178 ‘Hazrat Abu Huraira relates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said that when a person fulfils his needs for which he has had to travel, with consideration for his family he should return home soon. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitabul Jehad wa - sayr, Babu Sur’ah fi - sayr, Hadeeth number 3001) The family of a married man indeed are his wife and children. Today we see that in some households women are lef t all alone. When young women come to these countries after marriage, they do not have any acquaintance here. They are confined to their homes all day. Given the wintry climate of these [Western] countries, at times they also suffer from depression. Meanwh ile the men stay outside with their friends after work chatting away. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) also established this right of women by advising men to give women their due right, give relatives their due right and give chil dren their due right. He strongly disliked the idea of [men] wasting time in idle talk, leaving the wife behind at home. ’ (Address delivered on 26 July 2008 at Jalsa Salana UK.
