In surat an-Noor, Allah (swt) makes a statement about marriage that almost sounds like a command! He says “Marry the singles among you!” but today we as a community are experiencing a marriage crisis. There are of course the challenges that couples face, and the unfortunately high rates of divorce in our society, but even more significant is the number of obstacles that prevent young Muslims from finding a spouse and fulfilling this established sunnah of Rasulullah (saw). Marriage is one of the most powerful relationships that anyone could ever experience in this life. It both reveals who you truly are and it becomes a powerful force for change and growth, but all of this requires that we unshackle the tradition of marriage and revive healthy marriages in our community.
