Since it is Wedding season,i wanted to share something with all of you...
In Islam, the institution of marriage is a sacred one, yet a simple one.
It is sacred because it is an act of worship and it’s simple because our role model, the Prophet (SAW), always kept it simple.
Nowadays, we seem to have been so caught up in rituals and customs that we tend to waste enormous amounts of money and time on things that simply aren’t needed.
Nikah and walimah are both sunnahs (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), so doesn’t it make sense to try to commemorate these occasions in the same fashion as he did?
Anas (RA) describes one of the walimahs hosted by the Prophet (SAW):
“The Prophet stayed for three days at a place between Khaibar and Medina, and there he consummated his marriage with Safiyya bint Huyay (RA). I invited the Muslims to a banquet which included neither meat nor bread. The Prophet (SAW) ordered for the leather dining sheets to be spread, and then dates, dried yogurt and butter were provided over it, and that was the Walima (banquet) of the Prophet (SAW).” (Reported by Bukhari)
In another report, Anas (RA) says that the Prophet (SAW) “gave a wedding banquet with Hais (a sort of sweet dish made from butter, cheese and dates).” (Reported by Bukhari)
The bride and the women miss their Salah coz of mehendi and makeup..
There are useless risams and rituals..haram activities like music,dance,intermixing of sexes..men dont lower their gaze,hijabi sisters get rid of their hijab...
And the dowry-the rich and the poor both take it..
May Allah Guide such people.
Allah does not want to burden you..
Why do you want to burden yourself with unnecessary worries and sins ?
Why not have a simple wedding..a nikah and waleema ?
Why apply mehendi and makeup at times when you are likely to miss Salah?
We spend extravagant amounts of our own money..it’s sad because there are so many better uses for our hard-earned money. After all, the amount of money spent on the ceremony has no positive effect on the life of the couple.
The Prophet (SAW) is reported to have said:
“The marriage which is most greatly blessed is the one which is the lightest in burden [expense]. However, if people are well catered for, without extravagance and show, there is no problem with that either.”
(Reported by Bayhaqi)
For sure, marriage an occasion to celebrate, but why waste enormous amounts of money on a celebration? It’s definitely not how our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) celebrated. In fact, wasting Allah’s bounties is something Allah has warned us against:
“But waste not by excess: for Allah loves not the wasters.” (Quran, 6:141)
Let’s save all that money and keep it for better uses-building a mosque,helping an orphanage or for something that will ensure that you keep getting reward...it would be an investment for the Akhirah !
If we do that with the right intention, we’ll end up saving money and at the same time, we’ll be adding to our good-deed account as well.
After all, who can’t use some extra cash, some extra good deeds, and a greatly blessed marriage ?
Dear Bride and Groom,
You have to stand up and be firm.."you" have to Revive the Sunnah of a simple wedding..
Think about this,
Do you want to please people or your Creator ?
It is all upto you !
If you lay the foundation of your wedding in a halal way that Pleases your Lord,
In sha Allah,your married life will be peaceful,Blessed..
Allah's Special Rahmah will be on you..
That you defied the world to Please your Rabb !
May Allah Guide us and give us the tawfeeq to make our weddings simpler and according to Sunnah !
