Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Need help to get someone back to Islam

Can I marry him if he reverts to Islam?

Salam brothers and sisters

I am a 23 yrs old  muslim  girl living in Florida, I am in love with a guy who was born and raised as a muslim but later he resounded and left this beautiful religion.

When he was growing up he read many books on many religions, he came to a solution that Yes there is a God but he just cant figure out if that God is the God of muslims(Allah), or a jewish god or a christian god, so he left Islma. After falling in love with me he is ready to become a muslim but just for the sake of marriage.

Now i need help in two things.

1) can I marry a guy who is converting  just to marry me.

2) tell me some solid evidence that i can give it to him that Allah is the only creator and God, so that he will convert not only for marriage  but for Allah. Also keep in mind that he is a very scientific type person. he reads like crazy about science and also alllll religions.

Please help me

May Allah bless u all

  1. 1) First of all even after conversion it is likely that he will still be not believe in Allah from inside. And the main point is that Islam interfere each and every aspect of our life. So, Islam will definitely "bother him" if there is no strong conviction. Third point is that, this union is less likely to have blessing as this started with "sin"..

    With all honesty, I suggest you not to go ahead with this idea. Still for your satisfaction,please make salah Istikhara for help may ALLAH help you ,guide you . support you.

    2) Quran is the solid proof there are no proof above that. But my heart says it wont work for him as you said he reads other religion books so he will always compare and there is no way you can make him believe.

    • salam nadia
      i am asking for solid evidence so that he become a muslim for Allah not for me. Surely there are proves other than qraan that is why so many scientists and people from other faith convert to islam everday.
      Another thing sister please dont judge me by just this post, i know my limits and the limits prescribed my my religion and culture. I didnt commited any sin,. I told him on first day that we will never have the relationship of a bf gf and he respects this from heart and never asked for it again.

      stay blessed

  3. Walekumassalam sister.

    Whatever his doubts are, regarding religion, God, Allah, I suggest you watch videos of late 'Sheikh Ahmed Deedat' on youtube. Of all the scholars and speakers I have listened to, He is my personal favourite. He reasons with christians and other non believers int he most technical and scientific approach, mostly based on their own scriptures and not on Quran. Usually, non believers and scientific people have a tendency to challenge everything they don't believe in. And they don't do it to seek knowledge, but to prove others wrong, to put them down. Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, with his extensive knowledge and experience, combines the scriptures to prove that there is one God, Allah (in arabic) and Yehova ( in Hebrew/aramaic) and God ( in english) . But not Jesus (a.s) as God.

    Sometimes, we are not learned enough or knowledgeable enough to answer such people, who are so technical, scientific, and we often fail to convince them. From my personal experience, I started watching such videos, it gave me the knowledge and the way I can approach doubts and questions, raised by anyone, even if it is a family member.

    We learn a lot from such learned scholars who spend major parts of their lives in dawah ( propagating the message ) , and throughout their intense research, our generation has been able to get hands on their work, ready made, and by Allah's grace, with our intellectual ability, we can reason and explain anyone about our beautiful religion Islam.

    Many people focus on propagating Islam and getting converts, reverts, etc. Which is indeed a great thing and can be achieved only by the grace and guidance of Allah (AZW) . But for me, in my personal opinion, it is more important to revive our muslim brothers and sisters, including ourselves, to follow the path of Islam. It is more important to get an astray sheep of the family, back home in all purity and safety. Like they say, 'charity begins at home' . One needs to take initiative. We all have at least one such person we know, in our families or friend circle, who is out of the boundaries prescribed by our faith. And we often find ourselves struggling to explain them, convince them, bring them back to our faith.. For me, such videos of learned scholars and pioneers in debates and public speaking, have helped me a great deal to understand my own religion, and then propagate it to others through graceful reasoning.

    I can name some such speakers, and you can just search them on youtube, you will find millions of videos. Debates are the best way through this. This way you know, and expect, how the non believer reacts, what questions they pose, what is their mentality, their understanding of your answers, etc. Based on that, you can choose your approach, to prove your point, inshaAllah.

