INTRODUCTION
The innovations incorporated in wedding ceremonies and theviolation of the Shari'ah are alarming to any Allah fearing person, not to speak of the expense incurred at a time whennearly half the Ummah is barely making ends meet.This booklet aims at explaining the origins of wedding ritualsin this day and age, with the hope that individuals can assesshow deeply they have immersed themselves in imitating thenon-Muslims. The social pressures of weddings are analysedand examples of an Islamic wedding from the first generationare cited. Numerous Ayah from the Holy Qur'an and ahadithare also quoted for the unbiased individual to take heed andmake an objective view.We pray to Almighty Allah that this booklet becomes a sourceof inspiration to conduct weddings in accordance with theShari'ah-Ameen.
“O Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam) and from him He created his wife (Eve), and from them He created many men and women. Fear Allah throughWhom you demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah ever watches over you.”

the All Mercifulhas promised to shower upon us. Unfortunately many of ourintentions and actions have become diametrically opposed to Islamicteachings.One such great misery upon our community is to be witnessed at weddings. This great event where the union of two individuals shapestheir whole future life together has become an occasion of obsceneviolation of the Shari'ah. It is an occasion in which Allah's

have a question for peadohphile mohammed...if u look back in to prophets life...he revealed ALLAH's messages before he married ayeisha...well when its mentioned in Quran that one can marry multiple wives with the terms and conditions and still states that it is not possible to treat all of them equally (thts how its not possible to practise plygamy)...how the hell did mohammed marry aiesha? do u mean that he treated all his 22 wives equally which is ruling out what is mentioned in Quran ( did he defy ALLAH) or was he an exception to QURAN??? well if so much emphasis was made on marriage why the hell did he have concubines why didnt he marry them? didnt he know brotherhood or there was no dictionary for sisters that he had to marry everyone including his adopted sons wife...well i call him a child molester a paedophile..and an incest old sick B who married his daugter in law...and he married ayeisha did he ever think that if he had daughters they wud have been older than her when he was 52...what answer do u have moronic followers of prophet...i guess its the most disgusting thing ever...the whole hadees is a LIE...follow teh gud in QURAN and leave the rest to the sins of mohammed
