Iโve been to a lecture on wedding by almaghrib in edinburgh (it was totally awesome)
Well the Sheikh said that when Prophet Muhammed (saw) got married, that night he would meet his wife and he would put his hand on her head and recite a certain dua (I shall try to find out what it is and post it, if any of you guys know please feel free to post it yourselves )
He would then share a date and a glass of milk with his wife-NOTE Share, ie from same glass. They would then read their namaaz together and sleep and then wake up to read their tahajjud together.
Iโm sure there may have been something else -like a present or something, but I canโt remember what exactly, what I really wanted to get across was the dua. I donโt think many of us know about that (I def didnโt know), I totally want my hubby to be to do that dua as well. (I think my dad said there is also a dua that the girl reads, I thought Iโll learn that by heart closer to my wedding).
Jazakallah. In this day and age when we only relate topics like what to wear and which marriage hall to book and which song to play in the Wedding forum, this is one beautiful thread. Thanks a lot.
Here are some duas related to weddings:
Arrival of a bride
Recite:
ุงููููููู ูู ุฅููููู ุฃูุณูุฃููููู ุฎูููุฑูููุง ููุฎูููุฑู ู ูุง ุฌูุจูููุชูููุง ุนููููููู ููุฃูุนููุฐู ุจููู ู ููู ุดูุฑููููุง ููุดููุฑูู ู ูุง ุฌูุจูููุชูููุง ุนููููููู
โO Allah, I seek the good in it from You and the goodness in the habit and character in her and seek refuge in You from her evil habits and characterโ.
Note: Recite the above dua whilst holding the forehead of the bride for Barakaat (blessings).
(Mishkat from Abu Dawood and Ibn Maja)
Congratulating the bridegroom
Recite:
ุจูุงุฑููู ุงูููููู ูููู ููุจูุงุฑููู ุนูููููููู ูุง ููุฌูู ูุนู ุจูููููููู ูุง ููู ุฎูููุฑู
โMay Allah grant you Barakaat (blessings) and descend His blessings on both of you and keep you unitedโ.
(Ahmed, Tirmidhi)
Intention of having relation with wife
Recite:
ุจูุณูู ู ุงููููููู ุงููููููู ูู ุฌููููุจูููุง ุงูุดููููุทูุงูู ููุฌููููุจู ุงูุดููููุทูุงูู ู ูุง ุฑูุฒูููุชูููุง
โI am having relations in the name of Allah. O Allah save us from Satan and keep him away from the children You grant usโ. The child that is born after the recitation of this dua will never be harmed by Satan.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
Note: This dua must be read for if Allahโs name is not taken, the Satanโs sperm enters with the manโs (As in marginal notes of Hisnul Hasin)
Also I have some islamic lectures on marriage and such if anyone wants
I had heard of this dua, but hubby never read itโฆ we did pray two rakat nafil together and then he read out some everyday duas, i was incharge of saying Ameen
People donโt even take a break do offer their namaz during wedding events anymoreโฆyeh dua toh door ki baat hai. That brings me to the question that are the bride and groom exempt from their namaz at their wedding? *hoping for some diss-kaaaa-shin.:
i noticed that previously in a lot of pakistani weddings i went to, there was no break for namaz. These days, Alhumdulillah, its getting better and some weddings taht I do attend to have namaz breaks. Either way I still manage find a place to pray.
In Bengali weddings, most of the weddings that I have been to do have a namaz break.
Lucky for me, on my wedding , the masjid was right next to the hall, so that was convenient.
Hubby and I basically did the 2 rakahs and the duas as well. It was a nice start to a new beginning together.
niksโฆI think I prayed Asr before I left for the hall. I didnโt end up praying Maghrib at the hall. Hubby went tot he masjid to pray, and when I was alone, my family decided to take pics with me. I did pray both magrib and isha when we came home for the dhood pilai thing.
There is no excuse to miss salaat, weather itโs your wedding or not. Iโve noticed that alhumdulillah now people have began to have prayer calls and set up at wedding, which is great
