Is this wrong for my mother to think like > this or an I wrong for wanting to get to know him better? > > I would also like to know if it is harom that his mom didn't > convert after the marriage although her children were raised the > Muslim way and she never pressured her religion on them. > > If it is okay for me to want to talk to him, how should I go about > getting my mom to give him a chance? |

| all I can say is that if he follows islam and he is a good person, you won't lose anything to get to know him on a marriage level. About your mother.......I am not sure the proper way to have her see that it would be okay for you to talk to him except explain to her that he follows islam and is a muslim himself....even if his mother isn't..... Sorry can't help much, just can put in my thoughts sis sunnah_ |

| as-salaamu alaikum The fact that his mother isn't a Muslim is independent of whether he is Muslim or not. Its only in the Jewish religion (i think) that ther eis something similar to this whereby, one can only be a Jew if one's mother is Jewish. If the guy is openly a Muslim, e.g. he believes in the oneness of Allah and prays, etc. then he is a Muslim. Does he pray in mosques and stuff? |

| [slm]He is not respnsible for his mother's not being Muslem or what ever. A person might not be MUSLEM even just because his parents are muslems. so if a person can be non muslem by abandoning the SALAT regardless of his parents belonging to the islamic society then a person also would not be non muslem if he takes the different direction his parents are .so what makes us muslem or not is not our lineage but our duty and obedeince to ALLAH'S command If you mean by he is muslem not only belonging to a muslem father but practcing the islam (praying punctually .fasting.etc and If he is doing his best as righteous muslem so far this qulifies him as a good muslem in term of religion, however, there are certain other characteristics you may need to know and that can be reached through men from your side for such mission. so endorse the issue to your guardian and let them talk about it with him What ALLAH wills is the best after that |
