Revisiting the information that is already known to one is like polishing it. This is the reason some of our articles will guide you through the Fiqh of Nikah under the Holy Qur’an and Islamic law. Understanding something from the roots is always better than having an ambiguous amount of rumors. To begin with the Fiqh of Nikah, we will discuss a brief introduction in this article.
A brief introduction.
The underlying meaning of Nikah is a marriage contract which sanctions the intercourse between husband and wife both socially and legally. Qur’an mentions it as the union of two souls. Every plan made by Allah has a deeper meaning which is beyond the understanding of humans. The wisdom behind marriage is very simple if one looks at it carefully. Human beings are interdependent creatures and we have needs and desires other than food, clothing, and shelter. The sexual desires of a person are fulfilled by Nikah as it permits the two for the intercourse and knows each other closely. Not only this, it is really difficult to survive all alone in this world. We all feel the need to be loved and taken care of. All this cannot be done any better than our spouses who are with us in our joys and sorrows. Nikah has a greater impact if we look beyond the perspective of an individual. Nikah helps to preserve mankind and helps to extend families. Nikah is such a promise where mother and father promise to take responsibility for the upbringing of their children. As more Muslim brothers and sisters undergo Nikah, we have larger Muslim families who can help to spread Islam all over the world.
In Qur’an, Surah al Nisa, 4:3 talks about how Allah has made Nikah as half of the Deen for any Muslim. It is the Sunnah that was fulfilled by the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). He married Muslim women and set the example of leading a happy married life with children and grandchildren around.