    To answer any problem, you must specifically know what the problem is. So ask him, specifically, what's his question, about what particular topic, what's his doubt exactly. Go one at a time. And don't panic if he combines religions, scriptures, etc. The videos have answer to each and every doubt, questions raised. And you will learn a lot from them. inshaAllah. So take up an issue from your love, come back home, read verses from Quran Majeed, related to that issue, watch videos , take days, weeks, till you are confident about answering it. Go back to him. Answer. InshaAllah, this will work.

    But before you even start, I suggest you have yourself watched a dozen videos / debates . This will give you an in-depth knowledge of what agnostics think, what atheists think. It is important to understand their psychology to be able to choose the right approach to answer.

    Some speakers are:

    1. Sheikh Ahmed Deedat ( personal favorite, best of all, funny, witty, yet straight to the point and very convincing)
    2. Shabbir Ally ( best debater I ever heard so far. Amazing reasoning and great knowledge)
    3. Yusuf Estes ( a christian revert, his site has scientific proof of existence of one God)
    4. Nauman Ali Khan ( he focusses on reviving muslim communities more)
    5. Abdur Raheem Green
    And you will find many more as you visit the links....

    Now, Dawah, is important and obligatory for all Muslims. One can never side himself from such responsibility, whether it is towards your family, friends, non believers, anyone. InshaAllah, I pray that he (your bf) understands and accepts clarity in his faith of Islam, that he is guided by Allah (SWT) , that he comes back to the straight path, and both of you are happily married muslim couple very soon, inshaAllah. But incase, God forbid, he is adamant on his agnostic beliefs and doesn't wish to be convinced after all your efforts, and you, in all honesty, don't see any scope of hope in him in this regard, then it is best to distance yourself from him.

    For being married to a pious spouse is mandatory, and also makes the life worth living and beautiful. Just imagine, two of you, performing your duties towards Allah, as husband and wife and as muslims. And Allah showering His blessings upon your nikah, your marriage, your relationship and ally he tests of this life. But if even one of you doesn't believe in His message, then what's the point? There's only discomfort and suffering and no barakah (abundance) in the relationship.

    Also, to your first question, you cannot marry someone who is just converting to Islam for the sake of it. This is according to my basic understanding. Brothers and Sisters on this site will answer you best as per Islamic conditions and rules. Conversion Islam is a formal way of accepting Allah's message. It is a testimony to hold Allah as the only one God and Muhammad as His messenger. If he is converting for the sake of marriage, then he is not meaning it. He becomes a liar in his testimony. And he clearly doesn't believe in abiding by what Islam demands from us, as the servants of our Creator. It also, in other words, insults Islam. So, this, doesn't make sense. Islam, and being a muslim, needs to be earned. And this struggle remains as long as we live. Taking Shahadah is invalid when you don't mean it. It wouldn't be called a shahadah (testimony) anymore, and hence conversion is invalid. Technically, you will married to a non believing man. Which is again not right by all means, and i am sure you would't want that either.

    Remember, to call anyone to our faith, we need to have knowledge. knowledge from Quran, knowledge to speak, knowledge to convince, knowledge to know the difference. Islam strictly emphasises on knowledge. If you know, you can do things, if you don't, you can't do anything. So, read Quran, know what the verses mean.
    "Quran by Yusuf Ali - translation and commentary", is a very good reference that explains verses of Quran in their contexts, which makes ordinary people like you and me, knowledgeable by simple means. You can buy it, it is available on amazon.com as well.

    I am sure this will not be easy for you, but always have faith, when you do something in the cause of Allah, you will automatically receive help from Him. Like Allah Himself says, "you take one step towards me, I will take four towards you in return" So, don't worry while trying to convince your friend. And don't be tensed. InshaAllah, you will have all the help from Allah Himself. At the same time, remember, that only those are guided who Allah wishes to be guided. We can only convey the message, at the max. So, you will also get the wisdom by Allah whether or not you should move ahead in your relationship if you see things are not working as they should.

    I hope i have not offended anyone who reads my comment, and my apologies if I have. It is only my humble effort to be able to contribute in some way and help my brothers and sisters if I can.
    I am not a scholar or an extremely knowledgeable person. My words are merely a reflection of my own personal experiences and I comment only when I feel I can relate to the matter and will be able to help.

    All the very best sister sam21. May you succeed in your efforts.

    Thanks

    your sister in struggle, Ruhool.

    • thank u so much Ruhool, you completely understood what i was trying to say, your comment really helped me. I agree with you that we need to have knowledge, whenever me and him debate on religion i felt bad cos of my ignorance. He is a revert still he knows translation of quranic verses by heart, he gives me examples from quraan and i always feel so ashamed that i cannot defend my religion when i am 200% my religion is right and i always end up getting pissed off and he knows that i cant defend so he just drops the topic to save me from embarrassment cos he is a nice guy and a true gentleman. He does charity work, he loves human being and this plant so much, respects every religion, always always put others before himself. He thinks if he does good deeds in his life and put others before himself then God wont put him in hell on the day of judgement, he says God cannot be that cruel that i make His creature happy and He put me in hell. Sometimes I think why Allah not show such a humanity lover guy the right path.
      I will def check out the speakers you mentioned but if u dont mind can i send u my email address so that i can contact you personally if i need help on some specific topic. Or you can send me links relating existence of Allah
      Its very hard for me,I know if he doesnt convert then I have no choice but to leave him but that would be so hard for me. he actually has accepted that I wont marry him cos I am very religious, but I still have hope that I can revert his faith.
      Please pray for me sister

      • Dear sister.

        Assalamalaykum.

        I am glad my comment helped you to whatever extent it could. As I mentioned earlier, I can relate to the circumstances you are in and can totally imagine the guy's nature and attitude towards the issue on hand. I want you to understand one thing very very clearly. He likes to challenge, and he likes to challenge to win it. So, you must not, at any cost, give in. Even if you don't know the answer, tell him that I shall research on this and will get back to you. Don't get into arguments without knowledge because eventually you will give up. and won't lead anywhere.

        Now onwards, get firm and more firm in the way you respond and hold your beliefs true. Like i said, before entering the examination, prepare yourself well. Go through a dozen of debate videos, against christians, against atheists, against agnostics, listen to them, analyse their psychology and you will know. I am sure he knows the verses, has them by heart, but Alas, he could still not be guided through them, that is Allah's will.

        Being humane to others is a great thing. But absolutely useless if you do not acknowledge your Creator, who made you human in the first place. And it is of no use if one cannot submit to the will of the One, who created him. Allah will keep helping him as long as he is in this world. But after death, on the judgement day, Allah will ask, "why didn't you believe in me even after I sent you so many signs" ? And then, his good deeds towards others might not be of help.

        I appreciate his soft nature and his humanity. but along with this, if He is a true muslim, then nothing like it. He could be one of the most loved by Allah, inshaAllah.

        And you, dear sister, you must not get tensed when you both are into a debate. You must answer in the name of Allah, and constantly ask for help from the back of your mind, from Allah. Words will automatically come out of your mouth, in your favour. inshaAllah. And learn how to make your point, learn how to stick to it, learn how to give examples. Don't leave scope for him to crossfire you, cross question you, and don't at all be vulnerable in your speech. Coz if he knows your weakness in knowledge, in speech, he will pounce on you more leaving you speechless.

        Moreover, while explaining him, arguing, argue in the most graceful way. Polite yet assertive. And you will have to forget that you are talking to someone who you love, someone you are fond of. No. The only thing you need to remember while performing dawah, or while defending your faith is, you are speaking for Allah, you are speaking for His commands, you are speaking for His beloved prophets and His entire Creation. Just remember this, and you will be stronger. Even when I argue, with my family members, or my husband, in the matters of religion, I only remember that I need to speak the truth, of which I have knowledge by the grace of Allah. At the same time, if i don't know something, I will not utter a word and will ask for time. And I won't go to the extent of insulting or offending anyone listening to me. One needs to be careful of many things while calling someone towards our faith. We must not do or say something that will repulse them, yet be able to convince them with knowledge and examples, inshaAllah.

        Your friend is the kind of person who have gained knowledge not to know the truth, but to challenge everything he learns. This is his basic nature. may it be religion or something else. If he knows something, he feels he can challenge facts about it, especially to others who don't hold half of his knowledge of the subject. I am sure he is a great human being, but even good people have traces of arrogance in them when it comes to knowledge. So sister, you learn, and use your knowledge humbly, yet firmly. Confidently. And things will be fine, and you will see what decisions you need to make. When you don't agree with him on something, you must say it aloud that you don't agree with it. When you can't believe in something, you need be loud about it that you cannot believe it. If you be silent, sometimes, it shows you are weak on your stand and susceptible to agreeing with the false. Don't.

        Clear your head off all other things you feel you are obliged to.

        You are only obliged to Allah (SWT) for He created you and bestowed upon you His mercy, and obliged to your family, your parents for going through the pains of upbringing you. Don't feel that you are obliged to anyone when it comes to your faith. The matters between you and Allah, no one can come in between, and you can stand tall with head high, proudly, on your beliefs. And this must reflect in your attitude when you are trying to convince someone about it.

        Your confidence in your knowledge and truth, must shake other person's beliefs. He must start reconsidering his own thoughts about religion. Your confidence should make others doubt about their own opinions on faith.

        Sister, I would have loved to exchange personal emails with you, and help you in this effort, but i am not sure if the site administrators here allow us to exchange emails. If they do, I will be more than glad to do that.

        *Dear site ediotrs/administrators, if you are reading this, please help us, two sisters , to get in touch in this matter. We want to converse further and be there for each other in this issue. Let us know, how is it that we can exchange our emails.*

        Rest all, be strong, and spend a lot of time gaining knowledge. InshaAllah things will turn out just right for you. Following are some links for you to go through...

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEmCZ968PQI

        and then you can explore more through these links...

        Also, never ever just send away the links to him and ask him to read them. Any proof may it be. You yourself read it, learn through it, understand the argument, and you present to him in your own words, convincing him, or at least putting him in his own doubts about his own theories.
        Because, through personal experience, if we send them links and expect them to believe, they will never believe. Coz when they are reading the links, they are alone, and they are adamant to stick to their own belief, even if they find what they are reading is true and it makes sense. Out of arrogance, they will still not believe it and will find ways to find faults with it.

        On the other hand, if you go through these links, understand them, and then present it to them through your words, face to face, he cannot escape the facts. He cannot be on his own to still not believe it. He cannot find faults with other person presenting facts. Saying things personally have more effect than sending the links and leaving it upto him to read and believe. In most cases, they don't believe, as they are alone and they have the liberty to decide. Infact, they don't want to see or read something which will prove them wrong. A verbal debate and gracious argument is more effective. Atleast you can prove things. And that's important. To prove his theories wrong. So that he is forced to revisit the theories he developed. And rethink over his decision of leaving Islam.

        Don't worry, give your shot.

        I shall remember you in prayers. and request you the same for me and my family.

        All the best.
        Take care

        Thanks
        your sister in struggle, Ruhool.

          • Abdi, see if you can get someone from your local masjid who has good religious knowledge who can talk to the boy. The most important thing to emphasize is tawheed. This is the core of our faith.

  4. Salam dear sister;
    i can answer to your first question. you cant marry him of he converts to islam only because of you; it must be for the sake of Allah; if he converts for you he will never be religious.,and you will have many problems.
    it is a matter of time when he will tell you that he doesnt want to be muslim anymore. i advice you sister to leave him and to search for a guy who is good muslim, who will love you and make you happy in this life and afterlife as well.btw; person who is not muslim might lead you to make a sin; even to the extent to make you become non muslim, estagfirullah. take care ,sister

    • Thanks a lot jaci for answering and for your advice. I know there will be so many problems marring a guy who converted just for me that is why i am also asking for links and evidence so that I can bring him back to Islam.
      Please pray for me

  5. Salaam,

    The sad thing that this ummah is facing is people not caring about the teaching of our guide and leader, Muhammad (SAW). This leads to nothing but a wretched and miserable life.

