Marriage to Non Muslim - Contemporary Issues - Bilal Philips

[ThinkLove12]

What if the non Muslim man respects the muslim religion ??

[thulasi145]

i'm loving a muslim man.but i'm a hindu.but we both love truly.what i have to do?

[queenjewels5]

I'm a new Muslim convert. What do I do about waiting for my husband to convert as well? We have been married 15 years now. He is very supportive of my decision thus far. Am I permitted to still learn more about my new faith and stay married? I still have so much to study and learn and don't by any means want to stop learning.

[shoaib4737]

truee

[km10ish]

i have a son can i marry to a muslim man????

[PrincessMiller]

I was looking into converting to Islam but I am concerned for the fact I am married to a Christan man.

[Osamarulx]

The conditions set for muslim man to marry non muslim woman are so strict that it is as though it's forbidden to marry non muslims.

[ohdangitsraisa]

Does it depend on parents? If the parents of the Muslim man do not approve does he automatically have to leave her? Or choose between family and the girl?

[abdulbasithka]

@ohdangitsraisa A true Muslim man wouldn't have that kind of confusion if he is ever in such a situation. Even though Islam gives many rights for parents over their sons, a forcible divorce is not one of them. It's the responsibility of the man to look after his wife in Islam.

[Ariasadeghi]

can a womam marry a converted man? even is his family is not or he is an (converted) european? (for example)

[khalifahklothing]

@Ariasadeghi yes, of course.

[ahasanen87]

what channel did this show on?

[SDARABIC]

Good take by the sheikh.

[Zdrazy]

Bilal Philips is awesome. Cracks me the hell up.

:D

[AbdallahAzzam]

mashallah.. this brother is real good.. salam wr wb

[LostInTheGroove]

Bilal Philips you have such a distorted view of western people... it's sad you're filling the heads of people with this idea of us.

Your show is called "contemporary issues" but your tak on issues is so antiquate. You cannot see everything under the "the man commands to the woman" perspective, it's ridiculous.

And we are not perverts trying to rape your civilisation

[DemiJersey]

A Christian male has not been raised with this principle. And let's be honest: men tend to be bossy. They just are. Christians tend to have this idea of hegemony--they don't have the idea of "no compulsion." Maybe you have to have been married to see the wisdom in this, but what Bilal is saying just makes practical sense.

[DemiJersey]

It's really simple. Anything a Muslim man might require of his Christian or Jewish wife is not going to interfere with her beliefs and practices, true, but there's something much more important here: a Muslim man typically has been taught from birth the principle of "NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION."

[singsomuch]

He said you can't marry a mormon, but mormons do believe in the Bible (KJV) along with their book of mormon as well. Wouldn't the Bible be considered part of the revelation of God? Didn't he say you could marry a Christian or a Jew because because they have part of the revelation of God? Mormons should be on the list it seems.

[scar2188]

why does it bother you what is and what is not on the Islamic list of allowable people to marry? Notice - it is Islam always which decides , notice it is Islam grants the other right to possible be included or not? And it bothers you that Mormons are not included in THAT LIST?

[scar2188]

Who caares!!! Or you are a Muslim who has fallen in love with a Mormon girl? Well, you are not free individul, you don't have a free choice, and "yes" you are not allowed to marry a Mormon girl, regardless of your or her personal happiness

[scar2188]

Go to Muslim clerics and ask them ..and they will not tell : ask what is in your heart..That is where a true GOD resides ..in your heart..No, they will not tell you, they - idiotic men with their 7th centuary mentality - will tell:HARAM, ALLAH commands it -bull...their motivation is not u, it is power of Islam..God loves happy people and does not care about power of that or that religion ..

[scar2188]

As I have mentioned ..this man is a smothy, but primitive...because he is explayning a primitive concept ..old simple concept of domination..Not GOD's principle - That being does not need our help in that department....It is a human principle..which was of extream inportance for a desert dweller as Muhammed was...he cared about that dearly...

[ashlyxoxo1]

now i understand my a women cant marry a non muslim person. i was kinda mad at first but when i watched this i understanded! thanks for posting!

