How to Make your Husband HAPPY......This is for the Married sista's......

 

 

The following article is a summary of the book "How to Make Your Husband Happy" by Sheikh Mohammed Abdelhaleem Hamed.

 

 

1. Beautiful Reception

 

After returning from work, school, travel, or whatever has separated you,

 

Begin with a good greeting.

 

Meet him with a cheerful face

 

Beautify and perfume yourself

 

Start with good news and delay any bad news until he has rested

 

Receive him with loving and yearning sentences

 

Make hard efforts for excellence of the food & having it ready on time.

 

2. Beautify and Soften the Voice

 

For your husband only, it shouldn't be used in front of non-mahram men (men who can marry you if you were unmarried)

 

3. Smelling Good and Physical Beautification

 

Take good care of your body and fitness.

 

Put on nice and attractive clothes and perfumes.

 

Bathe regularly and, after the monthly period, remove any blood traces or bad smells.

 

Avoid that your husband observes you in dirty clothes or rough shape

 

Avoid prohibited types of ornamentation, e.g. tatoos

 

Use the types of perfumes, colors, and clothes that the husband likes

 

Change hair style, perfumes, etc. from time to time However with these things you should avoid excessiveness and, of course only act as such in front of mahrem men and women.

 

4. Intercourse

 

Hasten for intercourse when your husband feels compulsion for it.

 

Keep your body clean and smelling good as possible including cleaning yourself of released fluids during intercourse.

 

Exchange loving phrases with your husband.

 

Leave your husband to fully satisfy his desire.

 

Choose suitable times and good occasions for exciting your husband and encouraging him to do intercourse, e.g. after returning from a travel, weekends, etc.

 

5. Satisfaction With What Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa) Has Allotted

 

You shouldn't be depressed because your husband is poor or works in a simple job

 

You should look at poor, sick, and handicapped people and remember Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aalaa) for all that was given to you.

 

You should remember that real wealth lies in faith and piety.

 

6. Indifference to Worldly Things

 

You should not consider this world as your hope and interest.

 

You should not ask your husband for many unnecessary things.

 

Asceticism does not mean not to enjoy what is good and permissible (Halal), but it means that one should look forward to the Hereafter and utilize whatever Allah SWT gave them to achieve paradise (Al-Jannah).

 

Encourage your husband to reduce expenses and save some money in order to give charity and feed poor and needy people.

 

7. Appreciation

 

By the saying of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), the majority of people in Hell were women because they were ungrateful and deny the good done to them.

 

The result of being grateful is that your husband will love you more and will do his best to please you in more ways

 

The result of being ungrateful is that your husband will be disappointed and will start asking himself: "Why should I do good to her, if she never appreciates?"

 

8. Devotion and Loyalty

 

In particular in times of calamities in your husband's body or business e.g. an accident or a bankruptcy

 

Supporting him through your own work, money, and properties if needed.

 

9. Compliance to Him

 

In all what he commands you, unless it is prohibited (Haram)

 

In Islam, the husband is the leader of the family, and the wife is his support and consultant.

 

10. Pleasing Him If He Is Angry

 

First off, try to avoid what will guarantee his anger. But if it happens that you can't, then try to appease him as follows:

 

If you were mistaken, then apologize

 

If he was mistaken then:

Keep still instead of arguing or

Yield you right or

Wait until he is no longer angry and discuss the matter peacefully with him.

 

If he was angry because of external reasons then:

Keep silent until his anger goes

Find excuses for him, e.g. tired, problems at work, someone insulted him

 

Do not ask many questions and insist on knowing what happened e.g.

1) You should tell me what happened!

2) I must know what made you so angry!

3) You are hiding something, and I have the right to know!

 

11. Guardianship While He is Absent

 

Protect yourself from any prohibited relations

 

Keep the secrets of the family, particularly intercourse and things that the husbands don't like other people to know.

13. Admirable Jealousy

 

Jealousy is a sign for wife's love for her husband but it should be kept within the limits of Islam, e.g. not insulting or backbiting others disrespecting them, etc…

 

You should not follow or create unfounded doubts.

 

14. Patience and Emotional Support

 

Be patient when you face poverty and strained circumstances.

 

When you face calamities and disasters that may happen to you, your husband, his and your children, relatives or properties, e.g. diseases, accidents, death, etc.

 

When facing hardships in Da'wah (imprisonment, getting fired, arrested etc.

 

Be patient and encourage him to keep on the path of Allah and remind him of Paradise.

