NAZRUL & SITI FAIRUZ BIG DAY
08 09 2009

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Nikah (marriage) is my Sunna. He who shuns my Sunna is not of me.”

To Nazrul and Fairuz

'May you lead a happy life as a wedded couple till death doth you apart'

Traditional Muslim weddings are always events of a lifetime, with every friend and distant relative attending, lavish costumes often adorned with gold or silver jewelry, and precise religious rituals to be followed. Thus you can imagine how much preparation and effort have to be put in for the miles long guest list to be pampered and the traditions and rich customs to be observed over a period of days and nights. The entire event planning could backdate a year earlier than the set wedding date.

Nevertheless, weddings are happy occasions and I, for one welcome these auspicious moments, especially those of beloved relatives. I see these moments as times where one deepens and strengthens one ties. These gatherings also act as platforms for the third generation family members to get to know the older ones and continue the family roots to replace the previous generation.

Who else in the Sheikh Madar Clan is getting married? Do let us know in advance.
