      Are you looking to get married? Our Imam's are registered celebrants meaning that when they conduct the Islamic Marriage, this will automatically be registered with the Scottish Government once the papers are submitted. This takes away an unnecessary step of having to perform as separate ceremony at the registry office. Don't hesitate to contact us and find out more.
