‘’They (your wives) are your garment and you are a garment for them’’ (Nobel Holy Quran; Surah Baqara, Verses: 187)
A husband and wife's connection is beautiful, closer, rewarding, and serene. It is friendship, which Allah Himself has created a desire for in every human heart. The Qur'an encourages this partnership, emphasizing its significance.
The core purpose and philosophy of marriage in Islam are revealed in this verse of the Quran. A wife and husband should have the most personal and loving connection possible, according to Islam. The interests of the... another partner should be covered, protected, and maintained by each. The following are some of the practical consequences of this profound and revolutionary verse:
Responsibilities are Shared
The fact that a man and a woman are both referred to as clothes shows that they are on an equal footing when it comes to sharing the obligations of marriage.
They are Really Close and Intimate with One Another
The husband and wife should be so near and intimate to each other that there should be no secrets between them, as the clothing completely covers the body; there is no space between the garment as well as the body. Both have complete trust in each other and freely communicate their pleasures and concerns.
Keep Each Other Safe from All External Threats
The garment's priority is to keep the body safe from the elements. As a result, the husband and wife defend each other from any external threats and work together to create a house and a peaceful haven from the stresses of daily life.
It Combines Charm
Clothing not only provides protection for the body but also adds beauty and charm to it. Similarly, husband and wife should not only protect and cover one other from external problems, pressures, assaults, and so on but do it with quiet dignity.
Devices that Protect Each Other are from Spiritual Dirt
Spirit's eyes prevent dirt from getting on each other's bodies, and it also helps to keep the heart clean from filth. As a result, Allah has appropriately referred to each other as clothing.
Feelings of Safety and Security are All Around You
Our clothing serves as a barrier against pollutants entering our bodies. Similarly, marriage must be a connection that is protected by sentiments of protection and security. This also reminds us that third parties should not become involved in every minor disagreement or dispute.
It's Like Being Close to A Husband and Wife
Only husband and wife can legally get closer to each other in Allah's universe, which is impossible for anybody else because clothes adhere to the flesh of the body the most. Clothes are close to you, but your bare skin lies beneath them. In this way, a spouse is emotionally and physically close to you.
They're at Comfort with One Another
The clothes are soft and comfortable. When a person is with their spouse, they are at ease and their hearts are at ease. When one is in distress, one can relax around their spouse and find solace in them and their words.
Teaches Not to Reveal Each Other's Faults to Others
Clothes hide and screen you. A husband and wife should not talk about one other's flaws in public or complain against their spouse to outsiders.
Conclusion
Our garments are the closest object to our bodies that has no barriers. Just like garments are near to the body, the husband and wife should be close to one other. They should be forthright, truthful, and transparent. They should be able to express their ideas, concerns, and accomplishments without fear of being dismissed, condemned, or embarrassed.
Clothing serves as a sort of defense. They serve to hide our flaws. A husband and wife must guard each other against external threats as well as the evil within themselves.
