And when He [God] desired to manifest grace and beneficence
to men, and to set the world in order, He revealed observances and created
laws; among them He established the law of marriage, made it as a fortress for
well-being and salvation, and enjoined it upon us in that which was sent down
out of the heaven of sanctity in His Most Holy Book. He saith, great is His
glory: "Marry, O people, that from you may appear he who will remember Me
amongst My servants; this is one of My commandments unto you; obey it as an
assistance to yourselves."
