The Spiritual Nature of Marriage
in Partnership with
Marriage is part of my sunnah, and whoever does not follow my sunnah has nothing to do with me. Get married, for I will boast of your great numbers before the nations.
Did you know that when individuals enter paradise, they continually express ‘Salam’, which translates to ‘peace’?
An overwhelming feeling of serenity and tranquility embraces them, as they experience a rush of complete gratification that they have been yearning for their entire lives.
This feeling of intense peace, this profound wholeness, is prompted by the divine act of unification.
Speaking of unification, it is fascinating how the male and female become whole when they come together.
There is a profound tranquility, or Sakina, that occurs at the physical level.
The need to feel complete is deeply rooted in our human nature, driving the intense desire for unity.
Amazingly, this singular desire is mirrored in our craving for unified spirituality.
It becomes a conduit that allows us to gain a glimpse of paradise in which we realize a semblance of wholeness, which our mortal lives may lack.
This ‘wholeness’ is the best-case scenario, though life is not perfect.
In fact, we have to surrender the quest for perfection in this life.
It’s critical to understand that as long as we exist in this world, there will be problems – it’s simply the nature of our existence.
The real challenge is not in eliminating tribulations, but in navigating them in a manner that reinforces our faith and amiability.
The world is full of obstacles and struggles, but it’s not all bleak.
It’s not meant to be torture either.
Sometimes, we create unnecessary problems, often the result of rebellion and human nature.
Yet, these difficulties are also important for spiritual growth.
Our yearning for tranquility, this perpetual pursuit of Sakina, seems to be deeply intertwined with our quest for unity, which the act of marriage beautifully exemplifies.
Allah SWT has bestowed upon us these distinctive facets to reflect upon and appreciate His infinite wisdom and mercy, not to become a source of discord among us.
So, let’s strive to cultivate this reflection and gratitude, as we continue our journey through this beautiful world.
