A SOUL FROM THE SKY
CHAPTER 43. Wife Jihad

...If you don't like the path you're on, Start making another path...

...🍁...

After saying goodbye to Nissa, with a heavy heart Tama left his beloved wife, withstanding all the feelings that honestly he really wanted to pour out with his wife.

"You sure you're gonna let you go to the hospital ?" Tama

"Mas!!, a wife will always support her husband in kindness"

Hearing that it feels happy mixed with sadness, the article Tama had hoped like an Indian film scene, which he would be held by his partner when he left.

The world is a real-life reality, not an Indian drama.

"God" Inner Tama chuckled.

Imagining how absurd he was, hoping his wife would hold back did make Tama ashamed of herself.

"Alright, I'm leaving first, if you need anything just tell them, or if not just contact your husband this dear" said Tama teasingly.

"Yes, yes !!" Answer Nissa with a smile.

The two parted at the doorway, to be honest Tama was not willing to let go of Nissa, even if only for a moment, but it turned out that Nissa had once let go.

which woman doesn't want to be with her husband all the time ?.

It is certainly in want of many women like her thing Nissa, which is both still classified as newlyweds.

But Nissa was also so aware of Abi's advice the other day

The phrase “behind a great man there is a great woman” is a phrase that has a point as well. It has become a fact that the duty of the wife is to support her husband in his life. Especially in fighting for this religion; supporting her husband in studying religion, practicing his knowledge and supporting in preaching.

This is in accordance with the nature of women and is also supported by sharia, because women are not charged with charity as much as male practices, such as: jihad, devotion to parents, and proselytizing. This also corresponds to the nature of women who are weaker both physically and mentally than men. In the hadith it is explained that women can do four things to enter heaven from any door, whereas to enter heaven from any ink, requires very high sincerity. One of the four things is obeying her husband; supporting him in proselytizing is one form of “seeking ridha husband” so that he can enter heaven.

Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,

إِذَا صَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ خَمْسَهَا، وَصَامَتْ شَهْرَهَا، وَحَصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا، وَأَطَاعَتْ بَعْلَهَا، دَخَلَتْ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَتْ

“When a woman [1] performs her five-time prayers, [2] fasts in Ramadan, [3] keeps *********, and [4] obeys her husband, [3], then he will enter heaven from whichever door he wants.” (CHR. Ibn Hibban; rated shahih by Al-Albani in Shahih Al-Jami’ Ash-Shaghir, no. 660.)

لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا

“If I could order someone to bow down to someone else I would surely order a wife to bow down to her husband.” (CHR. At-Tirmidhi, no. 1159, said Al-Albani in Shahih Sunan At-Tirmidzi, “Hasan Shahih.”)

So does Nissa's role as the wife of a doctor, which is Tama's jihad in her life, jihad in health care.

Nissa recalled a story told by Abi, Ustadz Hamzah

The busyness of the wife in the family is considered as worship. For women who have the zeal to fight in the way of Allah SWT the family is the field. And as it turns out, jihad for women is quite easy and it is not far from the household.

Ibn Abbas RA said, a woman came to the Prophet SAW and said, "I am the ambassador of women to face you. There is not a woman among them, neither understanding nor understanding, but she will be pleased with my presence before you."

The Prophet answered, "Observing husbands and knowing their rights (can equal jihad in the way of Allah), but few of you do." (Sr Thabrani).

Jihad for women as above is obedience to the husband. Therefore, the obedience of a woman (wife) to God will not be perfect if it is not followed by obedience to the husband, as long as it is not contrary to the Shari'a.

Aisha RA said, "If a woman obeys her Lord and keeps ***********, then she hurts her husband with a word, then the angel will curse her all night." (Baihaki HR).

The Prophet asked a friend of the women to obey her husband because heaven and hell a woman (wife) is on her husband. He said, "Take note of your position from him because he (husband) is your paradise and your hell." (SR Ahmed).

However, as a man (husband), should not be selfish. Precisely the Prophet of the SAW advised specifically to men to treat women with meekness.

The Prophet said, "Message kindness to women because they are made of ribs. Indeed, the most crooked of the ribs is the upper part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it. If you let him, he will remain crooked. Therefore, give kindness to women." (Sukhari).

A role that is much underestimated, but it turns out to be worth jihad fisabilillah according to Allah SWT and His Apostle.

A story about women who complained about the many virtues of male practice.

Prophet Muhammad SAW mentioned that the activities of housewives in his house, such as caring for children and taking care of household needs are equivalent to jihad fi sabilillah.

Shaykh Mahmoud Muhanna mentions the women or wives who do their role in taking care of the needs of the house, the reward is like doing charity in jihad in the way of Allah SWT. Even so, the men are also highly recommended to help the wives and not complicate his wife.

"Women with his work, his control, and his housekeeping are the same as the work of the mujahideen in the way of Allah SWT. And the man should be a helper to his wife by being kind to them,".
