Sheikh also focuses on the verse in Surah arRum where Allah Almighty says:
“From the signs of Allah Almighty is that He created for you, from amongst you, your spouses so that perhaps you would take peace and serenity and contentment from her, and He placed between you love (and care) and mercy. Indeed in that (marriage of ours) is a sign for those who reflect (those who ponder, those who deliberate). ”
[30:21]
