Respect of the elder brother

Along with parents, other close relatives such as brothers and
sisters should also be respected. After the father, the grandfather
and elder brother are closer as the elder brother is like the
father. The Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “The right of
an elder brother upon his younger brother is like the right
which a father has upon his children.” (Shu’ubul-Imaan, Hadith
7929, V6, P210, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Respect of Relatives

All relatives should be treated nicely. Sayyiduna Aasim radi allahu anhu
narrates that the Holy Prophet of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
“Whoever wants a long life, increase in his sustenance and
protection from bad death, should fear Allah and treat his
relatives politely.” (Mustadrak, Hadith 7280, V4, P97, Dar-ul-Kutubul
Ilmiyyah Beirut)
The beloved of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “The one who
breaks relations will not enter the Heaven.” (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith
5984, V7, P95, Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)

Reconcile with Relatives

Dear Islamic Brothers! The people who break relations with
their relatives on trivial matters should learn a lesson from the
foregoing narration. Such people should approach their relatives
and offer reconciliation themselves with humility even if the
relatives are at fault for the quarrel. However, if there is a Shari’
reason preventing you from reconciliation with them, so you
should refrain from doing so. With the blessings of travelling
in the Madani Qafilas every month, filling in the Madani
In’aamaat card and handing it in to the relevant responsible
Islamic brother at the end of every Islamic month,
for the sake of the Beloved sallallahu alaihi wasallam , you will get such
spirit of respecting Muslims in your heart that all of your
differences and quarrels with your family & relatives will be
settled andthey will also join the Madani environment
of Dawat-e-Islami.

Created from a Crooked Rib

A husband should treat his wife nicely and deal with her wisely.
Our Holy Prophetsallallahu alaihi wasallam  said, “Woman has been
created from a rib and you cannot straighten her. If you wish
to get benefit from her, you can do so with her crookedness. If
you try to straighten her, you will break her and breaking a
woman means divorcing her.” (Sahih Muslim, V1, P475, Afghanistan)

The Excellence of Gentleness towards Wife

We therefore realise that some of her habits will be displeasing,
but the husband should always remain patient and tolerant.
The Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “Amongst the true
believers is he who possesses a nice character and is the most
gentle with his wife.” (Jami’ Tirmizi, Hadith 2621, V4, P278, Dar-ul-
Fikr Beirut)

Do not leave the home of even a Cruel Husband

Those women who frequently fall out with their husbands over
small matters and go to their parent’s home should listen
attentively and try to act upon the following blessed Hadith
with heart and soul. The Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
“And (the wife) must not leave the house of her (husband)
without his permission. If she does so, until she does not
repent, Allah and His (innocent) angels send curse upon
her.” Someone asked, “Even if the husband is cruel?” The Holy
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied, “Even if he is cruel.” (Kanzul-
Ummal, Hadith 44801, V16, P114, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilmiyyah Beirut)

Rights of the Husband

The wife should also treat her husband in a good manner. The
Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “I swear by the One under
Whose Omnipotence my life is, if there are wounds, in the
husband's body from foot to head, from which pus and blood
flow, and the woman licks them, still she has not fulfilled the
husband’s rights.” (Musnad Imaam Ahmad, Hadith 12614, V4, P318,
Dar-ul-Fikr Beirut)
