28 Tips You Need To Be
Հաջողակ (մահմեդական) Ամուսին!
– Yusuf Estes

NOTE from Yusuf Estes: Marriage in Islam is considered “Half the Deen” (an important part of our way as a Muslim).
Yet we are seeing failures in marriages all around us. Family fights are on the rise, women and children are being abused and many families are falling apart. More and more marriages are ending up in divorce even amongst the most religious of families, and the Muslims are no exception.
So many marriages are failing these days, even amongst the most religious of families, and Muslims are no exception.
This greatly saddens me and I hope by publishing this article here on our website, we might come to a better understanding and better relationship with our spouses, inshallah.

Here are just a few tips and at the end I am offering a number of sources for details and follow-up.

1. Քույրեր & Եղբայրներ These tips are for the Believers – Male & Female. Այսպիսով, both of you, make Du’a to Allah to make your marriage and relationship successful – We all know, as believers, all good things are from Allah. Never forget to ask Allah for the blessing of having a successful marriage that begins in this world and continues on – into Paradise, inshallah.

2. Listen and obey – ԱՍՏՎԱԾ! (and then each other) – First rule of obedience is to Allah, and then the wife to the husband (Quran chapter 4, չափածո 34). Obeying your husband is obligatory! But what about the husband? Doesn’t he have to obey?

Քույրեր: Your husband is the Ameer (head) of the household. Give him his rights and respect, and Allah will give you your rights.

Եղբայրներ: First rule of obedience for you is, after Allah and His messenger, who has the most rights? (Քո մայրը, your mother, your mother and then your father). After your parents, ԱՀԿ? Your wife (don’t pretend you didn’t know this).
Same surah, same ayah – Read:

Ղուրան (Surah An-Nisaa’ chapter 4, The Women, չափածո 34):
Տղամարդիկ (males) are responsible for women (females) because of what Allah has given one over the other (մեջ strength) եւ նրանք (males) spend (համարfemales սպասարկում) from their wealth. So righteous women are obedient (դեպի Աստված), հսկողություն (ամուսիններ) absence what Allah wants them to guard. But for those (կանայք) from whom you observe arrogance and refusal, խրատել նրանց; (if they persist), leave their beds; և (lastly), tap (percuss) նրանց. But if they comply, seek no further means against them. Իսկապես, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

3. Be Pleasing To Each Other – After what pleases Allah, always seek to please your spouse, this is your key to Jennah.

Քույրեր: Մուհամմադ մարգարե (խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա) taught us that any woman who dies in a state that her husband is pleased with her, she shall enter Paradise. Այսպիսով, try your best to please him (even when you think it is not worth it – it is still worth it)

Եղբայրներ: Did you read the way our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, dealt with his family? Wake Up! You must follow his way in helping with cooking, cleaning and taking care of your own clothes (he did it, you can do it too).

4. Do not get Angry – Arguments a fire in your home – put out the fire as fast as possible. Our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, ասաց, “Do not become angry! Do not become angry! Do not become angry!” And he told us anger is from the devil (shayton) and the shayton runs through your body like your blood when you become angry.

Քույրեր: You already know men have a hard time admitting they are wrong. Իրականում, some men refuse to say it, and this is very dangerous for them, but also for you too. Be careful not to force the issues with him when he is upset. Treat him like the baby that he is imitating. Իսկապես, just take it easy and keep your cool. Allah will reward you and inshallah, Allah will guide your husband back on track.

Եղբայրներ: You know you are not perfect. Come on now, admit it and get it over with. Ասա, “I am sorry”. You can be the one to extinguish the fire of shayton in your home with a simple ‘I’m sorry’ even if you think it is not your fault.
When you fight back, you are only adding wood to the fire. Watch how sweetly an argument will end when you just say sincerely, «Look, I’m sorry. Թող գնա.»

5. Ասա, “Շնորհակալություն” to your spouse constantly for the nice things done nicely.

Քույրեր: Մարգարե, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, taught us; “Whoever does not thank the people, does not thank Allah“. Այսպիսով, just go ahead and say, “Thanks honey” and even add “Good job” կամ “Լավ արեցիք”. This is one of the most important techniques. Remember ungratefulness (opposite) is a characteristic of the people of hellfire. May Allah save all of us from that, ամեն.

Եղբայրներ: When was the last time you said, “Thank you honey” to your wife for cleaning house, washing clothes, ironing, bathing the children, taking them to school, teaching them things? You say, “But she does that every day” — And that is the point! She is doing this day after day – But where is the pay? Give her something to make her feel worthwhile, say it!

