Mufti Menk – Can You Skip Marriage

			I'm trying to get married for many years. Each time anyone shows interest in me, they disappear.
lose interest. I'm losing. I'm losing hope as I'm getting older, can I choose never to marry?
		

			The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells us in one of the Hadith that Nika and marriage is
from the Sunnah is from the way of the Muslim in, in fact, at the time of the messenger, sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. There were three people who heard about his acts of worship, and they thought that
this is the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and his sins have been forgiven. So what about
us, so one decided that he would never get married, when the messenger salAllahu alayhi wa sallam
heard about this, he became very upset. And he told them that the deen has a balance. And he
mentioned the example of himself. He says that he also got married. So for a person to say I will
		

			never get married, then this is incorrect, rather from the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam as to us, is a person tries their best to get married and when you are searching for that
spouse, it's also an act of worship because you're trying to fulfill the commandment of Allah and
His messenger and understand and realize that upon you is the effort. And Allah subhanho wa Taala
what he has decreed for you will definitely come your way. Ask a lot of people you find examples,
those who you know, sometimes a person in one hit, they meet one person and they get married and
they carry on and this those who are probably the majority they met a person didn't really work out
		

			then they had to meet somebody else and somebody else and somebody else, and eventually it works out
so we make dua to Allah subhana wa Bucha Allah that he grant those who are an unmarried May He grant
them the best of spouses. I mean
