True Qur'an allows it.While discussing the matter over the phone Dr. Engineer also said that even our holy prophet Mohammed (pbuh) also had one christian and one Jew wife and they did not convert to Islam even after their marriages.
Those Ulema's are out of their mind. One cannot marry Mushrik. Qur'an says that.He also said that many ulemas consider even Hindus as people of Book as Quran says Allah has sent guides to all mankind.
Thanks for that Insaaf. But what about women marrying outside the religion.Originally posted by S. Insaf:
Dear Laila,
I had copied and sent your request to Dr. Asgar Ali Engineer and his comments are as follows:
"Dear Insaf,
Please forward my reply to our Bohra wrbsite since I do not know how to send it directly.
Dear Laila,
No there is absolutely no need to convert in inter-religious marriage.
Qura’n allows marriage with people of other religions like Christians and Jews and this category can be extended to people of other religions as well.
Marriage is a matter of love and adjustment, not of religion. A genuine marriage or love does not depend on ones religion, but on ones heart.
It is our social prejudices that make us convert the spouse of other religion.

Mmmmmm....Muslims are big on conversions ....thats the general feeling....! But whats the point?! Falling in love with someone doesnt mean one will change the mind set that one has grown up with all ones adult life. So these conversions before marriages are nothing more than a circus !!! I completely agree with Dr. Engineer (if thats indeed him)Originally posted by S. Insaf:

way2wherever,
I am giving respect to my fellows muslims. Even though I consider you to be an Abde Moron, I am reading your posts and responding to them. Isn't that what you want? Or besides being an Abde Moron are you a moron too?
Hello mate everyone has a right to an opinion and the above is just your opinion....actually it sounds more like propoganda to me, to be honest !Anyway thats my opinion !Originally posted by way2heaven:
salam all,
People here on this forum are asking opinion of this person..
Asger Ali Enginner a media stereotype self claimed reformist has been involved in numerous nefarious activites. Pursuing Marxism for years Engineer has on numerous counts been indicted by the law for creating and encouraging disharmony within society.
Excommunicated from the close-knit Dawoodi Bohra community, Engineer has since the last three decades unsuccessfully been involved in so called reformist movment.
Influenced by his Marxist ideologies,Engineer has since years rejected religion. However as to procure publicity and mollah, the social discard has successfully stereotyped himself in the media as an Islamic scholar.His Islamic background has largely been helpful in misleading the media and projecting himself as an Muslim social acivist.
Muslim scholars were agust when Enginner calaimed to reinterpret the Holy Quran a few years back.
Presently under the guise of Social activist, reformist, and to the extend even claimed to be a social scientist, Engineer, monetarily supported by communist forces runs a duboius institute clamining to pursue social and seclar studies.
However not only the community which excommunicated him but Muslims in general regard his views on Islam as absurd. A few examples are his declaraton of the sacred stone placed at the Kabbah, the Hajae-e-Aswad as a mere stone and declared that Allah, the god of Islam has based the religion of Islam on human weakness.
ridiculous n unbelievable too..

Hi Muslim. Thanks for your input. But your response sounds very pedantic to me. Why one rule for man and another for a woman?! How long will we women keep paying for what Eve did ?!Originally posted by Muslim First:

I respectfully disagree with Dr. Asgar Ali Engineers Fatwa regarding Inter-religious marriages.
In Islam any Fatwa (Religious edict) could not go against the Commandments of Qur’an and Sunnah of the Prophet.
Please check out following responses to Marriage in Islam.

How can you have such narrow vision? Can I ask something basic? If God wanted all the human beings on this earth to follow ONLY ISLAM, HE would have had a Prophet in every corner of the earth !!!!! Anyone who preaches superiority of ones faith is defeating the whole purpose of religion !!!! Actually I think religion is man made. Its the brain child of a few wise men who had to resort to involving a supreme being in order to have harmony and peace BEFORE we all KILLED each other !!!!Originally posted by Muslim First:

Ulema's are out of their mind. One cannot marry Mushrik. Qur'an says that.
Many Ulemas also forbid marraige to Shia. You can find Fatwa you like but you have to convince yourself the truth based on Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet SAW.
