Summary
This contract was translated from Hindi into English.
Promote goodness and bring an end to bad habits
Brothers and sisters! Our aim is not to prove us or prove others wrong, but to provide the correct information about Islamic Shariat to families.
For this purpose, I make the following requirements:
1. I request my brothers and sisters to read the translation of Quran.
2. I request parents to make their sons/daughters read the translations before their children's marriage so as to make them aware of the rights and regulations and to prevent problems in future. If the spouses are not aware about the dos/don'ts they may unknowingly commit some mistake, which might disperse their families forever. Every person dreams about his/her prosperous and loving marriage and in case the spouses are not aware of their rights written in the holy Quran, their dream would remain a dream.
3. I deeply believe that once every one is aware of their duties and rights bestowed upon them by God the almighty there will be no mistrust between family members. This will save the families from the tragedy of a marital break-up.
4. You all are aware that every Muslim's soul lies in the Shariat because the Shariat makes every Muslim a complete believer. On the basis of Shariat a Muslim checks his attitude and behaviour and decides whether he is going right or wrong. If a believer always keeps these Shariat in mind than there is no way that he can go wrong in his behaviour, conduct and working. It will always stop him from taking any wrong step. If every Muslim properly follows the Shariat than I can vouch and say that there would be no dispute between husband or wife, or family or in the society. Even in case of some dispute the people would come together peacefully and talk together to find a solution.
Therefore, we recommend that every Muslim must be aware of the Shariat. The All India Muslim Women Personnel Law Board has created this Shariat Nikahamah, which will hopefully be useful for creating a happy married life.
