These citations encapsulate what is said in Islamic teachings about the principles of kindness, support, and mutual respect in marriage.
Marriage according to Islam
“And wed those among you who are single and those who are righteous among your slaves and bondmaids. If they be poor, Allah will make them strong from His Grace and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” [24:32]
In the Holy Quran, marriage is emphasized to be a priority by creating an encouragement towards it. The verse encourages every single person to marry with an emphasis on righteousness. It not only stresses having the right attitude and mindset but also being able to perform the duties associated with marriage. It teaches that wealth should not be a cause of worry or inhibition in marriage. Sometimes, suitors are assessed on their financial standing, where some families frown at the idea of marriage unless some level of income is attained. However, a person’s character lasts longer compared to wealth.
Wealth never comes with a guarantee and is subject to the ups and downs of life. This verse reassures that Allah is ever-aware and a reliable helper. Marriage with the correct intention opens doors, although if one cannot fulfill the rights of a spouse or afford the bare necessities of life, it can be postponed. Those who cannot afford to marry are encouraged to fast, which safeguards chastity and leads one to rewards that may perhaps bring ease on the path to marriage.
“The Prophet of Allah said: ‘O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot then he should fast, for it will be a restraint for him.’ “[Sunan an-Nasa’i, 3209]
Establishing a Two-Way Relationship
“O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women…” [4:1]
Surah An-Nisa contains the common rights of human beings and forms the basis of a healthy family life. In the opening verse, it reminds humankind that all human beings have one origin as children of Prophet Adam and his wife Hawa or Eve, may Allah be pleased with them both. It signifies the relation among all through a common paternal ancestor. This Quran verse on marriage represents the relationship between a man and a woman as husband and wife, made for each other.
“It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her…” [7:189]
The verse first explains the ultimate origin of man, and again, to emphasize, all human beings are from, therefore, of the same origin. Besides the appeal for universal human brotherhood, it draws attention to that spiritual relationship existing between the husband and wife. Marriage is a blessing, and spouses are to live together, leading a life of peace and mercy. They are friends bound together and secured to each other.
Married life is to be one of satisfaction, happiness and fulfillment achieved through collaboration.
Spouses as mentioned in the Quran
“They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them…” [Quran 2:187]
This Quranic verse most eloquently describes spouses as garments for each other and, by so doing, puts forth the mutual roles in marriage. Just as a garment helps in the protection and concealing, spouses are supposed to be a source of protection and shelter for one another. If there is a weakness found in one of the spouses, it is for the other spouse to make sure this is not revealed to the world.
Being a garment means being there for each other and comforting one another. When the other spouse feels weak and vulnerable, the other should be there to console or comfort them. This verse further stresses that it is imperative to reinforce great importance to each other and spend time together. Spouses should strive to make a marriage a place of trust and confidence. This simile of the clothing very much brings out the relationship of intimacy and bonding that constitute the very basis of a healthy marriage.
By believing that marriages are safe havens and comfort zones, as seen in the Quran.
Kindness and Justice to Women
“O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness.”. For if you dislike them – maybe you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good. But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin?
“
[4:19-20]
The verses describe marriage as a contract with its conditions that both the couple agree upon, specifically the bride’s dowry. Breaking those conditions is an injustice. Now, these verses protect women from injustice. Wives, in that case, are not a type of property that can be owned. Whatever a woman has—from her dowry to other gifts—must not be retrieved after her death by her husband or his heirs unless she willfully offers it. Forcing her to give up her wealth is oppression and injustice upon her.
Quran teaches men to be kind and respectful to women even when differences arise between the two or in case of a divorce. While it is the simplest decent relationship behavior that a spouse should bear for his partner, it has been practiced further outlined here. According to the verses of the Quran, this is advice to every husband to find something good about their wives to value, though he may dislike something about her; the liked aspect may outweigh the disliked characters.
Marriage According to the Quran
“And those who say, ‘Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.'” [25:74] This ayah also refers to those people who pray for their marriage and family to benefit the society. It describes the reward in Akhira for those who wish to have a good, influencing family. Here, there is a need to pray for ease and happiness in life after marriage and for righteous offspring. This teaches the value of being concerned about the family as opposed to being concerned about self-improvement in many ways, even in the acts of worship.
It shows the importance of struggling to benefit, inspire, and lift others in righteousness and good.
A loving and kind marriage radiates goodness. This verse primarily fulfils the other verses in that it tells how husband and wife should live with each other in tranquility and find comfort in each other’s company.
Marriage as a Source of Tranquility
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” [30:21]
It was to his wife Khadijah that Prophet Muhammad turned for a reassuring presence right after the bewildering experience of the first revelation of the Quran. This verse affirms that spouses are created for one another in order to find comfort and peace in each other. One of the objectives of married life is to bring tranquility through affection and mercy. The Ayah talks of how Allah puts love and mercy between the spouses, so they may both live in peace. The love is compared to the natural love that exists between parents and children but here, it is from God to make the spouses love each other and go on loving one another.
Tolerance, sympathy, and patience will increase their love, making it very durable to resist the ups and downs of life.
Marriage is a source of compassion and love that joins the couple together in such a way that they become intimate and inseparable, supporting each other through all the storms of life.
Marriage to Attain Peace
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who give thought.” [30:21]
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) went to his wife Khadijah to get some peace and reassurance just after the deep and overwhelming experience of receiving the first revelation of the Quran. From this verse, he holds spouses to help each other in moments of bewilderment and different stages of weakness. The message is spouses were created for each other to give comfort and peace. Among the many aims set by marriage is to bring about tranquillity through love and mercy. This verse, in essence, means that Allah has put some affection and mercy within the hearts of the spouses to subsist a life of serenity and tranquility. Affection here is like the natural and firm attachment that the parents feel for their children. It is a gift from God that people should love and continue to take care of one another for the rest of their lives.
The forgiveness and compassion bestowed upon this love make it a very strong thing, strong enough to stand in the face of all the pressures that life brings.
Affection and mercy are part of marriage —two people are joined together so closely in matrimony that they are said to stand together against anything life may throw at them.
Marriage in Quran
The Quran describes marriage as much more than a “legal or religious” tie-binding act. It is rooted in the very foundation of human feelings and is thus marked with love, companionship, tendleness, mercy, and comfort. The Quran encourages couples to treat each other kindly, as it states that a relationship is truly secure only when there is commitment to each other, respect for the rights of each other, and sincerity in intention and action.
In other words, the Quranic view is to prepare a growing and comfortable relationship between married people.
This does not only bring comfort to the husband and wife but also gives a good atmosphere in the home, which will reflect onto society at large.
