Best Conduct with wife: The criterion of Wilaayat (Friendship of Allah)
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
Condition: I am trying to live lovingly with my wife.
Answer: The touchstone (Gauge) of wilâyat (close friendship with Allâh
Ta’ala) is good treatment with one’s wife. A person may offer thousands of tahajjud, recitation of the Qur’ân and dhikr, but if
he causes any pain to his wife, all these acts of worship are gone
in vain.
You should therefore be mindful of not causing the
least harm to her. You should make such efforts of acquiring
beauty in your relationship with her that you become a total
embodiment of beauty.
A Hadîth states: “The best of you is he
who is the best in his treatment to his wife. And I am the best of
you in my treatment to my wife.”
