About the show:
Inter-racial marriages accounted for at least 1 in 5 unions here in Singapore in 2013. On The Red Dot explores the dynamics of these marriages across cultures and religions through 3 couples who are at different milestones of their lives. Throughout the four-part series, they share their relationship ups and downs and how their different backgrounds impact their lives as couples. In each episode, we bring together one member from each couple to share their experiences and seek advice for a milestone they each strive to achieve. Their rich discussions explore everything from dating, wedding rituals and preparations, family acceptance, bringing up children and growing old together. In sharing the trials and triumphs of their inter-racial marriages, they discover that there are just as many similarities between them as there are differences.
Kids are lucky,they get x2 the amount of packets when it is chinese new year and hari raya
Hahaha.. that's true enough lol.
damn true XD
Pupitar_YT Tatairwan ikr there so lucky
Money cant buy my religion.
Haha
The calm n wise gentleman " ustaz" really deserves respect for his knowledge, straightforwardness, and humble expressions. Stay blessed tuan ustaz.
Agreed, i wish there's more pakcik ustad like that, we can love our own belief but not by too extreme or fanatical,
his reply to her questions about what happens to her parents after she convert is just too on point for me.... Alot would think that conversion means that you are abandoning your family, but this is not the case at all.
Video 1:18 why ustaz cry when the lady asked will my family feel like they will lose me as a daugther? did ustaz lied?
[Quran 9.23] Sahih International: O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
farisplazroblox Chowdhury agreed on this!
But I have one question here is: what is the religion of the kids?
I'm a Catholic, but i'm very impressed about how the Ustaz answered her question. Been seeing a lot of political ustaz being too one-sided with their views towards a certain religion. This one, is someone i would listen if he preached about their religion, not to convert to Islam, but to understand and accept our brothers and sisters of different religion. Hope he's always in a good health and really hope to see more ustaz/ustazah like him in the future.
👍
there's plenty of ustaz/ulama like him..its just you engaged with the politically inclined ustaz,that's a big NO if u want to understand about islam..a good ustaz is like a fatherly figure to you,always look up to you when u are in need 🙂
Sameee
Amin
There is only one textbook message/view in Islam in regard to how you treat your parents. You have to take care of them, respect them and never talk back whether they are good or "bad" parents. Some uztaz can deliver the message wisely some others are harshly but the message is the same.
Title is misleading. Probably cause if title"Malay Muslim + Converted Chinese Catholic", there would not be this much views on the video
Yeah
Totally agreed!
Totally agree! When she said she converted, i was like ...
"Clickbait"
yeah.
The ustaz is so learned and fatherly. The way he answered was very patient and inspiring.The kids are really lucky to have such good loving parents. Best wishes!
Sadly ustaz in Malaysia arent like this.
@@jackalshine1369 well yes but no...u should find real ustaz not someone that think he know well in religion...sorry if that hurt u😅
You should not see Ustaz in political party as your references. Their minds have been corrupted and full of agenda to do anything to gain supporters. Lol
@@jackalshine1369 well social media ustaz is DIFFERENT compare to normal ustaz..
respect to the ustaz
When the husband says "as long as he make a living honestly, no problem, he can go with my kids".. the wife face " ya ya, thats stage 1, im the final stage!!"
Apple, Orange = fruit. Chinese, Malay = people. If its love, its love.
This is not fruit or thing, this is religion culture and Chinese had more than 5000 years civilization why muslim enforce us to follow and convert to them with no culture all follow and copy other ( bible copy from Catholic )
@@davidyong9497 hey brotha. I got nothing but love for all. This world needs more love than hatred and division. its all good and i respect your opinion. Peace bro.
david yong because its part of the religion's rules. You want to get married you convert lah. If dont want then dont. Why the fuss
Chinese culture in future will be terminated...sad
david yong some of u guys chinese singaporean cant even speak chinese somemore talk about culture lel
Misleading title. While I am happy to see inter-racial marriages, i am looking forward to truly inter-religious marriages. Where both partners maintain their own faiths and it would be great to see how they bring up their kids in a secular environment.
Ikr!
Not possible with Islam. So “tolerant.”
