Our Wedding

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِBy the decree and wisdom of Allah ﷻ, Shaan and Fatima’s paths were aligned—he in Northern Virginia and she in New York City. Through intention, sincerity, and trust in Allah’s plan, they discovered a shared love for journeying through life with gratitude, for seeking purpose in each step, and for remaining anchored in faith, family, and tradition.With the blessings of their families and under the mercy of Allah ﷻ, Shaan and Fatima were united in Nikah in January 2026. They now humbly invite you to join them as they celebrate this sacred covenant and the beginning of a life together, founded upon love, mercy, and barakah.Duʿāʾ:May Allah bless their union, place affection and mercy between them, grant them steadfast faith, and fill their home with tranquility and barakah. Āmīn.
