The Virtues of a Righteous Wife: A Blessing from Allah

The Importance of a Righteous Wife in Islam

Reference: Majmoo’ al-Fataawa 35/299

The righteous woman will remain in the company of her husband – if he is a righteous man – for many years. She is the ‘enjoyment’ that the Messenger of Allaah (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) spoke about,

This world is only enjoyment, and the best of its enjoyment is a righteous believing woman. If you look towards her, she amazes you; if you encourage her with something. She obeys you; if you are absent from her, she preserves you within herself and your wealth. [1]

A ‘righteous woman’ is what the Prophet (sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered in his statement when the Muhaajiroon asked him, “What type of wealth should we acquire?”

He replied,

A tongue that is in constant remembrance, a heart which is grateful or a righteous woman who helps you in your Faith. [2]

Love and mercy that Allaah has blessed her with through His Book emanates from her. So sometimes the pain of separation (divorce) is more severe upon her than death, it is more severe than the disappearance of wealth and more severe upon her than leaving her country. More so when there exists a [deep] relationship between each other or if they have children who will be ruined and their situation destroyed if the husband and wife separate.
