10 Romantic Sunnahs from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Who doesn’t like talking about love? It’s one of the most popular topics among youth.

We like to read love stories and watch romantic movies.

We get amazed by how the lover treats his beloved and how deeply the couple loves each other.

Sometimes, these stories are unrealistic, sometimes exaggerated…

However, if we examine the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we’d find it full of instances that we, most of the time, forget to look at and hardly follow.

We know how much he was respectful towards women, and he usually ordered the companions to treat women with respect and kindness. He led by example when he said:

“The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.” (Ibn Majah) 

So, let’s look at how Prophet Muhammad showed his wives love and tender care?

Here are some tips from the Sunnahs of the Prophet (peace be upon him):

1- Express Your Love in Different Ways

His love for Aisha was immense. In one narration, Aisha said:

“The Messenger of Allah used to divide his time equally and said: O Allah, this is my division concerning what I control, so do not blame me concerning what You control and I do not.” (Abu Dawud)



One day, the Prophet’s companion, Amr ibn Al-As, said: “I came to the Prophet and said, “Which people do you love most?”

He replied, “Aisha“. I said, “From amongst the men?” He replied, “Her father, (Abu Bakr).”

Aisha said:

“The Messenger of Allah used to put his mouth on the place where I had drunk from, and he would drink from what was leftover by me, while I was menstruating.” (An-Nasa’i)

2- Feed Her

How easy it is for Muslims to gain rewards ! Just by smiling at your wife or putting a morsel in her mouth, you get a reward. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife’s mouth.”(Al Bukhari)

3- Play with Her

How many times do you invite your spouse to go trekking or play a game? Imagine, being the leader who used to have plenty of responsibilities, but he could still find time to share a game with his wife.

‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated:

“The Prophet raced with me and I beat him.” (Ibn Majah)

4- Clean up for Her

What’s the first thing you do when you have an important meeting? Tidying up, using your favorite perfume… why not try these when you come home?

Shuraih bin Hani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “What was the first thing which the Prophet would do when he entered his house?“

She replied, “He would use Miswak (tooth-stick).” (Muslim)

5- Lean on Her Lap

Romantic lovers like to lean on each other’s shoulders or lap. Doing this brings a state of calmness and contentment.

Prophet Muhammad used to put his head on Aisha’s lap and recite the Qur’an.

Narrated by Aisha:

“The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to lean on my lap and recite Quran while I was in menses.” (Al-Bukhari)

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
