Maulana Yusuf Sufi Saheb The front Page of the AL ISLAH magazine is a <strong>com</strong>position of flowers and jewellery, both of which are very dear to women. The bond between husbands and wives can be described as a flower or petal, delicate, and fragile and at the same time precious like a piece of fine jewellery. They should aspire to live their lives in continuous bliss and happiness from the day they get married till the last, and along the way try and take heed from the Rose flower, at how it smiles and blossoms in the midst of its thorny surroundings. Inevitably, during this worldly life couples and marriages are often pricked by the thorny side of life through grief and anguish, but even in these difficult times we should look to the Rose flower, never affected and never impinged on. Husbands and wives should make every effort to create mutual love and tender heartedness through smiling and laughter. The formula given to attain this loving solidarity between the Husband and the Wife lies in rekindling laughter and happiness between them. Even if times demand an alternative reaction we should always aim to wear a smile on our faces and make it our own. It has been said that smiling opens the door to the soul, and the soul shares a connection with the mind, the mind with the brain, and the brain with the heart. Likewise, true beauty in a woman whether internal, or external, exists only in that wife that spreads love and content through their husbands‘ heart and is subsequently a means to their joy and happiness. It is almost instinctive that whenever you see someone smiling you naturally start to smile yourself. And so, honest were the words that said,‘ Happiness and joy of the heart are even more beneficial than the finest medicine‘. Wives should try and greet their Husbands with a smile when they enter the house, this will help to blossom their relationship and create a new found atmosphere and ambience in the home.
