All praise is due only to Allaah. We laud Him and beseech His

Final request 
Every Muslim man and woman must try to study the section on 
Wasiyyat
and make immediate arrangements to prepare the 
same. 
A summary
We will make a short summary of the Kitaab hereunder so that 
you may refer to it occasionally and keep the points in mind: 
1). 
As long as the husband and wife are not pious and 
Allaah Ta`ala-fearing, they can never become one. You should 
try to reform yourself and make an effort at reforming your 
wife as well. 
2). 
Try your best to keep the Nikah simple, Insha-Allaah 
Ta`ala there will be much barkat in it for you. 
3). 
Stipulate the amount for 
mehr 
to be equal to 
Mehr-e-
Faatimi
and try your best to pay it cash. 
4). 
Do not ask or desire that the bride’s family give 
trousseau. 
5). 
Try as far as possible to live separately from your 
family, because it is difficult for two women to share the same 
kitchen. Many problem can be avoided in this way and it 
engenders more love and affection between family members. 
6). 
The best remedy and 
taweez
for engendering and 
maintaining love for your wife is to lower and protect your 
gaze. When you look at what Allaah Ta`ala has forbidden then 
you will find no peace in your life and you will develop an 
aversion for your wife regardless of how pretty she may be. 
7). 
Remember that one of the traits of women is that they 
become happy if they are praised and appreciated, therefore in 
order to maintain the happiness and tranquillity in the home,

have the polish removed before ghusal is made on me. Ghusal 
is not proper if nail polish is not removed, neither will Salaatul 
Janaazah, therefore please make sure it is removed. 
2. 
Good Muslim women encourage their sons and 
grandsons to do hifz of Qur`aan Majeed and to become good 
practicing Aalims. She encourages them to learn Arabic and 
she teaches them good Islaamic character. This she should put 
in her 
Wasiyyat
. 
If her children have already grown big, then she should leave 
them with the advice that although she could not make them 
huffaaz or Ulama, at least they should endeavour to make their 
sons Huffaaz or Ulama. 
She should remind them that the Kalimah of Allaah Ta`ala is 
the greatest and takes precedence over everything else. They 
should spend all their time and energies in Deeni projects and 
in spreading and propagating the Deen, in the proper way. 
3. 
She should advise her husband to take another wife 
after her demise so that he may attain peace, comfort and 
contentment. This also, so that he may be saved fro perpetrating 
Haraam. She should also remind him to make sure that his new 
wife does not oppress and vent her frustrations on her children. 
4. 
That he and her children make an effort to carry out 
deeds of 
Isaal-e-Thawaab
for her. 
5. 
He should destroy your I.D. and passport photos, lest 
you suffer on account of them lying around and others looking 
at it. 
6. 
When the children become of age, then after consulting 
with elders and making proper investigations and following 
proper procedures he should get them married. He must make 
sure that the future son-in-law is Deeni conscious. 
7. 
He must also remember to make arrangements for 
separate living quarters for any future daughter-in-law, so as to 
avoid any problems and to maintain peace and harmony in the 
home. They must try to keep the Nikah ceremony simple and 
190
save the money intended for a large ceremony towards and for 
the benefit of their son and daughter-in-law.
