WOMEN ARE HELPMATES AND PARTNERS OF MEN, NOT SLAVES. It is really very depressing and appalling to know that many Muslim husbands have become outright callous in their treatment of their wives and children. It is outrageous to say the least to hear how men neglect their duties in the home and become totally non- chalant and indifferent to the plight of their suffering and practically enslaved wives. The reality of many so-called Muslim homes are very troubling and pathetic. One wonders if some of these men have conscience at all. Havent they learnt a bit of kindness in their lives or they just choose to be cruel and unkind. Havent they heard or read of the practical example of the Prophet s.a.w. himself - the way he treated his wives with so much care, love, kindness, mercy, generosity, humility, tolerance, sympathy, empathy and magnanimity?. Didnt they ever come across his message in his last sermon to the men on how to treat the women under them with much kindness? Dont they know that for him o have remembered to mention and emphasize it in his last sermon to humanity, the matter must be dead serious? Didnt his Lord inspire him to inform us that the best of men are those who are best to their wives and families? Why is it that some men today are more interested in their rights and authority as the husband while they neglect their duties and responsibilities to their wives and children? Do these men truly fear Allah and the Day that they shall be called to account for their deeds on earth? Do they have a ready way out or a means of escape from Allahs wrath or they just choose to deceive themselves? Some of these men have never being to the market before or buy things to bring home for their families. And when they leave money for family shopping it is ever hardly enough to cater for a small fraction of the needs even though they have enough to spend on their families. Some of them are good at taking care of friends and coworkers but are terrible when it comes to caring for their wives at home. They patronise eateries and restaurants while they go home to complain of lack of money. They burden their wives with all the chores and taking care of the children without ever offering a helping hand. They sit in front of the TV screen or press their phones or computers tirelessly while the wife struggles to cook, tidy up, breastfeed the baby, help the kids with homework from school all at the same time. They consider themselves too big or too pious to help with chores yet they complain of their food being late. They scold and rebuke their wives endlessly not caring about their feelings or emotional needs yetwhen night falls they cant wait to pounce on the same wife that they have terribly, callously and shamelessly abused the whole day like fierce tiger or hungry wolf to satisfy their urge, and they cannot take a NO for an answer no matter how fagged out or exhausted the wife may be. They are cruel to the extreme and heartless for they lack basic human feelings. They have succeeded in enslaving the free servants of Allah while they claim to be believers in Tawheed. They are farthest from the example and sunnah of Muhammad s.a.w. while they claim to be adherents of the sunnah. They only ridicule the ayaahs of Allah and make jest of the sunnah though they know not. They await Allahs retribution for He is a just Lord who never wrongs any soul but the unjust souls wrong themselves. They will be covered with the darkness of dhulm (wrongdoing) except they repent and mend their ways before death arrives unexpectedly. For our Prophet has said that the best of men are those who are the best to their wives. It only follows that the worst to their wives and families should be among the worst of men in the hereafter. May Allah rectify our affairs in this ummah. Ameen.
