An Anguished Mothers Plea

Lately we have been reading a lot about Muslims girls Marrying non-Muslims and before some naïve and
foolish Muslims think that it is a bed of roses and decide to run away with their non-Muslim boyfriends,
allow me to put the proper picture in focus.
I am married to a non-Muslim because I thought I knew
better than my parents. I am speaking from personal
experience and I can tell u that marrying a non-Muslim
was the greatest regret of my life because it is definitely
not a bed of roses.
In fact it is a bed of quarrels, heartaches, misery,
alcohol, idolworship, anti-islamic propaganda and hell
on earth.
I know now that it is much wiser if people married in
their own religion. The chances of happiness are
greater.
When I was young, I was naïve and I thought “what
difference does it make whether one married a
Muslim or a non-Muslim as long as you love the
guy-that’s all that matters”. But how wrong I was!
As soon as the honeymoon was over the problems
started. My husband knew nothing about bodily
cleanliness. Before he prays he would consume alcohol
and this was detestable to me as alcohol is forbidden in
Islam.
When our children were born we had a big fight
about their names and their religious instructions.
The poor children were so confused; they did not
know what they were.
My husband always drank at night and vomited in bed
and I have to clean up the mess afterwards. Every
opportunity my husband got he would run down my
religion. I cursed the day I was born.
Muslim girls today are very naive; they don’t realize
the misery and heartaches they can cause to themselves
and their families by flirting with and marrying non-
Muslims.
Most of these men are very sweet and know how to
flatter and chat up a girl, but once they have got what

they want they treat u like a prostitute and ridicule you
in front of your own children.
My earnest appeal to all Muslim girls is that although I
made a mistake and destroyed my life, I beg every one
of you not to make the same mistake and throw away
your life.
When almighty Allah prohibited Muslim women
from marrying non-Muslims he had good reasons,
for he knew that such a marriage would bring untold
sufferings and destroy a person’s chance of happiness.
I appeal to every Muslim girl not to throw away her life
by marrying a non-Muslim; it is a bed of misery till the
end.
You and your children will suffer untold hardships and
in the end your will find yourself alone and lost in the
street because he has caught another Muslim girl for a
sucker.
Although my life is over, I am now living with my
children –to bring them up as respectable Muslims and
make them appreciate their beautiful religion of Islam.
It took me ten years of suffering to realize and
appreciate how beautiful is the Islamic way of life and
it is a tragedy to read how young people today are
prepared to sacrifice Islam for a little bit of sweet
flattery.
My humble appeal to al the molvisahebs, sheiks,
teachers, aapas, parents and Muslim organizations is
that you must make greater efforts to teach young
Muslim girls about the beautiful teachings of Islam as
contained in the holy Qur’an. Otherwise more girls will
suffer the same fate.
If my letter can save one Muslim girl from misery and
sufferings then I feel my suffering has not been in vain.

Marriage is the most intimate Islam forbids any kind of

communion, and the mystery of sex
finds its highest fulfillment when
intimate spiritual harmony is
combined with the physical link. If
religion is at all a real influence in
life to both parties or to either party, a
difference is this vital mater must
affect the lives of both more
profoundly than differences of
BIRTH, RACE, LANGUAGE, OR
POSITION IN LIFE. It is therefore
only right that the parties to be
married should have the same
spiritual outlook. If two persons love
each other, their outlook in the
highest things of life must be the
same. Note THAT RELIGION IS
NOT HERE A MERE LABEL OR
A MATTER OF CUSTOM OR
BIRTH. The two persons may have
been born in different religions, but
if, by their mutual influence, they
come to see the truth in the same
way, they must openly accept the
same rites and the same social
brotherhood. OTHERWISE THE
POSITION WILL BECOME
IMPOSSIBLE, INDIVIDUALLY
AND SOCIALLY.

Therefore Muslim men are
forbidden to marry Mushrik

woman should not marry a
non-Muslim man, unless he
is reverted.
