ABU OUSAYD

Never let anyone hold you down….
(Brothers edition)

There definitely is rightous brothers married to wicked women

This is not new, even some Prophets were married to wicked women,

Take Prophet(as), some angels came down in the form of handsome young men, Lut (عليه السلام), fearing that they will be abused if they were spotted, rushed out to meet them and invited them to his house as his guests.

Only his household was aware, but from his household his wife leaked out the information, Allah (ﷻ) mentions this incident in the Quran in Surah Hud:

“And when Our messengers came to Lut [Lot], he was anxious for them, feeling powerless to protect them, and said, ‘This is truly terrible day’.” [11:77]

Lut (عليه السلام) barricaded himself behind the closed door but when he found the task of holding them back formidable, he said,

“If only I had the strength to stop you or could rely on strong support!” [11:80]

Now let us go to another Prophet Nuh(as), a righteous man married to a wicked woman, with all the proofs and dawah presented by her husband Nuh(as) she still refused, denied, disobeyed and was one of the disbelievers, both stories can be summed up in the ayaah of Allah mentioned in Surah At-Tahrim: 

“Allah has given examples of disbelievers: the wives of Nuh [Noah] and Lut [Lot] who married two of Our righteous servants, but betrayed them. Their husbands could not help them against God:  it was said,’Both of you enter the Fire with the others.” [66:10]

My dear brother sometimes we need to make hard decisions, especially when there is children involved, but we need to save ourselves first then our families

Don’t let the love of an individual lead you astray, lead you to compromise and ultimately lead you to the Hell-fire

Allah says:
“There are men who take others besides Allah as equal with Him. They love them as much as they should love Allah. But the believers have more love for Allah.” [Al-Baqara:165]

My dear brothers this is not a ticket to cut and run, but rather a warning that there may come a time when you need to cut those who do not make the cut, but before that TRY, but don’t fall, be on guard

Abu Saed Al Kudri narrated from the Messenger(saw), “…..A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” (Bukhari)
