Marriage (Nikah) in Islam is a sacred contract designed to foster love, tranquility and social stability. It places an emphasis on mutual consent, simplicity and religious compatibility and is rooted in Quranic commands and Prophetic traditions. However, contrary to Islamic teachings, many Muslim communities today have incorporated un-Islamic practices like extravagant dowries, forced engagements and excessive wedding rituals. This article examines the core principles of Islamic marriage, including its spiritual significance, the necessity of Mahr(dowry), and the importance of Walima(wedding feast). It also critiques prevalent cultural practices—such as Jahez (dowry demands), lavish ceremonies, and unnecessary pre-wedding customs—that burden families financially and deviate from the Sunnah. The Islamic framework for marriage represents a structured institution that serves as the cornerstone of human society. When this system operates seamlessly, it safeguards the community from social corruption and instability. Conversely, any disruption within this framework can lead to widespread societal challenges. To address these concerns, Islamic teachings provide a comprehensive and systematic approach to marriage, offering solutions to many contemporary issues that may otherwise appear unresolved. Islam emphasizes the sanctity of the marital relationship by granting it legal and moral recognition, positioning it as a fundamental prescribed societal value. Through the institution of marriage, specific guidelines to strengthen this bond and achieve its core objectives, while discouraging excessive and unnecessary emotional indulgence. The Qur'an and Hadith underscore the importance of fostering a morally upright society by advocating chastity and legitimizing intimate relationships within the bounds of marriage. This approach not only fulfills the human need for sexual fulfillment but also ensures the protection of lineage and the continuation of life, thereby contributing to societal stability and harmony. By contrasting Islamic guidelines with modern deviations, the study highlights the need to revive Prophetic simplicity, eliminate harmful traditions, and align marital practices with Shariah. The findings advocate for a return to Quranic values, promoting affordable, dignified marriages that uphold Islamic ethics while rejecting innovations (Bid'ah) and pressures from society.

The concept of silence in Islam transcends mere absence of speech, embodying wisdom, self-discipline, and spiritual elevation. Rooted in Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions, silence is portrayed as a means of worship, contemplation, and connection with the Divine. Examples such as Maryam’s vow of silence and Zakariya’s gesture-based communication highlight obedience to divine commands and spiritual focus. The Quran emphasizes reflection (tadabbur) and mindfulness, achievable through silence, as seen in verses urging believers to contemplate creation. Prophetic sayings, such as “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent,” underscore silence as a path to salvation and wisdom, guarding against harmful speech like gossip or falsehood. In Sufi traditions, silence is integral to practices like muraqaba (meditation) and dhikr-e-khafi (silent remembrance), fostering spiritual purification and divine proximity. Modern psychological research aligns with these teachings, confirming that silence and mindfulness reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and improve focus by balancing brain functions like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Islamic practices such as prayer and dhikr further promote mental tranquility. Thus, silence and meditation, deeply embedded in Islamic spirituality, offer profound psychological and spiritual benefits, resonating with contemporary scientific insights.