6. Enjoy games, playing and joking around with your spouse:

Քույրեր: You can play some jokes on your husband, but don’t lie or hurt his feelings. Men look for seek women who are light-hearted and have a sense of humor.

Եղբայրներ: Our Prophet (խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա) told Jabir, թող Ալլահը գոհ լինի նրանից, “Marry someone who makes you laugh and you make her laugh”.

7. Dress up for each other and look sharp. Islam encourages us to look and act our best in front of everyone, especially loved ones.

Քույրեր: Wear nice jewelry and dress-up at home for your husband. From the early years, young girls adorned themselves with earrings and bracelets and wore nice dresses – as described in the Qur’an. As a wife, you should continue to use the jewelry and the nice dresses for your husband.

Եղբայրներ: Do you think only sisters need to “dress-up”? What about our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա? He wore his nicest clothes, he even made sure to wash his own garments. And what about smells? You know how important fragrance is. Don’t ever let her smell your stinky sweat. She smells nice for you, so at least put on nice fragrance for her – you do it at the mosque, ճիշտ?

8. Be like the people of Paradise – Act right, think right and look right (try this tip today)

Քույրեր: Do you know about the characteristics of the Hoor Al-Ayn (women of paradise)? Islam describes these women with certain characteristics. They wear silk, have beautiful, dark eyes, և այլն. Here are some ideas: Try it, wear silk for your husband, put eye make-up for your eyes to ‘enlarge’ them, and be sweet to your husband.

Եղբայրներ:
Where are your spouses going to get the fine silk dresses, provocative lingerie, sweet fragrance and makeup? Quran tells us (Սուրա 4, չափածո 34 – above) You are the one responsible to provide – so get with it and start providing.

9. Spread “Խաղաղություն” amongst yourselves. This is in Islam for sure. The Quran talks about it, and our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, ասաց, “You will not enter Paradise until you believe and you will not believe, until you love each another. Shall I direct you to the way to love each other? Spread the “salams” (խաղաղություն) between you.” – narrated by Abu Hurairah

Քույրեր: When your spouse comes home, give each other the most wonderful greeting of a Muslim – “Salam alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatahu” Խաղաղություն, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be to you, (and remember to smile).

Եղբայրներ: You give the “salams” to everyone you see, even brothers you just met. Իրականում, you are careful to give anyone you just met good salams – ճիշտ? But what about your wife? The mother of your children? The one who is making dua for you every day and night? Do you give the proper salams to her, when you should? Entering and leaving the house? When you enter or leave a room?

10. Smile – It costs nothing and buys everything! Who can resist a nice, big, happy smile? It even makes me smile to think about it.

Քույրեր: Our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, taught us; The smile in the face of our fellow Muslim is an act of charity. So you can keep peace in your family, make a sweet feeling in your home, get rewarded by Allah and maybe even a nice smile back.
Think how your husband would feel if he came in and found your nice clean home, his wife looking nicely dressed and made up for him, a nice dinner prepared with care, children cleaned up and welcoming him home. It really does help, even if he doesn’t say so.

Եղբայրներ: When was the last time you smiled at your wife? Can you recall the last time you brought home some flowers, chocolates, a small gift (nothing wrong with a nice of jewelry brother)?

11. Work! Դա ճիշտ է, you have family jobs. Get to work your house, your children, your duties to your wife and family.

Քույրեր: Look around you. What is that stack of clothes all about? How come there is so much clutter in the kitchen? The bedroom looks like someone slept in it? (you did) The hallway looks like a storage building. Forget laundry room. Ոչ, the TV doesn’t need you – the house needs you.

Եղբայրներ: What about lending a hand for the hard stuff? Why not take some time to clean up the bathroom or basement or attic? Դու գիտես, the hard to reach places and the places where spiders, bugs and insects collect? What would this do to her love for you? Now imagine what if you just bust in the door, shouting orders, complaining about your hard day at work and don’t even notice how much she has to do every day.

12. Attraction – Allah Tells us in Quran, He made one male and from him the first female and made all people from them. You know how it works. Charm is the key to attraction. Kindness and understanding are the keys to charm. Այսպիսով, be kind to each other and use your attraction to bring your hearts together.

Քույրեր: Use your ‘«…որ մի անգամ Մարգարեն նրա տանը էր’ to win the heart of your husband. Every woman has Blessings from Allah, including the “beauties” և “ornaments” that attract men. But then you already know that, don’t you?
լավ – So USE THEM.
Your hair, your eyes, your smile (mentioned above, հիշիր) and your clothes (and the way you wear them), all these can work together to help bring out the man you really want. You know what he likes and get all “fuzzy” in the head. Go straight for the heart.

