Wives and Good Treatment to Their Husbands Allah (s.w.t.) said: "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." Sura al-Room, No. 30, Verse 21 When the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.k.) received some information from 'Umm Salamah about 'Uthman ibn Maz'un, he set out towards his followers and, (addressing some of them), said: "Do you keep away from (your) wives? Surely, I go to women, I eat food during the day, and I sleep at night. So, he who turns away from my way of life is not of me."

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 7, p. 214 Imam Baqir [a] said: "He who takes a woman (marries) should certainly respect her, because the wife of anyone of you is a means of your pleasure, so the one who marries a woman should not spoil or disgrace her (by disregarding her respectable rights)."

Wife And Pleasing Her Husband Imam Baqir [a] said: "No intercessor for a woman, on the Reckoning Day, is more effective with Allah than the consent of her husband." Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 81, p. 345 Imam Abi-l-Hassan-ir-Rida [a] narrates from Imam Amir ul Mu'mineen Ali [a] who said: The best women among you are those who have five qualities." Amir ul Mu'mineen [a] was requested what those five were when he said: She is easy-going, obedient, humble, and economical to her husband. She is good tempered to him. She is cooperative and helpful to him in difficulties. Whenever her husband is angry or depressed, she does not rest until she finds him happy and pleased. When her husband is absent from her, she protects his belongings in his absence. Such a woman is an agent of the agents of Allah and the agent of Allah will not be disappointed, (she gains her correct hopes)." Al-Kafi, vol. 5, p. 324 Imam Sadiq [a] said: "Any woman who spends the night

Divorce and Its Effects Allah (s.w.t.) said: "And when you divorce women and they reach their prescribed time, then either retain them in good fellowship or set them free with liberality, and do not retain them for injury, so that you exceed the limits; and whoever does this, he indeed is unjust to his own soul; and do not take Allah's communications for a mockery, and remember the favor of Allah upon you, and that which He has revealed to you of the Book and the Wisdom, admonishing you thereby; and be careful (of your duty to) Allah, and know that Allah is the Knower of all things."
