Dear Islamic brothers, other family members have rights too, and so, ensure to fulfil them. Let us hear about how the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would fulfil the rights of his family:

Remember, 11 noble, pure women were blessed to be married to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would always treat them fairly, fulfil their rights, bring joy to their hearts, and have good relations with them all.

Being Fair and Just with the Pure Wives

Dear Islamic brothers, this action of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم    serves as great advice for us. Despite having authority, the noble Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم adopted fairness and equality with his wives. So, those
