Eid Mubarak to you as well.

It will still not be permissible. This law is to safeguard the Muslim women so although such isolated cases might be true where the non-Muslim man says he will agree to everything, such a marriage would still remain impermissible.

The matter of fact yet remains that such a man can change his mind later on or such a person could be deceiving the woman. (I am not referring to the person in question but speaking generally).

So to safeguard the Muslim women, such a marriage has been declared impermissible.

Firstly Eid Mubarak. Secondly i would be most grateful if you could get back to me about the comment posted by myself on the 3/09/09.

Jazakallah

Yahushua also said: “Go instead to my brothers and tell them, `I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” [John 20:17]

QUESTION 1: Why would the Saviour call His heavenly Father “my God” if He is himself God?

QUESTION 2: Why would the Saviour who was “a man approved of God among you” [Acts 2;22] need God’s approval if he was himself “GOD” ?

QUESTION 3: Why does the writer of Acts 2;22 say “wonders and signs, which God did by him”? “Him” being the Saviour? If this ”approved man” is in fact GOD then why does the writer not plainly say “Jesus of Nazareth, was God among you performing miracles and wonders and signs”?

QUESTION 4: Why does the Lamb in Revelations chapter 5 and 7 and 22 standing in the midst of the throne of God not have a throne of his own? Why are there not three thrones, one for each person of the so-called trinity? :

i was reading your article and i undestand and respect your points of by muslim women cannot marry non muslim men form the book. however my friend who is a muslim woman is in a relationship with a non muslim man. He had read into islam and has a veru in depth knowledge of islam. He said he would convert however he read on the internet that conversion soley on the purpose to get married is not accepted. He respects his partners religion adn agreed that if they were to get married and have kids, they would be raised as muslims. He also said he wouldnt eat pork or expect her to cook it. He likes that she wear a scarf and wont expect her to change her faith or beliefs. So the points are the same as a muslim man marrying a non muslin woman by the book. they would like to marry….is it at all possible?

jazakallah.

Marrying among tribes or people of the same ethnicity is a cultural practice and is incorrect. If a person is a good Muslim then regardless of his race or language, one should accept the suitor.

However, if your parents do reject, you can get an imam to speak with them.

If a woman is an adult, she can marry the person of her choice if he is suitable. You can inform your parents and if they disagree due to unislamic reasons then you can marry without their presence. The nikah would be valid provided the condition of the witnesses is fulfilled.
