i was discussing this topic with sum friends of mine who had married ppl of different origins(but same religion ofcourse) 2 theirs, wat do u ppl think of ppl getting married 2 cum1 wit a different cultural background n origin 2 urs. :confused:
there was a bro in the ummah chat room who was an Arab himself and he was marryn a Pakistani girl. ok so mixed cultural marriages might b difficult, but wat marriage is easy?! :rolleyes:
marriage is all about lookn for the right person, so one might need 2 venture outside of the 'nest'. i think tht mixed cultural marriages wud help ppl understand each other better...to become more aware of other cultures. ok u can do tht without marrying some 1 of a diff culture, i know, but as far as my opinoin goes, i think its sweeeeeeet!
:D

Illusionz, the reason why people get married with the same culture is the fact they know what the people will be in for. People tend to stick to their own kind, its simple psychology.

Assalamu alaikum dear Muslim brothers and sisters / Peace to the nice non-Muslims,
I think Muslims from different backgrounds should intermarry and thankfully quite a few do (but still not enough).
My own parents did. My mum's Pakistani and my Dad's Yemeni and they've been very happy Masha'Allah and Alhamdulillah. They've brought us up to see ourselves as Muslims first and not as Pakistanis or Yemenis/Arabs.
As I've sometimes mentioned in other posts, I do have some attachment to the countries of my origin and to the country of my birth & upbringing (Britain). But, I'm a Muslim first, second and third and I love all my Muslim brethren the same, whichever part of the world they hail from. I don't favour one Muslim over another because he comes from a country I have ties with. That is the real beauty of our faith: heterogeneity and unity in diversity.
But nowadays we get some Muslims marrying Kuffar women from all parts of the world and they claim it's ok cos they're supposedly 'People of the Book' but they're wouldn't marry a Muslim man or woman from another country! How strange!
So how's the love between the Ummah gonna grow if people give in to petty differences and parochialism like that?
Do you know that the most popular brides in the Emirates are Kuffar Indian and Kuffar Russian women? The reasons for it are complex and include the expensive nature of marrying UAE brides but nevertheless these Kuffar women's families are killing Muslims in occupied Kashmir and occupied Chechnya. So where's the Islamic ghira'? Allahu alim.
Despite this you do see quite a few marriages with Muslims from different backgrounds. Our Shaheed brother in Chechnya, Khattab was half-Turkish (his mother). Khattab himself married a Muslimah from Dagestan. Crown Prince Hassan of Jordan's married to a Pakistani Muslimah.
Benazir Bhutto is half Iranian, a quarter Pakistani and a quarter Indian. Her brother Murtaza (who was killed a few years ago) was married to a Lebanese Muslimah, Ghinwa. His other brother was married to an Afghan Muslimah, Rehana.
Imran Khan's case is well known. His wife Jemima's an English revert who was formerly 3/4 Christian and 1/4 Jewish. Even the Saudis (not always known for venturing outside the Jazeera) have intemarried with Muslims of other backgrounds. King Faisal was married to a Turkish Muslimah, others have various wives from different countries including black Muslimahs from Sudan.
One of my of closest friends is born to a Pakistani mother and a Japanese revert father. She can speak fluent Urdu, Pashto, Japanese, Malay, English and Arabic. She herself is born and brought up in Malaysia (now that's a melting pot!).
I also know many brothers and sisters of various origins married to 'reverts' of all races and backgrounds. Yousuf Islam is married to a Pakistani Muslimah, as is Shaikh Faisal. My brother's best friend was a French revert brother married to a Somali sister.
We know of several Yemeni and Jordanian brothers married to Muslimahs from Pakistan. My family knows a few Egyptian brothers married to Muslimahs from Indonesia and Bangladesh. I know several Turkish Muslimahs married to Pakistani brothers.
I think Muslims living in the West will increasingly intermarry with each generation, Insha'Allah. It's often less the case in Muslim countries. I think the reason many don't intermarry is cos' they're lazy to make the effort to learn another language/culture etc. Also, many Muslims marry within their clans, cousins’ etc. to cement family alliances/ties etc.
Of course, you'll always get the occasional people who won't do so out of arrogance and ethnic pride (the 'I'm too good cos' I'm Saudi, Pakistani or Turkish' school of thought) but these are in a minority. Practising Muslims don't think like this Insha'Allah.
I personally don't mind marrying a Muslim from any country providing that he's a good Muslim and is of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a (although I will have to like him too ;) ).

take it from a brother who knows, and Allah knows best
marriage between cultures can be interesting and fun
and it can be a great fitnah
and it is usually based upon a person's adherence to quran and sunnah

