Interfaith Marriage Between A Muslim Woman And An Atheist Man
As I said, QUranic linguistic tells us the prohibiton even though it donot directly say its prohibited. I gave u example of alcohol. Similarly Quranic language tells us to not marry outside Islam except for women among people of book.
Hello Faisal, thank you for sharing the other threads. I don’t think any of the videos shared in those threads have english subtitles though. Unfortunately, the only language I know is English. But regardless of those videos, I already know Ghamidi’s reasoning. He believes that marriage as an institution was established by god to ensure the passage of Islam from one generation to the next (among other purposes). While it seems likely that Islam promotes family for this purpose, this is only a presumption being made by us, humans. While it is often beneficial to understand the reasoning behind Islamic rules, it is haram for us to invent new ones based on assumptions. When the Quran forbids something, it is clear. If we start inventing rules based on what we presume about the Quran’s intentions, then we’re making the same mistake as the muslims who falsely assumed that they could not go to their spouses on the nights of Ramadan (2:187). The bottom line is that only God has the authority to declare something haram, and based on my understanding of the Quran, there are no verses applicable today that forbid interfaith marriage. If you believe I am incorrect in my understanding, then please read my essay or Dr. Shafti’s essay and let me know where my reasoning is incorrect.
Thank you for your well wishes. I may not have read the Quran in its entirety, but I have read about 250 pages so far. I’ve been studying Islam for about two years in an attempt to convert, but after much struggle and emotional torment, there is still so little reason to believe, and some big things about Islam that I disagree with. I’m done trying to be Muslim I think, and while a world without an afterlife or ultimate justice is a bleak one, it also seems most likely to be true to me.