[scar2188]

Wholly cow...is this guy ever good...He has wrapped the obvious ugly point of power and domination of Islam over everything up very nicely, in this case: allowing men to marry a Non-Muslim women but not the other way around ...Good for him. He scores well as the propagandist.

[scar2188]

But the fact is that he is not completely truthful as any Islamic scholar is who tries to fool a Westerner, and especially a Western woman. Since he presents the fact of not allowing a Muslim woman to marry a Non-Muslim as some sort of concern for a woman's being ,to help her to avoid dilemmas in the future. LOL....

[scar2188]

The simple truth is that Islam HAS TO DOMINATE always and everywhere. Period. That is a prime objective, not some concern for some futures dilemmas: to bring pork into the house or to shake man's hand or most important it has no concern for love an individual woman might have. It is not concerned what are her personal desires are..

[scar2188]

That is rubbish to Islam. You are a Muslim, you are part of the army, you will not be allowed to desert it, as in any fighting army - Islam executes the deserters. That is the biggest crime in Islam - not to commit a murder, not that u are a thief, not that u are a liar - but to leave it.

[scar2188]

And this army is fighting for 1400 years already..we the old fuckers sitting in the mosque in Cairo or Mecca are deciding about your life, and not u - obey. you have no freedom to love whoever. we tell you. and that is truth. not this bullshit - bring alcohol, pork etc..

[scar2188]

And if you are Non-Muslim ASHLYXOXO and have been taken by this primitive manipulation then you are a hen, go join the rest of them...don't be upset after though. Remember, you are not getting married, you are joining THE army...and as in any army there are many rules and demands of obedience....But the guy is smooth... Still light weight though..

[muslamah12]

what is so evil about that? there double standard everywhere religion or not get a life.

[themanwhoduped]

Oh yeh! Buddhists are scum!!!!!! Ha ha ha!!!!!

[themanwhoduped]

But you do speak your madness with authority. Such a sweet smooth voice... such reason!!! Ha!! You only fool the foolish.

[themanwhoduped]

You, my friend, show signs of mental illness. In evolutionary psychology you reveal strong trends of being terrified of not knowing you have reproduced your genes. (whereas women are always certain that the child they bear carries their genes). And giving up your resources without genetic advantage. You are so insecure and terrified of being a cuckold you need to control your women with absolute authority. Tie them to the bed I say!!!! Ha!

[iancianc]

bro. Bilal, is there any instance in islam that nikah can be considered haraam? for instance a so called shia brother and a sunni muslim woman!

reply

[mino811]

assalamu alikom..so my question is,what if a non muslim woman is not virgin and she doesn't drink or eat pork and she promised God that she won't be for anyone else but her husband and she even asked the future husband to forgive her past..so is it still the same such marrige is not allowed or what..?

[khalisdar]

Well, first of all a Muslim girl, will never fall under any man for sexual desire. The time man or woman does it, they do not consider Muslim. It is Sahi hadith. they both must face the punishment with 80 slah. Anyway, repentance is between God and servant. Only god forgives who he wish. Is a sinner like to marry her, it is his personal matter.

[LostInTheGroove]

you don't even answer the question. He said she's a non-muslim. Instead of trying to use big words in totally senseless sentences, try to see what's in your heart and not what's been pushed into your head, that's it!!!!

[khalisdar]

As non-Muslim, the time she enter in the fold of Islam willingly, intentionally and by understanding the monotheism (Thouheed). I strongly believe a good Muslim or a Islamic scholar should marry her. Because the time she come to Islam, she become pure and wipe out all the sin. the reason she should be married by true Muslim than she could gain the real peity.

[mohammedhafesji]

This guy is one top speaker, feelin his mannerism and the way he puts ideas into context..

[manrdanejpes]

Why would Bilal Philips think that the Mormons aren´t Christians? They ARE Christians and moreover there are much more similarities between them and Muslims than in any other Christian Church! Bilal, I don´t get it!

