Mufti Menk – When the two seas meet! Being the best mother in law

			Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh my brothers and sisters, many people speak about
relationships between the in laws, the daughter in law, the mother in law, that's relationship
number one primary source of a lot of problems in marriages. Many times there is no problem between
husband and wife. But because of a relationship between wife and mother of the husband, or husband
and mother of the wife, there becomes a problem. So I've spoken about this in the past, there are
good people on all sides, shade line is bad. And sometimes we are not coached, we don't know how to
treat our mother in law or daughter in law. And I'm not saying either one is right or wrong, but
		

			general advice. So when I was recently in Dubai, I was given a book by one of my friend's brother,
Mohammed Rafi. And it was it's actually compiled Subhana layerable. And I mean, by
		

			Mohammed. And this is an amazing book, I don't usually promote books, unless I find that they are
really, really amazing.
		

			And so this is a very brief small guide. It says, when the two seas meet, building bonds, excelling
in the role of mother in law, Subhanallah, and I'm sure there will be another one soon, excelling in
the role of daughter in law. So this book, this book, actually has, in it, a lot of good guidance,
how to welcome your daughter in law, how to look at her what to say, what not to say what to do,
what not to do your limits, and your lines. And I feel it's a very, very good read for mothers in
law, so much so that I think I'm going to gift this book, at the time of marriage to the people to
read
		

			wherever I can, and Sharla because it's really important, you know, where the, when the two seas
meet, beautiful, beautiful title two seas, you're both our seas in their own way, right? And it says
building bonds excelling in the role of mother in law, Mashallah My beloved sister who has actually
done this, I really feel that you deserve credit. And that's the reason why I am promoting this
book. And I did inquire where it's available. It's available on Amazon. Let me just read for you
what it says at the back here.
		

			It says you from mother to mother in law.
		

			Being a good mother in law is challenging, especially since this role is pivotal in maintaining
healthy family dynamics. In order to be a good mother in law, you need to deeply introspect and look
within to create a legacy of goodness and to lead the life a life of sincerity, abundance and
happiness. Within this book lies a treasure chest of heart touching reminders that aim to strengthen
your ability to communicate effectively, according to the Islamic perspective, and bring you closer
to Allah to Allah. Sister Mumtaz, Rafi, Mohammed beautiful Mashallah. So I would suggest we get this
from Amazon soft copy or hard copy. If you're in the UAE I'm sure you'd be able to get a hard copy
		

			very quickly and even elsewhere in the world. And I'm looking forward to your sister for the next
book, which says, which I'm hoping would say excelling in the role of daughterinlaw perhaps the same
title. May Allah bless you guys as salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
