[quote]Dear atirafi Al-Qur’aan speaks of everything that a man has to accomplish in his life time and restrict himself from such things those are prohibited by Allah. Asceticism and Monasticism is prohibited in Islam. Remaining un-married for want of a proper reason amounts to this sort of practice, which is now refined to say a “Bachelor Life.” Al-Qur’aan Surah Al-Hadid, Chapter-57, Verse-27 says : “Then, We sent after them, Our Messengers, and We sent ‘Iesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). Dear atifrafi, please note that the Monasticism was not prescribed by Allah for the followers of Jesus but it was their invention. Still they could not follow it. Meaning they had to resort to illegal sexual contacts. Allah says, He gave rewarded the ones who believed – believed in Allah’s command. Hence, from this you will come to know that anyone who fulfills the command of Allah gets rewarded. When marriage is prescribed for the mankind, a person who marries will definitely gets rewards. A person who makes love with this wife is also rewarded, for his going into the right path and abstaining himself from committing sinful acts and illegal contacts with other women. Moreover, it is clear from the Verse above, that the invention of Monasticism will have no bearing, and the person surely fall prey to Shaitaan. Scientifically speaking, the sex hormones flowing within the body every day will induce everyone to have sexual contact. One CANNOT remain without having sexual intercourse throughout his life, unless he is medically unfit. Such action amounts to sin and to save ourselves from such a sin, marriage is prescribed in Al-Qur’aan. If a healthy bachelor who remains unmarried for no reason tells you that he is sinless and not committed any illegal sexual act, then be sure that he is a liar. See the following verse : Surah Al-Nisa, Chapter-4, Verse-3 : “And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphangirls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the salves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. The above verse gives you clear command to marry up to four women of your choice or stay with only one. This is the command for everyone to get married. Allah prescribes things and prohibits several things in several ways. Allah will not prescribe a thing and prohibit a thing in the way you and I want to see and act. If you still cannot understand and have doubts in your mind, then show me where Allah has not prescribed marriage ? You must point out a verse which commands you explicitly to remain unmarried. OK ? If a thing is described everywhere in a positive manner, and nowhere it is described in a negative sense, then that thing is prescribed for the mankind. If any supplications (dua) of a Prophet or person are mentioned in Al-Qur’aan it means that those supplications are granted by Allah. If such supplications were not granted, then a rejection message also accompanies the rejected supplication. Also read the following Hadith from Sahih Bukhari : Volume 7, Book 62, Number 1: Narrated Anas bin Malik: 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, "Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and 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 from me (not one of my followers)." Your quote: “I really could not understand this point because according to this theory a person to be considered as “Full Moumin” should marry the number of times the Holy Prophet married. ( I think its 9 times, not sure about it ) plus there are many other things which the Holy prophet does but those are noy obligatory for other Muslims just for example the Tahajjud prayer ( Prayer at night ). About Sunnah, what I believe is something which is part of religion. I don't think that every act of the Prophet is Sunnah. Unquote Sunnah means a “rule or way”. Your remaining unmarried is your Sunnah. The regular way of my doing anything is my Sunnah. Like that whatever Prophet (pbuh) did has been his Sunnah. The way Allah commands, give examples etc. are His Sunnah. The multiple marriages of Muslims are curtailed by the Verse-3, of Chapter-4. Even if you marry only one, it is understood that you have followed the way of the Prophet (pbuh). You are allowed to marry maximum 4. If you marry 4, then still you are a follower of Sunnah. If you do not marry, then you are not following the Sunnah of the Prophet and falls outside of his followers as per the Hadith Volume 7, 62-1 of Sahih Bukhari, and several other Ahadiths in that respect. Praying Tahajjud is not made obligatory. But it is Sunnah., because the Prophet was commanded to pray, he (pbuh) did pray. If you pray Tahajjud, it is Sunnah, and if you do not pray, you will not get that part of reward. There is no obligation. Remaining unmarried is not a part of Sharia. The Sharia of Islam does not allow a Muslim to remain unmarried, unless and until he is medically and physically unfit. The reason behind it is simple to understand because, you should not fall prey to false ideology of the Westerners, who want to remain unmarried, without any obligation, invite and breed all sort of indecency in the society, thus becoming a reproduction field for several diseases jeopardizing the lives of several others.
