Assalam Alaikum: My Islamic Br's & Sis's.

Communal divide (Primarily between Hindus & Muslims) in India is progressive. Each community blames other,for its aggressive attitude. Very recently Hindu extremists accuse Muslims,for inventing a new form of Jihad called "Love Jihad". They define ''Love Jihad" as act of trapping Non-Muslim girls (Mainly Hindus) by Muslim youths in love and marring them after converting them to Islam. More on love Jihad can be read on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Jihad. Love Jihad is mainly in focus in some southern Indian states. Allah knows the truth.

But I have myself noticed lust for Hindu girls among Muslim youths in my own city. Often there are incidences when Hindu girl allegedly runs away from her family with her Muslim lover. My city fell many times in communal tension cause of these inter-community love affairs.

Once,my best post-reversion Muslim friend,who is already married and father of two kids, said '' I will convert a Hindu girl to Islam and marry her. How logical and moral is this from Islamic perspective?. How valid is this marriage?.

Regards.
Abdullah.

@akhi Abdullah

while it is true that in one of the southern state few girls went to police and complained that their 'boy friends' are trying to convert them to islaam, i received a mail long before that warning our sisters to be aware of this filthy tricks by Hindu extremist elements.

If there is any truth in those girls complaint, which by the way happened in Kerala, it could only be termed as the opposite reaction of some misled muslim brothers. *i am not supporting them* To me it could be a conspiracy to jail some muslim youth. may Allah protect us from misguidance and from the extreme elements against our society.

@akhi Ibn uthaymin - yes we are not allowed to marry them Hindus. Love Jihad, if there is any, is when you convert a non believer and marry her.

btw.. whats the word Jihad got to do here!?!?!

Assalam Alaikum Br. Ilyas.

Word "Jihad" has always been misinterpreted by Non-Muslims,same interpretations continue here,when word "Love Jihad" was coined by these Hindu extremists. They won't understand significance and beauty of Jihad,even if classes be conducted for them for their whole lives.

I did not conjoint word Love and Jihad :)

what you've said is true. with our trouble making other communities understand that God is One,(especially in India) we forget to teach them the beauty of Jihad.

Futhermore, the term itself stands for the point that it could be a conspiracy. Any sensible muslim would not use such a term - LoveJihad. Though we love 'jihad'.. hehe..

We hear media roaring about Indian mujahideen for years now and no information about their leadership etc. India is a complex country with evenmore complex conspiracies against muslims. mera bharat mahan they say.. *smiles*

One thing we have to understand is that guidance from Allah. We do not guide nor convert people but it is Allah who opens peoples hearts for islam. For someone to believe that they can convert people shows lack of knowledge. If that the case, we could easily convert 1000s of people, but we can't. Also, when people accept islam it has to be sincerely for Allah. If it is for other cause, then it will not be accepted by Allah.

Allah knows best

I think this time I will start my reply with prayer to Allah to guide us all and to show us the right path to follow, and to make us one of those who do everything only for His sake. Ameen Ya Rabb.

When I have red this article , I rememberd ayah in which Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala sais :

Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and humankind, having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the cattle - nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful. (Al-A’raf, 179)

And it is truth that people after gudience contained in Quran and Sunnah, still do not reflect upon Allahs law, still make lawful something what has been already strictly prohibited by Allah and His Messanger s.a.w.s.

Like someone has already said Dawah is an obligation for every Muslim according to his/her ability and knowledge, but it should be also noted that Dawah should be given only and only for the sake of Allah, and on Allah is to decide who He subhanahu wa ta’ala will guide trough dawah, and who are those who are sincerely searching for the truth, becouse only Allah is All Knowing.

When giving Dawah one must not forget that there are ruls according Quran and Sunnah which must be followed and taken in consideartion, or else our efforts on passing message of Islaam on others and not acting upon Quran and Sunnah while doing so will not be Dawah. And Allah knows the best.

There are also specific rullings of Islamic sharee’ah, when Muslim man is giving Dawah to a Non-Muslim woman and vice versa.

One of those which should be kept in mind with great attention are following rules:

- it is not permissible – for example – to be alone with a kaafir woman, not even for the sake of Da’wah

- You must beware of forming relationships with women, and you should be aware of the ways in which the Shaytaan introduces evil,

- you efforts to make da’wah and draw closer to Allaah by offering advice to kaafir women may end up with you being tested and tempted by them

- Da’wah to non-Muslim women should either be undertaken by Muslim women,

- or else by a Muslim man giving them tapes and booklets, or by giving public speeches and lectures without deliberately looking at the women



These rullings have been taken from Islam Q&A


And Allah knows the best


May Allah guide us all. Ameen

Very well said. I agree with you 100%. While making Dawah to opposite sex,Islamic etiquettes need to be followed. Surely Dawah must be only,for the sake of Allah without any predisposition.
