Kind Treatment of Wives

God instructs men to be
nice to their wives and to
treat them well to the best
of their ability:
And live with them in
kindness (Quran 4:19)
The Messenger of God said,
The most perfect of
believers in belief is the
best of them in character.
The best of you are those
who are the best to their
women.[1] The Prophet of
Mercy tells us that a
husbands treatment of his
wife reflects a Muslims
good character, which in
turn is a reflection of the
mans faith. How can a
Muslim husband be good to
his wife? He should smile,
not hurt her emotionally,
remove anything that will
harm her, treat her gently,
and be patient with her.
Being nice includes good
communication. A husband
should be willing to open
up, and be willing to listen
to his wife. Many times a
husband wants to air his
frustrations (like work). He
should not forget to ask her
about what annoys her (like
when children would not do
their homework). A
husband should not talk
about important things with
her when he or his wife is
angry, tired, or hungry.
Communication,
compromise, and
consideration are the

cornerstone of marriage.
Being nice includes
encouraging ones wife. The
most meaningful
admiration comes from a
sincere heart that notices
what really matters what
the wife really values. So a
husband should ask himself
what she feels most
insecure about and discover
what she values. That is the
wifes sweet spot of praise.
The more the husband
compliments it, the more
the wife will admire it, the
more on target this healthy
habit will be. Kind words are
like, I like the way you
think, You look beautiful
in those clothes, and I
love hearing your voice on
the phone.
Human beings are
imperfect. The Messenger
of God said, A believing
man should not hate a
believing woman. If he
dislikes something in her
character, he should be
pleased with some other
trait of hers.[2] A man
should not hate his wife
because if he dislikes
something in her, he will
find something he likes
about her if he gives it a
chance. One way to be

aware of what he likes in

his wife is for the husband
to make a list of a half
dozen things he appreciates
about her. Marriage experts
recommend that one be as
specific as possible and
focus on character traits
just as the Prophet of Islam
recommended, not just
what she does for the
husband. For example, a
husband may appreciate
the way she arranges his
clean laundry, but the
underlying character trait
may be that she is
thoughtful. The husband
should consider admirable
traits such as being
compassionate, generous,
kind, devout, creative,
elegant, honest,
affectionate, energetic,
gentle, optimistic,
committed, faithful,
confident, cheerful, and so
on. A husband should give
himself some time to
construct this list, and
review it in times of conflict
when he is most likely to
feel averse towards his
wife. It will help him be
more aware of his wifes
good attributes and far
more likely to compliment
them.

A companion asked the

Prophet of God what is the
right of a wife over her
husband? He said, That
you feed her when you eat
and clothe her when you
clothe yourself and do not
strike her face. Do not
malign her and do not keep
apart from her, except in
the house.[3]
Conflict in marriage is
virtually inevitable and it
leads to lot of anger.
Although anger is one of
the most difficult emotions
to manage, the first step
toward controlling it can be
learning how to forgive
those who hurt us. In case
of conflict, a husband
should not stop talking to
his wife and emotionally
hurt her, but he may stop
sleeping in the same bed if
it will improve the situation.
Under no circumstance,
even when he is angry or
somehow feels justified, is a
husband allowed to malign
her by using hurtful words
or cause her any injury.
