Allaah Ta’aala says in the Qur’an,

“Wa min aayaatehi, an khalaqa lakum-min anfosekum azwaajal-letaskonu elayhaa wa ja’ala baynakum-mawaddatan wa rahmatan inna fee zaaleka la-aayaatil-leqaumin yatafakkaroon”
‘And among His Signs is this, that He created for you pairs (wives) from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for the people who comprehend.’ (21/30)

“Wa howal-lazee khalaqa minal maa’e basharan faja’alahu nasaban wa sehraa wa kaana rabboka qadeera”
‘And it is He Who has created man from water, and has appointed from him kindred by blood, and kindred by marriage. And your Lord is Ever All-Powerful to do what He will.’ (54/25)

Rasoolullaah (saws) has said that, If one wishes to meet Allaah with piety and purity, then he should marry a woman and be devoted to the Deen of Allaah. And if one wishes to adopt my character then he should follow my Sunnat (practices) and ‘to get married’ is one of my Sunnat (others being applying itr (attar) and brushing the teeth). He has also said that, The moment a faithful man marries a faithful woman then Shaitaan screams out of misfortune that, ‘This man has guarded two third of his Deen (religion)’ and for the remaining one third he should follow the other obligations of the Shari’at. By doing this, he will indeed save his Deen from the hands of Shaitaan. Whenever someone from his Ashaab (companions) got married, Rasoolullaah (saws) used to say “Kamola Deenohu”,  means ‘His religion has completed.’

Imaam Ja’far us-Saadiq (as) has said that, Four things are from the character of Ambiyaa (as) viz. cleanliness, applying itr, shaving the body hair and marriage. He has said that, five things are the signs of prosperity and good fortune; they are 1) Virtuous wife 2) Righteous children 3) Honest friends 4) Livelihood in the birth place and 5) Llove of Ahl ul-Bayt (as) and Aal-e-Mohammad (as). Rasoolullaah (saws) has said that, A virtuous wife cannot be compared with gold and silver as she is more precious than it and an immoral and disobedient wife cannot be compared with the dust as it is more inferior to it in her character. He has also said, You should not marry a woman for the sake of wealth and beauty as her wealth will tyrannise you and her beauty will destroy you.

Rasoolullaah (saws) has said that, There is no “Tarahhub” (monasticism, bachelorship or shunning marriage) in Islaam. He has said that, ‘It will be a matter of pride for me to see my Ummat in majority on the Day of Qayaamat.’  Islaam encourages marriage which indeed saves the people from all other evil of the society.

Alavi Bohras are now not confined to Vadodara or Mumbai. They are scattered at all places over the globe. Looking at the complexity of the distribution of Alavi Bohra Mumineen it is the wish of Huzoor-e-‘Aali (tus) that in the age of information technology unmarried boys and girls who are in search of their life-partners should come forward and register themselves on one platform (on our website) so that it is easier for the mumineen either to propose or to inquire about specific information for the marriage. It is his wish that every Alavi boy or girl should get his/her partner from Alavi Jamaa’at. With the Du’a and Razaa mubaarak of Huzoor-e-‘Aali (tus) we have materialised our initial efforts to provide basic information of those who have registered where all mumineen will be able to browse the entries freely.