[chivitab]

this was very interesting, cuz actually am a christian but i've a muslim boyfriend ;) and i really understood many things through this video

[SKAILIYA]

eggburrito, whether he is black, white,yellow or brown skin colour, Allah is watching your taqwa that lies in your heart. Comparing each other racial issues would never end. We are created under one Creator(Allah) and we are given two choices, heaven or hell. The choice is yours.

[SKAILIYA]

I like him, is he salafi?

[AntiHypocrisy]

yes

[khalisdar]

Every Muslim is Salafi, because the Islam spread thrpugh Salafiayh. After their death we didvide ourselves. So whoever follow Quran and Sunah they are salafi.

[elhadjika]

awesome and understandable

[Toncapone]

eggburrito sry but you sound pretty fucking stupid

[EGGBURRITO]

ISLAM IS a PIG FARM IN DETROIT, BREEDING VIRGINS FOR DEAD SAND NIGGERS

[ka1id]

marshallah pls add more educational vids, ignor these fools why watch if u disagree, u know the truth come join the true religion,

[ilirimajmiri]

ISLAMIC IMPERIALISM!!!

[twnky1]

How dare you say what god can and cant do!

[PissIslam]

i pee on islam

[KamranTatari]

truth is always biter to the false and cowrd people

[ali25t]

Can a Muslim man marry a Christian women whom had sexual relation outside of marriage but converted to Islam willingfully?

[khalifahklothing]

of course, islam erases all sins that came before it.

[snkammar2]

@ali25t

Yes of course cause all her previous sins are forgiven & she gets twice the reward for converting than a born Muslim

[Azizah2008]

awesome video!

[Isla123r]

Yeah your religion. There is no concept of marriage in US and european countries so practically they are nations of bastards born out of wedlock. You cannot expect good from bastards as islam teaches us.

[Dogg1980]

Jesus is Gods Son. We talk through Jesus TO God. Therefore Jesus "is" God. That Dr. is whacked thinking he knows our religion.

[xxoOneLoveoxx]

He does actually, because he was a Christian before he converted to Islam.

[wesandquinn]

nice hat, love the dress

[illuminatika]

VEry nice dress, i guess your refering to Jesus as well and the pope, atleast we got pants from the same people Mr.wesandquinn. :)

[tower4love]

Sex is promoted in the west to expand the poopulation, hard enugh as it is for inbred morons to breed, what else will they teach in nordic places for example, Hitler totaly backed the idea of breeding people.

[4734290]

Not so, bro. The ayat directly following the one in which Muslim are women are directed to marry only other Muslims, Muslim men are directed to do the same. Some people are full of such crap.

[khalifahklothing]

what? it clearly says men can marry people of the book.

[delamotteh]

Welcome hatred ! Pls, go to live in a muslim country yu willbe happier.

[zahara786]

Then go live in one, dont tell us how we will be happy. and dnt beg either by saying plz u dnt sound so ermm wats the word intelligent.. anyhow.. welcome hatred? who hates? oh you. sorry got abit confused..

[Foxgar]

Tbh I don't see any difference between Christianity and Islam, they both have like, no real evidence for them from what I have seen so far - but at least Islam is definitive, the bible is bloody all over the place. The OT is also totally horrible.

[unitone2007]

If you don't want to believe in Islam, you don't have to. But if you want to know the evidence of truthfulness of Islam, read the Quran. For example look at the verses that deal with the scientific phenomenon of the universe. Do they match the current findings of science? If so then it must be from God, since God can't make mistakes about that which he created.

[thedavidwilson]

You are right! Jesus is not dead. He died for three days, went to hell to rescue the lost souls there and rose from the dead. Before he died he did suffer through the torrment of tourture and crucifixion. Through this torrment he has paid for our sins. He has shown us that although we will die physically we will have eternal life in heaven if we beleive in him (have faith) and excerise that beleif with actions (i.e. good works).

[khalifahklothing]

that sounds very pagan-ish. thank you for increasing my faith in Islam.

