Nikah in Islam- Benefits and Commitments

Wedlock (nikah) is a solemn and sacred social commitment between bride and groom. This contract is a solid settlement as expressed in Quran 4:21. A individual may inquire; what's the importance of Nikah? Many of us consider it only as a bonafide way of satisfying one's desires. Is this correct? In the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah what must one understand regarding privileges of the wife and husband? How must a husband behave towards his wife and how must she react in return? These and various other points are seriously worth focused on, as their answers might not be identified by all. Islamic Marriage or Nikah is a socially or ritually known unification or genuine agreement between couples that secures privileges and commitments between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. Islamic wedding gets underway with looking for an proper spouse, and is solemnized with an commitment of wedding, the contract, and the wedding ceremony. This kind of home induces and insures equity and relationships, and is a form of shelter stuffed with calmness, contentment, security, and continuity.

The value of Wedlock in Islam can be seen in the words of Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that "The person who marries has completed half of his faith. Therefore let him beware of Allah for the other half." Wedlock (nikah) is regarded as an act of worship (ibadah). It is virtuous to execute it in a Mosque keeping the wedding ceremony simple. The marriage ceremony is a social as well as a religious activity. Islam recommend simpleness in ceremonies and parties. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) viewed simple weddings the best events: 'The best wedding ceremony is that upon which minimal hassle and expense is bestowed".

Customary Islamic matrimony requires a proposal, acceptance, agreement upon the Mahr, signing of the marriage contract in the existence of two witnesses, and publicizing the marriage. Family members play a major role along the way as loved ones have been viewed as the bedrock of society in the course of Islamic heritage, giving the required physical and moral help to uphold wholesome and prolonged families.

Nikah is an natural necessity of male and woman, and a means for the preservation of the human race. Furthermore, not only is Nikah desired ideal, but its ongoing fulfillment and safekeeping have in actual fact, been emphasized. Because of nikah, a lady who was initially disallowed to view, now not only becomes legal for sexual connection, for her husband but she, furthermore becomes his soul-mate to share in each other's delights and sorrows.



Fundamentals of Islamic Marriage:
The requirements of having at least two males or a male and two females as witnesses who simultaneously observe wedding solemnization is a must to the credibility of the Islamic marital contract, and in the case where both the "husband to be" and "wife to be" are present before the person solemnizing the marriage.
