A True Muslim Doesn’t Fall in Love with Non-Muslim

Zakir NaikMohammed says: April 6, 2016 at 10:08 pm

Its ur misconception…A true muslim doesnt fall in love with non muslim.

Koran (24:30) says Muslim men are not supposed to look at women. If they (Muslim boys) see other (Hindu) girl, they are supposed to lower their gaze.

Koran 2:221: You shall not wed pagan (unbeliever in Islam) women, unless they embrace the Faith. A believing slave girl is better than an idolatress, although she may please you.

Admin says: If you know of a Muslim dating a non-Muslim, ask if 1) he/she is a non-Muslim (not believing in 24:30) or 2) are you out for a love-Jihad?

A true Muslim will, 1) like Muhammed said, will not fall in love with a non-Muslim, 2) will perform namaz five times/day and 365 days/year and 3) will pay 1/40 of their asset/year in donation. If some Muslim is asking you for a date, remind him/her to be a true Muslim first.

      Dear sister lisa, Allah didn’t deny marriage of a muslim with a non-muslim because non-muslim aren’t humans or non-muslim are not his creation but because non-muslims do not believe in allah the way allah wanted and non-muslim doesn’t believe and respect final messenger of allah, so allah doesn’t want those who believe in him and his messenger(i.e muslim) marry someone who doesn’t believe(i.e non-muslim) because it will drag muslim partner into hell fire no matter how staunch muslim he or she is. Allah denied marriage because of faith problem not because of humanity, and then allah allowed marriage if the faith part is corrected i.e when the non-muslim partner become muslim. Had allah denied marriage for any other religion, allah would have said never marry a non-muslim, but allah doesn’t says so, allah says marry only when they become muslim else not.
      Here is the relevant verse from Quran, Chapter 2;Verse 221 which forbid such marriage but allows only when the non-muslim partner become muslim.
      Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe, A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she pleases you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he pleases you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.” [QURAN 2:221]

    A true Muslim may fall in love with a non-muslim, but a true muslim will not have a non-muslim wife or husband. A true muslim convert his/her spouse into islam before marriage.

      This is not honesty.
      This teaching is not in line with Allah message 24:30.
      To get into romantic relationship for years and later ask for religious conversion should be unpardonable sin.

      Are you saying Muslims should play taqiyya and do love jihad to increase Muslim vote power?

        I am saying a muslim might fall in love with a non-muslim boy or girl, and as is the reality, plenty of muslim boys and girls have hindu bf or gf in india. If knowingly they are dating or having relationship with non-muslim girl or boy, that being in such relationship(i.e going physical before marriage) it is against quran, then sin on them, and after doing those sin, if they get married then double and eternal sin on them, so if they rectify their sin before marriage with a non-muslim it is good for them.
        Just because they unknowingly fall in love with a non-muslim doesn’t mean they knowingly go against islam and marry a non-muslim, as per islam, they must make their non-muslim partner a muslim before such marriage, that is what islam says, violating this ruling of islam, as said in quran, takes a person to hell fire.

          That is Love-Jihad!

            There is nothing call Love-Jihad.
            For sake of argument let`s assume there is something like love jihad, then what?

            What do you want us to do? If you are in pure love with a Hindu and wish to marry “Hindu,” our all blessing are for you. If you wish to convert someone before marriage, honestly disclose it on the first date, that is what we believe your Allah wants you to do. If you are marrying to someone for political gain, vote power, religious jihad or for financial reasons, its your choice. Only we do is to tell others to be careful of such guys playing taqiyya for personal gain. We have created this web site to educate people against con-artists, but if someone believes in “blind” love, it’s their choice.

    It would be best if we let Allah decide who is a true Muslim and who is not. On the Day of Qiyamat, He will make all the judgements.

        Bro, would you still consider someone as a Hindu if they don’t believe in idols, attend pujas just to please their family (pls remember that Qur’an and sunna teaches us to respect our parents as well) but just happened to be born with a Hindu last name? Seriously, you are calling me ignorant? I don’t know everything but I definitely know what’s wrong for me – and that would have been to marry a Muslim man just because he is Muslim. Trust me, one offer was there from a Muslim who was very interested to “save” me. It turns out, that Muslim was a fake and a hypocrite too…

          // Bro, would you still consider someone as a Hindu if they don’t believe in idols, attend pujas just to please their family (pls remember that Qur’an and sunna teaches us to respect our parents as well) //

          Ignorant people talk like this only, Though Allah clearly says in the Quran not to marry a mushrik , still u had married, now u said attending the pujas just to please parents are not against Quran and sunnah
          No you are wrong sister,
          Quran and Sunnah says, for example If your mushrik parents says against on Allah and rasool, Dont accept them except this respect them

          Allah says in the Quran
          surah nisa chapter 4 v 56
          ” Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.”

          If you reject his sign or ayah then you will be in hell fire then how you come to say let we see on judgement day

    The bottom line for marriage is happiness and harmony. When parents oppose (in case of India) marriage into faith other than their own, it is their concern for their son or a daughter. They want their children to be happy and that is what God wants – marriage should be a source of happiness for the couple, the happier they are together they will be contributing to a better world.

