One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalaam Alaikum,

Dear Brother Burhan

Hi Its nice reading your mails and from each mail you get to know something new and to serve Mumenin in such a way is indeed a sawab , May god (Almighty Bless you)

My Question is that if a Bohragirls runs away from her house & marrys a Hindu boy without her parents wish. thought her hindu husband is a nice person, but what about her akherat (i mean after death). And What Holly Quran says on this Wassalaam, Thankyou 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Muslim girl marries Hindu Boy

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.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter, for your kind supplications for us. If, with our humble and weak efforts, we are able to bring even one person closer to his/her Creator and His Message, we will consider ourselves the most fortunate people on earth. We ask for no reward and no appreciation for our efforts, and do this humble deed for the Pleasure of Allah Subhanah Alone. We beg Allah Subhanah to have mercy on the beliervers, accept our humble and weak efforts, forgive us our short comings, and forgive all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire.

Your Question: My Question is that if a Bohra girls runs away from her house & marrys a Hindu boy without her parents wish. thought her hindu husband is a nice person, but what about her akherat (i mean after death). And What Holly Quran says on this

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 221:

Do not marry ‘mushrik’ women unless they believe. A slave woman who believes is better than a free woman who does not believe, even though the latter may appear very attractive to you. Likewise, do not wed your women to ‘mushrik’ men, unless they believe. A slave man who believes, is better than a free man who does not believe, even though he may be very pleasing to you. These ‘mushriks’ invite you to the Fire while Allah, by His Grace, invites you to the Gardens and His Pardon. He makes His Revelations plain to the people so that they should learn a lesson, and follow the admonition.

It is prohibited and ‘haraam’ for a believing woman to marry anyone who is not a believer. If she does so, she will be disobeying a direct command of Allah Subhanah, and will be held severely accountable for her deeds in the Court of Allah on the Day of Judgment.

If a believing woman indeed marries a Hindu or any ‘mushrik’ man, that marriage will not be valid in the sight of Shariah or Islamic Law, and in the sight of Allah Subhanah. She will be living in a state of sin for all her life, and her accounting in the Court of Allah on the Day of Recompense will be very severe and dreadful indeed.

Allah Subhanah, in the above quoted aayah of Surah Baqarah says that ‘these ‘mushriks’ invite you to the Fire, while Allah, by His Grace, invites the believers to the Gardens and His Pardon!’

The believing girl who chooses to disobey the Laws of her Creator, chooses the Fire, rather than the Mercy, Grace, and Pardon of her Merciful Lord, and the Gardens of Paradise!

May Allah Subhanah guide the believing men, women, and their children to the Straight Path of Islam.

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.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
