Praise be to ALLAH, we seek His
help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with ALLAH from the evil of our own
souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever ALLAH guides will never be led astray,
and whomsoever ALLAH leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there
is no god but ALLAH, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and
Messenger.

like a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you want to get
benefit from her, do so while she still has some bent.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `Whoever believes
in ALLAH and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And I advise
you to take care of women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked
portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will
break, and if you leave it, it will reamin crooked, so I urge you to take care
of women. [Bukhari]

`O Abdullah! Have I not been informed that you fast all the day and stand in
prayer all night?' I said, `Yes, O ALLAH's Apostle!' He said, `Do not do that!
Observe the fast sometimes and also leave them at other times; stand up for the
prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you and your
wife has a right over you.'" [Bukhari]
Narrated Ibn Umar: "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, `All of you are

responsible for your wards.'"
Men should forbear any shortcomings of women in view of the following verse of
Quran:
Live with them in kindness; even if you dislike them, perhaps you dislike
something in which God has place much good. Quran [4 : 19]
