We Muslims must not forget the teachings of our beloved Prophet Mohammad (SAW).

That video troubled me so much that I picked up my pen to protest against such a thing. The man was unable to sleep due to the loud music being played in his neighbourhood. I saw a viral video on social media a day back where a person showed a loud wedding in his vicinity at around 3:30 am, the time when the true believers of Allah get up to pray Tahajjud. Kashmiri people have taken to the path of making weddings so loud that people in the whole colony gets distracted. Such families who spend quite lavishly on weddings take it as a matter of social status and an opportunity to show off their wealth and power in society. Sometimes the bride’s family forgets the sad truth that she’s leaving them and starting a new life. Maybe people believe that the more money they spend on weddings, the more prosperity they bring to the home. It seems more show-off than a religious obligation.

However, we see how lavishly people perform Nikahs nowadays. Hence, it should be fulfilled with the most simplicity and performed without pomp and extravaganza. He conveyed to all the believers that Nikah is that Sunnah which brings a believer closer to Imaan. As we are the believers of Allah and belong to the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), we are obliged to follow his actions and words. Marriage called ‘Nikah’ in Islam is one of the noblest Sunnahs performed by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in his life.
