O peerless Lord! In Thine almighty wisdom Thou hast enjoined
marriage upon the peoples, that the generations of men may succeed one another
in this contingent world, and that ever, so long as the world shall last, they
may busy themselves at the Threshold of Thy oneness with servitude and worship,
with salutation, adoration and praise. “I have not created spirits and men, but
that they should worship me.” [Qur'an 51:56]
