The rights of spouse.
Allah Rabbul Izzah, He says in Surah, is
that from you He created your mates that
you may find serenity, peace, happiness Satisfaction.
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, He says in the
Qur'an هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ
They are your clothing and you are their
clothing.
Makes you Glorious, it makes you feel confident.
It makes you feel comfortable.
This is the purpose of clothing.
But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
said the best of you among all are
those who are best to their family And
I am best to my family.
The rights of spouse Subhanallah, Allah Rabbul Izzah,
He calls this Relationship as an ayah, as
a sign, as a miracle, as an evidence
Subhanallah, Allah Rabbul Izzah, He says in Surah
Ar-Rum, Surah number 30, ayah number 21
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا
لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي
ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
'ala says in this ayah, and among His
signs is that from you He created your
mates that you may find serenity, peace, happiness,
satisfaction, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He
placed love, affection, and mercy between you.
Indeed, in it are the signs for those
who reflect, who think about it.
This ayah itself is enough for us to
understand the importance of the relationship, but of
course any relationship for it to survive and
sustain for long term, it must have certain
set of rights and certain set of duties.
No relationship will flourish if it does not
have the justified rights and duties towards each
other.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He says in
the Quran They are your clothing and you
are their clothing.
Subhanallah, this is such a profound way of
expressing the core of the relationship between husband
and wife.
Allah calls it as libas, as clothing.
What does the clothing do?
It protects, it beautifies, it covers, it makes
you glorious, it makes you feel confident, it
makes you feel comfortable.
This is the purpose of clothing.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions in this
ayah that they are clothing to you and
you are clothing to them.
This is again a profound way of looking
at this relationship.
Subhanallah, the rights become much more important when
Allah Rabbul Izzah mentions these things in the
Quran.
Allah Rabbul Izzah, He mentions very clearly in
Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah number 2, ayah number
228.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala They have rights
over you, similar that you have rights over
them.
Meaning that both husband has the right, likewise
the wife also has the rights.
So both of them, they have rights towards
each other.
So what the rights of the husband, the
wife has to fulfill as a duty and
whatever the rights of the wife, the husband
has to fulfill as a duty and that
is the reason.
The best example for us to emulate, to
copy, to find solution and the way is
the life of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in various ahadith
talks about the rights and duties of husbands
and wives and at the beginning itself if
we actually look at how beautiful the example
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, it can
be understood with a hadith where the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said the best of
you.
Now he regarded category, right?
He classified this category as the best.
He said the best of you among all
are those who are best to their family
and I am best to my families.
Meaning that if you want to be regarded
as best, you do not need a bona
fide or certificate from an external party.
Your wife, your family should certify you as
the best person.
Subhanallah, we may be very good outside with
others but when it comes to our own
family, we're not good you know at times.
So we need to make sure that it
needs to be our own family that should
be our priority.
Subhanallah.
