Marriage Is A Practice Of The Prophet

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) indicated that marriage is part of his Sunnah, and that whoever neglects it is not of his true followers. Even though he derived the greatest pleasure and highest satisfaction from the prayer, Allaah's Messenger (SAW) expressed that he still had the desire for worldly pleasures such as women and perfume. This is only natural for a human messenger. Anas (RA) reported that Allaah's Messenger (SAW) said: “Of your worldly life, I have been made to desire women and perfume, But the satisfaction of my eye has been made in the salaah.

Aa‟ishah (RA) reported that Allaah‟s Messenger (SAW) said:

“Marriage is a sunnah (way) of mine; and whoever does not follow my Sunnah is not of my followers. Marry because I will display your outnumbering the other nations on Resurrection Day. Whoever has wealth should marry, and whoever does not should fast, because fasting is a restraint for him."
