Marriage is<\/a><\/strong> considered to be a great blessing from Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) says in the Qur\u2019an,<\/p>\n

“And one of His signs is that He has created for you, spouses from amongst yourselves so that you might take comfort in them and He has placed between you, love and mercy. In this there is surely evidence (of the truth) for the people who carefully think.” (Surah 30, Verse 21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Through the wedding, Allah blessed the couple<\/a><\/strong> to find happiness and achieve modesty and chastity.<\/p>\n

Weddings are supposed to be a joyous occasion. But how do we arrange and celebrate<\/a><\/strong> a wedding in an Islamic way? This blog post will Inshaa Allah cover a few points.<\/p>\n

Regarding the wedding in an Islamic way, the Prophet (SAW) said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no marriage except<\/strong><\/a> with a guardian.\u201d (Narrated by Abu Dawood (2085), at-Tirmidhi (1101) and Ibn Maajah (1881), and that, one must, \u201cproclaim marriages.\u201d (classed as hasan by al-Albaani).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scholars are of the opinion that announcing a marriage is one of the conditions of the marriage being valid, as the Prophet (SAW) said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no marriage except with a wali (guardian) and two witnesses of good character.\u201d (Saheeh by al-Albaani).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From these hadith, we learn that regarding the arrangement of the wedding, two Muslim witnesses of good character, and the bride’s\u2019 wali (guardian) must be arranged for. Furthermore, we should proclaim the marriage, and this can be done by inviting our friends and families to join in the celebration of the wedding in an Islamic way.<\/p>\n

How should it take place???<\/h3>\n

Regarding the party itself, there are no specifics. One is free to do as per their culture. However, we must stay away from what is against the Sharee\u2019ah in this regard (i.e., pagan rituals, innovations, anything that causes shame or embarrassment, etc.).<\/p>\n

One must not be extravagant but should arrange a wedding party according to his\/her means. Allah (SWT) says we must protect ourselves from spending well beyond our means. Many people go into large amounts of debt just so they can show off and have a large party. But<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.\u201d (17:27).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore we must protect ourselves from spending well beyond our means. Many people go into large amounts of debt just so they can show off and have a large party. But It is not Islamic.<\/span><\/p>\n