Masha'Allah words of hikma brother.
Btw, which continent was involved (if you don't mind my asking)?
And fitna in terms of language, food, culture etc. or perhaps objections from kin, adjusting and so forth...? Prolly a multitude I imagine. Perhaps my parents have been more fortunate...
Neverthelss absolutely sahih. The thing that matters is for the person to be pious and to follow Kitab and Sunnah.
The criterion should be as Allah SWT revealed in the Noble Qur'an:
"And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses) till they believe (worship Allah alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes his Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember." (Al Baqara, 2:221)

intercultureal marriages are great.I am the product of one.My mother is 100% Italian(Sicilian) and my father is mostly Syrian with alittle bit of Pakistani.Interesting combo uh?
Well...I love being multicultural.I like learning about my mother's culture and learning about my father's.They are both soo different and soo interesting.I think it also makes me a better person because I am not prejudice and I see people more for who they are rather than "what" they are.

...like Allah said in the Qur'an we are all created equally. The only way a person differs is by their amount of taqwa or iman. Besides that petty differences such as cultural background really shouldn't matter. True their would be conflicts of interest, but that's with anyone. Even people of the same culture. I don't think Allah put us here to carry on any race or culture, just the human race and our culture is to be Islam. I myself don't care about the background or race of a woman who I am to marry. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to me is if her iman is strong. Besides that we all come from Adam and Hawah.(Eve/and I hope I spelled her name right!-Peace be upon them both)

Wel i think that status is a totally different thing. wudnt sum1 want to get married 2 sum1 with the same status as themselves so they feel they r equal. i dunno:confused: wat do u ppl think?
marriying your own kind can cause a lot more problems that marrying outside... coz when you marry inside there are certain things expect from you and some cultural 'rules' that you gotta adhere to... and if you break any of these 'rules' it will cause a lot of problem and the families wont let it go so easily.
where as if you marry outside then you break any of the 'rules' they will let it go coz you haven;t been bought up like them and it is not expected from you to adhere to all the rules coz of your different backgound.
especially in a 'close knit' family... where everyone only marrys within relatives... if one of your relatives does/says something wrong then it will hurt a lot more than if a stranger does/says something wrong

I totally disagree with class marriages, they are wrong within Islam. For the Pakistani's or co they would understand the saying or the terms "mera beata sirif doctor sa shadi kara ga":rolleyes:

Assalamulaikom,
Marriage depends from my point of view only on how much imaan a person has and how much practising he is, that is the only thing and not marrying within your ownkind, that should totaly not be the judging factor. Usually i do agree Pakistani's want to marry within pakistani people , and usually it is a marriage of professions rather then people there, which is a sad thing :(
Sallaam
Sis Q, it is true that marriage should be considered through deen and not culture etc. What we also have to try and understand is that parents have to try to figure out the other family etc, and this is best done when you know a culture.
Sis AG, not one but two guys? Not even know there names? I hope it all works out.

assalaamu'alaikum,
I'm not sure race should be an issue. There are ups and downs in all marriages, and divorces in practically all cultures, within same race marriages.
In a perfect world, where Islam is followed strictly and with a passion, and Muslims adhere to Quran and sunnat, I think mixed marriages wouldn't be an issue.
The perfect ingredients for marriage has more to do with compatability of beliefs, mutual respect, patience, as well as mutual attraction.
If Muslims are strictly following the Quran and sunnah, and less inclined to strictly follow deviant cultural traditions, beliefs would not nearly be argued over so frequently. Further more the couple would have the blessings of Allah Ta'ala.
If the wife was to respect her husbands rights, and visa-versa, and they were always willing to work through a problem, without showing anger (which is contrary to the sunnat) and spewing disrespectful insults, (also against the sunnat), there would be less dramas. Marriages would also benefit if the wife was less ungrateful, and the husband more understanding.
This is where patience comes in. If we were more patient with our partners faults, more understanding and less critical, more grateful for the qualities he or she possess's, we would be upsetting eachother less as well as practicing the sunnat. Following the Quran and sunnat, inshallah can only lead to success, and a positive vibe in the home will benefit the couple and children alike.
And regarding mutural attraction. In this diverse world, people have different tastes, and appreciate different qualities in the opposite sex. Just as some go for the character of a person, many firstly go for looks. No use denying it. Why else are photos exchanged in matrimony applications? Intitally the race wouldn't matter, but whether you are attracted to that person. And even if you don't immediately think "wow"..... after getting to know each other, and with the compatability of beliefs, and mutual respect, the "wow" should come later, inshallah.
Islam is supposed to be THE religion opposed to racism. Sadly many cultures still have not got past their pre Islamic caste systems.
May all our marriages have the blessings of Allah subhana wa Ta'ala. And may we be strong in deen, and obedient to Allah Ta'ala in all our actions. May we love for the sake of Allah(swt) and raise our children to be the best of Muslims. Ameen.
Your sister in Islam, Rukaya.

is going too far!
the prophet [saw] married women from different tribes and races to unite the ummah.... muslims should start practising this to unite the ummah too... obviously there would be more difficulties than if one did marry their 'own kind', but these difficulties can be overcome and will make the marriage stronger. ok, sometimes it might not work, so what?.... at least you're attempting to unite the ummah.

