The husband leaves his work tired and on his way back home he endures the noise and hubbub of the heavy traffic. He heads towards his kingdom, where he can find tranquility, peace of mind, and happiness with his wife and children. So how is the good wife going to meet her husband when he comes home? Some wives are not at home when their husbands return from work. Whether she is still at work, at the neighbors', with her friends or at her family's, the husband will feel dissatisfied and her absence will leave a bad effect on him. Her husband [...]

One of my  friends said  to me, “You always give lectures on having mercy  and  compassion on  wives,  but  you  never  mention the rights  of husband over  the  wife”,  whereas many times  I had mentioned that  if their husband sleeps  displeased, then your tasbeeh  and   Tahajjud  is  all  in  vain.  The angles curse   that woman the whole   night   whose husband sleeps away while being angry with her.

When I finished, I found out that she was following me in prayers and finished as soon as I had finished. When the guests [...]

He (Peace be upon him) replied: "To Allah and His Book and His Messenger and the leaders of the Muslims and to the generality of them." (Hadith from Muslim) Sincerity is therefore closely identified with true religious belief.
