Honorable, …………..
Honorable ……………
And Honorable guests of this Wedding Party
Ladies and Gentlemen of Moslem and Moslemah
Especially ……………
And the candidate of couple male and female
My brother Moslem and Moslemah
I bear witness that there is no God but Allah
And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the Messenger of Allah
Firstly, let us thank to God Allah SWT, who has given us the blessing and the merciful so we can sit here, at the Golden Dome Mosque, Depok West Java-Indonesia to witness the marriage of Miss. Winy Utami Sutanto with Mr. Adam Joseph Agardy. We hope this moment can run well and smoothly.
Secondly, let us send Shalawat and the salutation to our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his family, who has brought us from the darkness into the lightness.
Respectful audiences and the happy couple to-be
Let us praise and gratitude Allah SWT for His abundant mercy and rewards to us, that we can gather in this proud mosque, The Golden Dome Mosque in Depok West Java, to witness together the covenant of marriage between Miss Winy Utami Sutanto and Mr. Adam Joseph Agardy. Hopefully this covenant of marriage which will be carried out soon can run well and smoothly.
Shalawat and salam may still be given abundantly by Allah to our Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon Him), who has brought us from the darkness era to the path full of light of the truth. And these are also to His family, friends and companions.
The happy couple to-be
My brother and sister, God willing both of you will perform the covenant of marriage according to the Islamic law in a moment. You have to know that marriage is not just a social contract, but it is a holy and strong tie (mitsaqon gholidho) as a sign of true love between a man and a woman toward a sakinah mawaddah warahmah and God-blessed family life. As Allah SWT has said in the holy Qur’an:
ومن آياته أن خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا لتسكنوا إليها وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة إن في ذلك لآيات لقوم يتفكرون
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. (QS. 30. Ar-Ruum: 21)
Next, the basic and motivation to perform marriage in Islam must be clear. Marriage should not be based on worldly problems, such as property, descent, and beauty, but also the moral ethic of religion, which can give a guarantee for the sustainable and harmonious family life. As Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon Him) said:
“Woman is married for four reasons: property, descent, beauty and religion. So make a choice based on her religion, certainly you will be lucky.” (HR. Bukhari Muslim)
If marriage is based on property, descent, and beauty only, then if the property has been used up and the beauty has faded away, be ready because the family life will step toward a destruction. Love in this kind of marriage is just for a moment, that is when the property is still abundant and the body is still beautiful. It is different if marriage is based on Islamic religion, Insya Allah it will make us lucky and can solve any problem in marriage life.
The happy couple to-be
The house-life to be build is a simile that we will cross a wide and deep ocean from a land to a shore. It is very possible that in the middle of the trip there are many threats and challenges, such as big wave or big coral reef. The same things also happen in a house-life, both of you my brother and sister should be ready to face these challenges. Maybe at the first time when Mr. Adam met Miss Wini, they had not known each real characteristics, their goodness and badness, and so on.
Islam, therefore, has given a description of how to go toward a happy family life. Both of you my brother and sister must understand well the meaning of marriage. The word ”marriage” comes from Arabic word ”nakaha”. It consists of three letters, i.e. nun, kaaf, and kaeafiyat.
Let us explore the meaning of each of these letters.
First, Nun means: Intention. Both of you must straighten your intention that this marriage is only to follow the teaching of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon Him) as what he had said:
Marriage is my teaching, whoever hates marriage then he/she is not in my group” (HR. Bukhari Muslim).
Thus the marriage motivation must be clear, based on a right commitment and religion, that is al-Islam.
Second, Kaaf: Kaefiyah: means How (How to do the marriage). To go toward a harmonious family life, both of you my brother and sister must understand each right and obligation:
As our Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon Him) had said:
A believer won’t get a better benefit after the piety to Allah SWT than a sholehah (pious) wife:
1. If he (the husband) asks her to do something, she (the wife) will obey;
2. If she looks at him, her husband will be glad;
3. If he swears to do do something, his wife will fulfil the oath;
4. and if he is not at home, his wife will take care of herself and her husband’s property.
(HR. Ibnu Majah)
About the right of the wife or the obligation of a husband to his wife, our Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon Him) in his ’hadits’ said:
1. Feed her when you eat;
2. Give her clothes when you are wearing clothes;
3. Don’t hit her on the face;
4. Don’t disgrace her;
5. Don’t separate your bed, except it is in house
(HR. Ahmad, Abu Dawud dan Nasa’i);
The happy couple to-be
In your house-life later, I hope you can understand each other, close and complete your lack together. Decorate your house by always perform prayer and read the holy Qur’an. And if one day both of you are blessed with children, educate your children with the best education, teach them to know Allah and His messengers since their early lifes, teach them to read and to write the holy Qur’an and teach them to perform the fifth times prayers.
Eventually, happy audiences
Let us pray together in a hope that the covenant of marriage between Mr. Adam Joseph Agardy and Miss Winy Utami Sutanto can run well and smoothly and always get bless and guidance from Allah SWT. Hopefully both of them will be a harmonious couple of husband and wife and can build a sakinah mawaddah warrahmah family life and be blessed with pious children.
”May Allah SWT blesses and gathers you together in goodness”.
