Q. Has anyone heard about Amani Wedding & Bridal?

Salaam bro or sis,

Congratulation on your wedding. If wedding cost alot of money, then why engage them?

It is not worth it to spend alot of money on a one or two day event which might cost $10'000-$30,000. This does not reflect the lifestyle of a muslim. We have to think wisely and not to follow the footsteps of others or our desire.

We will be question on the day of judgment about all that we do, and all the money that Allah has given us. What will you say to Allah after spending such a huge amount?

We must remember that everything that Allah has given to us is not ours....but it's his. Getting married is such an important thing in Islam, don't make it difficult for yourself and your future spouse by spending so much money. Use the money that Allah has blessed you with starting up your new married life.

Inshallah, that has more blessing and rewards for those who submit themselves to Allah s.w.t.

Thank you for your reply. However, you are not answering my question. I am asking for replies from those who have had personal experiences with Amani Weddings.
If you are not going to answer my question, please refrain from replying.
If I want to spend money on my wedding, that is MY personal choice. Please, I do not need advice from you. Thank you.

Asker's comment:

& please do not lecture me about the Islam. What makes you think you know better than me? If I have the means to hold a wedding ceremony, why not? Selagi tidak keterlauan, membazir & salah di sisi ugama Islam, I dont think you are in any place to reply me. Thanks, but no thanks. 

Salaam Hidetoshi,

Bro or sis, don't need to get worked up. yea i may not answer partically to your question but i have every right to say out my views. if you don't like it, lets reason out in a respectable manner as what our prophet have taught us. don't need to be lashing out like other people on other websites.

as muslims we consist of a community and the community needs to take a proactive role in voicing out when individual or a group of people are not following according to the teaching of islam. it is a norm nowadays to say that "if i want to do such and such that is my business." that is what our schools and the environment around us has taught us.( esp the media ) Me, me ..me...But this is not how islam operates. what you do effects everybody else..and that is why Allah says..

(Quran 3:104)And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.

Our muslim society is in the state of weekness as we see it today because we have lost the ability to speak up.

The prophet said,

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand( activism, organization, movement ); and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue( by seaking out against it ), and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart( by always disliking what is evil or harmful ), and that is the least of faith(Muslim: Book 1 : Hadith 79 & 81)


Getting married should be easy. it was never made difficult. but because of all this social preassure to spend so much money for making the wedding 'beautiful' and keeping up with the jones syndrome, getting married have now becomes difficult. no longer can young ppl get married coz they have to save 'x' amount of money for the hantaran, mahr and then for the ceremoney and then for all the other things purchasing house, renovation...etc. Wedding services are cashing in on this business. it's a rip off! imagine if you can have a wedding withought spending this much money. doesn't that make things easier. look at the wedding of the prophets and his companion (and some of them are rich).

Yes have a nice wedding, but spending this much is unessary. is there a need to invite 1000 people? as compare to only your relatives and people in your neighbourhood and those less fortunate. must there be a huge band with fancy cars and facy clothing..is this necessary? many members here have had a wedding without spending a bomb. i urge you to have a look at some of the older questions on this site.

Allah also says not to spend in extravagant and being wasteful. What is wasteful spending? wasteful spending is something that you spend on that has no need even if it is affordable for you.

You yourself said that "wedding cost alot of money". if someone who can afford it will not say that it cost alot.:) wouldn't it be great if you can save some of this money and spend it in the way of Allah or use it to invest in something halal? it will give your marrige a good start. Pleasing Allah is more important than pleasing our desire or the desire of others.


And it is He Who produces gardens trellised and untrellised, and date-palms, and crops of different shape and taste (their fruits and their seeds) and olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste). Eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof (its Zakat according to Allah's Orders 1/10th or 1/20th) on the day of its harvest, and waste not by extravagance . Verily, He likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance), Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #141)

O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes), while praying and going round (the Tawaf of) the Ka'bah, and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance). (Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #31)

Allah also says: “Give the kinsman, the poor, and the wayfarer their due, but do not spend wastefully. Verily, the spendthrifts are the brethren of the devils and Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord. ” (Al-Isra’: 26-27).

Inshallah, i hope you will think carefully abt this. i never said that i am better than you only trying to make the world a better place which Allah has set out. only through folowing the laws of Allah humanity can find peace and tranquility.