 

When he mistreats you, counteract his ill-treatment by good treatment.

9. Financial Support

 

* The husband needs to be generous within his financial capabilities. He

should not be a miser with his money (nor wasteful).

* He gets rewards for all what he spends on her sustenance even for a

small piece of bread that he feeds her by his hand (hadeith).

* He is strongly encouraged to give to her before she asks him.

 

 

10. Smelling Good and Physical Beautification

 

* Following the Sunnah in removing hair from the groin and underarms.

* Always being clean and neat.

* Put on perfume for her.

 

11. Intercourse

 

* It is obligatory to do it habitually if you have no excuse (sickness,

etc.)

* Start with "Bismillah" and the authentic du'a.

* Enter into her in the proper place only (not the anus).

* Begin with foreplay including words of love.

* Continue until you have satisfied her desire.

* Relax and joke around afterwards.

* Avoid intercourse during the monthly period because it haram

* Do what you can to avoid damaging her level of Hiyaa (shyness and

modesty) such as taking your clothes together instead of asking her

to do it first while he is looking on.

* Avoid positions during intercourse that may harm her such as putting

pressure on her chest and blocking her breath, especially if you are

heavy.

* Choose suitable times for intercourse and be considerate as

sometimes she maybe sick or exhausted.

 

12. Guarding Privacy

 

* Avoid disclosing private information such as bedroom secrets, her

personal problems and other private matters.

* Wake her up in the last third of the night to pray "Qiam-ul-Layl"

(extra prayer done at night with long sujood and ruku'ua).

Also in this case the husband is encouraged to follow the sunnah

and keep giving what she used to give in her life to her friends and

family.

 

15. (Islamic) Training & Admonition

 

This includes

* The basics of Islam

* Her duties and rights

* Reading and writing

* Encouraging her to attend lessons and halaqahs

* Islamic rules (ahkam) related to women

* Buying Islamic books and tapes for the home library

 

16. Admirable Jealousy

 

* Ensure she is wearing proper hijab before leaving house.

* Restrict free mixing with non-mahram men.

* Avoiding excess jealousy. Examples of this are:

1- Analyzing every word and sentence she says and overloading

her speech by meanings that she did not mean

2- Preventing her from going out of the house when the reasons are

just.

3- Preventing her from answering the phone.

4- etc.

 

17. Patience and Mildness

 

* Problems are expected in every marriage so this is normal. What is

wrong is excessive responses and magnifying problems until a marital

breakdown.

* Anger should be shown when she exceeds the boundaries of Allah SWT, by

delaying prayers, backbiting, watching prohibited scenes on TV, etc..

* Forgive the mistakes she does to you (See item 18).

* How can you best correct her mistakes?

1- First, implicit and explicit advice several times.

2- Then by turning your back to her in bed (displaying your feelings).

Note that this does not include leaving the bedroom to another room,

leaving the house to another place, or not talking with her.

3- The last solution is lightly hitting (when allowable) her. In this

case, the hsuband should consider the following:

- He should know that sunnah is to avoid beating as the Prophet

PBUH never beat a woman or a servant.

- He should do it only in extreme cases of disobedience, e.g.

refusing intercourse without cause frequently, constantly not

praying on time, leaving the house for long periods of time

without permission nor refusing to tell him where she had been,

etc..

- It should not be done except after having turned from her bed and

discussing the matter with her as mentioned in Qur'an .

- He should not hit her hard injuring her, or hit her on her face or

on sensitive parts of her body.

- He should avoid shaming her such as by hitting her with a shoe,

etc.

 

18. Pardoning and Appropriate Censure

 

* Accounting her only for larger mistakes.

* Forgive mistakes done to him but account her for mistakes done in

Allah's rights, e.g. delaying prayers, etc..

* Remember all the good she does whenever she makes a mistake.

* Remember that all humans err so try to find excuses for her such as

maybe she is tired, sad, having her monthly cycle or that her

commitment to Islam is growing.

* Avoid attacking her for the bad cooking of the food as the Prophet PBUH

never blamed any of his wives for this. If he likes the food, he eats

and if he doesn't then he does not eat and does not comment.

* Before declaring her to be in error, try other indirect approaches that

are more subtle than direct accusations

* Escape from using insults and words that may hurt her feelings.

* When it becomes necessary to discuss a problem wait until you have

privacy from others.

* Waiting until the anger has subsided a bit can help to keep a control

on your words.
