1.) Use your ‘Fitnah’ (beauty and overtures of allurement) to win the heart of your husband. All women have the ornaments that Allah blessed them with.   Use the beauty Allah SWT has bestowed you with to win the heart of your husband. Dress up for your husband at home. Wear the colours and clothes that he likes to see you in and use makeup, perfume, jewellery - in short, whatever it takes to be attractive to him.

Don’t treat her like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus on that.    4.) If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment! This is one of the ways Rasulullah SAW

Happy Ever After Salam, got this interesting story in my e-mail today... A love story with a touchable ending..  When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. A g ain I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?  I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!  With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she co
