Shia girl reverts to Islam and marriage

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I hope this message meets you in good iman and health.A very Happy Ramadan Mubarak to u.Im in the worst difficulty of my life .I met this very nice sunni guy who comes from a very nice sunni family as well, he introduced me to them and they were very extremely lovable, however just last week he told them that i come from a shia background however i have the pure sunni beliefs.

 

I even read my namaz the sunni way the way Prophet (PBUH) has told us , me and my parents had an heated argument and they eventually agreed to it.However his parents are not accepting me anymore my faith is very pure and very strong i even have said to them that i can put my hand on the Quran and bear witness to Allah to justify myself that i truly am a sunni , my father is very upset with me hes told me that i have to return back to Pakistan and he will marry me into a shia(Shiite) family.

 

I cant live with that,i cant live with someone who doesn`t follow the same faith as me. I went to an Imam in the sunni masjid(im emphasizing suni here just to prove myself that i really am a sunni muslim) even he said this is injustice,Im so lost, iv lost my job i cant interact with my parents. How can i prove them that this is what i really am. Please Please assist me here.Im so devastated and i dont feel anybody`s support except Allah SWT of-course.Do you think this is right? judging me on something that iam not. Can you please please help me. ill be waiting for you reply.

 

Assalamalikum

JazakAllah

Shia girl reverts to Islam and marriage

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Respected sister, if you insist and are adamant to marry the man of your choice, then in our humble opinion, the best way to convince your prospective in-laws regarding your true faith is to approach the Islamic Centre or the Imam of the Masjid closest to your in-laws place of residence and convince them regarding the state of your faith.

 

If you are able to convince the Imam of the majsid close to the residence of your prospective in-laws, then the Imam’s assurance regarding the state of your belief to your prospective in-laws would hold a lot more weight.

 

If even after your best efforts you are unable to convince the parents of the boy you like regarding the state of your faith, you are obviously well within your rights to seek to marry another righteous and pious believer who would believe in what you claim.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 216:

216 ……But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah Knows and ye know not.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
