Akhlaq

If someone says Salam to us then should we reply in a loud enough manner such that he can definitely hear us, or is that not necessary?

as salam alaikum

The Qur'an says: "Whenever you are greeted with salutation, greet with better salutation or return the same. Verily Allah takes account of everything" (4:86).

A believer should answer the greeting of another believer in a way that the salutation is heard, otherwise cannot be defined as "salutation". There is no sin if the other person do not say or hear it unintentionally. However the greeting of peace "as salam alaikum", and returning the greeting, is one of the beautiful aspect of Islam, it is considered a du'a and strengthens brotherhood among the believers; it is better therefore to make sure that it always reaches its destination.

With prayers for your success.

Husband . Akhlaq . Anger

How does one deal with a husband who gets angry over the smallest things and, instead of communicating his frustrations in a mature manner, screams and shouts and swears?

Patience and tolerance. This is the way.

This unfortunate situation is existing in thousands of cases and it causes lot of sufferings but we should never loose the hope.

There are many wise ways to handle it including:

1. Avoiding any behavior or words which can instigate or trigger his anger.

2. Being cool when he is angry to gradually cool him down.

3. Never be angry reacting to his anger. Your anger will make his anger more.

4. Try to politely explain to him the situation as much is he can understand.

5. Do not involve others unless it becomes out of control, then only those who have effect on him.

Wassalam.

Islam . Akhlaq

The mission statement of the Holy Prophet (S) was that he had come to perfect the distinction of our Akhlaq. So all that he taught (Aqaid and Fiqh) would lead to good, no perfect Akhlaq.

Akhlaq is the fruit of the tree of Islam whilst the Aqaid are the roots and the Fiqh the branches. Without fruit the tree hasn't fulfilled is purpose. And in the same way without good Akhlaq we haven't really followed the Holy Prophet (S).