[thedavidwilson]

No it is Catholic. One of the faiths that Mo stole from to fabricate islam. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.  Good luck on finding your way to Catholic Truth and Light. God Bless.

[zahara786]

May God guide you towards ISlam.. no1 dies and comes back alive. he didnt die and he never did. i agree his body did get crucified but nt his soul. God knew what his enemies had planned for his prophet so God took JEsus soul and put his enemies in his body therefore his enemy got crucified in jesus body..

[keinsz]

Hehe. Muslim male marrying only Christians or Jew women have this fishy underpinning. I have male acquaintances who worked in Dubai and Saudi; and you know what, they screwed MALE Arabs. Yop, Gay male Arab Muslims with their kaffiyeh on. They also lick dick as pros. Hmmm...hypocrisy to the highest order.

[max36maxi]

I dont think he knows any Islam. He is just teaching Muslims to be arrogant. And pride kills.

[thedavidwilson]

Almighty God have mercy on Muslims and on all that bear me evil will an would harm me, and on their faults and mine together, by such easy, tender, merciful means, as your infinite wisdom can devise.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.

[zahara786]

my own prayer:- "Oh Allah, almighty almerciful alforgiving, i bear witness dat der is no God but you and dat Mohammed pbuh is ur last messenger. oh Lord have mercy on us all and on the non-muslims they r hidden from the truth and do nt knw it.

@davidwilson, hw cn god hav a mother? dat wud mean the mother is superior than God? and dat is nt true as God overrules all.. dnt ya think?

[thedavidwilson]

Gob became man (Jesus). Jesus was conceived with the holy spirit within the virgin Mary's womb. God is three persons with the same nature: Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. They are three persons bust with the same nature. Thanks for your questions and please keep learning about the one true faith. Good luck on your journey to the truth and God Bless. If you have more questions please visit fisheaters dot com

[zahara786]

Thankz im learning about THE TRUE FAITH, ISLAM.. and i will carry on. may God guide you and all of us. we say that God is superior than all he is different and no1 knows how he looks, so hw can u knw hes human? so basically ur saying u believe in three gods nt one? cuz u said they r three persons.

[thedavidwilson]

There is one God that is made up of 3 persons who are identical in nature. U and I are 2 persons with different natures. Even if u and I were identical twins we would still have 2 distinct natures (personalities, capabilities, etc.) God the father sent his only son (Jesus) to die for your an my sins so that we may have eternal life. Jesus, the Father (God) and the Holy Spirit are 3 persons but with same nature.

[zahara786]

first thing first i respect you, out of all the ppl ive seen on here even though we have different belives u have ridculed Islam and vice versa.. :-)so RESPECT to you and may GOd Guide you..

[thedavidwilson]

I would suggest a book called Theology For Beginners by a Mr. Sheed. It is a very clear exposition on the Trinity. Let me know if u have anymore questions. God bless you.

[zahara786]

so basically u r saying that God is three persons meaning three different people and therefore God is three. God didnt sent JEsus to die for our sins, Jesus isnt dead, he will be back God just took his soul away so he didnt have to live thru the torment that his enemies had planned for him.. he will be back when time comes close to judgement day..

[thedavidwilson]

Three persons with the same nature. God has one esscence and 3 persons. In other words God is one "what" with 3 "who's". This can be visualized by having a triangle with the 3 who's (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in the verticies of the trinagle. In the middle of the triangle there is the "what" (God). From the "what" (God) there are three lines going out to the verticies or "who's" symbolizing that the 3 "what's" make up one "who" (God).

[sumith890]

Islam is amazing. The only problem is we the weak followers fail to understand and implement it accordingly. Many of us we claim ourselves as a muslim but our activities do not reflect those so others put a negative impression on us and on the religion. May Allah(SWT) guide us on the right path always.

[zahara786]

its true as muslims we should try to put a positive view for others but unfortunatly ppl dnt.. its one of the best ways of giving dawah.. an non-muslims shudnt assume its all muslims dats jus being silly.. bt i get at wat ur saying anyway..

[ricky8813]

As-salaamu 'alaikum - kaifa halukum?

