The idea that “marriage fulfills half of the religion” means that getting married is really important for your spiritual and personal growth in Islam. It helps build your character by teaching patience, care, and responsibility. Marriage also leads to more good deeds, like providing for your family, which counts as acts of worship. Plus, it gives you a better understanding of qualities like mercy and generosity—traits that reflect Allah’s attributes. So, marriage not only helps you grow as a person but also deepens your connection to Islam and your understanding of Allah.
