The Rights of the Husband and Wife

In this book, men are highlighted with much more context and information. Men are glorified. On the other hand, there is not a lot of information regarding women, their rights, and how a man should treat his wife. If a new Muslim man or woman read this book, they would not have a great understanding of women and their roles/values in a marriage, society, or a household. The man’s role in and how he should treat his wife or even female family members is almost *non-existent* in this book. There is nothing highlighting the treatment, care, respect, or approach that men should use with their wives.Almost all the conversations are directed towards how a woman should treat her husband in multiple scenarios. Also, the translations were very outdated. The book follows the Hanafi school. I felt like I was reading a cultural book rather than a book based on Islamic teachings and wisdom. It was extremely disappointing. So many beautiful hadiths of how the Prophet (SAW) treated and cared for his wives, yet the book couldn’t even highlight half of them.
