Ambur, May 24: The Ahle Sunnathwal Jamaath, based in Ambur, Tamil Nadu, has announced a significant initiative aimed at emphasizing the importance and sanctity of Nikah (marriage) in Islam. Recognizing marriage as a sacred bond and a tradition of the Prophets, the organization has expressed concern over the rising trend of dissolving marriages over trivial matters, leading to the breakdown of families and homes.
In response to this pressing issue, Ahle Sunnathwal Jamaath has decided to establish a structured counseling system for Nikah. This initiative aims to educate the community about the virtues and significance of marriage, and to provide guidance to both prospective brides and grooms along with their families.
For the past year, efforts have been made to raise awareness on this topic, but various challenges have hindered full-scale implementation. Now, under the patronage of Ahle Sunnathwal Jamaath and the guidance of Jamaat-ul-Ulema, Ambur, the counseling sessions will be formally introduced.
The program will include separate sessions for the bridegrooms and their guardians, and for the brides and their guardians. Esteemed scholars will provide detailed insights into the subject during these sessions.
The first counseling sessions are scheduled as follows:
– For Bridegrooms and their Parents: Wednesday, May 29, 2024, after Maghrib prayer.
– For Brides and their Parents: Thursday, May 30, 2024, after Maghrib prayer.
The sessions will take place at the Patel House, 4/9 Big Mosque Street, Ambur-635 802. In keeping with tradition, the Nikah ceremonies will continue to be held in the mosque and not in wedding halls or other venues.
It is mandatory for all engaged couples to attend these counseling sessions following this announcement.
The Imam of the mosque is requested to read out this announcement after the Jumu’ah (Friday) prayers to ensure the community is informed.
For further information, Shahabuddin, President, Ahle Sunnathwal Jamaath, Ambur may be contacted.
