Pati Parmeshwar and Majazi Khuda
Pati Parmeshwar, also called Majazi Khuda, is a concept in South Asia that teaches that the husband is akin to a deity, being next to God. This teaching of Pati Parmeshwar or Majazi Khuda holds that it is the husband's role to provide for his wife. Indian women thus regularly pray and fast for their husband. For a South Asian married couple, the husband is viewed by his wife as an aid in her eventual salvation with respect to the afterlife. The concept of Pati Parmeshwar or Majazi Khuda originates in Hinduism. While once thought to be practiced in Islam, the practice has been discontinued amongst Muslims as Islam forbids the concept of deities.
