The responsibility of a husband in Islam: 🧵
◦The Prophet ﷺ stated: 'Man is the guardian of his family and every guardian has responsibilities towards those under his guardianship'

- Sahih Muslim
◦Caring for your wife and treating her well are among the responsibilities of a husband. She has needs and desires which are your job to handle. Taking good care of your wife will lead to your family and the upbringing of your children to be more successful.
◦Take care of her: You don’t own your wife, she has her own free will and you must honor her rights upon you. You must protect and preserve her always. Learn about the things she likes and prefers in order to be able to take care of her.
◦Be kind and loving: Women begin to depend on your affection so you must be compassionate towards her. Be aware of your words and actions, don’t neglect her because she trusts you. Always be kind to her and give her attention so she isn’t tempted to go seek it elsewhere.
◦"And one of His signs is that He created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest in them and He put between you love and compassion; most surely there are signs in this for a people who reflect." (30:21)
Be generous: Compliment her and call her when you are apart, spoil her occasionally with a gift or flowers.
◦Be respectful:Don't shout at her or disrupt her, show her more respect than you would any other person. Mutual respect will lead to a better relationship and in turn, a better home for your children
◦Control your anger:Manage your emotions so as not to misplace them on your wife. Don’t complain about things unnecessarily she is not your soundboard.
◦Obedience: Your wife will obey you depending on how you treat her, be loving and kind towards her and it will make her happy so she will want to please you by obeying you. Mistreat her and expect her to be unhappy and she won't want to obey you.
◦Trust: Don’t believe any slander you hear about your spouse, trust her over anyone else who tries to make false claims. Be aware of family members who might be jealous of your wife and try to ruin your relationship.
◦Discipline: When disagreements occur, refrain from acting superior to her even if you have the authority. She will be more willing to agree with you when you use understanding tones rather than threatening ones. Do not resort to physical harm when you argue.
◦ Be helpful:Your wife is willing enough to do the housework and take care of the children. Show your gratefulness to her efforts by helping her with housework as well.
◦Finance: You are responsible for managing the expenses and for providing the financial means to afford a living. Food, clothing, house needs and medical affairs are among the things you are bound by duty to provide.
Most Importantly, treat your wife the same way The Prophet ﷺ used to treat his wives as he is the best of mankind and the perfect role model.
