Nikah Service

Nikah

Makki Masjid provides Nikah services for the local Muslim community and helps couples understand the arrangements and current requirements.

A Blessed Commitment

The Islamic Marriage Contract

Nikah is the solemnisation of an Islamic marriage contract and one of the most blessed occasions in Islam.

Contact the Masjid early to discuss the proposed date. The existing service guidance recommends at least three weeks’ notice, with earlier contact during busy summer months.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I arrange a Nikah at Makki Masjid?
Contact the Masjid directly to discuss the proposed date and current requirements.
Is contacting the Masjid the same as confirming a booking?
No. A Nikah should only be treated as confirmed once the arrangements have been agreed with the Masjid.
What information or documents will be required?
Requirements can depend on individual circumstances. Please confirm the current requirements with the Masjid before making arrangements.
How early should I contact the Masjid?
Please contact the Masjid as early as practical so that availability and arrangements can be discussed. The existing service guidance recommends at least three weeks’ notice.
Does an Islamic Nikah automatically complete UK civil marriage requirements?
Do not assume that an Islamic Nikah by itself completes all civil marriage requirements. Couples are responsible for ensuring that any applicable legal registration requirements are also met.
