The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most perfect of the believers in faith is he who is the best of them in conduct, and the best of you in conduct are those who are best to their wives.” [Tirmidhi]
The state of marriage is part of one's adherence to the Sunnah and an exalted state of life indeed. In the words of the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam), it permits one to meet Allah “pure and cleansed” (tahiran mutahharan). A person's behaviour towards his wife is the measure of the perfection of his belief. Marriage must be approached with utmost seriousness, entered with the purest intent, and cultivated religiously as it does not come cheaply and it carries immense reward. The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) called it “his way” (al-nikahu sunnati) and “half of religion” and he also said: “Two rakaat of the married person are better than seventy rakaat of the unmarried.” He also warned that among the greatest of responsibilities that had been placed upon men is that pertaining to the treatment of their wives.
Maha Suci ALLAH yang di tangan-Nyalah segala kerajaan, dan Dia Maha Berkuasa atas segala sesuatu. Yang menjadikan mati dan hidup, supaya Dia menguji kamu, siapa di antara kamu yang lebih baik amalnya. Dan Dia Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Pengampun. (Al-Mulk;ayat 1-2)
