Why We All Have A Bent Rib

A quick answer to the reason for which we all have a bent rib is that it is the form in which Allaah created the first man, Aadam (upon him be peace). Allaah indeed created us in our best form.
After the creation of Aadam, Allaah created his woman from his bent rib, subhanallaah!
Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased
with him] narrated that Allah’s Messenger [ ﺻﻠﯽ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﻋﻠﯿﮧ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ] said:
“Woman was created from a bent rib. If you want to enjoy her, you enjoy her while she is still bent. If you will try to straighten her, you will break her.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari , Sahih Muslim] A good Muslim husband should keep in mind that women of the world always come with their shortcomings – they are, at times, cranky,
emotional, irrational, moody, sharp-tongued,
gullible and prone to tattle. They have two
hormones gushing in their bodies, as a result of which their moods and feelings swing between extremities like a pendulum. Put up with her irrational behavior – the unjust accusations, suspicion, complaining, crying, screaming, and shouting – and sometimes for the sake of Allaah. Remember that
Allaah made her that way – i.e. she’s beautiful to behold; you can’t do without her company; the house seems desolate when she leaves; but
when she’s with you, she will display her negative traits too the same way she displays her good character. Be patient and overlook them. And thre is a rephrased adage in Yoruba land (Nigeria) which goes as thus: “fi iwa fun o ni iwa ni n je ore jore” [understanding and being able to manage your friend character is the foundation of true friendship].
May Allaah grant us understanding and a happy home
