Umar ibn Khattab (RA) said to a man who was thinking of divorcing his wife. "Why do you want to divorce her?" He said, "I do not love her (anymore)". Umar (RA) said, "Must every house be built on feelings of love?. What about integrity and responsibility?"...1/4
He went on: "You men ! When we marry, we give a serious promise to her. A woman gives birth to children and goes through hard times during her pregnancy. Then she suckles the baby and takes care all night about her children, when they get sick or need anything...2/4
... She sacrificed her beauty and youth for being a mother. How fair is it that her husband leaves her when she is older? If she would have never taken care of her home and family instead of taking care of her body and beauty her husband would say "What a bad mother she is"...3/4
...What about integrity and loyalty? Fear Allah regarding your behaviour towards your wives"...4/4
