Let the Wedding Held In Simple, Do not Overstated

By: Ibn Tiangfei

Marriage is something noble in the sight of Allah. Almost all people in the world longed for a wedding. Not just Muslims alone, people of other faiths also crave a wedding. Therefore, perhaps only a fool or a loss of a mind that does not want to get married.

Marriage is the nature of human life. Marriage in accordance with Islamic sharia is the only way for humans to be able to meet the needs of their lust. Apart from these ways, then including adultery and legal actions are unlawful. Adultery is a sin, including

a severe punishment. Regarding the punishment for
adultery will be discussed in another article.



Hadith narrated Abdullah radi 'anhu, he said: I asked the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam: "Sin is the greatest in God?" The Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "You make allies of Allah, when He Who created you" . I said: "Truly, this is a big sin. Then what else? "He replied:" You kill your children for fear of being poor. " I asked again: "Then what?" The Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied: "You committed adultery with your neighbor's wife." (Narrated by: Muslim).

Islam is a religion that is easy, for Allah 'Azza wa Jalla always want the convenience to each of His servants. This is according to the word of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla,

"And he never makes to you is a narrowness in religion." (Surat al-Hajj: 78).

"Allah intends for you ease, and does not want hardship for you". (Surat al-Baqara: 185).
"So fear Allah and according to your ability to listen and obey." (Surah Taghabun: 16).

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Verily this religion is easy".

"If I tell you with some business then do it as best you."

So it is with marriage problems. Marriage in accordance with Islamic sharia is easy. 'Uqbah ibn' Amir radi 'anhu said: "The Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said,

"The best wedding is the easiest". (Narrated by Abu Dawood (no. 2117), Ibn Hibbaan (no. 1262 al-Mawaarid) and ath-Thabrani in Mu'jamul Ausath (I/221, no. 724)).

It was very inappropriate if holding a wedding ceremony with a luxurious atmosphere, excessive in cost. Plus if the bride's dowry demands are too high to the groom. If the groom comes from a wealthy family, perhaps these things can still be met. What if the groom came from poor families who have little income? Is not dowry that is luxurious and expensive it will be a 'wall thickness' for the man to marry a woman that her idol? Marriage is supposed to be easy going to be difficult. Marriage should be a means of worship for the sake of improving the quality of faith and piety towards Allah 'Azza wa Jalla, turned into a means of' buying and selling 'between the groom with the bride. Finally, with a very forced the men and women to delay their desire to get married. If you do not have a strong foundation of faith, maybe they'll find another way to meet the needs of individual desires (naudzubillah).

In the book 'Islamic Fatawa Regarding Women' Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said, "Marriage with dowry (dowry), which is very expensive and a sumptuous feast is something that is contrary to the sharia. The most blessed marriage is marriage with the cost / burden less. Any reduction in the burden / cost of the wedding, then bertambahlah blessing.

Allah 'Azza wa Jalla has banned any act exaggerated. In the Qur'an, Allah Almighty says,

"... And do not be exaggerated. For Allah loves not those who exaggerated." (Surat al-Anam: 141).

Currently, many people are given the temptation of the abundant wealth. If not balanced with a strong faith, they tend to be tempted to exaggerate in holding wedding parties.

Therefore, the more simple and easy to hold wedding parties and ask for a dowry, then the easier the rescue of the sanctity and honor of men and women. This means the less heinous act (adultery) and kemungkaran, and the number of Muslims growing a lot.
