Sowing dissension in a marriage

People get married for life. Marriage is not a joke. Yes, when it is difficult to continue to live in harmony, then it can also be ended beautifully. But, basically, marriage is a union that must be preserved as much as possible. Sometimes there is no problem between the husband and the wife. It is just a third party who wants to wreak havoc. This is very serious. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The person who incites a woman against her husband is not among us."

According to the 'Ulama, this also applies to someone who incites a man against his wife. Nowadays, there are very few people who may sincerely give one good advice. Couples must take precautions. People can no longer see others in well-being. That's why one should not listen to just anyone. One's friend can give one a lot of advice that may upset one's conjugal life. They may instigate one with useless talks which will only render one miserable. One must always take advice from people who are very Deendaar and who have the knowledge of Deen who will advise one according to Deen. They will help one to see a little further. One must not be deceived by temporary pleasure. One must think carefully about the future.
