FAQs
Question
What is a Nikkah?
Answer
The Nikkah is the religious ceremony required by Islamic law to unite a man and woman in holy matrimony before Allah. This ceremony holds an important place of honor among many families, even if they ascribe to more Western philosophies regarding marriage. Couples will stand before the ceremony leader, traditionally an imam, and say “I accept” three times. After this portion of their vows has been completed, they will sign the marriage contract and officially be joined as husband and wife. During the Nikkah, two male witnesses will make sure that both the bride and groom are giving their consent to the marriage. The Nikkah wedding ceremony binds the couple together and is celebrated by the family members of both the bride and groom. It is a festive celebration, often complete with food or sweets that all guests will partake in when the ceremony is complete.
