What Is Nikah
Nikah is a sacred marriage contract in Islam that makes the relationship between a man and a woman lawful in the eyes of Allah. It’s not just about reciting a few verses but about a mutual agreement (Ijab and Qabul) , witnesses , and mahr (bridal gift) , which make intimacy legitimate. The purpose of nikah is to build a bond of love, mercy, and faith within a lawful framework—just as learning from a Quran teacher ensures proper understanding and practice of Allah’s words.
So a pledge between a bf and gf can be regarded as a formal nikha cuz it also involves loyalty and secrecy? 🤔🤔
