			The rights of spouse.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			Allah Rabbul Izzah, He says in Surah, is
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			that from you He created your mates that
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:13
			you may find serenity, peace, happiness Satisfaction.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, He says in the
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:21
			Qur'an هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَهُنَّ
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			They are your clothing and you are their

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			It makes you feel comfortable.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			This is the purpose of clothing.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			said the best of you among all are
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			those who are best to their family And
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			I am best to my family.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			The rights of spouse Subhanallah, Allah Rabbul Izzah,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			He calls this Relationship as an ayah, as
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			a sign, as a miracle, as an evidence
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			Subhanallah, Allah Rabbul Izzah, He says in Surah
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			Ar-Rum, Surah number 30, ayah number 21
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:17
			لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			'ala says in this ayah, and among His
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			signs is that from you He created your
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
			mates that you may find serenity, peace, happiness,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			satisfaction, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:42
			placed love, affection, and mercy between you.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Indeed, in it are the signs for those
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			who reflect, who think about it.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			This ayah itself is enough for us to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			understand the importance of the relationship, but of
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			course any relationship for it to survive and
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			sustain for long term, it must have certain
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			set of rights and certain set of duties.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			No relationship will flourish if it does not
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:18
			have the justified rights and duties towards each
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			other.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He says in
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:29
			the Quran They are your clothing and you
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			are their clothing.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			Subhanallah, this is such a profound way of
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:40
			expressing the core of the relationship between husband
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			and wife.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			Allah calls it as libas, as clothing.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			What does the clothing do?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:54
			It protects, it beautifies, it covers, it makes
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			you glorious, it makes you feel confident, it
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			makes you feel comfortable.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			This is the purpose of clothing.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions in this
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			ayah that they are clothing to you and
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			you are clothing to them.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			This is again a profound way of looking
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			at this relationship.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			Subhanallah, the rights become much more important when
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			Allah Rabbul Izzah mentions these things in the
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			Quran.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			Allah Rabbul Izzah, He mentions very clearly in
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah number 2, ayah number
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			228.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala They have rights
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			over you, similar that you have rights over
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			them.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			Meaning that both husband has the right, likewise
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			the wife also has the rights.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			So both of them, they have rights towards
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			each other.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			So what the rights of the husband, the
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			wife has to fulfill as a duty and
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			whatever the rights of the wife, the husband
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			has to fulfill as a duty and that
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			is the reason.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			The best example for us to emulate, to
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			copy, to find solution and the way is
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			the life of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in various ahadith
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			talks about the rights and duties of husbands
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			and wives and at the beginning itself if
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			we actually look at how beautiful the example
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, it can
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			be understood with a hadith where the Prophet
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said the best of
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			you.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			Now he regarded category, right?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			He classified this category as the best.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			He said the best of you among all
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			are those who are best to their family
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			and I am best to my families.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Meaning that if you want to be regarded
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			as best, you do not need a bona
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			fide or certificate from an external party.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:04
			Your wife, your family should certify you as
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			the best person.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			Subhanallah, we may be very good outside with
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			others but when it comes to our own
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			family, we're not good you know at times.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			So we need to make sure that it
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			needs to be our own family that should
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			be our priority.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:20
			Subhanallah.