[bininoki]

au nom d' le miseric eux . une soeur palestinie e dit avoir ds sn someil le prophete mohamed paix et benediction sur lui et lui a recomander de passer la salutationau gens celui qui lit se message doit lui aussi le transmetr a 25 perso e et doit atendre 4 jrs avant de vivre un événemen positif mais si ne le transmet pas traversera une période dificile jusqu'au jour de la

[AllahIsForever]

Right now Im a Luthren..and my boyfriend is Muslim. Im gonna marry him, and Im gonna convert, Im gonna be a muslim.

[zahara786]

u say a muslim man can marry a christian or a jew? but dat is the jews and christians who believe in the old testament.he cant marry the christians hu believe in the trinity etc. and yes a woman can only marry a muslim

[monicasteve1987]

no one can pervert a handshake sicko

[MrTizzo]

I did not have time to go through all the comments but I have an issue to raise. If it is possible for a christian lady to change her way of life...drinking and eating pork and exposing oneself, isn't it then possible for a christian man to let his muslim wife practice her beliefs?

[xoxo0092004]

yes this is ok

[MrTizzo]

So this would mean that a christian man can marry a non-muslim so long as he lets her maintain her islamic heritage? That is not possible. A house divided can not stand!

[xoxo0092004]

No, a Christian man cant marry a Muslim woman unless he converts.  It is only allowed the other way around.

[zahara786]

@ Allahisforever.. wowow, you want to become a muslim? MashAllah sister thats really good.. but firstly make sure ur becoming a muslim because u want to and u believe its the truth and nt jus so that u can marry ur bf. thats amazing though, Islam is the way to a peaceful hereafter sister.. if you ever need any advice, help or anything then plz dnt hesitate to contact me inshAllah will be more than happy to be der for a sister. may Allah bless you and guide you.. InshAllah

[checkthis1out]

alhamdulillah, good to see akhi philips on the net. Insha'Allah they get the college going again.

[tarzan542003]

Im always amazed at the childlike examples and the oily smugness of muslim clerics.Its as if they are blessed with haloes and wings and all else is absurd.The most awful inequities and regression,esp. for women are explained away as Allahs will.And the constant derision of other beliefs is unique.The absurdities and contradictions in the Koran are glossed over and voilence and rape justified.The sexual obsession and inferences in teachings is sickening.Excuse me while I barf!!!!

[saadgangat]

this is in response to ur msg, i dont know what religion u follow, "tarzan" haha, but im not to sureu understand what this debate was abt, nor do u have any knowledge of the bases of islam, u may live in india and u may live around or c alotta muslims on a daily bases. buy sadly u do not have any knowledge abt islam, while i will agree with u on 1 part, u do barf!!!

may Allah guide u towards the right path!

[tarzan542003]

Look, I know a lot more about islam than most people .But if to "understand" it if one has to memorise the koran and attend a madrassa...no thanks.I would rather be ignorant.Learn to question and you will be wiser.

[zahara786]

learn to question what? u knw alot bou Islam? plz dnt be silly.. u cant judge that..

[lavieestfolle]

Also, I think the consumption of wine is part of the sacrament for Catholics and Protestants. There's also the "kiss of peace" or pax during Catholic mass, where you shake the hand or kiss the people near you. Although, as an atheist who's not familiar with Christian ceremony, I'm not sure if this is mandatory.

[lavieestfolle]

lmao about western women doing whatever their husbands ask. If you believe this, chances are you're in for a rude awakening if marry one of us. In the united states, at least from my own experience, many women constantly tell their husbands what to do.

[uncharris]

Thank you. Many more questions arise from your response. I would like to further discuss in an easier context. Do you have skype? Thank you. My skype address is "ronaldoha2"

[khalifahklothing]

No, i dont use skype. sometimes msn. it would be best to just use emails. send me a private message.

[zuhi7]

search yusuf estes - very interesting

[uncharris]

Would you kindly provide an authoritative and complete list of the names of profits who were sinless? Thank you.

