The Virtues of Marriage in Islam

Getting married in Islam is a recommended Sunnah worship. It is even mentioned that marriage is a way to perfect a Muslim's religion. Marriage is also a way to avoid adultery and sin. Therefore, Islam highly honors marriage.

Marriage is also referred to as a sacred moment that must be carried out with many preparations such as mental and financial readiness. This readiness to get married will have an impact on the future of married life.

Nowadays, the desire not to get married is increasingly expressed openly by the society. The emergence of domestic violence, harassment, imbalance of domestic tasks, and poor communication from various cases makes people afraid to get married.

As Muslims, it is good to understand the virtues of marriage first so that we do not see this worship as a mere show off. Because in marriage, there are many things that must be understood so that it does not end up in things that are prohibited by religion.

Here are some virtues of marriage in Islam that need to be understood:

1. Marriage aims to control lust and avoid actions that are hated by Allah SWT, namely adultery.
2. Marriage will also bring peace to the heart, as the purpose of life can be more directed by having a happy and supportive family.
3. Marriage is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He advised his people who are physically, mentally, and financially capable to hasten to get married with a righteous spouse.
4. Marriage is an effort to perfect the religion.

Prayers for Getting Married According to the Sunnah

Wedding ceremonies are usually attended by relatives, friends, and school or workmates. If you attend a wedding invitation, it is advisable not to forget to give congratulations and the best prayers for the bride and groom.

Quoting from the book Al-Adzkar al-Muntakhabah min Kalami Sayyid al-Abra by Muhyiddin Abu Zakaria Yahya bin Syaraf al-Nawawi al-Dimasyqi, there are prayers for newlyweds that we should say to the newly married couple after the marriage contract. Here are the prayers for people who are getting married according to the Sunnah mentioned in the book:

  بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِيْ خَيْرٍ. بَارَكَ اللهُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمَا فِيْ صَاحِبِهِ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِيْ خَيْرٍ

Baarakallahu laka wa jama’a bainakuma fi khairin.Baarakallahu likulli wahidin minkuma fi shahibihi wa jama’a bainakuma fi khairin.

Meaning: "May Allah bless you both and gather you both in goodness.May Allah bless each of you with your partner, and gather you both in goodness."
