marriage
Marriage is one of the Sunnahs of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Messengers before him, and the instinct that God created his creation upon. The Prophet urged and encouraged marriage, especially for the youth group. Many verses and honorable hadiths were mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and in the Sunnah that show the legality of marriage, its purposes, and its rulings.
God Almighty said: {And indeed, We sent Messengers before you, and appointed spouses and offspring for them} [Al-Ra’d: 38], as stated in the honorable hadith in the story of the three who came to the homes of the Prophet’s wives asking about worship, and when they answered, they felt that it was scarce, and that they could do more than that, so the Holy Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to them: (Are you the ones who said such-and-such? By God, I am the God-fearing and God-fearing of you, but I fast and break the fast, pray and sleep, and marry women. Whoever deviates from my Sunnah is not of me) [Sahih Bukhari].

The basis for choosing each of the spouses
- Religion: Religion is the goal and the first requirement, so if the religion of each of the spouses is correct, then each of them knows his rights and duties, and seeks to satisfy each other, then a cohesive and solid family that enjoys happiness and tranquility will arise.
- Good manners: Misery and unhappiness is for a person to live with someone whose morals are bad and obscene. Abnormality, miserliness, lying, and arrogance destroy the family and its happiness.
- Beauty: A quality that each spouse seeks in his partner, but beauty should not prevail over religion and morals.
- Honor, lineage and lineage: Honor, chastity, purity and a high standard are what both spouses are looking for.
- the money: Money is a necessary and urgent requirement, and it is one of the basic requirements when a man proposes to marry a girl, and the least possible is the ability to secure basic duties.
