The merits of Marriage
by Khutbah by Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-Qaasim
O Muslims! The family is the foundation of the community, and from it nations are produced which then spread and increase. The core of the family is the husband and wife; Allah says that (which translates as): ?O Mankind! Indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another...? (Al-Hujuraat: 13).
Allah has made the family a place where people resort to for peace, tranquillity and stability. Marriage is the means to increasing the population of the earth, to attain tranquillity of the heart and to enjoy the pleasures of life. The marital home organises ones life and establishes chastity and protection; Allah has made marriage a way of joining different and distant families; Allah assured us that this is a sure way of increasing ones provisions, as He says that which translates as: ?... If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty ...? (An-Noor: 32).
Married couples have many worries, but good treatment and kindness to each other make them disappear; Allah says that which translates as: ?...And live with them [i.e., your spouses) in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good? (An-Nisaa?: 19).
The condition of one?s family is constantly fluctuating between calm and complaint and contentment and discontent; man should always forgive mistakes and overlook shortcomings and be kind and compassionate, because woman was created from a bent rib. It is by persevering and being patient through that which the husband hates of the wife?s behaviour that things improve. The Prophet (PBUH) said: ?Take good care of women, for they were created from a bent rib, and the most curved part of it is its top; if you try to straighten it you will break it, and if you leave it, it will remain arched, so take good care of women.? (Bukhari & Muslim).
Whoever comes from a kind and compassionate background will have a tender heart and so such men must bear in mind that their wife is the one who gave birth to his children, takes care of his wealth and maintains his secrets.
So be kind to your wives and openly express your joy for smiling livens the heart and wipes away hatred and praising the wife for her appearance, cooking and adornment wins her heart. Moreover, Islam has allowed husbands to lie to their wives in order to increase the love between them.
