Sister Sharifa, it depends, are you Shia? What ur parents are saying is mostly what shias say ....
I have a question and I hope members in this forum willing to answer me in the light of quran and sunnah.
Me being a Muslimah, I know and agree that I should marry a Muslim. I come from a Syed family where my parents (especially my father) believe that a woman from a Syed family can only marry a Syed. I really do not understand this because he believes that other "regular" Muslims (non-syed) as he refers to them are not given this privilege (to marry a Syed) .I am confused, I thought all Muslims were equal and I even read a Hadith that a father should not reject an acceptable suitor. I know that certain families have preferences but this is beyond that because in my family it doesn't matter what family they are from as long as he is Syed. If I didnt marry with Syed, I absolutely no longer with their family anymore. This restriction is placed only on women (in some Syed families, the men are also restricted). Please tell me if there is such a thing and if it has any meaning.
:tti_sister: PLEASE HELPPP!!!
I heard also, we syed-syarifah family will get some extra privellage in the judgement day
Assalamalikum. Dear Sister yes this happens a lot in Syed families.But even in Syed families there a lot who say they are syed but actually they are not. My aunts were only allowed to marry Syed. This is against islamic belief. But in our family it was one step further. If you did not have a Shijrah to prove your lineage with a proper shijrah you could not marry. Like my family tree is 1400 years old. And the book is that old. But i believe that if you are a good muslim and a true muslim that is better then being from so and so family. and one brother said that it is a shia thing. No it is not cause my family has always been sunni for the past 1400 yrs
