Re: Qur'an holding tradition during Rukhsati
i agree with the majority.
The basic way we have our weddings have nothing to do with what has been recommended us to do. Do as much as you can afford. But most things that happen in our wedding now a days are not in the right direction, therefor the "barkat" seem to be disappearing more and more from peoples life's, so they're is really no need to fool one self by holding the qur'an over the head thinking it will send automatic barkat on the couple.
The fact and truth is our religion and the way we are recommended to have the weddings in is very simple and easy, we make it difficult with all the weird traditions.
I even know this one family where the dude washed the girls feet with milk ?
and i even saw this one shaadi on tv some muslim shaadi where the girl after the NIKKAH touches the grooms feet?!!! i mean are we seriously loosing it ?!!
anyways thats total off the topic,
but lol im still in shock after that video..
it is merely a cultural tradition.
For me it has no meaning.
as someone said its better that the groom and bride pray to naf'l together and start their life's with the blessings from Allah(swt.) directly by praying then holding a "book" over there heads.
