| many of us have
heard stories of men treating their wives badly as if they were slaves of an
oppressive master. islam has forbidden such conduct, and the last command of the
prophet was, " ... act kindly towards women." [bukhari and muslim]
we should be gentle
to our wives, treat them nicely and respect them, particularly in front of the
children. the prophet said, "the most perfect of the believers in faith is
he who is the most excellent of them in morals and the best of you are they who
are best for their wives." [tirmidhi]
we should not look
for perfection in this universe; but accept what is best! there is no need to
demand perfection from our wives while we are drowned in our own flaws. the
prophet said, "a believer must not hate a believing woman. if he dislikes
any of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another one." [reported
by muslim]
