Walima (
Arabic: وليمة), or the
marriage banquet, is one of the two traditional parts of an
Islamic wedding. The walima is performed after the
nikah, or marriage ceremony. The word walima is derived from walam, meaning to gather or assemble. It designates a feast in
classical Arabic and
newspaper Arabic. Walima is used as a symbol to show domestic felicity in the household post-marriage. In Modern Arabic the word "`ars" عرس is used for "wedding".
