The 13 steps of a Muslim wedding include Salatul Ishtikara, Imam Zamin, Mangni, Manjha, Mehndi, Sanchaq, Baraat, and the arrival of the groom. The Salatul Ishtikara is a pre-wedding ritual where the imam performs a prayer to seek Allah’s blessings for the marriage. The Imam Zamin ritual follows the Salatul Ishtikara, and the Mangni ceremony is considered the engagement ceremony.
The Nikah ceremony is the marriage contract and ceremony that officially binds a couple in the eyes of Allah. Mahr is a key concept associated with Islamic marriage. The ceremony is divided into several parts, each with its own meaning. Celebrating Muslim weddings goes beyond vows and rings, honoring love, cherishing family, and embracing timeless traditions.
The official Nikah ceremony has two aspects: verbal and written. The verbal aspect involves both the bride and groom responding “Qubool” (meaning “I accept”) three times to the Imam, while the written aspect directly after involves signing a marriage contract. Most Muslim weddings will include a Nikah/katb Al kitab (the signing of a marriage contract), a presentation of a Mahr (a.k.a. the marriage contract).
Muslim wedding receptions often include familiar wedding reception traditions like cake cutting, first dance, speeches, parent dances, and the recitation of Fatihah (the first chapter of the Quran). The bride and groom are responsible for the vows and blessings, as well as the recitation of Fatihah (the first chapter of the Quran).
