thought id start a thread abt the none islamic traditions at weddings cuz i was reading 1 of them litl fisabilillah books abt it and then also happened 2 see it on the hassan and habibah show on islam channel which was a coincidence!
anyhoo most ppl on this forum r either bangladeshi or pakistani so we hav a similar stuff happening at our weddings.
ppl theez days just wanna follow the latest bollywood/hollywood/celebrity "fashion" without lukin up the roots e.g. where the tradition comes from. some come from christianity, hinduism and also paganism astaghfirullah! why are people in this day and age so eager to copy the disbelievers when Allah swt has blessed us with the best way of life 2 lead?
Allah swt says: "Verily, this is my way, leading straight: follow it. Follow not other paths: they will scatter you about from His great path. Thus He commands you, that you may be righteous." (Al-An'am:153)
Ive noticed in some weddings i went to that even tho they may be segregated, some of the bros always seem 2 go in2 the sisters section just bcuz their sister is there or their relative is gettin married or sumthing. some sisters c weddings as an occasion 2 propa doll up and 4get about the hijab and the concept of modesty. k thats aight if its only women but nowadays bros will c u (even if its nt in the actual hall).
sum ppl waste sooooooooooooo much money on weddings and also sumtimes fall into debt or riba (interest) cuz they take out loans. what is the need 4 a limosine? (howeva u spell it)
Allah swt says: "But squander not your wealth in the manner of a spendthrift, verily spendthrifts are brothers of the shaitaan, and the shaytaan is ungrateful to his Lord." (Al-isra:26-27)
"....And waste not by excess: for Allah does not love wasters." (Al-An'am: 141)
sum of yous may think well if they hav the money and can afford it why not? i say if they hav the money y not giv loads 2 charity and keep things simple?