    The Prophet(SAW) asked us when choosing a spouse, choose someone who has deen and that would be the most beneficial. It is very sad that people would say that they can fall in love with people without deen and then try to convince themselves that they have some right to marry them.

    • salam yoda
      when i fell for him I didnt know he was not a muslim cos he has a muslim name and i know his family who are all muslims.
      He reverted but didnt tell anyone to save his family from bad name cos he is afraid that people would judge his parents because of his actions.
      I only come to know about his faith when things got serious between us, then he told me about his religion cos I deserved the truth and left the decision on me whether to accept him or not

      • I am not sure how you fell for him. Was it a proposal from his part? If it was then his deen would be the first thing you should have inquired about.
        If it was not a proposal, then the relation is haram.
        Anyway, he is not muslim and not even planning to be one. He asked you to accept as he is. A muslim woman is not allowed to marry a non-muslim man. You should stop there.
        You also have no right talking to him even if it is under the excuse of calling him to Islam. He is not your problem.

  6. don't chance dunya
    look for someone who will be there for you for your religion in this life and the hereafter

    • thanks a lot nadia. i read it, and its really nice. I read the articles related to it which are also very nice

      • Salamaoualaykoum Sister sam21,

        Im from holland, sorry if my english is not that very good.
        But i got the same problem but with a girl.
        Im about 3 years in love with her and she didnt know it and she wasnt a muslima.
        I know her life story since i felt in love, she never had a real father.
        She was borned without planning by her mom cuz the guy who made her mom prengnant left when he heard the fact that she was pregnant. Her mother take care of her but on a wrong we she is treading her like a best friend. Her grandparents take care of her but they are very old and that girl is real insicure without her grandparents. And i cant stay to see her live like that cus she have no.idea how she is gone end, so i wanted to help her. One day i told her i was in love with her and she went straight en asked me; do i got to be muslim to marry you and i said yes and she acept the fact. We kept our relationship secret till a few months by telling her what the islam really is she seems verry intrester so i stept to my mother and asked her for help. My mom meeted the girl without twlling me and she talked with the girl. The girl was realy happy about the conversation with my mom and decides to covert while my mom helping her. My mom called a person who helps girls convert the girl made the shada and cried from happienes. She studied 10 monts hard about the islamwhile she was in so much presure. Her mother couldent see her daughter in that position and i pushed the girl to, to tell her mam that shes muslim. That was wrong from me. She started to get scared thats she lose everything and till this day she left in a minute me and the religion. She is convincing that she never believed and she did it for me. I cant belive it cuz she always call me wen its time to pray and she knows manny sourahs and duha. That makes me not to believe. I just want her back in out religion and save her future cuz shes a good person and dont want to harm no one. Im in a hard time right now i didnt eat for 4 days now. I cant stand to see this girl without the islam, she left everything to make it her self easier. I just want to know how you dealed with it and help me cuz i really feel you sister im in the same situation. I hope you respond as soon as posible at this comment cuz i pray more and more for this girl i junt dont want to see her in jehanem i wanna end with her in jenna so i hope allah would help me from this terrible situation and guid the girl back to the islam and marry cuz im hopelles at this point.

        May allah bless you

  7. Assalamualikum
    In the Name of Allaah, the All-Mercifu
    In my openion you should marry if he agree on these:
    1. He accept Islam by heart.
    2. He will not change his religion.
    3. HE will study the Quran.
    4. will obey all Islamic rules and obligations in his life.

    Check his life history, if he is liar and broke his agreements and promises. Then never trust him.

    Your parents should know the situation and if they disagree u should not marry.

