Rebuttal to "The truth about Muslim-Christian marriages"
By
Umar
His article is located at: http://./Authors/Arlandson/mixed_marriage.htm
In response to James Arlandson, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqui says:
In the
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His
Messenger.
Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope
our efforts, which are purely for His Sake, meet your expectations.
In his response to the question in point, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, former
president of the Islamic Society of North America, states the following:
“The issue of friendship here has nothing to do with being Muslim or non-Muslim.
You should not have taken Muslim or non-Muslim males as your friends. The Qur’an
and the Sunnah have given us rules about relations between men and women.
There are two types of people: Mahram and non-Mahram. Mahram
are those relatives between whom marriage is not allowed. Non-Mahram are
those among whom marriage is permissible. Referring to this, Allah Almighty
says: “ Forbidden unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your
sisters, and your father's sisters, and your mother's sisters, and your
brother's daughters and your sister's daughters, and your foster mothers, and
your foster sisters, and your mothers-in-law, and your stepdaughters who are
under your protection (born) of your women unto whom ye have gone in but if ye
have not gone in unto them, then it is no sin for you (to marry their daughters)
and the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins. And (it is
forbidden unto you) that ye should have two sisters together, except what hath
already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving,
Merciful.” (An-Nisaa’: 23)
Muslim men and women can socialize among the Mahrams, but not among the
non-Mahrams. When men and women are in the presence of non-Mahrams
then they must lower their gaze. Allah Almighty says: “And tell the believing
women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only
that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to
reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands
fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their
brothers' sons or sisters sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male
attendants who lack vigor, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And
let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment.
And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed. And
marry such of you as are solitary and the pious of your slaves and maid
servants. If they be poor; Allah will enrich them of His bounty. Allah is of
ample means, Aware.” (An-Nur: 30-31)
He Almighty also says: “O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other
women. If ye keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft of speech, lest he in
whose heart is a disease aspire (to you), but utter customary speech.”
(Al-Ahzab: 32)
Hence it is clear that Islam does not allow Muslims to have friends from the
opposite gender. Males should not have female friends and females should not
have male friends. Non-Mahram males and females may talk to each other,
but should not socialize or go out in parties.
A single male and female should never be together in a place where they are all
alone, isolated without the access of any one else. Islam has given these rules
to save men and women from committing sin or getting involved in situations
where they might commit sin.
As far as the interfaith marriages are concerned, Islam does not encourage them.
The general rule of Islam is that Muslims should marry Muslims. A Muslim male or
female should not marry a non-Muslim male or female. Allah Almighty says: “
Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing bondwoman is better
than an idolatress though she please you; and give not your daughters in
marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better
than an idolater though he please you. These invite unto the Fire, and Allah
inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth thus
His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember.” (Al-Baqarah: 221)
The only exception is given to Muslim men who are allowed to marry the girls
from among the People of the Book. Allah Almighty says: “This day are (all)
good things made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the
Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the
virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the
Scripture before you (lawful for you) when ye give them their marriage portions
and live with them in honor, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret
concubines. Whoso denieth the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the
losers in the Hereafter.” (Al-Ma’dah: 5)
For the satisfaction of your heart, let me explain why Muslim men are allowed to
marry women from among the People of the Book and why Muslim women are not
allowed to do so.
First of all, it is not an honor or a privilege to marry a non-Muslim. It is a
burden and a big responsibility. It is better to abstain from such marriages.
Muslim men who are living in non-Muslim countries in particular should not marry
non-Muslim women. However, man being the head of his household is more capable
to handle the needs and problems of his non-Muslim (Christian or Jewish) wife.
Muslims believe that Moses and Jesus, peace and blessings be upon them all, were
Prophets of Allah and so they give them full honor and respect.
Jews and Christians do not consider Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be
upon him, as the Prophet of Allah. Thus they are unable to give the same respect
and honor to him and to his followers. A Jewish or Christian woman with a Muslim
husband will be in a much better position than a Muslim woman with a Jewish or a
Christian husband. Even then, there are many non-Muslim women who married
outside their faith say that they wish their religion too had forbidden them,
because they know how difficult and hard it is to be the wife of a husband who
has a different faith.
A Muslim woman should know that Allah has really honored her and made it easy
for her by not allowing her to marry a non-Muslim man.
According to the Qur'an, the husband is the head of the household and his wife
should obey him. Allah does not put the Muslim woman in a position that a
non-Muslim becomes her head in her own private life. Allah has spared her to
suffer from being under the authority of a non-Muslim husband.
Please abandon the idea of marrying a non-Muslim, unless he truly accepts Islam.
If you marry a non-Muslim, this will be a major sin. You will be living in sin
and your relationship with that non-Muslim will be illegitimate in the eyes of
Allah. May Allah protect you from all sins, Amen.”
If you have any further comments, please don't hesitate to write back!
Allah Almighty knows best.
