Islam provides clear household guidelines to obtain harmony (sakinah). However, many contemporary Muslim families face dynamic challenges, particularly debates surrounding the role of wives. While previous studies have examined family harmony from various perspectives, empirical research on the lived experiences of Salafi wives remains limited. This study addresses that gap by exploring how the wives of Salafi ustadz in Jember understand and practice household harmony within the framework of Islamic teachings. Using a qualitative case study approach with purposive sampling, ten respondents were interviewed and observed. The findings reveal five key perspectives on achieving harmony: (1) choosing a religious husband; (2) possessing and applying Islamic knowledge; (3) maintaining good communication; (4) orienting toward afterlife happiness; and (5) prioritizing faith over emotional dependency. At the same time, they identified four major challenges: (1) balancing domestic and gendered responsibilities; (2) negotiating religious identity in a conflicting social environment; (3) addressing emotional and communication needs; and (4) managing economic difficulties. This study contributes to Islamic family law and gender discourse by demonstrating how Salafi wives integrate Quran- and Sunnah-based principles into family life while navigating modern household dynamics.

The wives of Salafi ustadz ground household harmony in piety, religious knowledge, and steadfast faith, viewing it not merely as a social expectation but as a deliberate religious practice.They navigate contemporary challenges—shifting gender roles, economic pressures, and social influences—by adhering to Islamic principles.Maintaining harmony involves choosing a religious husband, possessing Islamic knowledge, fostering good communication, orienting towards the afterlife, and prioritizing faith over emotional needs.These findings highlight the importance of reinforcing Islamic family values through community programs and premarital counseling to strengthen family resilience and reduce divorce rates.

Further research should explore the impact of economic empowerment on the well-being of Salafi wives, investigating whether financial independence strengthens or alters traditional family dynamics. Additionally, a comparative study examining the experiences of Salafi wives across different regions of Indonesia could reveal variations in their approaches to household harmony and the challenges they face. Finally, longitudinal studies tracking the long-term effects of religious education and community support programs on marital stability within Salafi families are needed to assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at promoting harmonious family life. These studies should employ mixed-methods approaches, combining quantitative data on marital satisfaction and divorce rates with qualitative interviews to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of Salafi wives and their families, contributing to more effective family support policies and interventions.
