Once, a companion asked the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, “What is the right of a wife over her husband?” 
The Prophet PBUH replied,  

“That he feeds her when he eats, clothes her when he clothes himself, does not strike her on the face, and does not abandon her except within the house.” — (Abu Dawood) 

This short exchange, therefore, beautifully captures how Islam promotes kindness, equality, and respect in marriage. Moreover, the relationship between a husband and wife is not just about living under one roof, rather, it’s about sharing love, mercy, and compassion. 

Husband and Wife Quotes in Islam 

Quranic verses on marriage and spousal rights provide guidance for couples on journeying through life together. So, let’s explore some beautiful quotes about husband and wife in Quran and Hadith, that highlight the deep emotional and spiritual bond encouraged by our faith.

1. “And We created you in pairs.”  

(Surah an Naba 78:8) 

This verse reminds us that marriage is part of Allah’s divine plan. Indeed, every man and woman is created to complement one another. In other words, a husband and wife are not just companions, rather, they complete each other emotionally, spiritually, as well as physically.

2. “They are clothing for you, and you are clothing for them.” 

Surah Al-Baqarah 2:187 

This beautiful metaphor shows how deeply Islam values marriage. Indeed, just like clothes provide comfort, protection, and beauty, a husband and wife are meant to protect, support, and also beautify each other’s lives.

Moreover, they cover each other’s weaknesses, bring ease and look good together in every walk of life. 

3. “And of His signs is that He created for you mates so you may find peace in them, and He placed between you love and mercy.” 

Surah Ar-Rum 30:21 

Sukoon, muhabbat and rehmah. These are three ingredients that turn a house into a home. Therefore, whenever life feels hard or misunderstandings arise, remember to return to this verse. Moreover, keep in mind that your spouse was sent by Allah as a source of peace, not as a source of pressure of love, not burden.

4. “Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and our offspring comfort to our eyes.” 

Surah Al-Furqan 25:74 

Make this beautiful dua together after every Salah. Indeed, it is a heartfelt prayer asking Allah to bless your home with happiness, guidance, and righteous children. Moreover, such children can Insha’ Allah become a source of pride, comfort, and joy, rather than worry or pain. 

5. “The best of you is those who are best to their wives.”  

Hadith, Tirmidhi 

Ultimately, a true man is not defined by his paycheck or car keys, but rather by how he treats his wife when no one is watching. Indeed, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH taught that real greatness in Islam lies in kindness and respect towards one’s wife.  

Moreover, a man’s true character is shown in the gentleness of his behavior behind closed doors. Which highlights the importance of sincerity and integrity in private as well as in public.

6. “When a husband and wife look at each other with love, Allah looks at them with mercy.”  

Hadith, Bukhari 

Such a heartwarming message! Indeed, even a simple act of love and affection between spouses invites Allah’s mercy into the home. In fact, this shows how Islam appreciates love within marriage.

Furthermore, Islam teaches that genuine affection between husband and wife isn’t just emotional; rather, it’s spiritual, serving as a reflection of divine compassion and blessing.

7. “When a husband feeds his wife a morsel, he earns the reward of sadaqah.” 

Hadith, Bukhari 

Notably, in Islam, romance isn’t about grand gestures. In fact, it’s found in the smallest acts of love done sincerely for the sake of Allah. For example, even a simple dinner shared with kindness, a smile, or a gentle word becomes an act of worship.

Truly, that’s the beauty of an Islamic marriage where love turns into ibadah, and consequently, every moment spent together earns blessings.

سنن أبي داود 

اگر میں کسی کو حکم دیتا کہ وہ کسی کے آگے سجدہ کرے۔ تو میں عورت کو حکم دیتا کہ وہ اپنے شوہر کے آگے سجدہ کرے۔ اس کے حق کی عظمت کی وجہ سے

مَنْ صَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا، وَصَامَتْ رَمَضَانَ، وَحَفِظَتْ عِفَّتَهَا، وَأَطَاعَتْ زَوْجَهَا، أُذِنَ لَهَا أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَيَّةَ بَابٍ شَاءَتْ 

أحمد، الطبري 

جب کوئی عورت پانچ وقت نماز پڑھتی ہے۔ رمضان کے روزے رکھتی ہے۔ اپنی عفت کی حفاظت کرتی ہے اور اپنے شوہر کی اطاعت کرتی ہے۔ تو اسے کہا جائے گا۔ داخل ہو جاؤ جنت میں جس دروازے سے چاہو
