dish with the blessings of the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Hikayatayn Aur Nasihateen, p. 540, slightly amended with amendments)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Undoubtedly, many marriages are taking place and will continue to take place, however, the honour of such a simple yet great marriage was only given to the beloveds of Allah Almighty and those who were close to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. There is no sign of extravagance and undertaking of hardship, however, every Muslims wishes for the same, there is no sign of overindulgence yet it is being praised even today.

It was not the case that they could not have had a grand marriage, rather, if the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had indicated to his servants, then none would be able to match it or compete with it. However, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had chosen simplicity as his way, lest his nation fall into hardship and into the burden of debt. Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه indicates to this and says:

The best example to follow for the marriages of your children is the blessed marriage of the princess of Islam, Sayyidatuna Fatima-tuz-Zahra رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا. (Islami Zindagi, p. 54)

Dear Islamic brothers! Not only is Nikah a Sunnah, but it is a great gift which is bestowed by Islam for the fulfilment of a person’s natural requirements, thus, we should adopt the Islamic way of Nikah and perform marriages in full accordance with the teachings of Islam. Fireworks, the singing of women, dancing, not covering properly, music, instruments, drums, making videos, etc., should be avoided, because playing music and dancing is Haraam and are acts that lead to Hell. Let us listen to a terrifying incident and take heed from it:
