Title
العربية: عقد زواج
Description
English: This superb document consists of a legally-binding marriage contract ('aqd-namah) written in Persia (Iran) in 1219/1804-5. Like other Persian marriage contracts of the 19th century, the document is quite imposing (at almost a meter in height) and its goldwork indicative of the couple's wealth. At the top appears an illuminated gold heading (sarloh or sar lawh) containing a number of prayers to God written in red ink on a gold background. On the right of the illuminated sarloh and in the right margin decorated by flower and leaf motifs painted in gold appears another invocation to God as the "Light of the Heavens and the Earth" (ayat al-nur, Qur'an 24:35). Between the illuminated prayers and the main text panel appear a number of seal impressions of the various marriage witnesses and the identification of the document as a marriage (nikah) certificate.
العربية: تتكون هذه الوثيقة الرائعة من عقد زواج ملزم قانونًا (عقد نكاح) مكتوب في بلاد فارس (إيران) في 1219 / 1804-5. مثل عقود الزواج الفارسية الأخرى في القرن التاسع عشر، فإن الوثيقة تفرض نفسها (على ارتفاع متر تقريبًا) وعملها الذهبي يدل على ثروة الزوجين. يظهر في الأعلى عنوان ذهبي مزخرف (سارلوح أو سار لوح) يحتوي على عدد من الدعوات إلى الله مكتوبة بالحبر الأحمر على خلفية ذهبية. يظهر على يمين سارلوح المضيء وفي الهامش الأيمن المزخرف بزخارف نباتية وأزهار مطلية بالذهب دعاءًا آخر إلى الله باسم "اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ" (آية النور، القرآن 24:35). . يظهر بين الصلوات المضيئة ولوحة النص الرئيسي عدد من طبعات الأختام لشهود الزواج المختلفين وتحديد الوثيقة على أنها شهادة زواج (نكاح).
