Virtues & Benefits
This ayah, when recited with the intention of strengthening the marital bond through remembrance of Allah, helps in fostering a relationship where both partners are each other's support in seeking closeness to Allah. It prompts us to pray for divine mercy, which is essential for any relationship to flourish, and for 'right guidance' (rashada) which ensures our actions and decisions align with Allah's pleasure. A spouse who reminds you of Allah and the Hereafter is truly one of the greatest blessings, as seen in another hadith: 'The world is a pleasure, and the best pleasure of the world is a righteous wife' (Sahih Muslim 1465).
