Act kindly towards women

This is how the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, instructed us. This is to explain what God mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that it is necessary to treat women kindly and to be patient with them.

Allah said : ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.}
