For modern society, such a thing as “wedding night” has long been purely symbolic in nature. An intimate relationship before marriage is quite normal, because people want to know each other better. True, not all are free to use such democratic principles . Muslim wedding night is almost one of the most important events in life.
As you know, in Islam, the beginning of sexual relations between husband and wife should take place in compliance with all religious rules. The first closeness, according to the Qur'an, should be imbued with an atmosphere of sacredness. Muslim wedding night, as well as intimacy in general, in Islamic culture has a high spiritual meaning. In addition, subject to the most stringent standards, newlyweds may not even be familiar with each other. Under such circumstances, the bride and groom will be extremely shy, feel awkward and be in a tense state.
To make the situation more comfortable, the first wedding night for Muslims is held with the obligatory observance of such rites:
- Before intimacy, the husband should put his hand on his wife’s head and say affectionate words with the obligatory addition of the phrase “in the name of Allah” at the end of his speech. After this, the newlyweds perform two ritual prayers. Then the spouse reads another, in which he asks Allah to bless him and his wife, their family life, and in case of divorce, forgive him so that he and his wife remain in good relations.
- Wedding nights in the Caucasus and the East are rarely held according to all religious canons. By tradition, the bride should be a virgin, but at present this requirement is not so strictly observed. The ritual of hanging sheets with traces of blood in the morning was preserved only in some regions.
- Muslim wedding night suggests that the groom must first give the bride a lot of different sweets and drinks. It is desirable that honey be among the former, and milk is the latter.
- Muslim wedding night is a time not only for intimacy, but also for newlyweds to communicate. The husband should be affectionate and gentle with his wife, because, as a rule, the girl behaves timidly and constrained.
- The Koran forbids obscene intimate relationships. A woman is also not recommended to behave indifferently and coldly. In no case should you push your husband away, because this can lead to unpleasant consequences.
- In the morning, the couple should perform the ritual bath and only the field of this proceed to the meal. On this day, it is recommended to set the table and invite relatives.
Entering intimacy, young people should have such intentions:
- Do not engage in adultery;
- a man should not stare at other women;
- give birth to offspring that will serve Allah.
If a person enjoys intimacy with true intentions, then he receives not only pleasure from intimate life, but also a reward - savab. Love is the main foundation of family life. The Qur'an encourages the wife and husband to be merciful, to forgive and be patient. Regardless of religion and place of residence, happiness can only be found with the person to whom you have the most powerful and deepest feelings.
