<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) When a man is blessed with a wife whose religion and reason are sound, then this is the best of the worldly enjoyment.<br> 2) A righteous woman is the best provision that helps one have a safe journey to the Hereafter.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> When Allah Almighty mentioned the blessings he bestowed upon His slave Zakariyya (Zachariah, peace be upon him), He said: {and We amended for him his wife} So, it is an indication of the slave’s good understanding of the religion that he seeks to reform his wife because reforming her is a reform to the whole family. This can be achieved by some matters including the following:<br> 1- That he himself adheres to obedience to Allah Almighty, for the husband’s righteousness is a reason for the wife’s righteousness.<br> The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Establish the prayer, give charity, perform Hajj and ‘Umrah, and be upright so that others would be upright by following your way.” [Narrated by Al-Tabarāni in his three Mu‘jams on the authority of Samurah]<br> 2- That he educates her within an environment of servitude to Allah Almighty: {Whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, while being a believer, We will surely grant him a good life} [Surat al-Nahl: 97]<br> 3- That he constantly asks Allah Almighty to mend his wife: {and those who say, “Our Lord, let our spouses and children be a source of joy for us} [Surat al-Furqān: 74]<br> 4- That he remains patient before temporary bad manners that his wife might show: {it may be that you dislike something which Allah has put much good in it.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 19]<br> 5- That he ensures that his earnings are lawful, for it is the means to blessings, goodness, success, and prosperity: {O messengers, eat from the lawful things and act righteously} [Sūrat al-Mu’minūn: 51]
