Islam has not only permitted Nikah but encouraged it.
Islam emphasised its importance on Muslim society, All Muslim are
commanded by Allah (SWT) to engage in Nikah and actively support each
other in this endeavour:
In Quran 24:32; Arrange the marriage of the spouseless among you, and
the capable from among your bondmen and bondwomen. If they are poor,
Allah will enrich them out of His grace. Allah is All- Encompassing,
All-Knowing. Muslim women also commanded by Allah (SWT) to choose a
suitable spouse: Quran 2:232; When you have divorced women, and they
have reached (the end of) their waiting period, do not prevent them
from marrying their husbands when they mutually agree with fairness.
Thus the advice is given to everyone of you who believes in Allah and
in the Hereafter. This is more pure and clean for you. Allah knows and
you do not know. In fact, Allah (SWT) describes his special blessings
to Prophets (AS) having granted them wives and children: [Quran 13:38]
We have sent messengers before you, and gave them wives and children.
It is not for a messenger to bring a verse without the will of Allah.
For every age there are some rules prescribed. Our beloved Rasul-ullah
(Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) also commanded Muslims to engage in Nikah
as it is best for their character and modesty and helps them with
guarding their gaze. Narrated 'Abdullah (RA): We were with the Prophet
(S.A.W) while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's
Apostle (S.A.W) said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry,
should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his
modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual
intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as
fasting diminishes his sexual power." [Bukhari].
May Allah make easy for all Muslim Brothers and Sisters in the World.
