Mufti 'Abdul Qayyoom رحمه الله was the Mufti of his time when he resided in Bhopal, India. When dealing with social issues, he was often called upon to deliver a verdict. At times, he could not arrive at a clear answer based on the teachings of Islaam. Without any hesitation or fear of being labelled, he would casually say to the disputing parties, "Please bear with me a minute." Sometimes, he would openly proclaim, "Wait a moment, while I seek the opinion of my wife."
He would then walk into his home and discuss the matter with his wife, who was the daughter of Shah Ishaq رحمه الله, a scholar of high repute. He would ask her whether she had heard any hadeeth from her father regarding the matter and what her opinion was. He would then return and deliver his verdict. [Jawahir Pare, vol 1, p177]
* Fortunate are those couples who are blessed with the opportunity of jointly serving humanity, due to the knowledge which Allaah سبحانه و تعالى has blessed them with.
* Wise parents invest in the religious and spiritual nurturing of their offspring.
* One of the greatest bounties that a man can have is a righteous wife.
Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam)
said: "Whoever Allah blesses with a pious
woman has in fact been helped by Allah with
half his Deen. So he should fear Allah
(struggle to achieve) regarding the other half
as well." [Majma Az-Zawa'id by Imam Al-
Haythami: Kanz-ul-Ammaal]
This hadith informs us of the importance of
having an Allah-fearing woman as one's
wife. Having such a wife has been equated
with having half of Eeman and Islam. Such a
woman is to be treasured for the benefits she
brings to her husband in this world and in the
next.
In this life she makes his home a peaceful
sanctuary for him. Her love and obedience
enables his family life to be spent pleasantly.
The children are brought up lovingly to be
righteous Muslims and they become Sadaqah
Jaariya for their parents.
The benefit a pious wife brings to her
husband's Akhirah is that she facilitates his
religious obligations. She encourages him to
be a better Muslim, to pray regularly, to
perform his prayers in the Masjid. If he is
involved in activities to earn Allah's pleasure
she doesn't bother him with demands. She
allows him to keep his focus on earning
Allah's pleasure.
She lives contentedly with his income and
doesn't goad him to increase their standard
of living by Haraam means. She doesn't
taunt him by saying things like, "Look at so-
and so's household, how comfortably they
live, how well they eat!" Instead, she thanks
Allah and her husband that he does not bring
ill-gotten wealth into the house.
A pious wife spends her time positively and
so the other members of the household also
learn from her example to utilize their time to
benefit their Akhirah. Since she doesn't
watch TV or movies, a lot of evil and un-
Islamic influences are kept at bay.
It is thus no wonder that Allah (subhana wa
ta'ala) says that a pious woman is half of
the Deen
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
