Islamic Wedding (Nikah)
Masjid Al-Athar provides Nikah services for residents of the local community in the masjid.
Nikah is a traditional Islamic marriage contract that signifies the union between a man and a woman. It involves consent from both parties, witnesses, and a dowry. Nikah establishes rights and responsibilities, encouraging a lifelong commitment based on mutual respect and love within the bounds of Islam.
The Quran emphasizes the divine wisdom behind the creation of spouses, highlighting their role in bringing tranquility and compassion to one another's lives. It portrays marriage not just as a legal contract but as a profound bond ordained by Allah, where affection and mercy serve as guiding principles.
​
"And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect." Surah Rum: 21
​
Through this verse, believers are reminded of the sacred nature of marriage, encouraging appreciation for the blessings bestowed upon them through their marital relationships.
