kinds of differences. One was that the husband
had some objectionable habits or addictions, such
as drinking, etc. Another kind of difference
resulted from a temperamental nature. I said that
I did not think that his son-in-law had any such
wrong habits.
He should therefore take the matter more
seriously, and try tomake his daughter understand
that she should adjust to her husband. I told him
that she should consider her husband to be her
boss. This was the only practicable solution. There
was no other possible alternative. I said, “You are
a dayee. Adayee is a man with a purpose. Nothing
other than dawah should be an issue. So you
should try to convince your daughter to adjust
and live with her husband, otherwise your
purposeful life of dawah will come to an end
through being entangled in this matter. And you
will live only as a father, not as a dayee.
