Assalamu Alaikum,

I am writing to you,because I am in a great dilemma or confusion.I am a sunni muslim girl and I am in love with a Hindu Brahmin boy.I want to marry him.But my parents and other relatives are objecting.They say its very sinful marrying a hindu boy.Allah will punish you and you will not be happy since you will face many problems at the society front.
I care a damn about the society,I am just worried about my parents... I just want them to accept me.If I want to be confident enough(proofs),to convince them.My parents keep blackmailing me that,we have done so much for you,how can you even think of this thing... what about our respect in the society and all.My father says if you marry against our wish we will die... I am really in a very painful situation.

I want you to help me in this.Please tell me is it sinful marrying a Hindu boy?According to the documents which are present in your site www.irf.net, what I have understood that actually Hinduism does not support idol worship and its part of Islam... Its the people who are following it in a wrong way... This boy doesn't even believe in idol worship... he is just a Hindu by name... He says I can continue with my worship... He doesn't mind... He doesn't mind If I wear burqa also... He is a very nice guy from heart... He is a very kind,honest and believes more in actions than just praying... He says you do hardwork and you get it... He also says that Islam is a peaceful religion... So please tell me can I marry him?Will Allah punish me if I marry him?If I can marry him,Please tell me how can I convince my parents?

sumia, I have moved your question to the Islam board. Ultimately, the decision has to be yours and your boyfriend's, but I think the religious aspects of your question would be better answered here.

Sumia, Wa'laikum assalam.

I, too, am a Hindu. I can assure you there is no idol worship in hinduism. I also do not believe it is sinful to marry someone you love.

In hinduism, marriage is a spiritual relationship that is made to help each other advance in spiritual life. We also believe that we are worshipping the same God. We just call Him by His name in Sanskrit, Krishna.

I do not believe that God will smite you for marrying him. It sounds as if society is the one doing the judging.

Best of wishes to you.

Thank you for your wishes... But Do u know anyway how we can convince our parents and relatives?

Walikum salaam Sumia,

In Islam,it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a person who is not Muslim.
But if he(your boyfriend) decides to accept Islam, then there is nothing wrong with marring this guy.Otherwise it will be considered as zinnah- which is a great sin. In Islam,It's actually not about loving our parents or ourselves or what we personally believe.We all must love Allah the most and try to please him.We do have some specific rules which must be followed to achieve jannah whether we like it or not and Allah knows the best. Now the decision is completely yours.

It's great that he is a good person and doesn't worship idols, but this is not enough,he must believe in the basic tenets of Islam.

May Allah help you.

All the best.

I am also in love with hindu boy.our love is true and we love deeply each other.he is also a guy just as sumia says.he is worried about that if he changes his religion what society will think of him... everyone will say that he had changed his relegion for a girl... and I am sure that if he gets a chance to get a close look at islam, he will surely change since he had a good personality.but I don't know how to show him islam is right.if he change his religion I have no fear to go with him.otherwise I had a fear that I will be doing a great sin against allah.so *** someone help me to get rid of this tension... ***... ***... ***.

Hey me myself in the self dillema... I mean I am also in love with a hindu guy and m a sunni muslim girl.. I knoe that its sinful accordin to religious people but what is the problem if we follow our religion and the guy follows his religion... *** people pray for such couples and lastly they are also allah's property so why we are restristed to marry them... all the best girl... hope that u'll have a good day.. take care but my humble request don't hurt your parents
I have decided to leave my boyfriend... wish me luck

Hey me too in same dillemma... m thinking that the proportion of inter - religion <3 is increasin... inshallah... we will get our way

Pray 2 raka`ah istikharah, give him a web-page or a book, which explains Allaah, what is Islam and how and why to become muslim. If he accepts, then may Allaah accept from him. If he doesn`t because of fear of people, then Allaah didn`t whish to guide him, and Allaah knows best who deserve to have His mercy.

Religion is for Allaah. So if the people who have knowledge are telling you something, listen. Otherwise you`re just worshiping your desires.

May Allaah bless your good parents, and reward them well, and may He give me and them and you understanding of Deen, and fear of Him. First of all, don`t believe hindus are monotheists. I was a hindu before.
Allaah said in Suurat Al-Baqarah:
221. Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures 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.

In this translation the word `unbeliever` is referring to `mushrik`. Read the Ayah and study it`s explanation, and ask Allaah to make your heart firm upon Faith.

Wa aleikumus-Salaam, sister.

I am also in love with hindu boy from last 5 years and I proposed him. Our love is true and we love deeply each other.he dose not want to changes his religion... but I want to bring him into Islam.I will be doing a great sin against allah.so please help me.

This is a big sin... see if your boyfriend will accepts islam by his heart and not in the way to marry you.. then only you can marry him... a person who only accepts islam by only his heart and fears to allah... then only you can say he is a real muslim... and for that to be happen you had to read quran very carefully and follows it... please my sister don't marry him if he don't accepts islam by his heart... otherwise allah will not forgive you...
Its not like that you both pray there religion... its that the only real religion is islam... so why follow other religion...
And please listen to your parents they are absolutely right...

Hi
I am too a muslim girl and already married with a Hindu boy. Hinduism is a great religion, very accommodating and honoring the sentiments. I have no problem from my inlaws, they like me like their daughter.

Dear you go ahead with marrying that Hindu guy, who loves you. The arrange marriage by your parents with a muslim girl will never make you happy and your future will not be secure, since muslim guys do not treat wives equally and there is a chance of talak any moment. They impose many restrictions on women, keeping them in burqa and self seeking affairs with other girls and indulging in bigamies.
They never allow muslim girls to have equal rights and equal opportunities.

I am proud of my Hindu husband, so caring, so adjusting, never forced me to adopt hindu customs.

Don't waste time, Go ahead.
God bless you always.

I like hinduism I like Hindu culture I want to convert in hindu I believe in hinduism How con I?

How I can be a hindu I accept hindu riligion

ohh dear listen me , and believe me there is no sim , if you are a muslim girl and u love a hindu boy, I want to tell u that allah can't interfere n your life OK because GOD made a only one rule for marry that only girls have right to choose a husband so u have full right to marry with any boy u want OK but GOD say that girls parents have a right for choose a right boy for daughter but only girl have right to accept it or not OK so if u want to marry with your boyfriend so u can do it OK there is no sin in it, I can give u guarantee that alah can't do anything wrong with u dear friend OK but if u want to destroy your life and your boyfriedn life so u can follow your parents decision OK but your parents are really a very stupid because they love their ego, and reputation more than your good life so it's a sin OK your parents will detroy your life so choos e what u want because your parents already lost a all rights at u by forceing u marry with a their choice boy OK dear

I don't know how will allah get angry... honestly I feel like rebuking you...
Hey marriage is meeting of two souls... it just doesn't mean finding a partner(whom society considers good)
Might be true that before decades your generation might not be muslim !
If your forefathers might have changed from hindu to muslim then?
Now answer who are u? A hindu or muslim

Your decision is up to to u... but hey guys you might get a good husband
Bt not your love... then again you would think of your love... the allah will not get angry ?


What would allah support : great love or unjust relations ?
Now answer to me...
Hey I'm facing same problem , I'm a hindu boy in love with muslim girl .And if I would marry only to her... for me my love is more special than my life...
