doing this, she does him an immense favor, because she reminds him to do something he might otherwise forget or neglect. Thus she causes him, and herself, to be covered by the mercy of Allah.
What a beautiful picture the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew of the married couple helping one another to obey Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) and do good... Being a Pious Wife 15 Nov 2009 Hits:399 Marital love in Islaam inculcates the following:
Faith: The love Muslim spouses have for each other is for the sake of Allah (the Mighty) in order to gain His pleasure. It is from Allah (the Beneficent) that we claim our mutual rights (Quran 4:1) and it is to Allah that we are accountable for our behavior as husbands and wives.
It sustains: Love is not to consume but to sustain. Allah expresses His love for us by providing sustenance. To love in Islaam is to sustain our loved one physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, to the best of our ability (to sustain... Being a Pious Wife 15 Nov 2009 Hits:573 The true Muslim woman should support her husband in his deen (religion) by encouraging him to spend and give charity for the sake of Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa), and not to waste money in extravagance and ostentatious purchases, as we see so many ignorant and misguided women doing.
The alert Muslim woman always wants goodness and success for her husband, so she urges him to do good deeds, and to do more of them, because she believes that by doing this, she will increase her honour in this world and her reward in the next.
One of the beautiful stories narrated... Being a Pious Wife 14 Nov 2009 Hits:539 Allah (subhanhu wa ta'aalaa) says, "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion; indeed some suspicions are sins…" (Qur'aan [49]: 12) It is easy to forget how our actions and manners can have a tremendous impact on our spouses and loved ones, and also how many times our mind wandering suspiciousness can play a very negative role in our relationships.

Being a Pious Wife 14 Nov 2009 Hits:443 The Muslim woman does not only make herself beautiful for her husband and share his work and pastimes, but she also tries to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity in the home. This she does by trying to keep a clean and tidy home, in which he will see order and good taste, and clean, well-mannered, polite children, and where good meals are prepared regularly.

One of them spends at least an hour taking a shower in the morning, putting on makeup, fixing her hair, and making sure she will look snazzy and smell pleasant when she steps out the door.
When this sweetly scented woman steps back in the door, off goes the mini-skirt and tight sporty jacket. The make-up is removed and...

Although this article was written primarly for brothers, it also serves as a good reminder for sisters as to what a good Muslim wife should be like.
When I started looking for a wife, my only intention was to find a Muslim woman who could help me become a better Muslim.

Man cannot do without woman, and vice versa. Hence the laws of Islaam teach men and women to co-operate in all matters.

Being a Pious Wife 13 Nov 2009 Hits:904 The chaste Muslim woman does not disclose her husband’s secrets, and does not talk to anyone about whatever secrets and other matters which may be between him and her. The serious Muslim woman is above that; she would never sink to the level of such cheap and shameless talk as goes on amongst the lowest type of people. Her time is too precious to be wasted in such vulgar behavior. She would never accept for herself to be counted as one of those people whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described as one of the worst types,... Being a Pious Wife 13 Nov 2009 Hits:653 Among the most prominent characteristics of the Muslim woman is her strength of character, mature way of thinking, and serious conduct. These are qualities which the Muslim woman possesses both before and after marriage, because they are the result of her understanding of Islaam and her awareness of her mission in life.
