1.         She is a source of saving me from Hell, due to her, I keep myself away from the desire of what is forbidden.

2.         She guards my possessions in my absence.

3.         She washes my clothes.

4.         She nourishes my children.

5.         She cooks food for me. The man said, my wife also has these qualities, so I would also overlook it. (Tanbih-ul-Ghafileen, pp. 280)

Cultivate the sense of responsibility!

1.         Cultivate the sense of responsibility in yourselves and fulfil the rights of people. Fulfilling the rights of people is also a responsibility of each and every Muslim. Our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی also consider this as their responsibility and would emphasize on it. Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin ‘Abdul ‘Azeez رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, after his appointment as Caliph (ruler), his wife found him weeping after prayers on his praying mat, until his tears wet his beard. She asked him what had happened. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ replied: ‘I have been made the ruler over the Muslims and I was thinking of the poor who are starving, and the sick who are destitute, and those who are bare and are in distress, and I felt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ would ask me about them on the Day of Resurrection, and I feared that no defence would avail me (at that time), and I wept.’ (Tareekh-ul-Khulafa, pp. 189)

Be one who collects virtues

2.         For fulfilling the rights of people, one method is that people should try to store virtues rather than wealth and possessions. We do not know which of our virtues may become a source of attaining the grand pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, therefore, even the smallest good deeds must not be missed, keep in mind the excellence of treating others with goodness, and with the intention of reward, enthusiastically fulfil the rights of people. The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘Behaving gracefully towards the people is a Sadaqah’.
