To perform a nikah ceremony at a mosque, the couple must meet with an authorized representative, provide proof of identity and consent, as well as the required mahr and witness. The ceremony typically includes the recitation of the marriage contract, the exchange of vows, and the signing of the contract by the bride, groom, and witnesses. After the ceremony, the mosque will provide a marriage certificate. However, it's important to note that the nikah ceremony alone may not establish a legal marriage in many countries, including the state of Illinois in the United States. To be legally married in Illinois, couples must obtain a marriage license and have the ceremony performed by a judge, a religious official, or a licensed person. Therefore, a nikah ceremony can be an important aspect of an Islamic marriage, but it's not a substitute for a legal marriage.
