How can I convince my Muslim parents that this is not going against Islam?

Fa says: October 28, 2012 at 11:27 am

Hello,

I’m not sure if I’m on the right page, but I want to ask any Muslim who has married a non-Muslim.

I want to marry my Hindu boyfriend but how can I convince my parents that this is not going against Islam? I have done research on the internet and all I see is that Quran does not allow a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim.

Salman and Amrita, if you guys can read this, please let me know your opinions about this. My parents are very supportive but they are worried that I will go against Allah. Please help. Thank you so much. -Fa

Dear Fa,

Before convincing your parents, first you have to be convinced for yourself. You have made very contrasting two statements. One side you said “I want to marry my Hindu boyfriend” and the other side “this is not going against Islam” and “worried that I will go against Allah”.

If your primary objective is to please Allah and follow Koran, DO NOT EVER marry an idol-worshipper kafir Hindu; do not even dream. Instead find a true Muslim who performs namaz five times a day, plenty around. This is the way to make Allah happy. If not in THIS life, you will certainly have good AFTRE life.

Further, even the worst you could do is to ask the Hindu to “fake” convert to Islam. This “fake” conversion will ruin lives of both of you and both sides extended families; ultimately your marriage life will be like that of Madiha’s parents, Dee, Anita and Nirmala.

Interfaith marriages are for people who believe in interpreting scriptures in their own way, not literally. For example, Shamim has stated “it WAS prohibited that rule was only valid within a context”. Are you open for interpretation of Koran in your own way and that make sense in today’s world?

You first read “Muslim girl” article and references there in. Also directly involve your bf and ask him to read “Hindu Boy”. Sit down with both sets of parents and be transparent for each other’s expectations. Do not rush into marriage for at least 2+ years and make a fully “informed” decision.

If you still need tips on how to convince your parents, get back to us. Keep us posted for your development over years. Best wishes. –Admin.

We have good interfaith consultants and many of them will get back to you shortly for your question “how can I convince my parents?”.

    I am a messenger from Allah, I have come to tell all of everyone who believes in that I have put everyone here in this world together, you are all humans, all of you have a should, weather you pray to me as my name is Allah, weather you pray to me as my name is known as god or even if you believe in my source as god you still have faith in me, I have come with this message from Allah himself he has many names, but you all believe in him, everyone here is a human he has put everyone in this Earth together, now you decide to separate yourself and hate the people around you. I told all of you in the quran that my brother Mohammad sent that we should not hate but yet you criticize other people because they believe in another god or idol, Everyone of you is different all have different minds and personality, I brought all of you here not to hate and kill each other, learn to love everyone and accept everyone, Allah will love all of you because he is god, so stop this hate and learn to love everyone. Allah has told me all of this my brothers and sisters.

      bro. . The definition which was given is not correct on that site. . .There is not clear cut in that.. .

      He says Al Mushriqun is pagans but its not correct.
      The actual meaning which is comes from shirk(i.e. associating partners with the Allah s.w.t).. . . . The plural form of shirk is mushrik. .

      The verse 2:221 clearly says
      “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.”

      If we analys by todays. ..The major religion of the people except islam are polytheist. . . then its not possible to marry other religion…

          Dear Aakash Mallick, the logic that Newageislam has used is completely non-sense. They are saying things without backed up by enough islamic texts. I can expose them but due to my exam i am unable to do so, coz it takes time which i don’t have now.
          You can referm to this website where they support their claims using Quran and gave enough references from Quran. islamnewsroom.com/news-we-need/1937-she-married-a-hindu-problems#.VN8dTlHZLzA.facebook

    Hello so called protector,

    Your mentality seems to be a talibani terrorist. God is one,who has created every body, but worshipped and remembered by different modes by different communities. Dont try to plead punishment of Allah. He will punish people like you who commit cruelty, attrocties on muslim females in the name of Allah.

      Hello Nargis,

      Your observation is so rational and useful for the human being. You have rightly noted that

      “God is one,who has created every body, but worshipped and remembered by different modes by different communities.”

      If all the Muslim males start thinking that way, terrorism will become extinct immediately.

  • November 11, 2012 10:05 am

    Hi truth ,

    You are great liar? Dont you know how vulgar statements have been in the Quran itself about females? All sorts of attrocities are committed in the name of islam on the females, Dont you know the rapist Prophet, who did not spare his grand daughter like 6 years old girl, how brutually, female circumcision is done?
    You are basically a talibani or al-quayada millitant. Shame on you.

    So called Truth Seeker,

    Let me remind you that it’s a wbsite for educated people, not a Madarsa. So, only rational and truthful information/arguments are recommended for the audience.

    Please correct your knowledge taught you in your Madarsa. Ask your teachers who was the mother of Saraswati? If her mother was not Brahma’s wife, how can be she the daughter of Brahma?

    Nityananda has been jailed and is considered a criminal. Only people like you can worship him in the same way as you do Muhammad who was far superior than Nityananda in the womanizing skills. I am pretty sure, you have high regard for Muhammad, can you deny it?

