I'm in a unique situation. I was raised Catholic and left the Xathic church in 2008. I've identified as a Christian afterward. I met buddhist wife, and started a family. after 10 years I found the truth in Islam and the Glorious Koran. I took my Shahada in January. My wife has no interest of becoming muslim. I also don't force my religion upon my family, but I pray that Allah(SWT) puts ease in my mind and makes the path to Islam easy for my family to easy for then to recognize , Inshallah. Allahu Akbar!!

[@PastleLif3]

Oh wow your situation is a bit unique. I am sure Allah is all forgiving. Continue making duas for your wife to become on the right path. I thought I have heard that it is okay for wife to not be Muslim. Maybe continue showering with family the true religion or even taking them to religious countries to see the beauty.

How many young brothers do you know who don't want to marry in the faith or don't want to marry at all because the mistreatment of their father's or uncles or grandfather's. Yet I'm meeting many young women who don't wish to marry because they don't want to face abuse. Men have a greater responsibility placed on them because they hold more power over a woman. Also if you in a an unhealthy relationship regardless of your gender it is not fixed with more harshness it requires gentleness and more gentleness. Besides this father's are the head of the household so if their daughters don't marry within the faith because the example they left they will be responsible. Also there is no excuse in our faith for abusing hitting or mistreating a woman no matter how bad she is men are advised to be patient, withhold from intimate relations or divorce if they are faced with mistreatment from women so my point still stands.

[@ibraheemkhan9116]

I totally agree with the segregation. I was just wondering, why it’s so difficult to even say Salam to a Muslimah, but I can easily speak to any non Muslim woman respectfully but for some reason it’s so difficult to even acknowledge here. And also how are we supposed to marry Muslims when we feel like they’re hidden away? SubhanAllah I definitely agree there’s a fine line but I do believe there needs to be a change.

[@0741921]

@Luqmaan Rashid lol, define just fine? Clearly this topic indicates that over the past 100 years, things have certainly not been fine and only getting worse. Furthermore, society was very different back then and the world is not the same. Segregation has to be within practical limits. By your logic, the world should be divided into 2, and each gender should live in their half. Being aware and interacting with the other gender under the right conditions is completely halal. As the brother mentioned, how is one suppose to find a Muslim spouse if their entire circle is filled with non Muslim opposite gender people and they don't know if any potential muslims partners. You can say parents will introduce and what not, but not everyone is in an ideal situations. So many people live away from parents to families who can introduce you to someone. So let me ask you, did it occur to you that you spoke without thinking and without getting off your high horse?

Your comment is spot on with the lecture, unfortunately it went over their head. To the bothers and sisters that do not understand the comment: we are referring to ways of avoiding our children marring non Muslims in a western society. Non Muslim men and women are easily accessible if we had more ways to interact with others of our faith it could deter us from being drawn towards non Muslims. He didn’t say abolish separation because it’s a beautiful and important concept to have a brother/ sisterhood he said there is a fine line. As an involved parent if my daughter played Islamic trivia, games, activities with a mixed group in a masjid I would be content that my daughter interacts with Muslim males rather than the non Muslim males at school. I don’t know if you all didn’t listen to the lecture or misread what @ibraheem KHAN wrote. Allah knows best in Sha Allah we can as a community come up with a way to keep our children on the right path.

[@lavendersnow6447]

While I do recognize the importance and truth in all of this. My husband married me when I was a not so good Christian and when I had absolutely no interest or intention of ever converting. And here I am 4 years later A muslim. In my situation, this crisis we speak of actually was an incredible blessing for me. Alhamduilallah

[@Islamic.perspectives.]

Alhamdulillah that you converted. However, the problem here is quite different. Your marriage to your husband is sanctioned by the Qur'an, with certain conditions. There is no requirement in Islam for a Christian or Jewish woman who is married to a Muslim man to convert to Islam, even if it is highly encouraged. The case discussed by the shaykh here (the marriage of a Muslim woman to a non-Muslim man) is prohibited by the Qur'an. Hence, your children with your husband, even when you were Christian, would have been considered legitimate. Since the marriage of a Muslim women and a non-Muslim man is not Qur'anically legitimate in the first place, any children born of the relationship while the husband is Christian would be considered illegitimate. They would be excluded from Islamic inheritance rights, and would carry the severe stigma of illegitimacy in Islam, even if the husband subsequently converted. May Allah protect us from such circumstances.

[@xondeez757]

a muslim male can marry christian women because in islamic law the father chooses the name of the child and children HAS to take the religion of the father otherwise he would be sinful for marrying a non muslim.

