Marriage Ceremony


Here are two sample formats of wedding ceremony. It is by no mean obligatory or necessary to use them in this order, form or shape. It can be done in the name of God and His blessing in any format that suit each couple and each community.

(1)

I seek refuge in GOD, from Satan the rejected
In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you.

Person doing marriage service:

We are gathered here to witness the marriage of Mr.......... and Ms......

Marriage, like all of God's provisions is a sign and a gift for us:

"Among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other, and He placed in your hearts love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think. " [30:21]

This gift is thankfully accepted, for God tells us:

... "The more you thank Me, the more I give you...." [14:7]

Bride :

God, I thankfully and joyfully accept this gift from God of .......as my husband.

Groom :

God, I thankfully and joyfully accept this gift from God of .........as my wife.

Person doing marriage service, as he lights candle:

"GOD is the light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a concave mirror behind a lamp that is placed inside a glass container. The glass container is like a bright, pearl-like star. The fuel thereof is supplied from a blessed oil-producing tree, that is neither eastern, nor western. Its oil is almost self-radiating; needs no fire to ignite it. Light upon light. GOD guides to His light whoever wills (to be guided). GOD thus cites the parables for the people. GOD is fully aware of all things. "[24:35]

Husband and wife together:

God, take our will and our life.

Guide our marriage.

Show us how to live.

Our best wishes to the couple.