[khalifahklothing]

Satan whispers thoughts to you and I, sometimes we are strong in faith that it doesn't affect us much, other times we slip. We have free will though, we do not have to commmit those sins, thats why we are held accountable, and on the Day of Judgement we will blame satan, but he will say that he only suggested, he didnt force us into it. And all the prophets were sinless, they did make mistakes though, because they are human, only God is perfect. They do not go against the orders of God.

[uncharris]

So it is Satan, and not us, that makes us sin when we are a baby or become Muslim? Thank you for your time and responses.

[uncharris]

Not sure what you mean - that my question represents a whispering of Satan, or that I am looking for evidence of God bearing our sins when He forgives? Anyway, would you please answer the question. Whow bears the burden when God forgives and what is he evidence?

[uncharris]

I wonder, what are we supposed to do about our sin? Must I do haj to be forgiven? Or just become Muslim? I am a Christian and contrary to Loquen see it at exclusive because we all deserve punishment. Thx

[khalifahklothing]

When someone embraces Islam, they are like a new born baby, sinless and pure. Islam erases all sins that came before it.

[uncharris]

Thank you. How can Allah be completely just if my sin is simply forgiven at no cost? Who will make right the bad things I have done? Plus, how do you know a baby is pure? Don't we need to teach children how to do what is right, not how to do wrong? Does a parent ever intentionally teach a child how to lie? Don't parents usually teach children to tell the truth? Aren't we in essence inclined towards selfishness and twisting the truth even as children?

[khalifahklothing]

You are repenting, and you regret what you did, and you ask Him for forgiveness. Imagine if He didn't forgive you, you would just continue to sin and destroy yourself. And what sin would a new born baby commit while its in the womb? We reject the "original sin". They are born sinless.

[uncharris]

I again ask the question, how can Allah be perfectly just if no punishment is made for my sin. Plus, we both know no man knows what sin a baby would commit. The point is why does a baby first commit sin? Because is it good or evil?

[khalifahklothing]

How would He be perfectly just if we are punished for something we do not know is a sin, and for something we regret doing? If you sin against God, then He either forgives you, or punishes you. But there are sins which the person that your sin harmed need to forgive you, including backbiting, and if someone dies with unpaid debts, if theyre not paid after his death by someone else, then he pays for them with his good deeds.

[uncharris]

Yes, God either forgives us or punishes us for our sins. Is it not true that when God forgives us, or when we forgive another, that the forgiving party bears the burden (forgiveness) or we do (our punishment)? What in Islam shows you without a doubt that God bears the burden that should be yours? Or perhaps there is not forgiveness, but instead payment back to God by payment "for them with [our] good deeds" How does it work?

[khalifahklothing]

And I think you misunderstood me with the baby comment, babies are born sinless, and sinless are those the moment they embrace Islam.

[uncharris]

I think there was no misunderstanding, but I again ask does a baby first sin because it is good or evil? What makes a "sinless" baby sin? I also wonder what made you sin the first time after you accepted Islam?

[khalifahklothing]

The whisperings of satan. All the children of Adam sin (except the prophets), but the best of sinners are those who repent. That is our belief. Satan whispers, but he cannot force you to do anything.

[uncharris]

I wonder, what are we supposed to do about our sin? Must I do haj to be forgiven? Or just become Muslim? I am a Christian and contrary to Loquen see it at exclusive because we all deserve punishment. Thx

[ub1508]

In the Quran it's said that a woman can deny her husband anything that goes against her religion.I was thaught that the reason for a muslim woman not being allowed to marry a non-muslim was the religious upbringing of the children. As far as I know in Islam the burden of this part of the upbring is on the father's shoulder. The father must be a muslim. This is why in muslim countries after a divorce children above the age of 7 are appointed to the father, even when the mother is muslim.

[loquenoseve]

Muslim and Jewish people are in my everyday prayers, I really desire to know your path even more. I have Muslim friends, and we share our experiences, in an environment where respect and empathy are primordial.

I do believe with all my heart that you are going to Eternity along with us. In judgment day, God will look inside our hearts.

