May your spirits garment each other forever, in provision, protection and shelter, may this married journey take the form of the Qu’ran: a boundless, joyfully immeasurable mirroring of Your Beautiful Truth!

As the Angel commanded, let the bride and groom read the signs of Love in their every glance, action, deed and consideration, that Jannah may be known to you upon this earth today.

And let the Vine of that Love multiply outward into little ones, many little ones, guided by the trellis of grandparents’ Wisdom, of parents’ Jihad, children of beauty, of adornment, the pearl and coral of the two seas, joining the helpers of critical recitation, returning that Kingdom of which the “we” of this city can only dream our Muslim dreams.

May these things “Be!”, by Allah’s Grace. May your journey through Love lead you ever closer to know the Origin of that Love.
