Muslims Marriage and Traditions
Simple Nikaah - Leading by Example
Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi Saheb (rahmatullahi �alaih) performed his daughter�s nikaah in Gangoh according to the sunnah without any customs and innovations. Her in laws requested for the �baaraat� to come over. (Baaraat refers to a large group of people from the boy�s party who come to the home of the bride.) Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) replied, �No baaraat will come here. The purpose of the baaraat is to guard the jehez and I do not give any jehez. Hence no baaraat should come.� Thus the boy�s party then requested to bring about 10 people which Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) allowed. Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) did not call the entire family as a normal custom. He only invited a few relatives and performed his daughter�s nikaah in a very simple manner in exchange of the mahr-e-Faatimi. In this same simple manner Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) performed his niece�s nikaah in Karachi.
Many, who saw this, followed Hazrat�s (rahmatullahi �alaih) example when their daughters got married. Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) received numerous letters saying that if marriages continued in this way many useless customs and innovations would be abolished. At the same time the Ummah�s financial resources will be saved. Hazrat (rahmatullahi �alaih) desired that all Muslims follow this simple manner in their weddings. (Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi (rahmatullahi �alaih) � His life and works, pg. 118)
