As salaam Alaikum,
My understanding is that we only obey Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) and his prophets as a Muslim and Muslima we are not allowed to obey anyone else. In fact, I understood from Islamic lecture you do not obey your parents but you listen to them and be respectful to them and do not say bad things or mean things to them and when they ask you to do something as long as it is not against the law of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) and doesn't harm you or others and it is for your benefit you do it. But other times you are allowed to object in certain things and you still have the right to have your own personality and be able to do what you want and you pay for the consequences of it. So why do we say a wife is to obey her husband? I am sorta confused in this. Since we agreed that obeying is exclusive only to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) and his prophets why do we say a wife is to obey her husband. I think the word obey should not be used in that context, she should listen to her husband yes and if what he ask her to do does not go against Allah's law and it does not harm herself or anyone, then yes she should do it but the word obey in itself should be exclusive to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Talaa) and his prophets.
Don't you agree?