[@infodaynightconv1445]

@@lisettecamejo4243 Mine is a female view - 100% agree with you that a female Muslim marrying a non-Muslim is an invalid marriage. However I would qualify your comment by saying men had substance in the time of our Prophet PBUH and outside of this century however in the present day world men are incredibly weak and incredibly weak for a woman of beauty in particular. So a Muslim man though he can marry women "of the Book" in fact it is bad policy to do so because women today exert great influence in a household and over men as the men have become incredibly weak. You will see that a Muslim man married to a Christian woman for instance - well just watch the children and judge for yourself how much confusion there is. Next is an important point - a Muslim man contrary to what Muslims believe cannot marry just any Christian or Jew - only those who believe in the ORIGINAL Injeel not the totally rewritten Bible of today. Original Injeel has no reference to Jesus saying he is God (Astaghfirullah). Ditto Torah only those jewish ladies who subscribe to Allah as sole owner and Creator of the universe and Moses PBUH as his Prophet. So a Muslim male does not have carte blanche to marry any non-Muslim but he can only marry a woman who accepts the Unity of Allah however best is to stick to a virtuous Muslim wife who can influence the children in an Islamic way.

About love, the romantic notion of love prevalent in the world today with its superficial values and criteria, is not recognised in Islam. In Islam you cannot love someone and expect Allah to give HIS blessings to your relationship unless they first love Allah with all their might and soul and submit to HIM totally. It is meaningless to "love" someone who does not love his/her Creator more than anyone else. They have to love Allah more than you technically before you can claim to love him/her. You have to love Allah more than him/her as well.

[@Alternatestories]

"One common complaint in many western Muslim communities is regarding the disproportionate number of unmarried sisters to brothers (although both are likely increasing year after year), and this is for a number of reasons. The following are summarized points of concern raised by brothers and sisters in the western Muslim community - points which are not all-inclusive or necessarily objective, but they're all worthy of careful examination and rectification: 1. Many (but not all) cultural parents care more about preserving the religious well-being of their daughters more than their sons, directly and indirectly through their parenting and teachings. In some responses, education was cited alongside this point by many sisters. 2. A complaint from many sisters is that there aren't enough "practicing" brothers who have stable incomes, mental stability, maturity, and basic religious adherence; the usual follow-up is that people are generally experiencing delayed adolescence due to social, economic, and environmental trends. Some brothers responded to this claim by citing the unrealistic financial expectations, unreasonable cultural expectations which complicate the process of marriage, and financial difficulties due to cultural expectations surrounding marriages and weddings. 3. A complaint from many brothers is that the frameworks of "secularism, liberalism, and feminism" - all used here as loose definitions requiring their own separate academic discussions (so don't get hung up over the labels) - have, in many cases, negatively influenced many Muslim women indirectly and made them less appealing candidates due to their adoption of many trends which conflict with Islamic teachings (just as these frameworks have also negatively influenced men in other areas). 4. The loss of "real manliness" as well as the "extreme cultural influences on men" - where manliness is twisted into abusive behavior against one's spouse rather than being the household leader, protector, and maintainer - was cited by many sisters as a hindrance to marriage. The issue of knowing the differences between religion and culture was highlighted by both brothers and sisters as a contributing factor. 5. The social issues of hyper-sexualization and unrealistic beauty standards, combined with limitless media consumption and unrestricted glances by both men and women, has caused many men to subconsciously set unrealistic beauty standards in their search for prospects, overlooking in the process a significant number of practicing and compatible sisters. 6. The deterioration of hayaa' (loosely translated as "modesty") in men and women has also been cited as a major concern; in many cases, the loss of the proper understanding and implementation of hijaab (i.e., not as a "fashion statement" or "loose headscarf") was referenced as an obstacle by a significant number of brothers. Additionally, many brothers emphasized that the general loss of modesty in marriage prospects was their only obstacle to marriage, and it was based on their "general observations of prospects" through social media and at local MSAs, mosques, and events. 7. A lack of religious education, pre-marital workshops and lectures, and general cultural and parental influences was cited by both brothers and sisters as a contributing factor. 8. Cultural stigmas surrounding divorcees was cited as a negative factor by a significant number of sisters in many communities. Islam doesn't condone this cultural stigma, and this is why the distinction between religion and culture is crucial. 9. Age was mentioned as a factor by a few brothers who believe that the delayed marriage age in sisters was a negative trend rather than a positive one (e.g., "their focus on education and careers for too long before marriage"). 10. A general lack of consistent religious adherence was cited by both brothers and sisters in many responses. This is not an exhaustive list of contributing factors, nor are there specific solutions being addressed in this Facebook status, but these issues do require attention and continuous education via a multi-faceted approach. Additionally, we must individually assess our own actions online and offline and ask ourselves how, if at all, our statements and actions contribute to these factors. More likely than not, most people are already aware of the above-mentioned issues, but the question is more about our affirmation or denial of such trends in the community. You have a role to play regardless of your status; this includes parents, married folks, single brothers and sisters, and educators or event organizers of various backgrounds." - Suleiman Hani