    As a scientific proof check this documentary, it may help:

    Tawheed:
    Power, or the ability for things to actuate or occur, exists and requires an explanation for why it exists. Why is it that things occur, rather than nothing occur? Why does 'energy' exist? Note that, strictly speaking, energy does not exist in its own right. Energy is rather a general term used in reference to things such as movement, light, heat and sound. All of these forms of energy are motion at heart, and thereby pertain to matter. There cannot be motion without something that actually moves. What we perceive as light for example, is the motion of photons, and sound, the vibrations of matter, such as molecules of air. On Big Bang cosmology, the first energy seems to have come into being in the expansion, hence creation, of 'space'. This caused heat energy. Everything else, including all the physical forces, universal laws and luminous matter, came into being because of this initial expansion. But why did the Big Bang expansion occur in the first place? What was the source of this motion, which seems to have preceded all other motion? Why is there motion at all? It seems clear that there must be a Necessarily Existing source of power and motion, Who caused the Big Bang expansion, Who is Cause of all motion, Who actuates all states of affair, and Who has simply always existed. (1)

    Now, that Necessarily Existing Being either possesses power as part of His own Essence, or He derives limited power from some external source. But if He derives limited power from some external source, He would not be a God, but something less than a God. If power were not part of His Essence, the question would arise, “Where, or from whom does He get His power?” If He does derive power from some other being, then that being would probably be a better candidate for being God.

    Thus, power must be essential to Allah’s Being – part of His very Essence. In which case, we may say that Allah possesses Absolute Power (al-Qadir). Why must He possess ‘Absolute Power’? If power is part of Allah’s Essence, Allah has to be totally free of any weakness or limitation. Impotence or limitation, the opposite of power, cannot impose upon or form part of Allah’s Essence because the union of opposites is absurd. A being cannot be both essentially powerful and limited at the same time. Thus, a being that possesses essential power must be absolutely powerful. Now, if Allah possesses Absolute Power, what room for other deities? By necessity of reason, there can only be a single possessor of Absolute Power. Since Allah is the sole possessor of essential Power, He must be the sole God in existence.

    As Said Nursi says, in Huccetuz Zehra (The Shining Proof);

    “…Divine power is such that it is powerful over all things, encompasses all things, is essential to the Necessarily Existent One, and according to logic, is ‘necessary’ to Him; it is impossible that it should be separated from Him; there is no possibility that it could be. Since the Most Pure and Holy Essence possesses such necessary power, impotence, its opposite, could certainly in no way intervene in it. Impotence could not impinge on the All-Powerful Essence. Since the existence of degrees in a thing occurs through the intervention of its opposite – for example, the degrees and levels of heat occur through the intervention of cold, and the degrees of beauty, through the intervention of ugliness – impotence, the opposite of this essential power, can in no way approach it; there is no possibility whatsoever that it could. There can be no degrees in that absolute power.” (Nursi 1998, p.624)

    Why can’t there be two or more deities that all equally possess essential power? Recall that the key characteristic of essential power is that limitation can in no way encroach on it. If any other beings existed, deities or otherwise, that possessed any real power at all, they would represent an encroachment upon Allah’s Power. If, hypothetically, two beings with essential power existed, each would act as a limiting force upon the other. Yet this is paradoxical, because limitation or weakness cannot encroach on essential power, since the union of opposites is absurd.

    Therefore, Allah does not derive power from elsewhere, but possesses essential power.
    Allah is the sole possessor of real power and is the only God in existence.

    In Quran Surae Mulk Allah say thah:
    [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving -[And] who created seven heavens in layers.
    You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
    And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

    “And if you were to ask them: ‘Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?’ they will surely reply: ‘Allaah.’ How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?”

    [al-‘Ankaboot 29:61]

    “And if you were to ask them: ‘Who sends down water (rain) from the sky, and gives life therewith to the earth after its death?’ they will surely reply: ‘Allaah.’ Say: ‘All the praises and thanks be to Allaah!’ Nay, most of them have no sense”

    [al-‘Ankaboot 29:63]

    “And if you ask them who created them, they will surely say: ‘Allaah.’ How then are they turned away (from the worship of Allaah Who created them)?”

    [al-Zukhruf 43:87]

    “There is nothing like Him, and He is the All‑Hearer, the All‑Seer”

    [al-Shoora 42:11]
