Answer:
Why cannot marry non muslim
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.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 221:
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 un 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.
Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, Allah Subhanah has
absolutely prohibited and declared it unlawful for a believing woman to seek to
marry a disbeliever….such a marriage would have absolutely no legal basis
either in the Sight of Shariah Law, nor of Allah Subhanah.
Allah Subhanah Declares in Truth that were a believer to
marry an idolatrous disbeliever, because of the closeness of the relationship
of marriage, there is every chance that one might be inclined towards or accept
their idolatrous belief……a belief which would guarantee one’s entrance into the
eternal and everlasting torture of Hell Fire in the life Hereafter!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 72:
Whoever commits ‘shirk’ (invoking anything with
Allah), Allah shall forbid for him
Allah says in the Quran: Chapter 4 Surah An-Nisa
Verse 48
Shirk (associating other deities with Allah) is the only sin that Allah does
not forgive, and He forgives, whomsoever He pleases, sins other than this, for
whosoever associates any other partner with Allah, does indeed forge a big lie
and commits the most heinous sin.
Beloved Sister, as much as both the boy and the girl who
hold absolutely different religious beliefs may agree before marriage that each
will be allowed to follow their own beliefs…..the reality on the floor when one
actually gets married is quite different! The environment, the families, the relatives,
the friends, the upbringing and belief of the off-springs, the celebrations and
commemorations of religious occasions and festivals, etc…each of them would
pose a challenge beyond imagination! For
a believer to hold firm one’s faith when faced with such insurmountable
challenges by marrying an idolatrous disbeliever would be to put oneself in a
trial which one simply does not possess the capacity to prevail!!!! The inevitable result of such marriages is
either at best the believer becomes irreligious, or at worst starts accepting
or practicing at least some part of the faith of the disbelievers, thus earning
the unimaginable Wrath, Anger and Eternal Punishment of Allah Subhanah!
To save one from putting themselves in a trail they simply
do not have the capacity to bear, The All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord has Commanded
the believers to never ever seek to marry idolatrous disbelievers, unless and
until they genuinely and sincerely accept Islam as their way of life.
…..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.
What a sorry state and sight it would be in the Hereafter
if one who had been blessed to be a ‘muslim’ disobeyed a clear Command of Allah
Subhanah, indulged in the unlawful, and brought upon themselves the Eternal and
Everlasting Wrath, Anger and Punishment of Hell Fire!
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
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,
