"Dream - In the midst of the dynamics of modern life, the role of a wife in the household often undergoes significant transformation. No longer trapped in traditional stigma that requires them to fully manage household affairs, today’s wives have the freedom and opportunity to pursue careers, education, and their personal dreams. This new understanding emphasizes that a wife's duty is not solely to manage the household, but rather to collaborate in building a harmonious and balanced family."

The success of a household is not measured by who does more housework, but by how each family member supports and appreciates one another. Thus, a wife has the freedom to explore her potential without feeling burdened by binding norms. In fact, it is also explained in Islam that managing household affairs is not an obligation for a woman.

"If you want to do it, then it becomes a Sunnah worship that can add rewards for her. So, what is the role of a wife in Islam? Here is the explanation as summarized by Dream through various sources."

A husband serves as the leader of the family, while the wife is the leader in her husband's household. The wife plays a role in balancing the husband's duties, which he cannot attend to due to the need to earn a living. In this case, it certainly requires an agreement between both parties to complement each other's shortcomings and strengths. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"The husband is the leader of his family, and he will certainly be held accountable for his leadership. And, the wife is the leader of her husband's household, and she will certainly be held accountable for her leadership." (HR. Bukhari)"

The next duty of a wife in Islamic teachings is to manage household needs. The wife has a role to be able to manage household needs well. The goal is to build a happy family from the perspective of household needs. One thing that the wife can do is to plan monthly shopping and save expenses in the household.

"Home is a place for shelter and family gatherings. Therefore, it should be a comfortable place to live. Now, the wife's duty is to decorate her home to make it beautiful, tidy, and clean. Thus, after a day of activities, one can rest comfortably at home. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Part of the happiness of the son of Adam is a righteous wife, a tidy house, and a good vehicle." (HR. Dialami)"

Sure! Here’s the translation while preserving the HTML tags: "Lalu, what does a beautiful and comfortable house look like? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A house that is adorned with the recitation of the Quran will radiate light until it is unseen by the inhabitants of the heavens, just as the stars radiate light that is visible to the inhabitants of the earth." (HR. Baihaqi)"

Religion is an important aspect that must be held firmly by every Muslim, especially in family life. Because it is this religion that is the key to creating a happy family, both in this world and the hereafter. Indeed, Allah SWT has reminded us through His words that someone who always remembers Allah SWT will have their life enveloped in tranquility.

For husband-and-wife pairs, their home is a palace that contains happiness and an abundance of affection. Through the tenderness of a wife within it, the home is like a paradise for her husband and their children. Allah SWT says: "And among His signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility and comfort in them,"

"and He has made between you a feeling of love and compassion. Indeed, in that are truly signs for a people who reflect." (QS. Ar-Rum: 21)
