The information from the Master of Ceremonies of the bridegroom being an haafiz and the bride an haafizah (memorizers of the Qur’an) drew tremendous admiration from the guests for the young couple.

Aishah, though born in Abuja, is a native of Ibadan while her husband, Abdulhazeem hails from Ilorin, Kwara State.

She is a graduate of Zoology from the University of Ilorin while Abdulhazeem is a graduate of Medicine from the same university.


Expressing his happiness on his daughter’s glorious day, the bride’s father, Dr Oladiti, while speaking with PMNEWS after the ceremonies at the event, said: “I’m very happy giving my daughter out today in marriage. I have been marrying for my sons but today is the first time I will be giving out a daughter. I have only one daughter. I thank the Almighty Allah. I’m surprised by the way people came from far and near to rally round me. I’m indebted to them. May Allah reward them all.”

He advised the newlyweds to follow the footsteps of their parents hallmarked by tolerance, love and understanding.

“My wife and I never hit each other. I am not saying we don’t have quarrel, but we quarrel and we resolve. Nobody has ever come to our house to resolve any issue. We resolved all issues within ourselves. When we misunderstood ourselves, we apologized to each other and we let go, and that’s how we trained them because during the lifetime of my parents I never saw where they beat each other. When one was annoyed, the other would be quiet.

“God will guide them. Almighty Allah will direct them. Almighty Allah will provide for them and they will love each other more than how we the parents love them so that they can glue together.”

The very excited Dr Oladiti described his daughter as pious and beautiful within and without, adding that he would have loved to marry her if father could marry his daughter.

According to him, Aishah is “very amiable, very soft, easy, brilliant, very hardworking and prayerful”.

He commended Aishah’s strict compliance with the Islamic mode of dressing which he said his daughter saw as a way of obedience to Allah. He prayed for the success of her home and for her to be blessed with righteous children.

He admonished parents on the imperative of proper parenting, saying parents should live by examples for their children to turn out well in life.

The bride’s mother Mrs Oladiti was full of thanks to the Almighty.

“I thank God for His mercies on me, on my family. I thank Almighty Allah. I thank Allah for the success of today,” the very happy Mrs Oladiti enthused.

She expressed appreciation to everyone who rallied around her family and graced the glorious occasion.

The bridegroom’s father, Alh. Babatunde Sahd, also spoke with PMNEWS and expressed his happiness at the success of Abdulazeem’s wedding with Aishah.

“I am very glad. I don’t know the words to express my happiness today. We thank the Almighty Allah for making everything easy.”

He prayed for the success of the marriage and advised the couple to hold dear to the pieces of advice and admonition given to them by speakers at the event. He prayed to Allah to guide the couple aright and bless them with good children.
