💌 Seven things which can make your husband happy and grateful to Allah the Almighty for having you as his faithful wife, besides trying to look good, cooking for him regularly and mentioning him in your loving Du’as frequently:
1] Making him feel appreciated. Thanking him on a regular basis for the big favors and little things he does.
2] Making him feel and sense that you truly trust him, that you don’t suspect his moves or find the need to constantly check on his cellphones and whereabouts etc.
3] Laughing at his jokes or finding his efforts to make you laugh adorable, or returning his comical remarks with similarly playful comments without purposely hurting his feelings – because you respect him.
4] Trying your best to deal with his loved ones kindly and courteously. A lot of guys’ affection for their wives increase significantly when they see their wives getting along so well with their mothers.
5] Giving your husband space, peace and quiet when he needs it. Not disturbing him with irritating questions and unnecessary interviews as soon as he arrives from work or time spent with his colleagues etc.
6] Not being petty, immature, oversensitive, overly interfering, and too clingy. The more thick-skinned you are and the more you solve marital problems using logic, along with trust in Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala, the more you can thrive as your husband’s loyal wife.
7] Frequently letting your husband/soulmate know that he’s the only soul on earth whom you’re in love with. Not cheating on him at all, not having male non-mahrams on your social media “friends list”, not staring back at non-mahram guys, not indulging in any emotional affair even jokingly, and not carrying any feelings of attraction for anybody apart from him (your husband whom you love patiently and wholeheartedly for Allah’s sake).

📖 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."
Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1159
Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to At-Tirmidhi
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 Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."

📖 Narrated Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: On Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-ul-Adha, Allah's Messenger SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam went out to the Musalla. After finishing the prayer, he delivered the sermon and ordered the people to give alms (charity). He said, "O people! Give alms." Then he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger! What is the reason for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn Mas`ud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O Allah's Messenger! It is Zainab." He asked, 'Which Zainab?" The reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ud. He said, "Yes, allow her to enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah! Today you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Mas`ud said that he and his children deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Ibn Mas`ud had spoken the truth. Your husband and your children had more right to it than anybody else."
