💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Your value as a wife isn't measured by how much money or gold your husband can provide you. What makes your marriage blessed isn't financial stability or affluence but through this destined bond you're able to practice gratitude, patience and contentment. Part of being your husband's loyal wife is to avoid overspending as much as possible. Instead of spending above your means or demanding an extravagantly luxurious lifestyle, try to be content with whatever allowance your husband is capable of giving you, and learn to appreciate the good things in life that are simple. This is for every wife whose husband is employed in a faraway city or country, who is currently struggling financially trying to ensure all his debts are paid fully, who is active in the field of Da'wah volunteering in charitable projects regularly, or who in a polygynous marriage is doing whatever he can to look after his multiple wives fairly.
Wives whose husbands are well-off but they're too selfish, negligent or miserly to at least meet their families' basic needs should remind their husbands about the importance of taking care of one's household responsibly. To avoid being the recipient of abuse in any way, the wife must speak to her soulmate calmly and respectfully. If he doesn't change his ways, she shouldn't be too quick to give up on him but include him in her Du'as, praying to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala to soften his heart and help him realize what his responsibilities are as a loving Muslim husband.
Whenever you and your spouse go through any trial or challenging moment, remind yourself of the virtues of patience, how the wives of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam survived with a simple lifestyle, and look forward to everlasting bliss in Jannah Paradise where all worldly worries can be forgotten.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "If I were to order anyone to prostrate to another, I would have ordered a wife to prostrate before her husband."

Ali al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah."