What do you mean about stigmas surrounding divorcees? It is obvious that men prefer virgins, even divorced men. This is but natural. Even the best men to have ever set foot on Earth (PBUH), preferred the garden that has never been grazed upon. This does not mean that men think divorcees are less human or morally defective. Just like men prefer younger women, fitter women does not mean older women or less fit women are less human or morally defective. The divorcees should focus on the things they can control: getting and staying fit and becoming more submissive/feminine in their mindset. They also need to have 100% healed from their last marriage.

Sheikh, you tell the mother to boycott her marriage but then you say how long will you boycott your daughter? This mother should be encouraged to embrace her future son in law snd god willing, through the actions of the parents, good deeds, great manners snd patience, he can one day accept this great religion. Let’s spread goodness on earth instead of segregating from other non Muslims. Who knows that Allah swt brought this man who is an atheist today to get the knowledge that these parents can instill into this person longing for direction! May Allah swt guide us All to the righteousness. 🤲

[@Rantitoutloud]

Thank you for saying this. Her family embracing him can very much bring him to Islam. Love and kindness are very powerful and when we talk about these things, the solution is always to cut someone off or pass judgment. Let's talk to these interfaith couples, bring them in. Chances are they love their faith and want their kids/partner to love it too but with this shaming culture/practice..guess what? They leave the community all together. Not necessarily Islam but the muslim community. Also, can we be a bit realistic here, we are a minority in this country. Some don't even have a muslim community in their city. We need to lead with love in these conversations. Only Allah knows our intentions and I pray God makes it easier on all of us.

Complete gender segregation means we will not learn how to interact with one another in a halal way. Segregation is generally crucial…but not totally.

[@fark69]

Interacting with the opposite gender is not the same as mixing with them. If a woman comes to your house, knocks, has a conversation with you at the door and then leaves, that is not the same as going to an event and standing shoulder to shoulder with women outside your family and such things as this. I think the biggest problem with relaxing this is that it makes it possible for us to relax everything and lose Islam altogether. If dating before marriage will help Muslims get married then let's allow that too! If they want to get physical before marriage but just not to the level of zina because that will help them get married then let's allow that too! It's not a good precedent to set.

[@MohamedOsman-gb1ry]

I agree fully with all points that you shared. Personally, we practiced all those points with our children from long time. But, there will be more to discuss and add to this conversation and this critical topic; 1-I hope that this topic can be addressed among all Muslim communities during Friday prayers and to open a community discussion openly with all its members with different age and gender to reach the bottom of this problem and to come with a concrete solution that we all have to share to take steps to get rid of this problem. 2-we have to have community gathering monthly as Eid celebration gathering, to go slowly from this heavy segregation to a better and healthy organic engagement among the youth of our communities. 3-traditional and arranged marriage is very important at young age but this is not the only way but also carefully considering marriage’s websites will be also productive to tactile this problem. 4- living in the western culture especially in the USA has a great benefit if we use it right to solve this issue that was not available before. I mean that Muslim women have a great chance to marry from 2 billion Muslims across the globe, not just from America only but from anywhere through breaking this cultural barriers and the false idea of scarring that you will marry from someone just maybe to make paper ( citizenship) from you only in USA and after that he will leave you but you can go to live with him in his country back and forth together. Muslim women here have a huge chance for marriage than any woman in anywhere but they have to have the gut to take steps in the right direction to process this marriage contract right. 5- this is not a new phenomenon or problem among Muslim community but.always existed when Islam was spreading to a new land where Muslims were a minority. Muslims never tried to break the Islamic laws but they found solution to go through but in our situation now is very unique situation and complicated because of the openness of sex and its legalization across the western domain that make the marriage more difficult but not impossible. 6- Omar, second Khalifa of Islam, addressed it when Muslim men married from Roman women leaving Muslim women without marriage and he prohibited it.
