| Summary: | Marriage is an important institution of human life regulating relations between the sexes and Islam makes it incumbent on every Muslim man to lead a married life
as that can lead to a virtuous life free from
immorality and emotional inhibition. The Holy Qur’an says: ‘They(your wives) are as a garment to you, and you as a garment to them’.
The husband and wife are for mutual support, mutual comfort and mutual protection, fitting into each other as garments fit into each other. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said, “O ye young people, whoever can afford marriage should marry, for that will help him lover his gaze
and guard his modesty. Whoever is not able to marry is
recommended to fast, as fasting diminish es (his) sexual power”.

In another version
by Al-Bayhaqi, it reads: “W
hen a man gets married, he
gets one half
of the religion. Thus, he should fear Allah in the ot
her half”. Abu
Hurairah reported that the Prophet (
s.a.w.
) said: “There are three
people whom Allah (s.w.a)
will surely help: a warrior
in the cause of
Allah, a slave who wants to free himself by a payable contract and
whoever seeks chastity by
marriage”. |
