Quick fact: Righteous women are obedient and, in the absence of their husbands, they are guardians, as stated in the Holy Quran in Surah An-Nisa.

Explanation

This question is derived from Surah An-Nisa (verse 34) of the Holy Quran, which describes the qualities of righteous women. The verse states that righteous women are obedient to Allah and their husbands, and in the absence of their husbands, they guard (their chastity, property, and secrets) with Allah's protection. This is an important Quranic teaching that clarifies the relationship between husband and wife and the responsibilities of women.

Good to know

In verse 34 of Surah An-Nisa, men are declared as the protectors (qawwam) of women, and two important qualities of righteous women are mentioned: obedience (qanitat) and guarding in absence (hafizat lil-ghayb). The term 'hafizat lil-ghayb' means guardians in the unseen (i.e., in the absence of the husband). This guardianship encompasses chastity, property, and confidentiality.
