In Islam, there are various reasons to urge marriages such as its benefits in safeguarding one’s faith, protecting a Muslim from sins of adultery, homosexuality and much more. Marriage not only protects yourself but also plays an important role in the upbringing of righteous children and upspring. It takes away the possibility of all evils because after marriage a Muslim is supposed to engage himself with a partner he or she shared a life with!
It is the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet PBUH as stated in Holy Quran,
“O’ mankind! Have consciousness of your Lord who has created you from a single soul. From it He created your spouse and through them, He populated the land with many men and women. Have a spiritual awareness of the One by whose Name you swear to settle your differences and have respect for the wombs that bore you. Without a doubt, Allah (SWT) keeps watching over you all.”(Surah Nisa, Verse 1)
