2026-03-12T09:57:02+00:00

This study aims to analyze the meaning of the hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) concerning four factors considered in choosing a spouse: wealth, lineage, beauty, and religion. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method and the ma' ani al- ḥadīth analysis to examine both the textual and contextual meanings of the hadith. The findings indicate that the mention of these four factors in the hadith is descriptive of the social realities of society rather than a normative sequence that must be followed. The Prophet Muhammad explicitly directed Muslims to prioritize religious commitment as the primary criterion in selecting a life partner. The study demonstrates that religion and moral character serve as the fundamental foundation for building a harmonious and sustainable household. Academically, this research contributes to strengthening the contextual understanding of hadith and highlights its relevance in addressing the growing tendencies of materialism in contemporary marriage culture.

The phenomenon of baby blues is a psychological condition commonly experienced by mothers after childbirth, characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, irritability, and emotional exhaustion. This article aims to examine the baby blues phenomenon from the perspective of the Qur'an by analyzing the story of Maryam in Surah Maryam, verses 16–26. The study employs a thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhū'ī) combined with a religious-psychological approach to explore the meaning and psychological relevance of Maryam's story in relation to the mental health conditions of contemporary mothers. The findings indicate that Maryam experienced severe psychological pressure during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, as reflected in her verbal and emotional expressions. The Qur'an, through this narrative, conveys significant messages about empathy, spiritual support, and the importance of social assistance for women undergoing psychological distress after giving birth. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic psychology by proposing a Qur'anic-based reflective framework that integrates spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions in addressing maternal mental health.
