"How many times have I told you!" "No, that's not what you said!" Two people live through the same evening in one home, and the next day they tell it like two different stories. Neither of them is lying; each is looking out of their own window. We tell of a day when Nasreddin Hodja served as a kadi (judge): two neighbours come to his door over a mulberry tree, and Hodja tells them both, "You're right." From behind the curtain, his wife objects. We bring the answer Hodja gives her into our own homes.📖 Sources:• Nasreddin Hodja anecdote: "You're right too" (Hodja as a judge).• Quran, Surah ar-Rum, verse 21: "And among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find tranquillity in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy." Verse 22 also counts the diversity of languages and colours among His signs.• Hadith (Aisha, Bukhari and Muslim): "I know when you are pleased with me and when you are upset with me…"• Hadith (Tirmidhi): "The best of you are those who are best to their families, and I am the best of you to my family."• Turkish proverb: "When two hearts become one, even a hayloft becomes a garden."💬 What was the last thing you and your spouse argued about before realising "we were both right"? Tell us in the comments; no one is judged here.ℹ️ This episode is for general information and spiritual reflection; it is not a substitute for family counselling or psychological treatment.
