NIKAH
Allah ﷻ, The Almighty and Majestic Says in the Qur’an:
(Holy Quran, Chapter 30, Verse 22)
“And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.”
