Every human has physiological and psychological requirements that need to be fulfilled.  Islam being the most natural religion of all is a strong advocate of marriage. The Prophet (PBUH) said “there is no celibacy in Islam”. Islam never recommends extremes in any matter of life including marriage for its believers.

 As narrated by Anas bin Malik “Three men came to the houses of wives of Prophet (PBUH) and asked how the Prophet worshiped Allah, and when they were informed about that, they thought their worship being insufficient and said, “Where are we from Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven.” The other men said, “I will offer prayer throughout the night forever.” The third one said, “I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever.” Allah’s Apostle came to them and said, “Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he, who does not follow my way in religion, is not one of my followers.” Islam wants every believer to live in this world in a natural way and does not allow him to follow the path of celibacy at all and prescribes for him marriage unless there is some strong reason to not do so.
