What are some beautiful Islamic wedding quotes in Arabic and English?
Arabic calligraphy adds a touch of elegance and authenticity to any Islamic wedding. Here are a few beautiful quotes, presented both in Arabic and their English translations:
-
"Alhamdulillah," (الحمدلله) – "All praise and thanks be to Allah." This simple yet profound statement expresses gratitude for the blessings of this momentous occasion. It's often used as a caption for wedding photos or incorporated into wedding stationery.
-
"Allahumma barik lahuma wa barik alaihima wa jam' bainahuma fi khayr" (اللهم بارك لهما وبارك عليهما واجمع بينهما في خير) – "O Allah, bless them both, bless their union, and unite them in goodness." This is a traditional dua (supplication) commonly recited during Islamic weddings, asking for divine blessings on the couple's life together.
-
"Wal-mominun wal-mominat ba'duhum awliya'u ba'd; yamuruuna bil-ma'ruf wayanhauna 'anil-munkar; wa yuqimuuna-s-salata wa yu'tuuna-z-zakata wa yuta'i'una Allaha wa rasoolah" (وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ) – "The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and they observe the prayer and pay the Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger." (Quran 9:71) This verse highlights the mutual support and responsibility within a marriage based on faith. While a longer verse, it perfectly encapsulates the ideals of an Islamic partnership.
What are some modern interpretations of Islamic wedding quotes?
While traditional quotes hold immense significance, modern interpretations can beautifully capture the essence of contemporary Islamic love:
-
"May your love story be a testament to the power of faith and commitment." This quote speaks to the strength and resilience found in a religiously-grounded marriage.

"Together, we build a home founded on love, faith, and mutual respect." It emphasizes the collaborative nature of building a successful and happy marriage.
-
"Our journey of love begins with Allah's blessings and unfolds with His guidance." This acknowledges the role of faith as a constant source of strength and direction in the marriage.
What Islamic quotes express the importance of patience and understanding in marriage?
A successful marriage requires patience, understanding, and compromise. Islamic teachings emphasize these qualities:
-
"The best of you are those who are best to their wives." (Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)) This hadith highlights the importance of kindness and compassion in marital relationships.

Quotes emphasizing forgiveness and reconciliation, drawn from the Quran and the Sunnah, are also relevant here. These remind couples of the importance of overlooking imperfections and striving for peace and harmony.
