Notices, events, and announcements from Golden Marriage Media
The engagement period (khitbah) is a promise, not a marriage. Knowing what it does and does not permit prevents both confusion and sin.
Islam unites believers across every culture. Marriages between Muslims of different backgrounds can be rich and beautiful — with understanding and effort.
A marriage flourishes when both spouses understand not only their own rights but, more importantly, their duties toward each other.
The wali is not an obstacle — he is a protection. Understanding his role, his responsibilities, and his limits is essential for every Muslim woman seeking marriage.
Islam neither demands marrying a stranger nor permits unrestricted dating. The middle path — a structured, supervised acquaintance — is both wise and lawful.
Mahr is an obligation, not a negotiation. Dowry is a cultural practice, not an Islamic one. Understanding the difference protects both parties.
The Prophet ﷺ gave us four criteria. Understanding what they mean — and which to prioritise — is the foundation of a blessed marriage.
