UIC Nikah Services
Marriage in Islam is a beautiful union that completes one’s faith, and we pray we can make this union a memorable and spiritual one. Islam teaches us that marriage is an integral part of our life and that a healthy marriage leads to a healthy community.We are honored that you have chosen the Utah Islamic Center (UIC) to share this occasion with you and your loved ones
Information:
- The couple marrying needs to get a marriage license from any city in the USA.
- UIC – UTAH ISLAMIC CENTER needs a copy of the official city license for their records.
- We arrange to get Imam to perform nikah within 72 hours from the time the copy of the marriage license is submitted to us.
- We require the presence of two Muslim witnesses for the groom and a guardian (wali) for the bride.
- The ideal guardian for the bride is the father of the bride. In the absence of a father for the bride, the person performing the nikah will guide the marrying couple to arrange possible alternatives depending on their options. If the options meet the Islamic requirements, the nikah will be performed.
- With consultation and approval of the bride, the groom offers the mahr to the bride in writing to be recorded on the marriage certificate.
- The nikah details are recorded in a prescribed form. The bride, the groom, the guardian, and the witnesses sign it. A copy of that certificate is provided to the bride and to the groom. UIC keeps the copy for their records.
- The official city marriage license is then signed by the person performing the nikah. The UIC representative will mail the original license to the city for marriage registration.

* Shahada
“There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.”
Appointments for Shahada*
The Arabic transliteration of the English phrase above is: “Ashhadu Alla Ilaha Illa Allah Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammad Ar-Rasulu Allah”
This is the basic statement of the Islamic faith. Reciting this statement wholeheartedly and with sincerity in front of witnesses is all that anyone needs to do to become a Muslim. The Shahadah is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam. When a Muslim recites this, they proclaim:- That Allah is the only God and that Muhammad is his prophet- That they personally accept this as true That they will obey all the commitments of Islam in their life.
If you are ready to take the Shahada, please fill out this form, and the Imam will schedule an appropriate time for you to take the Shahada.
