Marriage has been ordained by Allah as the correct and legal way to produce children and replenish the earth. The family is the basic unit of an Islamic nation or society. Allah has made the desire for mates and offspring instinctual for mankind and animals. Life on earth continues through children and children are the products of marriage. Nevertheless. marriage in Islam can not be viewed merely as means for uniting the male body with a female body and producing offspring. nor was marriage instituted just for purposes of satisfying natural desires or quenching passions. Its goals are much deeper in meaning than those obvious physical realities. Allah, the Most High, illuminates this fact in Chapter at-Room of Quran:
''And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you might live in tranquility (li-taskunoo) with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are signs for those who reflect.''
''And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you might live in tranquility (li-taskunoo) with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are signs for those who reflect.''
