Nikah

BOOKING A NIKAH

Assalaamu ‘alaykum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh,

In Islam marriage being an obligatory act is so important that it is declared to be one half of single Muslim’s faith.

We can also say that Marriage is Half Deen of Muslims. It is narrated by Anas that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half.”

Our Holy Prophet Hadhrat Muhammad (PBUH) also married and encouraged others to get married by saying:

“A person who he is able to support a wife and children and does not marry then he is not from us.”

There are some reasons due to which Islam so much emphasized on Marriage which we have listed below:
–  Marriage is one of the most liked Sunnah in Islam as our beloved Prophet (SAW) married and also encouraged others
– It is a bond of love not just only between two persons but between two families
– It provides tranquillity, peace, and security

Taking the above into consideration the Committee of Masjid Ul Imam il Bukhari after consultations have decided that anyone planning to have their Nikah in this Masjid would have to have their civil marriage registered and provide a copy of the certificate prior to the Nikah being performed.

We feel that this step especially with the unfortunate current trend is necessary with the view to protect both bride and groom entering into marriage and to safeguard them from any potential issues further in the marriage.

The Home Office rules regarding marriage since 2005 have been:

People who are subject to immigration control who wish to marry in the United Kingdom (UK) must either:
– Hold entry clearance as a Fiancé/e or marriage visitor, or
– Hold Home Office certificate of approval, or
– Be a person with settled status in the UK (e.g. indefinite leave to remain)

To proceed with the Nikah service at this Majid we would require a two weeks’ notice and the fee of £100.00.
