Explore the Design and Ethics of Muslim Wedding Cards
In Islam, marriage is a religious obligation, a social custom, and a means of protecting one’s morality. Wedding cards are more than just a way to invite guests and announce the occasion. They also reflect the beautiful Muslim rituals and customs around celebrating a union. On the practical side, these cards play a significant role in ensuring all guests are aware of what will happen during the event so that they can prepare accordingly.
While the design of Muslim wedding cards has changed over the years, the message remains the same. Here are some of the most significant features, symbols, and designs found on Muslim wedding cards:
- The Allah symbol
The Allah symbol denotes divinity and holiness. It’s printed on wedding cards because the to-be-married pair will be joined in love, understanding, and happiness.
- The star and crescent moon
The star and crescent symbol not only signify faith in the Almighty but also acts as a reminder to always have complete faith in God. These Islam-centric symbols, the star and moon, also show that the couple is seeking divine intervention and guidance for a happy marriage.
- The Bismillah symbol
The Bismillah symbol, found in nearly all Muslim wedding cards, demonstrates the true essence of the Holy Quran. It signifies blessings and support from Allah.
- Words of the wise
Muslim weddings also incorporate the words of famous Islamic scholars to impart some wisdom on happy occasions. Such words of wisdom guide the couple to lead a blissful and contended life ahead.
These are some of the most popular design elements and symbols on Muslim wedding cards. While the designs may have changed over the years, the message remains the same: to remind guests of the vital role that faith plays in the sanctity of marriage.
Also, do keep in mind that if you plan to invite guests who live abroad, then you may need to have multilingual cards to make sure that everyone can understand them.
No matter what design you choose, wedding cards are an essential part of the Islamic faith and culture. By understanding the symbolism behind these cards, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the Islamic faith and start designing your own Muslim wedding invitations.
