Masjid An – Noor

Marriage Services

Masjid An-Noor provides the services to perform “Aqd” or Nikaah” for Muslims according to Islamic practice of marriage principles.

When a Muslim has already decided to marry the person of his or her choice, we arrange to perform the Nikaah at Masjid An-Noor. The process is outlined below:

  • The couple marrying needs to get a marriage license from any city in the USA.

  • Masjid An-Noor needs a copy of the official city license for their records.

  • We arrange to get Imam to perform Nikaah within seventy two (72) hours from the time the copy of the marriage license is submitted to us.

  • We require the presence of two Muslim witnesses for the groom and a guardian (wali) for the bride.

  • The ideal guardian for the bride is the father of the bride. In the absence of a father for the bride, the person performing the Nikaah will guide the marrying couple to arrange possible alternatives depending on their options. If the options meet the Islamic requirements, the Nikaah will be performed.

  • The groom with consultation and approval of the bride offers in writing the mahr or sadaq to the bride to be recorded on the certificate of marriage.

  • The Nikaah details are recorded in a prescribed form signed by the bride, the groom, the guardian and the witnesses. A copy of that certificate is provided to the bride and to the groom. Masjid An-Noor keeps the copy for their records.

  • The official city marriage license is then signed by the person performing the Nikaah. Masjid An-Noor representative will take the original license and mail it to the city for registration of the marriage.
