Ibn Kathir, in his interpretation of this verse pointed out that 0 Al Ay. Xim (the singular form of il-? Ayamý) is the man who ha's -no wife or the woman who has no husband. He also explained that the verb 'marry' in this verse is imperative i. e. an order to get married, and some Islamic scholars are of the opinion that marriage is compulsory for every Muslim who can afford it. emphasises that as 1 The Qurlan "They (your wives) are your garments, and ye are their garments. " 2 Yousuf Ali explained this verse that "Men and women are each other's garments. i. e. they are for mutual support, mutual comfort and mutual protection, fitting into each other as a garment fits,. the body". 3 The, Qurlan also says: "And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them. and He has put love and mercy between you (hearts). " 4 The Qurlan is awakening the desire for marriage which is recommended in this statement: In the Sunnah "Marry women of your choiCe. 11 , the Prophet stressed the importance of marriage. As'Abdullah narrated : We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So, Allah's apostle said. 110 young peoplel Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because It helps him lower his-gaze and guards his modesty (i. e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc. ) and whoever is not able to marry. should fast. so fasting diminishes his sexual power. 1 Ibn KatOr.

A tradition reported that. "when a man has got married, he has made his religion half perfect. Then let him fear Allah for the remaining half. " The Prophet declared that marriage was one of his most sacred practices and added, "whoever dislikes my way of life is not of me. " 2 He also said, marry and multiply for I will boast about you over other nations on the Day of Resurrection. even about the least among you. " 3 It may demonstrate the importance of marriage that Muslims scholars have differing views regarding the emphasis placed on it. Some scholars were of the opinion that devoting oneself to worshipping Allah is better than getting married. while others had the opinion that getting married is better than such devotion. * Anas Bin M; 71ik narrated that a group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped Allah, and when they were informed about that they considered their worship insufficient and said, "How can we imitate the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven ?" Then one said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the year and will not break my fast. " The third said. "I will keep away from women and I will not marry forever. " Allah's apostle came to them -and said, , "Are you the same people who said so and so ? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of him than you, yet I fast and. break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not ,,,, follow my tradition in religion Is not for me. " 4 Islam thus treated marriage as a fundamental institution. in which husband and wife exercise their rights to physical and spiritual pleasure and stand equal in the sight of their Lord.