    None of us is an Island, we did not walk out of mother’s womb declaring, I am here all by myself and I don’t need any one. We don’t even go to the grave by ourselves, someone carries us or lits the chita, there are always others we are linked with. We do make compromises to keep the system running as smooth as it can and with least conflicts.

    Parents opposing, or God’s advice against interfaith marriage was based on the notion that it will create disharmony, and it may, when they have children and grand children and their naming and education will bring ego problems.

    That notion does not hold true today, two individuals can live happily and can figure out how they will raise their children or celebrate the festivities or commemorate tragedies. If they fail, their rate of failure is same as people from same faith and same culture. We cannot blame religion for their issues, the issues are human.

    Thus Quran 2:221 advises – not to dictate but to make sure harmony is preserved. People today are more mature and the bottom line of God, Quran and Islam, like all other religions is – harmony. If this can be achieved, God will not oppose it nor Islam will, but there is no one to make a decision like that, but you.

    Indian society has not matured yet to be so open, women are still dependent on men, and it is still a patriarchal society for Hindus, Muslims, Christian, Sikhs and others. If the dude walks out of the marriage, the question of living single and the harassment that goes with becomes dominant.

    The society is changing, and I have seen a lot of progress in the last 50 plus years and it will continue. The failures and successes are a part of the growth.

      Great reply, Mr Ghouse. I normally agree that for peace and harmony it is best to marry within one’s own community. Even small differences between different sects of a religion can sometimes become big issues (I have seen it with some of my Orthodox and Catholic friends for whom, despite both being Christian, intermarriage would be a big problem. Many Muslims oppose marrying anyone other than a Muslim by pointing to Chapter 2 verse 221 and the verse says that it is better to marry a Muslim slave than a free mushrik (polytheist) because polytheism invites you to Hellfire. A friend of mine once asked an Imam at a big mosque about this verse, to understand how it would be interpreted by a learned person rather than all these self-declared imams like Mohammad on this website. He told my friend that while it is not outright forbidden, the person marrying a mushrik would be “preparing their children for Hellfire”. I can assure them that my children are going to be raised with great values and beliefs, and it baffles me why they are so concerned with deciding who is going to hell and who is going to Heaven when they should be focusing on correcting their own behaviour first. Only a very ignorant and uninformed person can say such things as The Qur’an repeatedly says that God will forgive and guide whom He will, and will reward each person dependig on their deeds. We cannot even say that X person is a kafir, unless they declare so themselves, because that is also a big sin. Only Allah knows best.

        ha ha ha, 😀 very funny sister..

        Allah says in the Quran in surah isra chapter 17 v 36
        ” And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allâh)”

        Better dont speak if you dont have any knowledge,
        The only acceptable(permitted) marriage in the sight of Allah is through by Nikaah.
        It is in clear cut.. Its not my problem if you dont know english, Go and ask your imaam does it permissible to marry other than nikaah?

        Allah says in the quran surah baqraah chapter 2 v 221
        Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you.
        Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.”

        I dont know where it says “preparing children to hell” ..? Its in clear cut not to marry mushrik. . for your benifits the verse wont be change

        // The Qur’an repeatedly says that God will forgive and guide whom He will, and will
        reward each person dependig on their deeds. //

        The biggest sin in islam is shirk(associating partenrs) and if he/she dies with the sin of shirk, Allah wont forgive them

        Allah says in the Quran surah nisa chapter 4 v 116
        ” Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray.”

        Do you want your husband to go in to hell fire?
        The best person is that who take their spouce into the Jannah(paradise)

          I want everyone to go to Heaven, Mohammed, including my husband…who is not a mushrik. Make of this information what you will.

          I want us all to go to Heaven and I truly hope that we will both get there inshAllah – may Allah forgive us for whatever we have done wrong in our lives, INCLUDING judging other Muslims the way people regularly do on this forum.

          I understand you wanting to guide someone (like me or others) to the siratal mustakim, but please do not assume that I am so very ignorant in Islam and you know it all & interpret Qur’an perfectly because you listen to Zakir Naik podcasts. I am not claiming to know it all either, Allah knows best, and I am also learning right now, but let’s agree to disagree on some issues. I have heard from multiple Muslim scholars who have a differing opinion than yours, so I’m not making stuff up to make Qur’an suit my own agenda (estagfirullah) – if I knew you in person, I would guide you to those people so you could speak to them and challenge them.

          Admin, I really want Mohammed to answer this below question of mine so please ask him if you can (via e-mail):

          Mohammed, what do you think about this below Al Jazeera article? What this Imam is doing is sinful, according to you? Because Mr Zakir Naik (who is not an imam) says so?

          See this link please: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2012/12/2012122795639455824.html

          “…Imam Taj Hargey of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford is an exception. He has conducted marriage services for Muslim women without their Christian or Jewish partners converting. Most Muslims find this notion unacceptable, claiming it is tantamount to living in sin.

          Imam Hargey’s stance may be controversial, but he argues: “There is no verse in the Holy Quran that bans Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men.”

          “Almighty God would have revealed explicit directives if Muslim women were not allowed to marry outside the faith,” he says. “As Muslim men are entitled to marry women from the People of the Book who are not Muslim [Surah al-Maidah 5:5], the same right must be afforded to Muslim women as Islam is a gender-equal religion.””
