    A Wedding That Brought Happiness to 100 Orphaned Children

    Asalamualaikum

    In Şanlıurfa, Türkiye, Muhammed and Fatma Çakmak chose a beautiful way to celebrate their wedding. According to Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency, the couple asked their guests to bring an orphaned child to the wedding instead of giving traditional jewelry gifts. With the support of guests and the İHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s Şanlıurfa branch, around 100 orphaned children attended the celebration. The couple said they were happy to share their special day with the children and hoped their decision would inspire other couples.

    An Islamic reminder

    The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

    “I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this,” and he held his index and middle fingers together.

    (Sahih al-Bukhari 6005)

    This hadith reminds us of the great virtue of caring for orphans. May Allah bless everyone who brings happiness to children and supports those in need. Ameen.

    Disclaimer: The wedding details are based on reporting by Anadolu Agency. The hadith is cited separately as an authentic Islamic teaching.

  • Kına Gecesi (Henna Night)
    A traditional Turkish pre-wedding ceremony

    Kına Gecesi is a cherished Turkish tradition held before the wedding, dedicated to the bride, the women of her family, and her close female friends.
    It’s often compared to a bachelorette party — but with a much more traditional and emotional spirit.

    What happens during Kına Gecesi?
    • Takes place 1–2 days before the wedding, usually at the bride’s home or a specially chosen venue
    • The bride wears a red dress or a traditional bindallı, with a red veil
    • Women sing traditional songs and share heartfelt wishes with the bride
    • The most emotional moment: henna is placed on the bride’s palm, symbolizing happiness and prosperity in marriage — usually done by the groom’s mother or an elder woman
    • After the ritual, the night turns joyful with dancing, food, and celebration

    The meaning of Kına Gecesi:
    • The bride’s farewell to her family and preparation for a new life
    • Protection and good luck for marriage
    • Bringing together women from family and close friendships

    This tradition exists not only in Turkey, but also in the Middle East, South Asia, and the Balkans, each with its own local touch.
