Guidelines on interactions with Non-Muslims

[abdulwalee]

Bismillah:


Ok, you have to understand the following:


• There are many verses in the Qur’an stating that those who coexist peacefully with Muslims are entitled to justice, compassion, and respect, irrespective of their religion (60:8-9) as long as they are peaceful with Muslims, in other words, those who are <b>not</b> peaceful with Muslims should not be treated the same way, and in my opinion, this group is the one which Allah referred to in verse 3:32


• The Qur’an allows a Muslim man to get married to a Christian or Jewish woman. If it were true that the Qur’an demands hating Non Muslims in general, how could it permit a Muslim man to marry such women? <b>Marriage is the closest human relationship and is described in the Qur’an as a relationship characterized by peace, love, and compassion</b> (30:21)


not only that a Muslim man can marry a Jewish or Christian woman, but as a wife, her Muslim husband has obligations to her. As revealed in Surah 30 verse 22, <b>he should dwell with her in peace and treat her with love and compassion. </b>


Does it make sense that a Muslim would be permitted to marry a non Muslim, but not to love her?


Salam


Wael.
