172 / INVOCATIONS CONCERNING MARRIAGE, CONGRATULATING THE NEWLYWEDS, ENTERING UPON ONE’S WIFE, AND CHILDREN

Marriage is a tremendous blessing that Allah has bestowed upon His servants. Through it, countless benefits, advantages, and good ends are attained. It is also among the practices of the prophets and messengers, as Allah Most High says: “We certainly sent messengers before you and gave them wives and offspring.” 1.

Allah Most High mentions marriage in numerous verses of the Quran as an expression of His grace and favor. Allah Most High says: “Allah has made for you spouses from among yourselves, and through your spouses He has given you children and grandchildren, and provided you with good things.” 2. He also says: “And among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find tranquility in them, and He placed affection and mercy between you. Indeed, in that are signs for people who reflect.” 3.

The Noble Quran contains numerous verses commanding and encouraging marriage, explaining its effects and fruits, and setting forth the rights associated with it—such as kind treatment, honorable companionship, refraining from causing harm, and other such guidelines and rights. All of this enables the spouses to enjoy a wholesome life and a harmonious marriage.

The Prophetic Sunnah also contains beneficial invocations relating to the marriage contract, congratulating the spouses upon their marriage, entering upon one’s wife, and sexual intercourse. Observing these invocations and giving them due care brings numerous benefits and blessed effects, yielding goodness, benefit, and blessings for the spouses throughout their married life.

أذكار النكاح والتهنئه به والدخول بالزوجة , والذكر المتعلق با لأبناء ... ١٧٢ / ذِكْرُ النِّكَاحِ وَالتَّهْنِئَةِ بِهِ وَالدُّخُولِ بِالزَّوْجَةِ، والذِّكر المتعلِّق بالأبناء النكاحُ مِنَّةٌ من الله عظيمةٌ على عباده، يتحقَّق به من المنافع والمصالح والفوائد ما لا يُعدُّ ولا يُحصَى، وهو من سُنن الأنبياء والمرسلين، كما قال تعالى: ﴿وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلاً مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجاً وَذُرِّيَّةً﴾ ١. وقد ذكره الله تعالى في معرض التفضُّل والامتنان في آيات عديدة من القرآن، قال الله تعالى: ﴿وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجاً وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ﴾ ٢، وقال تعالى: ﴿وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجاً لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ﴾ ٣. والقرآن الكريمُ فيه آياتٌ عديدةٌ فيها الأمرُ بالنكاح، والترغيبُ فيه، وبيانُ آثاره وثماره، وبيانُ الحقوق المتعلِّقة به، كحُسن العشرة، والصُّحبةِ بالمعروف، وكفِّ الأذى، ونحوِ ذلك من الضوابط والحقوق، مِمَّا يُحقِّقُ للزوجَين حياةً طيِّبةً وعِشرةً صالِحة. وقد جاء في السُّنَّة النَّبوية أذكارٌ نافعةٌ تتعلَّق بعقد النكاح، وبالتهنئة به للزوجين، وعند الدخول بالزوجة، وعند الجماع؛ يترتَّبُ على المحافظة عليها والعناية بها فوائدُ عديدةٌ، وآثارٌ مباركةٌ تعود على الزوجين في حياتهما الزوجية بالخير والنَّفع والبركة.
