SJC provides the services to perform “Aqd” or Nikah” for Muslims according to Islamic guidelines

 

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

• The couple marrying needs to get a marriage license from PA.

• SJC needs a copy of the official city license for their records.

• We arrange to get Imam to perform nikah as soon as possible 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 nikah will guide the marrying couple to arrange possible alternatives depending on their options. If the options meet the Islamic requirements, the nikah will be performed.

• The groom with consultation and approval of the bride offers in writing the Mahr (Dowry)  to the bride to be recorded on the certificate of Nikah.

• The nikah details are recorded in a prescribed form It is 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. SJC keeps the copy for their records.

• The official city marriage license is then signed by the person performing the Nikah. Original license has to be mailed to the city for registration of the marriage.

• The Nikah fee is $300.00. (This fee ONLY when Nikah performed at SJC Masjid. Not for outside)

• Payment should be cash or check payable to SIRAATUL JANNAH CENTER
