Buddhism 📖 Pali Canon (Sigalovada Sutta): "In five ways should a husband minister to his wife... by being courteous, by not despising her , by being faithful, by handing over authority to her, by providing her with adornments." English Translation: Marriage in Buddhism is a civil contract and moral commitment based on mutual respect and duties. Across all major world religions, marriage — often referred to as Nikah — is regarded as a sacred, purposeful, and socially essential bond between a man and a woman. While the methods, rituals, and expressions vary from culture to culture and scripture to scri pture, the core remains the same: marriage serves as a moral foundation for love, companionship, and responsibility. Religions like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism all recognize marriage as a vital institution that promotes societal harmony a nd individual growth through mutual respect and commitment. However, among all these perspectives, the Islamic concept of Nikah stands out with unmatched balance between spirituality, legality, and emotional depth. In Islam, Nikah is not only a social co ntract but also a sacred covenant ordained by Allah, designed to create tranquility ( sukoon ), mercy, and love between spouses. Unlike other systems that may emphasize formality or tradition, Islam places equal emphasis on rights, duties, mutual consent, an d divine blessing — making it a complete, dignified, and compassionate model of marital life. 📌 Importance of Nikah in Islam (Sunnah, Worship, Purity) – With Quran and Hadith " ً َ فَانكِحُوا ًمَا ًطَاب ً ً ا لَكُم ًمِ ّن َ ًالنِّسَاء ِ ًمَثنَى ًوَ ثُلاَ ث َ ًوَ رُ بَاع َ ً ًفَإِن ًخِ فتُم ًأَلا َّ ًتَعدِلُوا ًفَوَ احِ دَة " ( النساء: 3 ) "Then marry those that please you of women: two or three or four. But if you fear you cannot be just, then [marry only] one." (Surah An - Nisa: 3) " ً َ وَ مِ ن ًآيَاتِه ِ ًأَن ًخَلَق َ ًلَكُم ًمِ ّن ًأَنفُسِكُم ًأَزوَ اجاا ًلِّتَسكُنُوا ًإِلَيهَا ًوَ جَعَل َ ًبَينَكُم ًمَّوَ دَّة ا ًوَ رَ حم ً ا ة ۚ " ( الروم: 21 ) "And among His signs is this: that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find tra nquility in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy." (Surah Ar - Rum: 21) " النِّكَاح ُ ًسُنَّتِي، ًوَ مَن ًرَ غِب َ ًعَن ًسُنَّتِي ًفَلَيس َ ًمِ نِّي " ( صحیح مسلم ) "Marriage is my Sunnah, and whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me." (Sahih Muslim) " النكاحًلاًرهبانيةًفيًالإسلام " ( سنن ابی داؤد، حدیث: 2042 ) ۔ " "There is no monasticism in Islam; marriage is part of the religion." (Sunan Abi Dawood, Hadith: 2042) " إذاًتزوجًالعبدًفقدًاستكملًنصفًالدين،ًفليتقًاللهًفيًالنصفًالباقي " ( سنن النسائی، حدیث: 3211 ) "When a servant marries, he has completed half of his faith; let him fear Allah in the remaining half." (Sunan an - Nasa ’ i, Hadith: 3211) 2. Importance of Nikah in Islam (Sunnah, worship, purity) The Importance of Nikah in Islam (Simple Explanation) Nikah in Islam is a sacred relationship established for th e pleasure of Allah. This bond is based on love, tranquility, and mercy, as the Quran mentions that Allah has placed love and mercy between spouses. Nikah shields a person from sins and guides them towards purity. The Prophet ﷺ declared marriage as his Sun nah, and said that whoever turns away from it is not from him. Islam does not promote celibacy; it is a religion based on nature and balance. Nikah completes half of a person's faith, and for the other half, it is essential to fear Allah. This bond is not just physical, but also spiritual, emotional, and moral. The importance of this relationship is repeatedly emphasized in the Quran so that Muslims take it seriously. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged young people to marry to avoid falling into sin. Marriage unites hearts and improves life. If the intention is pure, it becomes an act of worship Definition of Zina in Islam and Other Religions 1.
