WEBDESK – MEDIABITES
Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain has reportedly married a hafiza-e-Quran, a young woman who has memorised the entire Quran, in a simple nikah ceremony, according to reports circulating widely on social media.
The reports say the bride is an orphan who was studying at a religious seminary. MediaBites could not independently verify the details.
A mother’s choice
According to the reports, Hasnain’s mother, described as a deeply religious woman, learned about the young woman through an acquaintance.
The cricketer reportedly received marriage proposals from wealthy and well-known families. However, his mother is said to have prioritised piety and character over wealth and social standing, and chose the hafiza-e-Quran as a match for her son.
A simple ceremony
The couple were reportedly engaged first, and the nikah was held some time later in a modest ceremony, away from the lavish celebrations often associated with high-profile weddings in Pakistan.
Praise on social media
A photo linked to the wedding has gone viral, drawing widespread praise from fans. Many users described the decision as a rare example of simplicity, saying it shows that the true beauty of a marriage lies in good character and faith rather than money or fame.
Several users also offered prayers for the couple’s happiness and a blessed married life.
On the field
Hasnain, a right-arm fast bowler known for his raw pace, has represented Pakistan in One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.
