Her in laws requested for the \u201cbaaraat\u201d to come over. (Baaraat refers to a large group of people from the boy\u2019s party who come to the home of the bride.) Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) replied, \u201cNo baaraat will come here. The purpose of the baaraat is to guard the jehez and I do not give any jehez. Hence no baaraat should come.\u201d Thus the boy\u2019s party then requested to bring about 10 people which Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) allowed. Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) did not call the entire family as a normal custom. He only invited a few relatives and performed his daughter\u2019s nikaah in a very simple manner in exchange of the mahr-e-Faatimi. In this same simple manner Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) performed his niece\u2019s nikaah in Karachi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many, who saw this, followed Hazrat\u2019s (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) example when their daughters got married. Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) received numerous letters saying that if marriages continued in this way many useless customs and innovations would be abolished. At the same time the Ummah\u2019s financial resources will be saved. Hazrat (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) desired that all Muslims follow this simple manner in their weddings.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Mufti_mahmood_Hassan_his_life_and_works.pdf\"><em>(Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) \u2013 His life and works, pg. 118)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biography-faqihul-ummah-selected-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13157"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21443,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13157\/revisions\/21443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
