"To Allah ˹alone˺ bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and the earth—willingly or unwillingly—as do their shadows, morning and evening."

‎“Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allaah, so do not fall short with regard to the rights of Allaah, for anyone who does that, Allaah will seize him and will throw him on his face into the Fire of Hell.”

‎[Sahih Muslim 657]

‎Al-Teebi رحمه الله said:

‎“The reason why Fajr prayer is singled out for mention here is because of the hardship that it entails, and performing it is a sign of a man’s sincerity and faith, and whoever is a sincere believer is under the protection of Allaah.”

‎[Sharh Mishkaat al-Masaabeeh by al-Teebi 2/184]

‎“The hadeeth indicates that it is forbidden to harm any Muslim who prays Fajr, for the one who prays Fajr is under the care and protection of Allaah, and it is not permissible for anyone to harm the one whom Allaah has protected. If anyone harms him, he has transgressed and violated the protection of Allaah, so he deserves the punishment of Allaah for having transgressed His protection and for harming the one who is under His protection.”

‎(Fayd al-Qadeer by al-Manaawi (6/164)

‎Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ, said in Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (1/591):

‎1. Sakinah (سَكِينَة) – Tranquility / Peace

‎Emotional and spiritual calm that spouses bring to each other. A sense of safety, comfort, and serenity in each other’s presence.

Marriage should be a refuge from life’s stresses, not a source of them.

‎2. Mawaddah (مَوَدَّة) – Love / Deep Affection

‎A deep, active, and compassionate love, not just romantic feelings. Includes care, kindness, and giving to one another.

‎It’s the bond that strengthens over time.

‎3. Rahmah (رَحْمَة) – Mercy / Compassion

‎Forgiveness, patience, and empathy in dealing with each other’s flaws. Especially needed when love might fluctuate or be tested.

A reminder to treat your spouse with gentleness, love and understanding, even in tough times.

‏وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا (لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟) إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةًۭ ( وَرَحْمَةً ۚ) إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ٢١

And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
