Faisal and Ghazala have been married for 12 years and have generally had a happy and fulfilling relationship. However, there have been a few instances where Faisal has disrespected or insulted Ghazala's choices, causing her to feel hurt and frustrated. In Islam, it is important for both husband and wife to show respect and kindness towards each other, as emphasized in the Qur'an: "And among His signs is this: that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may find tranquillity in them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts" (30:21).

His thoughts turned to his wife, Rubina, who was at home taking care of their two young children. Rubina loved being a stay-at-home mom, but Imran knew she often felt lonely and isolated. Suddenly, without warning , the door to Imran's office burst open and his boss, Mr Khan, stormed in. "Imran, we have to have a talk," Mr Khan said gravely. "Your performance has been slipping and the calibre of your work is not meeting our standards." Imran's fury boiled over. He had been putting in extra hours and doing his best, but he couldn't understand why his boss was berating him. "I apologize, Mr Khan," Imran said through clenched teeth. ""I've been putting in a lot of effort and trying my best.". I don't understand what you want from me." Mr Khan looked at him
