Nikkah Certificate Info Page

All our Nikkah Certificates are designed to be signed alongside your legal paperwork to make
your Nikkah signing moment extra special and create a keepsake for a lifetime!

The History of the Nikahnama Tradition

Nikahnamas have been a tradition for centuries before photographs were a thing and were traditionally used as an Islamic marriage document and kept as a memory from the wedding. We have decided to bring back this tradition with a modern twist and create Nikahnamas that you can sign alongside the legal marriage documents and keep as a memory for a lifetime. Not only will you have a piece of Islamic inspired art to sign on your Nikkah to create the most amazing photographs but you will also have a keepsake for life.

If you’re already married, our Nikahnamas’s are absolutely perfect as an anniversary gift for your spouse and in some cases we can even transfer signatures over from your original Nikkah documents!

Signature Areas

On our Nikkah Certificates you have the option of which signature areas you would like. The options are listed below.

1.Groom, Bride, Witnesses, Wali, Officiant
2.Groom and Bride only
3.Groom, Bride, Witnesses and Wali
4.Groom, Bride, Officiant, Wali

5.Groom, Bride, Witnesses and Officiant
6.Groom, Bride and Wali

Some of the terms above are explained below:

Wali: A Wali is defined as a protector and guardian. This is usually the father, however in the cases where the father is not present this may be the grandfather, brother, uncles as long as the bride gives permission.

Officiant:  A marriage officiant is a person who officiates at a wedding ceremony. For example, in a Muslim wedding ceremony this is the Imam.

Witnesses: In the Sunni School of Muslim law there must be 2 male adult sane witnesses.
They must be Muslim and they do not have to be related to the couple in any way they can be complete strangers. The guardian cannot form one of the witnesses.

Caring for your Nikahnama

As soon as you receive your Nikkahnama, after taking a look at it and ensuring it has arrived in perfect condition, we recommend storing it in it’s original packaging in a safe place where it is away from any possibility of being damaged, torned or stained.

On the day of your Nikkah ensure the Nikahnama is transported safely. Ensure you have a pen that is in full working order.

After signing, please ensure the ink has fully tried to avoid any smudging.

After the Nikahnama signing and photographs we recommend framing it straight away to avoid any damages and displaying it at your Nikkah for your guests to be able to see.
