In Islam, a good wife is considered to be the greatest blessing in this world. Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al ‘As, may Allah be pleased with them, related that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him said: “This world is a blessing for us, and the greatest blessing in it is a good wife.”
Islam gives us guidance to help a man to choose a good wife because they will share the rest of their life together and she will be the mother of his children and keeper of his secrets, and she will instruct their children in the traditions and teachings of Islam. The Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, said: “Man wishes to marry a woman for four reasons: her wealth, her family, her beauty or her Deen (the practice of Islam). Catch the one who upholds the Deen, or you will not be able to fulfill all your wishes. (Bukhari and Muslim)
What are the characteristics of a good wife in Islam? The Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, said: “The best wife is the one who when you look at her you will be happy that she is your wife. If you ask her to do something she will do it, and when you are away she will keep herself only for you and protect your property.” (An-Nasai) He warned us against marrying a beautiful woman with no deen. He once said to his Companions: “I warn you against marrying Khadaru ad-damin!” “What is Khadaru ad-damin?” asked the Companions. He replied: “A beautiful woman from bad family. She will weaken your Islam, spoil your children and bring you many problems. (Addaru Kutuniyya)
