00:00Have you ever seen a welcome cart that apologizes to guests?
00:04Thank you for your hospitality and apologies
00:07It sounds strange, doesn't it?
00:09But it's true
00:10The wedding cart that went viral
00:13It was written on the cart
00:18Sorry, according to Sunak, we did not make any arrangements for food.
00:22It was a simple cart.
00:24But it has touched millions of hearts.
00:26Some people are calling it a beautiful example.
00:29So some are also calling it a breaking of ritual.
00:31But the real question is whether Islam tells us to indulge in extravagance in marriages.
00:35Is the marriage that costs the least more blessed?
00:39And what is that Sunnah in the name of which this family took this decision?
00:43Let's find answers to these questions and understand the card that sparked a new debate.
00:50Is
00:51It was December 2025, a wedding card was circulating in Pakistan.
00:55But this was no ordinary card; it had a simple but profound message written on it.
01:05Yes, this family decided not to have the traditional Shahana meal at the wedding.
01:10He cited the Sunnah to support his decision.
01:13On the one hand, this news surprised people.
01:17At the same time, many people not only praised this decision but also called it the best example of following the Sunnah.
01:23Gave
01:23Debate erupted on social media
01:25Some said that marriage is a happy occasion and the custom of eating in it is centuries old.
01:30But on the other hand, people praised the courage of this family.
01:34That they tried to keep the wedding simple, ignoring social pressures.
01:39This is not just a card, it is a revolution in thinking.
01:42This card is a message that now we should adopt simplicity and Sunnah in weddings instead of extravagance and show-off.
01:48will be
01:49Now let us understand what is the religious basis of this decision.
01:52Is it really Sunnah to skip wedding food in Islam or is this something new?
01:57Islam is a religion of integrity; it neither likes extravagance nor misery.
02:15Now, spending money on the occasion of marriage is not a bad thing but that expenditure should be within reasonable limits.
02:21to the point of being drowned in debt, and
02:25Similarly, the Prophet (peace be upon him) has declared simple marriage as blessed.
02:30There is a blessed Hadith that the most blessed marriage is the one in which the least expenditure is incurred.
02:36Therefore, the biggest reason for this card going viral is that it advocates the Sunnah.
02:42Remember, the purpose of marriage is not to have a feast or a ceremony but to establish a pure relationship which
02:49It is for the pleasure of Allah
02:50This is the reason why the Prophet (peace be upon him) declared the wedding feast as a simple and public act.
02:57Gave
02:57He was not made a means of wastage.
02:59But the question is if Islam orders to keep marriage simple
03:04So why have our marriages become so complicated today?
03:07The reality is that today in Pakistan, marriage has become more of a burden than a joy.
03:12Millions of families remain in debt for years to marry off their daughters.
03:16Dowry has become a curse which Islam never justified.
03:20The cost of marriage has increased so much that many young people are reluctant to get married.
03:25A major reason for this is social pressure.
03:27People think that if they do not keep Shahana food, their respect will be reduced.
03:32But does respect in Islam depend on the number of meals eaten?
03:35But in Islam, respect is due to piety and abstinence.
03:38The Prophet himself performed the marriage of his daughter Hazrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) with utmost simplicity.
03:45That's why when this family preferred Sunnah by not keeping food
03:49So this was a valiant attempt to break free from this slavery.
03:53They proved that the true essence of marriage lies not in dancing, intoxication and eating and drinking.
03:57Rather, they pray for each other and are in Islamic brotherhood.
04:01Let us first know that according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
04:07How the wedding was conducted
04:08Simplicity of marriage
04:10The Prophet (peace be upon him) always encouraged his companions to have simple marriages.
04:15The wedding that costs the most is the most blessed.
04:21The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that the best true dowry is one that is easy to give.
04:27That is, the wife should be given a fair amount of dowry according to her wishes.
04:31Otherwise, it should not be increased so much that the boy's family gets into debt.
