25. DUTY TOWARDS HUSBAND




God says:

The righteous women are the truly devout ones, who guard their intimacy which God has (ordained to be) guarded. -- Q.4: 34

[God said,] “I shall not lose sight of labour of any of you who labours [in My way], be it man or woman: each of you is an issue of the other. -- Q.3: 195
i.e., “you all are members of same human race, and therefore equal to one another.”


Prophet said

1. “…woman is a queen over the members of the household of her husband and of his children, and she will be asked about them.” --- H: Bukhari and Muslim. N: Abdullah bin Omar.

2. “The best of wealth is a tongue remembering God, a grateful heart, and a believing wife who helps (the husband) in his faith”– H: Ahmed, Tirmizi and Ibn Majah. N: Saoban.

3. “ Next to God-consciousness the believer finds nothing better for him than a virtuous wife…” – H: Ibn Majah. N: Abu Omamah.
