Islam blesses 19 marriages

Islamic Relief Agency (IRA) on Wednesday last week blessed 19 marriages in a mass of Nikkah. The Nikkahs were conducted at Mpagaja Mosque in Bvumbwe, Thyolo. Speaking after conducting the ceremony, Sheikh Kassim Idrissah said it was the responsibility of religious leaders to make sure their members have their marriages recognised by God (Allah).
