“O, children and grandchildren of Adam, indeed We have sent down to you clothes to cover your nakedness and fur (as clothing to decorate yourself). (However,) the best clothing is righteousness. What are some of the signs (power) of Allah so that they always remember.” (QS 7:26)

“If a woman is worried that her husband will be Nusyuz or be indifferent, the two can make true peace. Peace is better (for them), even though humans are by nature stingy. If you do good and take care of yourself (from Nusyuz and indifference) verily Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” (QS 4:128)

“Among His (greatness) signs is that He created partners for you from (kinds of) yourselves so that you may find peace in them. He made between you love and affection. Verily in that, there are indeed signs (of Allah’s greatness) for a people who think.” (QS 30:21)
