YOUR WIVES ARE NOT YOUR MAIDS THEY ARE YOUR OTHER HALF..

Please take note and share as much as possible.
Your wives are not your maids they are your
other half.. Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon
him) couldn't stress more of the status of a
Muslim wife, He emphasised in this topic through
various narrations and His last will even was; "I
urge you to treat women well." (Bukhari 331 &
Muslim 1468)
It has become a very common thinking amongst
our brothers to feel that that housework is
beneath them, and some of them think that it will
undermine their status and position if they help
their wives with this work.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) even
after a hard day of work came home to help with
the cooking and cleaning. He even took the trash
out and sewed His own clothes.
It was reported by Aisha (May Allah be pleased
with her), when she was asked about what the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to
do in his house; her response described what she
herself had seen.
"He was like any other human being: he would
clean his clothes, milk his ewe and serve
himself." (Reported by Imam Ahmad in al-
Musnad, 6/256; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 671)
She (May Allah be pleased her) was also asked
about what the Messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) used to do in his house, and she said,
"He used to serve his family, then when the time
for prayer came, he would go out to
pray." (Reported by al-Bukhari, al-Fath, 2/162).
If we were to do likewise nowadays, we would
achieve three things:
• We would be following the example of the
Prophet (peace be upon him)
• We would be helping our wives in attaining a
better home.
• We would feel more humble & less arrogant.
Brothers keep in mind even something as little as
your presence in the kitchen or even setting the
table can bring peace and contentment to her
heart. Let these Hadith be a reminder and a
lesson. Please Have some consideration.
Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-
Jaaria for you and for me... In'Shaa'Allah.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then
he will have the reward equal to the doer of the
action.” [Muslim 1893]
