Answer:

Girl wishes to marry Ahmadi

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 no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: i have a question regarding ahmedies muslims. i am a practicing muslim i do five times prayers but the only bad thing i did was likeing an ahmadie boy. we really like each other and want to get married, but i know that its wrong and they are considered non-muslims.

The Ahmadi sect believes in the advent of a Prophet after the Last and Final Messenger of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws); any person who holds such a belief automatically leaves the fold of Islam and will be regarded as a disbeliever in the sight of Shariah.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 221: Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters) until they believe; a slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman even though she allure you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: a man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allure 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.

Allah Subhanah has specifically prohibited the marriage of a believing woman to an unbeliever; and any marriage that takes place between a believing woman and an unbeliever will be considered a transgression of the Commands of Allah Subhanah, and regarded as absolutely null and void in the sight of Shariah.

Regardless of how much one loves an unbeliever, and regardless of how much one fears hurt and pain if the relationship is brought to an end; we as believers must fear the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah on those who transgress His Laws, and know with certaintly that no amount of pain and hurt experienced in the life of this world could possibly even dare to compare itself with the pain and hurt that will be unleashed on those who transgress the Laws of the All-Mighty Lord.

The only legal way for a believing woman to marry an unbeliever is to convince him to accept Islam and become a true believer.

Your Question: i want to know why its wrong to marry an ahmadi and would i commet a shirk if i did.

Allah Subhanah has specifically prohibited the marriage of a believing woman with an unbeliever, and the wisdom behind this Command of the All-Wise is that it is possible that the believing woman might be put to a severe trial regarding her belief in Islam were she to marry and live the rest of her life with an unbelieving husband and household. Not only would the conflict in beliefs between the couple not allow them to live in peace and harmony in the life of this world; it is feared that the believing woman might compromise her beliefs to sustain her marriage and thus secure the same fate for herself in the Hereafter as the unbeliever.

‘Shirk’ is the belief that allows the association of a deity with the One and Only Lord of the Worlds, and is thus considered the absolute biggest sin in the Sight of Allah Subhanah. Although the marriage of a believing woman with an unbeliever would not be considered a form or manifestation of ‘shirk’, it definitely would be considered an open and manifest transgression and disobedience of a clear Command and Law of Allah Subhanah. Besides, since the marriage of a believing woman and an unbeliever would not be recognized as valid in the sight of Shariah, the complete relationship between the illegal couple would be deemed a relationship of ‘zina’ in the sight of Allah Subhanah.

Your Question: what are the sighns for hazrat Esa.how would he look like and how would we know its him.

The second coming of Prophet Isa (a.s.) is from amongst the knowledge of the ‘unseen’ and the future, which Allah Subhanah made known to Prophet Mohamed (saws), and he (saws) informed the believers regarding its advent. The second coming of Prophet Isa (a.s.) will co-incide with the times of Imam Mahdi and the Anti-Christ Ad-Dajjal, and no true believer will fail to recognize and accept Prophet Isa (a.s.) as their leader and Imam, when he comes at the time appointed and Decreed by Allah Subhanah.

Whenever anything of the future (like the coming of Imam Mahdi, or the Dajjal, or Prophet Isa (a.s.), or the advents of the Major and Minor Signs of the Hour, etc.) are concerned, we as believers must never indulge in conjecture or guess-works from ourselves; but trust only what is related by Allah Subhanah in the Glorious Quran and what is revealed by the Messenger of Allah (saws) in his authentic traditions.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4310 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Prophet (saws) said: “There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish Jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist, and will live on the earth for forty years, and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.”

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.657 Narrated by Abu Huraira

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "By Him (Allah) in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you, and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross, and kill the pigs, and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non-Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." (4.159)

Sahih Muslim Hadith 6931 Narrated by Hudhayfah ibn Usayd Ghifari

The Messenger of Allah (saws) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He (saws) said: “What do you discuss about?” (The Companions) said: “We are discussing about the Last Hour.” Thereupon he (saws) said: “It will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection), he (saws) made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal (The anti-Christ), the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary (Allah be pleased with him), The Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west, and one in Arabia at the end of which a fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.658 Narrated by Abu Huraira

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you, and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur'an, and not by the law of Gospel”

Sahih Muslim Hadith 6924 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “The Last Hour will not come until the Romans land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people on Earth at that time will come from Medina (to oppose them). When they arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans will say: ‘Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from among us. Let us fight them.’ The Muslims will say: ‘Nay, by Allah, we shall never turn aside from you and from our brethren so that you may fight them.’ They will then fight, and a third (part) of the army, whom Allah will never forgive, will run away. A third (part of the army), which will be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eyes, would be killed. The third who will never be put on trial will win, and they will be the conquerors of Constantinople. As they are busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, Satan will cry: ‘The Dajjal (anti-Christ) has taken your place among your families.’ They will then come out, but it will be of no avail. When they reach Syria, he will come out while they are still preparing themselves for battle, drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer will come and then, Jesus (peace be upon him), son of Mary, will descend and will lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah see him, it will (disappear) just as salt dissolves in water, and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely. Allah would kill them by his (Jesus’s) hand, and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).”

Sahih Muslim Hadith 7023 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “The Dajjal (anti-Christ) will appear in my Ummah and he will stay (in the world) for forty--I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. Allah will then send Jesus, son of Mary, who will resemble Urwah ibn Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) will chase him and kill him.”

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