Եղբայրներ: She did not marry a couch potatoe. She is looking for that cute guy you were when she accepted the marriage proposal. Where is that guy? The nice clothes, shiny shoes, clean smell, soft words, դու գիտես – (the way you were).

 

լավ – Next we see eight tips about what weakens the marriage and eight tips to strengthen the marriage.

8 Things Which Weaken The Marriage:

1) Misbehaving – saying bad or hateful things, making bad jokes and insulting each other.

2) Ignore – not replying back to the “salams” or giving each other the good ear to listen and share.

3) Lying – Allah forbids the believers to lie. There is no room in Islam for liars, and may Allah save us from this evil, ամեն.

4) Breaking Promises – Keeping a trust is also an important characteristic of a believer.

5) Avoiding Contact – You hug the brothers at the mosque, but what about a “little hug” with your wife? Come on, you can do it.

6) Suspicion & Հետախուզություն – ովքեր նախկինում կատարել են այս հանցագործությունը, “Ով հավատացյալներ, avoid much suspicion. Certainly suspicion is sinful. And don’t spy or backbite each other. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of your dead brother. You would hate it. Fear Allah’s punishment. For sure Allah is the Acceptor of repentance, The Merciful.” [Ղուրան 49: 12]

7) Too Busy – Take time for each other. You have rights on each other. Give everyone their rights and you will be given your rights.

8) Leaving the worship – Allah will never be pleased with someone who leaves His guidance and does not worship Him. This will cause Muslim families serious problems and even to split up, faster than anything.

8 Things Which Strengthen The Marriage:

1) Good Attitude – A Muslim must always have a positive attitude toward life. We say, “Al Hamdulillah” (Praise be to Allah) for whatever He gives us (or doesn’t give us).

2) Օգնություն – Our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, stressed the importance of men helping their wives and Allah tells us the importance of women being mates and helpers to their husbands. This is a real “win-win” situation, if we just follow it.

3) Վստահություն – մահմեդականներ, men and women are ordered to be trustworthy and follow the example of our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, as the “Trustworthy”.

4) Հարգանք – You get respect, when you give respect. This is mandatory for all Muslims toward all people, how much more toward the spouse?

5) Ուրախություն – Our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, used to entertain his wife, Ayesha and she used to play and race with him. Նա ասաց, “I used to out-run him, but then when I got heavy he used to outrun me”. He told us to play with our wives.

6) Ներում – Clearly, this is one of the most important aspects of Islam. Whoever does not forgive – will not be forgiven. This comes from Allah, Himself. We must learn to forgive each other’s mistakes so we won’t it against us.

7) ՆԿԱՐԵՔ ԻՐԱԿԱՆ ՍԻՐՈ ԳՈՒՅՔՆԵՐԸ – Spend time, alone – միասին. Go for walks. Take a bus ride. Visit a friend or someone who is ill (you get big rewards for that). Fast together on Mondays & Thursdays if you can. Make hajj – this is a great way to get a “new start” on life. Վստահի՛ր ինձ.

8) Worship – connection with Allah through ritual of prayer, petition and peace while moving together in the salat is something a non-Muslim can never really appreciate. Our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, used to lead his wife in salat, even though he lived connected to the mosque. He told us not to make our homes like grave yards. We should offer some of our sunnah prayers at home. A sister gains the most rewards at home, in her room, behind a screen.

Եղբայրներ & Քույրեր – Allah tells us what to do with the problems we just can’t seem to solve. It is in the very next verse after the one above, in Surah An-Nisaa’. Read…

And if you fear fighting between the two (married couple), appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them. Իսկապես, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things].
Quran Chapter 4, չափածո 35

The meaning here is most clear to me – DON’T BREAK UP – JUST WAKE UP! & GET SOME HELP!

It is obvious that shayton wants you to break up communication, break up the dishes, break up the furniture, break up the relationship, break up the family, break up the children’s future…

But don’t do it. Follow what Allah tells us and consider what our prophet, խաղաղություն լինի նրա վրա, showed us with his life. Did he give up on the relationship with his wife? (ոչ); Did he divorce his wife? (ոչ); Did he scream at his wife? (ոչ); Did he ever hit his wife? (ոչ); Did he suspect or accuse his wife of something bad, when people came up with bad stories against her? (ոչ).
Բայց, was he patient when his wife played a tricks on him? (Այո՛). [Read about the “մեղր” in surah At-Tahreem, chapter 66]
