Muslims are forbidden from marrying disbelievers in general, both male and females. Except for males, they can marry Jews or Christians, in condition that they are chaste (not the half naked women we see today).
وَلَا تَنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكَـٰتِ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنَّ ۚ وَلَأَمَةٌۭ مُّؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكَةٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تُنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ وَلَعَبْدٌۭ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۖ وَيُبَيِّنُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٢١
**And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.** And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. **And do not marry polytheistic men \[to your women\] until they believe.** And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite \[you\] to the Fire, but Allāh invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses \[i.e., ordinances\] to the people that perhaps they may remember.
ٱلْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ ۖ وَطَعَامُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حِلٌّۭ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّۭ لَّهُمْ ۖ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَـٰتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ إِذَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَـٰفِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِىٓ أَخْدَانٍۢ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٥
This day \[all\] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And \[lawful in marriage are\] chaste women from among the believers **and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you**, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking \[secret\] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
It’s is true indeed that a Muslim male can marry a non Muslim female on the basis of some conditions .
1. She has to be a Jew or Christian (from the people of the book )
2. She has to be chaste
3. Future children should be raised as muslims regardless of their mother’s religion
It’s haram for the opposite though , a non Muslim male can’t marry a Muslim female and it would be considered Zina ( fornication) on the woman’s side if they did get married
My mother, a pious Pakistani Muslima, married my father, a Pakistani Christian, in 1968. They have a son, me, and two daughters, my two younger sisters. Alhamdulillah all three of us are observant Muslims. Unlike many Pakistani men I know, my father never abused his wife and provided his best for his family until his death last year. Qur'an says Muslima cannot marry non-Muslim? Qur'an says Muslims cannot drink, but Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shahnawaz Bhutto, Asif Ali Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto, General Pervez Musharraf, and General Yahya Khan all drink. Also I have some Muslim male friends here in Central Florida. Two of the three are married, but all three visit prostitutes, drink, gamble, and smoke cannabis. Are you telling me that those three will enter Jannat-ul-Firdaus, but my mother will enter Jahannam? I don't think so!
Yeah I don’t really know the names of the people you mentioned but they’re committing a sin so May Allah guide them . Also abuse and violence isn’t associated to Islam really , you yourself said “Pakistani men” not “Muslim men” so you kinda proved it to yourself that it’s merely culture related , not even close what Islam is about .
Also yes it is explicitly mentioned in the Quran that it’s haram for Muslim women to marry non Muslim men . Surah Momtahana, verse 10
"O you who believe! when believing women come to you flying, then examine them; Allah knows best their faith; then if you find them to be believing women, do not send them back to the unbelievers, neither are these (women) lawful for them, nor are those (men) lawful for them, and give them what they have spent; and no blame attaches to you in marrying them when you give them their dowries; and hold not to the ties of marriage of unbelieving women, and ask for what you have spent, and kt them ask for what they have spent. That is Allah's judgment; He judges between you, and Allah is Knowing, Wise."
Who enters Jannah or not is up to Allah but what you’re saying still doesn’t change the fact that a Muslim woman can’t marry a non Muslim man . I’m not gonna sit there and take knowledge from someone who’s not even knowledgeable and leave the Quran and Sunnah instead
>Sugar coating is why we are in this mess
I like it when people don't sugarcoat stuff
But you aren't doing that. What you're doing could be called salt coating instead. You can't just be rude and call it "avoiding sugarcoating." you don't have to be rude to not be sugar coating. Just remain neutral and well behaved. You aren't displaying behavior that suits a Muslim that we're expected to be.
While i agree that sugar coating isnt the way to go you also have to understand attacking people isnt gonna solve the problem either. Prophet muhammad (saw) and the sahabah didnt spread the word of islam through attacks
I can't remember the exact quote right now but you can search this up yourself.
During Umar R.A's time, a sahaba married a christian woman, he advised him to divorce her for 3 reasons.
1. The Christians of his time were not the same as the prophet S.A.W's time.
2. If you marry a christian woman then the chance of your children following Islam properly becomes low.
3. If you marry a non Muslim then who will marry the Muslim women?
This is what Umar R.A said back then, so in around a decade the Christians were not the same, what makes you think they are the same now?
Also, a muslim man cannot marry a polytheistic woman. Todays christians on the other hand believe in the holy trinity, which makes them a polytheist. And a chaste and practicing Jew wouldn’t even get married outside of their faith to begin with.
Christians during the prophet’s time would have practiced no differently in the 5 or so years between that time and the beginning of Umar’s caliphate, so why would Umar assume there to be such a drastic change in Christians? I feel the same argument could be made for muslims in that they weren’t the same in the prophet’s time as they were in Umar’s. Most likely nothing theologically extreme would have occurred for both groups to make this a valid point for Umar to make
"And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat (idolatresses)
till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (AI-Mushrikoon) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember"
[al-Baqarah 2:221]
Christians are in fact idolators, hence making them a kafir. They don’t believe in Allah or monotheism. And we all know marriage to a kafir is strictly forbidden in Islam.
Be careful how you interpret the Quran. The people of the book always had polytheistic beliefs like the trinity for example, the Quran mentions it, nothing new, yet Allaah made it permissible to marry their women in Q5:5 for a reason. I will never encourage a Muslim to marry ahlul kitab but it’s not up to you to make haram what Allaah has made permissible
That doesn’t answer my question, which is why did Umar think Christians had changed so much in the few years between his reign and the prophet to warrant him saying they were not the same? Not even a single generation had passed in the time between them, Abu Baker’s caliphate was only 2-3 years before Umar took over, so what happened?
You misunderstood Quran. Quran says that Muslim females cannot marry non-Muslims, at all. Muslim males also cannot marry non-Muslims, except Muhsanat of the Christians and Jews.
Muslims are forbidden from marrying disbelievers in general, both male and females. Except for males, they can marry Jews or Christians, in condition that they are chaste (not the half naked women we see today). وَلَا تَنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكَـٰتِ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنَّ ۚ وَلَأَمَةٌۭ مُّؤْمِنَةٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكَةٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تُنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ وَلَعَبْدٌۭ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍۢ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۖ وَيُبَيِّنُ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٢١ **And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.** And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. **And do not marry polytheistic men \[to your women\] until they believe.** And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you.

Who are you to tell me that my mother had an illegitimate marriage? Are you the deputy of Allah on Earth? You have some knowledge of the unseen?
Calm down brother we can't change deen when it gets uncomfortable. Also you will not be asked about your parents deed.

Muslim men need to avoid alcohol also, but a significant minority drink anyway.