    No slavery (gulami) anymore to the outdated barbaric customes such as circumcision. All educated womenfolk should think that circumcision is just an oppressive custom on Muslim babies/children as many practices on the women. You all should be determined to no to circumcise your children unless they attain the age of maturity, preferably after marriage. This is an issue that affects the wife of your child. Hence, it should be decided by the married couple. So, must stop this oppression of your child and don’t allow it where ever you can as it’s nowhere mentioned in Quraan. It has imported and thrust upon to the civilized world and though it has lost its ground in the whole non-Islamic world, it still exists among the Muslims/Jews.

    Breath in fresh air. It’s time to say no to burqa/Niqab altogether to save yourself from suffocation. Raise your voice where ever you can – in your/relative’s family, in schools, hospitals, buses/trains, marriage parties or other gatherings.

    Be your own Maulavi/Mullah. Allah has given intellect to everybody including Muslim women. Then why this dependence on Male Mullahs and Maulavis? You can have female Maulavis/Mullahs who don’t need to be certified by the Male Maulvis. Believe in Allah, but never in Muhammad’s words. Accept the good things of Quraan but not everything of it. The irrational things must be discarded.

        Power of knowledge will prove the last nail of the coffin of the ideology of Muhammad. Just we need to spread it. Most of the people don’t know the facts about Muhammad’s lofe and his oppressive ideology against women in general and the Muslim women in particular. Every Muslim woman must do somthing to eradicate the malpractices such as Burqa, circumcision, polygamy, marrying with older males, marrying cousins, to name a few. This will bring about the change.

    Hi every one. Some more inputs against women in islam:

    Muhammad’s Own Words

    Prophet of Doom was written to expose what Islam’s founder had to say about himself, his ambition, religion, and god. Before you use or criticize these quotes, please read this overview from the author. For those who are serious about the study of Islam, be sure to read the source material appendix, entitled Islam’s Dark Past.

    Women

    Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”
    Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”
    Qur’an 4:3 “If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice who seem good to you, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to do justice (to so many), then only one, or (a slave) that you possess, that will be more suitable. And give the women their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, eat it with enjoyment, take it with right good cheer and absorb it (in your wealth).”
    Qur’an 4:11 “Allah directs you in regard of your Children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females…. These are settled portions ordained by Allah.”
    Bukhari:V1B22N28 “The Prophet said: ‘I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.’ When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, ‘All the favors done for them by their husbands.'”
    Muslim:B1N142 “‘O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell.’ A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof.'”
    Qur’an 2:282 “And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women [a man is worth two women, and one man is always needed], such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her.”
    Qur’an 4:43 “Believers, approach not prayers with a mind befogged or intoxicated until you understand what you utter. Nor when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving.” [The Qur’an claims women are unclean and polluted – worse than dirt.]
    Bukhari:V4B55N547 “The Prophet said, ‘But for the Israelis, meat would not decay, and if it were not for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands.'”
    Qur’an 33:59 “Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better.”
    Qur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”
    Bukhari:V4B52N143
    V5B59N523 “When we reached Khaybar, Muhammad said that Allah had enabled him to conquer them. It was then that the beauty of Safiyah was described to him. Her husband had been killed, so Allah’s Apostle selected her for himself. He took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad where her menses were over and he took her for his wife, consummating his marriage to her, and forcing her to wear the veil.'”
    Bukhari:V5B59N524 “The Muslims said among themselves, ‘Will Safiyah be one of the Prophet’s wives or just a lady captive and one of his possessions?'”
    Ishaq:593 “From the captives of Hunayn, Allah’s Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another.”
    Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.'”
    Ishaq:584 “Tell the men with you who have wives: never trust a woman.”
    Ishaq:185 “In hell I saw women hanging by their breasts. They had fathered bastards.”
    Qur’an 24:31 “Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty except what (must) appear; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display them except to their husbands…”
    Qur’an 24:34 “Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. [And here’s the freedom-to-pimp card:] But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving.”
    Ishaq:469 “The Apostle said, ‘Every wailing woman lies except those who wept for Sa’d.'”
    Tabari VIII:62
    Ishaq:496 “Ali [Muhammad’s adopted son, son-in-law, and future Caliph] said, ‘Prophet, women are plentiful. You can get a replacement, easily changing one for another.'”
    Ishaq:496 “Ask the slave girl; she will tell you the truth.’ So the Apostle called Burayra to ask her. Ali got up and gave her a violent beating first, saying, ‘Tell the Apostle the truth.'”
    Qur’an 24:1 “(This is) a surah which We have revealed and made obligatory and in which We have revealed clear communications that you may be mindful. For the woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah. And let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.”
    Qur’an 24:6 “And for those who launch a charge against their wives, accusing them, but have no witnesses or evidence, except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies, (swearing four times) by Allah that he is the one speaking the truth.”

    Hi dear, Fa

    Here in this site, so many muslim girls, highly educated, have married their Hindu BFs, like Sabana, Chand Osmani, Shamim, Fauzia, Mumtaz etc. and more likely Husna going to marry Ashok. In fact, as a adult you are at liberty to choose your professionally compatible, like minded, loyal and caring soul mate, in the modern age. God is one, known by different names by different communities.

    I am also in love with a Hindu boy, he is a doctor (medicines) and myself also Dr.Radiology. In muslim community no professionally qualified and like minded match is not available and so I have decided to marry my Hindu BF, who is very caring, loyal and committed. Religion is a man made system of belief whereas the love is the creation of God.
