Assalamualaikum...Today's entry will be presenting on marriage as known as "Nikah". As we know definition of marriage is that, it is a solemn and sacred social contract between bride and groom. This contract is a strong covenant (mithaqun Ghalithun) as expressed in Qur'an 4:21). The marriage contract in Islam is not a sacrament. It is revocable. In the mutual agreement between bride and groom, both parties mutually agree and enter into this contract. Both bride and groom have the liberty to define various terms and conditions of their liking and make them a part of this contract.
Islam has a complete guideline in every single thing in human life including in marriage. Upon the marriage process, the marriage-gift or "Mahr" is a divine injunction. The giving of "Mahr" to the bride by the groom is an essential part of the contract. ALLAH S.W.T. said in The Holy Qur'an: 'And give the woman (on marriage) their mahr as a (nikah) free gift" (Qur'an 44)