Divorces happen in all cultures, and if it is down to difference in the color of skin or background, then both partners haven't been practising their Islam as much as they should have.

What problems does it really cause?? I just wonder abt that because probably if it caused that many problems it would have been Haram for us, because usually Islam forbids the things that are going to cause people alot of problems and damage health & all that...
Anyway, personally I would rather NOT marry any of my cousins, even second cousins and first cousins removed and all these other relations. Certain people in my family were tryna fix up me & one of my cousins (technically step cousin or something) but I agree with Zee abt the variety, and anyway, alot of the time cousins grow up too close with each other... even tho cousins aren't mahram, they get treated that way anyway, and if you've grown up with some cousins like your own brothers, it wud feel very weird 2 then go and marry them

In a way better then marrying total Strangers who dont know at all!
if its not haram by Allah and His Messenger, i fail to see any problem with it ur right... but the Prophet's [pbuh] example teaches us to marry outside as much as we marry inside.
it's become a custom these days where ppl think marrying outside the family has become a total heresy. this the prophet [pbuh] did not teach

And truly variety is the spice of life (And ppl know how badly Asians loves spices :rolleyes: )

But there's no problem marrying your cousin, if they're kewl, have Eeman and are well mannered then i think there's nothing wrong, personally i think in Asian society's cousins mingle wid each other 2 much to such an extent that you regard your cousins as either big or small brs or srs.
:salams
i'm not saying one should not marry their cousin. if u think that ur cousin is suitable for you then by all means marry.
the point here is the continual cycle of marriage into the family. let me give u an example: the hasidic jews who only marry within themselves... myopia (shortsightedness) is common in almost all males, it's genetic.
now by marrying outside as much as ppl marry inside would eliminate such problems.
I think it was Umar [ra] that said something to the effect "Marry far and wide, it strengthens the blood"

well if you have illnesses in your family that are passed down generation after generation... and you think it's best not to marry into it again because that would increase the risk of your children having that illness.. then don't..
surely marrying in the family doesn't CAUSE illness, it just KEEPS illness in that family..
the choices are still simple..

marriying your own kind can cause a lot more problems that marrying outside... coz when you marry inside there are certain things expect from you and some cultural 'rules' that you gotta adhere to... and if you break any of these 'rules' it will cause a lot of problem and the families wont let it go so easily.
where as if you marry outside then you break any of the 'rules' they will let it go coz you haven;t been bought up like them and it is not expected from you to adhere to all the rules coz of your different backgound.
especially in a 'close knit' family... where everyone only marrys within relatives... if one of your relatives does/says something wrong then it will hurt a lot more than if a stranger does/says something wrong

the prophet [saw] married women from different tribes and races to unite the ummah.... muslims should start practising this to unite the ummah too... obviously there would be more difficulties than if one did marry their 'own kind', but these difficulties can be overcome and will make the marriage stronger. ok, sometimes it might not work, so what?.... at least you're attempting to unite the ummah.

Race...
I have seen both sides of the issue practiced. I have seen that only two from the same race and cultural background are encouraged. And, I have seen those who don't care about race or cultural background. I have seen two people who were of separate cultures be forbade to marry, because one of them was Black and one was Pakistani. And then, the Pakistani married a Caucasian, and that was permissible by the family who just did not want a Black person to corrupt their bloodline.
I believe that True Love conquers all.

i would prefer to marry a woman completely opposite to me, i don't really like the idea of same race marriges
people should mix...that way...eventually..we will all be 1 race :) and there will be no more raceism
You're absolutely right! If there were more marriages, say, between Muslims and Jews in Israel, the children would almost always only have relatives facing him.
no..not that far opposite...i won't marry trash, paline and simple...only muslim woman will do

where as if you marry outside then you break any of the 'rules' they will let it go coz you haven;t been bought up like them and it is not expected from you to adhere to all the rules coz of your different backgound.
In other words...zee's been let off the hook coz she broke the rules.
Bad zee.

Just to confirm, the question was about Muslims marrying Jews. You said: "i would prefer to marry a woman completely opposite to me, i don't really like the idea of same race marriges

Aren't Jews exactly what you meant?
no..it had nothing to do with jews
the thing that drives raceism is skin color....if everyone was the same color..how can you hate someone for their color?
no..it had nothing to do with jews
the thing that drives raceism is skin color....if everyone was the same color..how can you hate someone for their color?
the thing that drives racisim is all in the mind... everything starts from within oneself...
In other words...zee's been let off the hook coz she broke the rules.
Bad zee.
