ISLAMABAD: Masjid Rehmat ul Alamin F/8 in Islamabad has established a free-of-charge marriage hall in the federal capital to help deserving families celebrate their daughters’ weddings with respect and dignity.

This compassionate initiative aims to make the special day of deserving families even more memorable by providing a free-of-charge marriage hall equipped with a stage for the bride and groom, as well as crockery, tables, chairs, and trained waiters to serve food to the guests of orphan and deserving brides.

The hall has a three-hour time limit and includes a stage for the bride and groom. The mosque management allows parents to either solemnize the Nikkah of their daughter themselves or choose a Khateeb of their choice for the ceremony.

To book the hall, deserving parents can contact the mosque management committee.

Taj Qamar, a member of the mosque committee, said that the marriage-related activities will continue uninterrupted even during prayer times.

He advised people to associate the departure of their daughters with the call to prayer (Azan) and prayer (Salah) to eliminate some superstitions and create a blessed environment that will facilitate a new life.

According to Qamar, the mosque recommends that families planning to attend the event should limit the number of guests to 100 or 120 individuals, with an equal number of men and women, and prioritise Islamic teachings while avoiding extravagance by religious teachings.

To ensure a successful event, three men and three women from the family should take responsibility for arranging and maintaining order, with one man and one woman appointed to oversee the event and ensure that the mosque administration does not participate in the ceremony.