May God bless and enlighten us all, wathever faith we have.

[loquenoseve]

I try not to focus on the things that set us appart, but on the huge amount of aspects that bring us together.

There's enough blood and tears irrigating the planet because of all those unleashed haters that call themselves "Christians" or "Muslims".

Here, we feel the sorrow of your people, and our anger gets fueled with the crimes that false believers are inflicting on Muslims.

[loquenoseve]

By understanding them, I can avoid judging them, watching them with prejudice or being sarcastic about something as important as their faith.

I surely won't put these people among Muslims, it would be false, and disrespectful to the real believers that try their best to live their life in a dignifying, decent way.

Sorry if I offended someone, I'm a human like you.

[loquenoseve]

If you go, for example, to any chatroom, and ask women who are the men that look more perverted and bother and disrespect them more, without a doubt, they'll answer: "muslim guys".

Of course, regular people will answer like this or using more tough adjectives, but I am a person that tries to care for knowing at least a little bit about others, so I can understand them.

[loquenoseve]

You point the hipocresy in the Christian community, but your community has the same level of hipocresy than Christians. I personally know (and I'll try not to be as careless as you in my vocabulary) several "SO-CALLED" Muslims that, among other serious sins, have intimacy with women who are not their wifes, then go back to their homeland and play the "stainless man" role in their mosque. performing rituals and laws don't bring you close to God, a clean and true heart do.

[loquenoseve]

"religious christians that openly fornicate"... Very ignorant and inaccurate phrase...

Can't you see the obvious contradiction in that nonsense you said?

A flame that produces cold cannot be a flame, a person that commits this kind of sins cannot be called a Christian. The same with a person that beheads a fellow human or bombs a public place tearing adults and children in pieces, cannot be called a Muslim.

Sinners do not belong to Eternity, light and darkness will never mix.

[khalifahklothing]

I call them religious christians because they preach to me about christianity, and "invite me to jesus christ". and btw in islam, if someone commits a major sin they are still a muslim, they are sinners, but still muslim, open to the punishment. associating partners to God is what nullifies their Islam.

[loquenoseve]

Because of this: "christians that sin 6 days a week, then on sunday they confess, and do it all over again." I can see the level of stupidity, ignorance, and prejudice you have.

You have insulted Christians, you don't know nothing about it.

Maybe that medieval fundamentalist mind of you is not prepared to give advices or opinions.

Watch your mouth, sinless angel...

[khalifahklothing]

yea ok. i said: "like the christians", not like "christianity" or "all christians". and i personally know religious christians that openly fornicate and do everything their religion forbids them, but they say that jesus died for them.

[Utopianwinds]

the Quran also says that the woman may refuse the wishes of her husband, so in the case that a muslim woman marries a christian man, and he asks for pork, alcohol and other things, she has every right to deny him, and since she is an equal partner, she has every right to tell her husband, dont drink, dont smoke, dont eat pork. so really, the rules of Quran should allow marriage between any religion, and there should be no problem.

[kelzio0811]

muslim women should have the right to choose who they marry.women having a "comprimising nature" is merely a socially constructed theory which is not universally applicable.muslim women should stand up for their right to choose and their right to equality in marriage.

[kelzio0811]

the problem with your argument about why muslim men should be able to marry a non muslim but that this doesnt apply to a woman is based on one fictional misconception; that a woman must obey with her husband, "comprimise" was the term used. a woman should never accept dominance from her husband or any other man for that matter just as a man should never accept dominance form his wife, marriage is a partnership of equality, not of master and servant i.e. "get me pork".

Im a christian and my girlfriend is a muslim. I want her to leave islam and convert to cristianity. We have been discussing about this but she is not sure what to do about it.

[tabasca36]

too bad you don't have the gospel of Jesus (PBUH).

[khalifahklothing]

Tell her this: "what you are doing is haram and against the commandment of Allah. Fear Allah and the hellfire, repent and hope for His reward"

[FriedChikkin]

You don't show interest in Islam? I used to be Catholic, before I became Unit. Christian and now Muslim for almost the last 9 years. You beckon her to the hellfire should she accept Jesus as her "Savior" being that Jesus himself would never claim such a blasphemous title.

