As a Muslim looking to get married, which newspaper should you advertise in?

Muslim marriages are known as Nikaah. According to the Holy Quran, a Muslim wedding is considered a garment. This implies that just as real clothing protects us from the outside world, husband and wife are seen as protectors and comforters of each other from the outside world. 

The Nikah ceremony is performed in a mosque and the imam of the mosque officiates the wedding. The Nikkah is a prophetic tradition and the only permitted way for a man and a woman to get married. This ceremony formalizes the marriage because, in the Islamic tradition, a couple is not allowed to be intimate without Nikah. The Nikah legitimizes the marriage before God and that’s when the couple says, “I accept”. Just like any other marriage, someone has to propose to begin the Nikaah process. The groom is obligated to give Mahr to the bride. In between the proposal and the acceptance, the couple can meet as often as they want to get to know each other. The Qabool is acceptance of the proposal, but it is not necessary for anyone to accept the proposal right away. To officiate the Nikaah two male witnesses are required. Once all these requirements are met the Nikaah can be officiated.

The first step to your beautiful yet simple Nikaah is finding a suitable groom or bride. Looking for a suitable partner through ads in the newspaper is still a prevalent approach in the Muslim matrimonial community.
