Probably this is the first documented case where a Hindu married to a Muslim by Nikaah without conversion. This is a positive reform in Islam and the imam should be congratulated. Share this with your Muslim friends.
What is the BIG deal?
Source: Interfaith marriage is one of the most fundamental sinful actions in Islam after shirk, rebellion against parental authority and killing a person without any legal reason. However, according to our research, 45% of Muslims marry outside their faith in America. It is a common practice for this “interfaith” marriage problem to be solved by conversion of the non-Muslim fiancé(e) to Islam.The Koran states “You shall not marry Mushrik women (idolatresses or who ascribe God’s attributes to other than Allah) unless they embrace the Faith. A believing slave woman is better than a Mushrik woman although she may please you.”
Hinduism views marriage as a sacred union but Islamic nikaah (marriage) is a contract to obey Allah. A non-Muslim is expected to take shahadah oaths before the nikaah. Shahadah is the declaration that there is no god but Allah and Prophet Mohammad is the messenger of Allah. Associating partners (like Lord Shiva) with Allah, including worship of idols (murtis), offering prayers or supplications to anyone, living or dead, is the greatest of all sins. No imam will perform nikaah wedding without the shahadah religious conversion. A Hindu wedding is not a valid marriage as per Islamic laws. The union of a man and a woman without a valid nikaah is considered adultery punishable by stoning to death (Bukhari 6:60:79, 9:84:57). In short, for a Hindu, conversion to Islam before nikaah is a must.
Shahadah is an oath required to be taken by a non-Muslim to irreversibly convert to Islam. Muslim Caliphates invited all Muslim civilians to be involved in defending the Islamic state from attack by non-Muslims. Religious conversion from Islam was therefore conceptualized as a vital criminal violation that might be punishable by death because a former Muslim would endanger the existence of all Muslims by allying with an enemy of Islam.

Nikaah: Islamic MarriageShahadah (conversion): LA ILAHA ILL LALLAH MOHAMMADUR RASULULLAH. Shahadah is the declaration that there is no god but Allah and Prophet Mohammad is the messenger of Allah. Associating partners (like Lord Shiva) with Allah, including worship of idols (murtis), offering prayers or supplications to anyone, living or dead, is the greatest of all sins.
Koran 2:221: You shall not wed pagan woman, unless they embrace the faith. A believing* slave girl is better than an idolatress, though she may please you. A Hindu wedding is not a valid marriage as per Islamic laws. The union of a man and a woman without a valid nikaah is considered adultery punishable by stoning to death. In short, general belief is… for a Hindu, conversion to Islam before nikaah is a MUST!
*Believing: Here, the word “believing” (and pagan) is difficult to define. Most Muslims may define Hindus as “not believers” (kafir) while others may consider Hindus believer in God (Bhagwan, Devta, Isvar) and consider them as the people of book (like Veda). Share below what do you think.

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.”
Have a look at the following views** (Imam Tawhidi’s twitter account @imamofpeace):
*Wishing all my Hindu friends and followers a Happy Hanuman Jayanti. May you all be accompanied by auspiciousness and blessings on this great occasion.
**My first appearance on @TAGTVCANADA: Muslims use the Quran to murder each other.
**A PM of a country represents his/her entire country. If Pakistan’s PM had an ounce of respect for himself, he would have jumped on the next plane to Pakistan without exiting the airport. But he knew very well that he was and is guilty of harbouring terrorists, and he deserved it.
**A minority demanding special treatment is not an ‘integrated community’
**Terrorists are not refugees.
Terrorism is not diversity.
Living in fear is not multiculturalism.
Denying rape/violence is not tolerance.
Cultural invasion is not integration.
Those who don’t understand the above shouldn’t be in government. It’s really
that simple.
**Kashmir is Hindu land. Pakistan has no right to claim Kashmir. Kashmir belonged to India before Pakistan was “created”.

This is the exact type of imams which the Muslim world desperately needs. With consecutive destructive, hate-filled and moronic leadership the population has been turned into a selfish, savage and sucking fireball.
Any Muslim whose mind is not cluttered with the filth forced in by the venomous heads would definitely realize how just, humane and farsighted, Imam Tawhidi @imamofpeace is!
And here is his latest quip on how the leftists treat him:
Leftists: “Majority of Muslims are peaceful people who stand against terrorism in the name of Islam.”
Imam Tawhidi: “I’m an Imam of Peace and I plan on exposing extremist ideologies/teachings and bringing reform from within.”
Leftists: “Then you’re a fake Imam paid by Israel.”
If you study in a college which has both science and arts stream or commerce and if you study arts there, you can’t claim you study in a science college or commerce college or that you study science/commerce.
Or suppose if you have heard an English song you can’t claim you have listened to a Hindi song. Similarly you can’t claim you had a nikah with a muslim man or woman without conversion to Islam since nikah means marriage between a muslim man and a muslim woman. You can’t call a banana as mango and vice versa.
The marriage you witnessed in the video is a marriage in Arabic language that’s it, that’s the significance of it. It cannot be called an Islamic nikah. Since you don’t believe in Islam so things mentioned in nikah process won’t be acceptable to you. So you basically acted in front of his family to please them. And imam can do anything for money, they are humans not god or prophet.
Thanks.
Wow, “imam can do anything for money”. We thought Islam has strict rules–apparently not. It is great news for non-Muslim that they don’t have to convert (with little more money is okay).
When a marriage between a male and female is considered illegal on the grounds of religion, then the inherent fault lies only with that faith and the followers.
And comically, the well-dwelling population imagines how pathetic the freethinking world is!
Let the cult-loaded minds fume, we shall move on!
Thanks for the article post.Really thank you! Great.