There is no god but God, Jesus is His Messenger.

[loquenoseve]

My humble opinion is that whatever desicion a person takes in her/his life, should be based on free will, mostly on a case like this, where faith is involved. She should do something because she wants to, not because someone is influencing her or because of "fear" of something.

[loquenoseve]

Also, I don't feel that any relationship based on fear or intimidation is healthy and good. Embracing any faith must involve both heart and mind, you can talk from outside but it is a hugely difficult situation. Fearing hellfire??? I prefer to get close to God by love for Him, never by fear.

[khalifahklothing]

Islam is fear and hope. fear alone does not work, and neither does hope alone. we end up like the christians that sin 6 days a week, then on sunday they confess, and do it all over again.

[loquenoseve]

Well, I guess this person is putting everybody in the same place, talking about Christians like any person that says: I'm Christian is, indeed, Christian.

For a person to be considered as a Christian, this person has to live like a Christian.

I am a Protestant Christian, and I am against pre-marital sex, drinking alcohol, indecent clothing, worshipping images, and many other things other so-called Christians permit.

I don't even eat meat. So pork is disgusting to me as well.

[mustafagtgt]

One would argue that a true Christian would be a muslim. You can see the similarities cant you? : there are black sheeps in every community

[MoslimKid]

That's really great loquenoseve to be true to your faith. We have bad Muslims too. Imam Khalifah mentioned such a case in the beginning of his lecture: The Pakistani guy who eats pork and drinks alcohol. I feel sorry for such people.

[khalifahklothing]

Imam Khalifah?

[MoslimKid]

Sorry, I meant Imam Bilal.

[loquenoseve]

If I marry a woman that does not share my personal faith, I wouldn't try to disrespect her beliefs, or prevent her to worship God in her own way, because that would be disrespecting her as my partner in life. A wife has the same rights as me. And children can be taught faith, but, as adults, they will have their personal choice, of course.

[mustafagtgt]

If you belive in the truth then the fundermentles of you and your partner must be the same to create a greater bond between you and your partner. If you belive in the truth why not pass it on Dont you want to save your partner. Are you being selfish? Obviously not. beliefe is a essential part in ones relation. take it seriously.

[loquenoseve]

We are advised to marry Christian people too, but in the case we are married with a non-Christian person before we accepted Yeshua, then that bond cannot be breaked, and the couple has to keep together.

West, this, west that... I feel some things are not accurate here. Is the same that happens here, talking about muslims like all of them are terrorists supporters, and have a hostile spirit and are against human rights, etc...

[loquenoseve]

This person is clearly portraying a prototype. When he says, as an example, that Christian men agree with indecent clothing, that is not correct. A person who allows this in his/her life cannot be called a Christian.

Do not put everybody in the same place. Bush is not a Christian, as well as Bin Laden is not a Muslim.

Real Christians are virtuous, caring and respectful people. Real Muslims are not terrorists or cruel people as well. This person is not accurate.

[MoslimKid]

He didn't generalize. He only said that a Muslim should make sure that his non-Muslim prospective wife is really virtuous and true to her Jewish or Christian faith. Although rare, there are many people that fit this description.

[loquenoseve]

I hope some other Muslim person talks about this in a more proper and respectful way.

I respect any person's faith and expect the same respect for mine. You included me in that group of "dirty people"

I live my life, like the scriptures teach me to. In a decent, proper way.

I hope you can understand my point.

Sorry for my English, I'm still learning.

Thank you, and may God bless you all.

[mayortube]

What a respect towards christians and jews. Very well explained. Great video !!! Please post more of dr. Philips.

[Muslim2006]

Throw stones on muslims girls who are non virgins and have relation with a non muslim...

[eurotrip789]

I do question this mn slightly

[mustafagtgt]

What are you talking about. He is talking about this particular subject. If you truely love a none muslim this is the requirments of her to be legitimate.
