Book Title : How to Satisfy You Mother-in-Law ?

Author : Mohammed Al-Kadhy

Number of Pages : 132 middle-sized pages

Alsalam alaikum Friends ,Hello everybody .

Wow ! ,I just finished another book already !! Thank God

Before you ask , Nope ! …I'm not married , nor engaged . And I'm not about to ,At least not in the foreseeable future

I just loved the title of the book when I read it in a list on the back cover of another book from the same publisher .

In my last visit to the book-stores'-street that I told you about ,I asked the book salesman about it ,He smiled and asked : -"Oh ,You are having problems with your mother in law ? " ,

I replied : -"No ,I'm not even married . I just want to be prepared "

.

He said something about wishing me good luck before handling me the book .

I believe in the adage "better prepared than sorry " ,Don't you agree ?

Also ,I wanted to be able to give helpful advices to my married friends .

So ,…..How was the book ?

It was awesome !!

One of the best books I've read . Really deals with the problem of the in-laws from all the aspects ..Giving easy clear solutions for them .

The first 30 pages might not be very interesting ,but once you reach the 4th chapter ,you're gonna feel the difference .

I might have my own reservations regarding some of the historical examples being given , but that doesn't mean that I didn't like the book .

In fact ,I'm planning to lend it to a bunch of people I know ,God willing ._{(already gave it to my mom ^^)}

I usually keep a pencil by my bed _{(in order to write my ideas which like to come late at night ^_^ )} , I grabbed it and started to underline the phrases that I liked the most .

Here is a ~~pathetic~~ translation of some of the lines I liked …

"_{(the wife wants from her husband to forget his mother and focus on her )} …Why don't the wife ask herself about her feelings towards her own mother ? Did these feeling change after her marriage ? " .

"The mother must know that the motherhood is not a possession of the children . and that the highest value of the motherhood is the endless giving . "

"The mother-in-law must know that the stability of the marital life is one of the aims of Islam " .

"The wife must realize that marriage is not a possession of the husband ,just like when we said that motherhood is not a possession of the children .Because the truth of marriage is a share between two people ,each has a rudder in his hand to steer the new-life's ship ."

"_{(some of the ways for the wife to make her mother in law loves her is to)} …seek her advice ,even if she really didn't need it . "

Unfortunately ,I don't think that this book is available in any language other than Arabic

. It will be awesome if it was .

Nevertheless , I recommend it to Every Girl who knows how to read Arabic , Especially if you were a Muslim Arabian girl …. Because it deals with a lot of problems that happens frequently in our Arabian society .

It will help unmarried girls _{like me} to know what is coming and be prepared to deal with any problem and eliminate it before it starts .

It will help newly-wed girls to deal with the problems they might be having .

Even if you were married for several years now ,It will help you be prepared when you become a mother in law . and help you to teach your daughters how to deal with their in-laws .
