One of my close friends.. muslim bangladeshi girl.. is married to an indian catholic guy. there were slight problems, but they found ways around them... just like every in every marriage there are problems..
we as a society make 2 big a deal out of this... religion is over rated and given way 2 much authority!!!!
*Do not marry [your daughters] to idolaters until they believer in Islam. A believering slave is better than a [free] idolater, though the latter please you. These call you to the Fire, but Allah calls you, by His will, to the Garden and to forgiveness. He makes plain His revelations to mankind, that perhaps they will think'' (Qur'an, 2:221) *
A female Muslim is not permissible for a disbeliever ---this is incontrovertible and certain !!!
on your topic .. Inno bahi ... i know couple of ladies .. born in muslim families .. now living with hindu guys ..
Islams abt CHOICE. who are we to judge, ideally it would be nice for the guy to convert but im sure that doesnt happen 100% of time... i perosnally went for a pakistani guy but i was also like 16 wen i 1st fell in love, so at that time i wasnt thinkin abt religion. ONLY love, alhumd i got lucky, its perfect if the guy converts, and if not, then atleast try to raise ur kids muslim, kiyonke yeh dil key haathon majboor ker deta hai!
women sorry to disappoint you but there are some lines you just can't cross.
I mean you can cross them, but crossing them also means you are stepping out of the boundaries of faith.
I mean this the thing with women they don't do wrong things, the want to feel right all the time. Even If they doing such a thing.
I feel strongly about the issue because I know some one who is doing it.
What is wrong, is wrong. Even if whole world start doing it, won't make it right.
We can get happiness from lots of haram things, but it doesn't mean they r right for us. Some one have to pay the price for it. May be here, or here after.
May Allah show us right path, and courage to follow it.
I was listenign to a Radio Programme on VOA on this issue, where they invited a muslim female who married a Hindu. And she was saying that she doesn’t want any other muslim woman to do it, but thinks it was right for her to do it.
What i was confused about is that, people only end up getting married when they have considered another person as potential spouse. In case of a non-muslim how can a muslim consider him as “possible” spouse.
God’s Words ought to be enough for us Muslims… there is nothing useful (at least not in the long run) for us to justify it with this and that… May Allah bless us with the ability to act only in accordance to that which pleases Him, Amin.
Just out of curiosity, do maulvis marry everyone regardless of whether what they're doing is "right" or not? I was actually wondering about this the other day... if a muslim female wanted to marry a nonmuslim man.. would she have a hard time finding someone willing to do their nikkah?
Yes, there is a muslim Pakistani lady I know who has married someone from Korea. He converted and now they have 3 kids. Amazing family, a great example for many. Very dedicated to deen and teaching to their children.
I am sure these women have their reasons for doing so, and perhaps the guy has or will convert in due time. Maybe the guy converted for the sake of marrying, may be a great guy, good values, good morals, but just not practicing muslim.....oh wait....a lot of 'Muslims" arent exactly practicing either yet refer to the Quran when theyhear of such stuff...hmm
I dunno i am sure these women ar emature enough to get married, they are mature enough to know what they are doing.
Unfortunately or fortunately, conversion for marriage is a requirement. AT the time of conversion, the mindset may not be of enthusiasm toward the religion but I know of cases where over the years, these converts have fallen in love with the religion and have become good practicing muslims.
I guess it's whether you value love more than religion. But in the eyes of Islam, the non muslim marrying a muslim should show enough love to convert in order to marry somebody they have deep affection for but why isn't the same importance for love given by muslims.
The love issue isn't even important to a muslim person it seems because all that is important to them is converting the person that has fallen in love with them to islam because that is what the quran says.
Actually, I think that if you love someone, you would do certain things for them, even convert, if you are confident about them and if you understand the reasons why. Love and then marriage is not about coochy coo only but it is a responsibility in many ways, and if we can be mature about understanding that things get easier.
