An Abuja based Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Yahya Al-Yolawi, has advised Muslim wives to fear Allah and obey their husbands by satisfying their marital needs in order to maintain a peaceful home.

Al-Yolawi, who is the Chief Imam of Area 10 Mosque gave the advice while delivering Jumma’at sermon titled“ Duties and Responsibilities of husband and wife in Islam,“ on Friday in Abuja.

The cleric said that Islam had prescribed duties and responsibilities for both the husband and wife in order to ensure a harmonious relationship.

According to him, whenever those rights are violated, a lot of chaos and evils would enter the lives of the couple.

Al-Yolawi, therefore, charged the Muslim wife to guard her husband’s secrets, dignity, wealth as well as children.

He said that a wife must obey the instructions of her husband so long as his commands do not conflict or contradict the commands of Allah.

“ The wife should fear Allah at all times and be ready to meet the sexual needs of her husband, except in cases where it is not permissible such as during menstruation or postnatal bleeding.

“Prophet Mohammad says if a husband calls his wife to his bed and she refused to answer the call for any reason other than a lawful one, and then he get upset, then angels will curse such a wife until she gets up in the morning.”

Similarly, the cleric urged women to be content with what their husbands brings to the house, adding that a good wife should always be grateful to her husband.

He admonished women to encourage their spouse to acquire only lawful wealth, urging them not to ”compare him with husbands of your sisters, friends or what you see on the television screen”.

Al-Yolawi also called on men to reciprocate their wives obedience with love, mutual respect and understanding at all times.
