Below I'd like to share a Few of the Honest facts about This
Marriages and family lives of righteous Muslims who Allah has enabled me to
glean during the analysis of His Novel and of their seerah of Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him), such as the lives of a number of his partners.
Struggling & Differences
I've learnt this, even if both the husband and wife are
extremely Righteous and Allah-fearing, it isn't feasible for their wedded life
to become devoid of differences as well as also the occasional fighting.
A happy marriage between two thirds individuals doesn't
imply An entire absence of disagreements and fighting between these, nor can it
be true that neither partner won't ever dislike something about another.
After marriage, each husband-wife duo Will Need to reside
Through a few days in which they're extremely angry at their spouse; ticked off
about something that the latter said or did.
Being human, Most of Us have flaws, and Most of Us make
Errors, and after marriage, our sins and mistakes do hurt our partner -- the 1
person who resides with us day in and day out.
Several examples of the glaring reality of union viz. The
existence of arguments between righteous wives and husbands exist in the Quran
and sunnah.
The first case is that of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
Him and his grandparents, when he once became so mad whatsoever, that he
pledged not to talk to or see any one of these for a month. This episode
created quite a furor at Madinah and shows us that, despite the fact that the
Prophet and his wives were the most populous of the ummah, and all of these
were destined to get Jannah, their wedded lives weren't without the occasional
conflicts and undercurrents of anger.
There were even days Once the Prophet's wives got mad with
Him, as demonstrated by another appropriate hadith that cites how, during these
times, when Aisha daughter of Abu Bakr will be mad with her husband, she would
swear by Allah by stating, "From the Lord of Ibrahim", rather than,
"From the Lord of Muhammad", the latter being her regular taste.
Another narration cites how his wife Hafsah bint 'Umar confessed to not
speaking to him occasionally during the afternoon, facing her dad 'Umar (may
Allah be happy with them all).
Another famous incident That's quoted in sahih ahadith,
Cites how Ali ibn Abi Talib obtained his nickname 'Abu Turab' out of his
father-in-law, the Prophet. Ali once abandoned his house in a huff after a
disagreement with his wife, Fatimah daughter of Muhammad (may Allah be
delighted with them both), and put down to the dusty masjid floor to ensure a
number of his clothes/body got coated in dust.
That is indicative of how the joyful marriage of Ali and
Fatimah, among the most righteous married couples in Islamic background, wasn't
devoid of disagreements either.
A significant thing to notice about this episode is that
even Although the Prophet clearly found that Ali was mad, he fondly called him
with a nickname (possibly to appease him?) , meaning that the elderly, close
relatives of their quarreling married couple (particularly their parents and
parents-in-law) shouldn't make a huge hullabaloo in their occasional trivial
tiffs, unless the fighting becomes serious in character.
Hardship & Scarcity of Resources
The following fact based on actual life, which my research
of this Quran and sunnah have educated me over time, about unions involving
spouses that are Spartan, is that they're almost always analyzed from the
afflictions of desire, hardship and/or straitened financial conditions.
It's true that Prophet Muhammad intentionally chose to
reside A lifetime of poverty, even though having complete access to worldly
tools which could let him live like a wealthy king (particularly later on in
his lifetime), and all of his wives encouraged him in this selection.
Allah had really shown Quranic Verses offering his
grandparents an option: either they pick Allah and (remaining married to) His
Messenger whilst residing in hardship, or else they go to the luxuries of the
worldly life. They all unanimously picked the latter, without hesitation.
But, there are several other cases also. The Quran has Made
praiseworthy mention of a Muslim couple throughout the time of their Prophet,
who admired and cared for their sudden overnight guest to such a level, that
they both consented to forfeit the sole single meal in their home that night,
that had been booked only for their kids, so as to serve it for their guest.
They switched off the lamp before eating so that their guest wouldn't find out
that they weren't eating anything.
Sahih Muslim has also recorded a narration concerning It
incident. The Arabic term that Allah uses from the Quran to explain their
position is "khasasah", which implies, poverty, or dire need.
Whichever the age in time because Islam came to the world, 1
continuous thing I have observed from the biographical accounts of the lives of
the pious predecessors (al-salaf al-salih) is that they suffered hunger and
poverty.
Young singles of the ummah that Want to Marry somebody
righteous and henceforth live a lifetime on the Deen of Islam, should
consequently be forewarned that the trial of poverty and hunger may encounter
from Allah as a trial of their union, but to remember that, because it's the
sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, it certainly has a great deal of good inside.
If the husband and wife Have the Ability to weather this
particular trial with Patience and righteousness, they'll emerge from it
stronger and nearer to Allah, both as a few in addition to people, Insha’Allah.

Separation by Extended Distance
Last, yet another stressful experience That Lots of real
life Unions suffer, particularly those involving righteous couples, has been
divided for quite a very long time from the path/for the sake of Allah.
A lot of time, if her husband is an da’ee who Is involved
with the propagation of Allah's Deen, a spouse is going to need to endure days,
weeks or even months or even years without him in home, residing either with
his extended family or just with her kids, independently, occupied raising
their next creation.
But, It's not just du’at whose Unions are analyzed from the
separation of husband and wife for extended times. Occasionally, once the
husband loses his job (that happens a lot, in most unions, cue point number two
above) along with the household is direly in need of an income, the sole job
offer that Allah may send his way might be in a different town or country.
But, modern government-enforced immigration and visa
Limitations in addition to other variables linked to the schooling/upbringing
of the kids, occasionally stop a spouse from joining her husband at another
state where he functions, resulting in weeks or even months of separation, that
requires a toll on their marriage.
The prime example of the in Islamic background, whence a
Righteous couple suffered a stressful separation for the sake of Allah, is that
of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) along with his wife Hajar. He abandoned
her and their baby son Ismael from the bare and desolate valley of Makkah, in
the command of Allah, so that it could eventually become occupied as well as
the home of Allah may be constructed there.
Any modern-day Muslim couple who wishes to marry a righteous
Individual and finally live a married life based on superlative heights of both
taqwa, piety, and religion, should remember the marital struggles faced by our
pious predecessors and how they confronted the issues after becoming married
together with exemplary patience (sabr).
The route to Jannah is Thorny, but using a righteous partner
by the side, it gets simpler to tread Than once trodden alone.
