O Worshipers,
Affection and mercy are the foundation for a harmonious family and the key to happy marriage life. Indeed, those elements are a blessing that Allah the Almighty has bestowed upon his servants. They are also amongst His signs, for the Almighty says, "and of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought." (Ar-Room: 21). So, one of the signs of the perfection of Allah's favours upon mankind is that he placed love and mercy between husband and wife.