04:34Walima, the wedding feast
04:37The Prophet (peace be upon him) declared Walima as Sunnah.
04:41But even this feast was simple.
04:43You (PBUH) invited a guest to one of your weddings.
04:48So he slaughtered a goat in it.
04:49Have you ever stayed in a banquet hall worth lakhs of rupees?
04:52Shahana did not take care of the rituals
04:54announcement
04:55It is also Sunnah to announce marriage.
04:57So that people know and there is no Shubha
05:00But this announcement does not mean that
05:02that we put on electric bulbs
05:03Light up the whole street
05:05This viral card has shown us a new trend.
05:08This is not a university building.
05:10No, statement from any big world personality
05:12Rather, it was the decision of an ordinary Pakistani household.
05:15It showed that change is possible
05:17This decision reminded us
05:19that our marriages are a reflection of our family
05:22When we waste our time on weddings
05:24So the Maushra will also be similarly unemotional.
05:26And when we keep weddings simple
05:28So this will not only make our homes brighter
05:31Rather, our family will also get this status.
05:33The entire community appreciated this card.
05:36Because people want to get rid of this feeling of guilt.
05:38People are being crushed under this burden of traditions.
05:41What will people say if we don't keep good food?
05:44But when this family said this
05:46Please be kind and forgive me
05:48We did not keep food as per the Sunnah
05:50So it's like they've introduced a new tradition.
05:53Now people are forced to think
05:55Is it really necessary to indulge in wastage in marriages?
05:58Can't we also keep our weddings simple?
06:01Certainly, when a tradition is broken
06:03So there is also a difference of opinion.
06:04Some people also raised questions regarding this.
06:07Is it really haram to have food at a wedding?
06:09In the name of Sunnah, should we treat guests
06:12You are not insulting me, are you?
06:13The answer to these questions is this
06:15that according to the Sunnah
06:16It is not forbidden to have food at a wedding.
06:17Actually, Walima means wedding feast.
06:20It is a mustahab act
06:21Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
06:23at their own weddings
06:25arranged the wedding reception
06:26Lahaja, those who understand this
06:28It is considered a sin to have food at a wedding.
06:31This is not correct
06:32Rather, the basic issue here is that of wastage.
06:34If any family, according to its status
06:37If you keep simple food then this is also Sunnah.
06:39But if a family exceeds its means
06:42Take a loan and keep food worth lakhs of rupees
06:44So this is illegal in Islam.
06:46Whereas the family with this purpose card
06:48finished the food at the wedding
06:50This is a huge step
06:51Is this against the Sunnah?
06:53The scholars have different opinions on this matter.
06:55Valla hu aalam
06:56But it is clear that his intentions were not bad.
06:59Rather, they wanted to follow the Sunnah and avoid wastage.
07:02And also explained it
07:03This is not the only example
07:05There are many such examples in Pakistan.
07:08Where people have tried to adopt the Sunnah by having a simple wedding
07:11A wedding recently took place in Multan.
07:13Where six brothers married six sisters on the same day.
07:17He arranged a very simple ceremony
07:19There was no dowry, no salami, no wastage.
07:22He said that he performed the Nikah in the presence of Deen only in one niche.
07:27And he refrained from any kind of salutation or wastage at the wedding reception.
07:31Friends, this wedding card that is going viral is actually a wake-up call.
07:35This is a compelling call that we must now think seriously about our marriages.
07:40Islam is a deathless and lawful religion
07:43He has commanded us to celebrate marriages but has forbidden us from extravagance.
07:47The Prophet himself adopted simplicity and advised his companions to do the same.
07:53The need is that we keep our weddings simple as per our status.
07:58Eliminate the curse of dowry, keep the right of Mehr simple, invite only your close relatives to the wedding and avoid unnecessary expenses.
08:04Avoid expenses
08:05If we can do this, then not only will our marriages be blessed, but our in-laws will also be united.
08:11There will be a movement in the direction
08:12So what do you think? Do you agree with this card house's decision? Have you ever
