Marriage also follows the example of the Prophet and the messengers before him. When approached sincerely, it is an act of worship that helps Muslims protect themselves and earn rewards from Allah. The khateeb encouraged young Muslims who are ready and able to pursue marriage with trust that Allah will help and bless them.
