This verse emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between the moral qualities of an individual and his life partner, that "a good woman is for a good man, and a good man is for a good woman", which is substantially understood by az-Zuhaili as the principle of moral harmony and equality in human values ​​between husband and wife. This study aims to analyze how az-Zuhaili interprets equality not only as moral equality, but also as the basis for household harmony from a sharia perspective. The research method used is literature study by examining in depth the tafsir of al-Munīr, the works of az-Zuhaili fiqh, as well as relevant literature regarding family ethics in Islam. The results of the analysis show that Wahbah az-Zuhaili understands this verse as an affirmation that ideal marriage is based on moral compatibility, purity of behavior, and equality of dignity between partners.