@Jyue An Why even bother then?
I'm sorry but in islam your spouse must be muslim or it will not be counted as marriage and just zina . And if you have problem uphold that law then you should not uphold your faith. Commited to your faith follow the law.
" zina " adultary.
What you look in this video is usually happens in Malaysia.. The most surprising is, who convert non muslim to muslim in Malaysia, they be more better muslim than person who born muslim in Malaysia.. That broke my heart
CHINESE muslim in Malaysia sometimes better in attitude than Malay muslim. Ebit Lew is one if them. And there are many more non-muslim Chinese that possessed good attitude in Malaysia. Its just the islamist politician painted us dark to gain support.
Truer words have never been spoken
@@jackalshine1369 if u are muslim, i think you already learn about islam.. Islam is not only what you believe or meaner things.. But islam teaching a way of life.. Its include about politics.. Thats why politics and islam cannot be separate..
When non muslim convert to muslim they did not do it bcus they're curious,they are not trying religon..they devoted to it and they know what they want to do in their life..thats why most of them are better than born muslim
That is because they seek the truth way of life and what is the true teaching in islam but for us born muslim, we are already born in islam so we dont seek the true message and teaching. We take it lightly. They maybe already know other religion teaching and can compare it to our. We cant be like that because we are born muslim. And for that we usually would take everything in islam very lightly. They seek with their whole heart and we dont. And i think they would seek the smallest thing in islam than us like for example how to clean your pants if it got little stain like urine spot when you are praying outside. I dont think many muslim know how to clean what you wear without changing it and do the prayer.
Most misleading youtube title. She is convert and no longer Catholic.
Well,,, she used to be catholic in the first few years after marriage. So it still counts hmmmm
Malay covert to Catholic marrying a Christian would be an issue .
Apparently yeah..
That's the probl4 with this religion
how is that an issue? u do realize there are malay catholic out there , yes?
@@marinanetto3791 the problem is your understanding of the word "malay".malay is not a religion

Clickbait title: the woman converted to islam. If you're here thinking this is a story about 2 religons coexisting peacefully, you can go.
Isn't it compulsory for a non islam to convert to islam once married to a muslim? Maybe the rules differ in Singapore, but in Malaysia, it is the rule here. One of the shittiest rule ever created
@@youpretty5343 the non muslim already given privillege to live in malaysia and indonesia without us muslim attacking them. They should have converted to muslim long ago.
@@tama5890 no. Not justified to force someone into islam.
Prophet Muhammad given the quraish(quraisy) people freedom to pick between being non-Muslim or muslim. Freedom is the fundamental of islam.
You speak as if you are full of hatred in your mind,and thus you cannot be called a true Muslim. Good day
@@youpretty5343 oh wow, so Islamophobic you are. In Islam, both husband and wive must be a Muslim. That is the reality. Shittiest rule? According to whom? You?nah.. we dont force someone to become muslim. But when it comes to marriage, the non believer must be converted to Islam.. Did it bothered you? If it does. Then why you are so entitled ? Try to understand Islam better. We muslim here are living in peace with others religion. But your comment sure pissed me off. Good day.
@@haiqaliskandar7056 understand islam? Bro, i studied the religion for 4 years in my school. Let me tell you, Muslims today are nothing compared to the Prophet Muhammad and his followers. You people are giving islam a bad name. Don't believe me? Ask people all around the world and ask their opinion on the religion. Prophet Muhammad used to allow freedom of religion, and now it is no more for the fear of muslims convert out of islam. Shameful, and don't call me an islamophobe
Catholics should be careful not to marry outside the Catholic faith because of difference in morals and values.... if you are Catholic in name only, then you shouldn't really call yourself Catholic, you are not practicing the faith. Something that needs to change. Catholicism isn't a club or a racial group, it's more than just a religion, it's Jesus' church, the one he started with St. Peter.
Thanks for sharing this story. I see two Singaporeans who have created a loving family. Marriage and raising children is a gift and there are challenges for everyone. There is no 'best way'. So long as the couple cherish each other all will be well.
The title led me to believe that after marriage, they both respectfully practiced their own faiths without influencing the other to convert for the sake of marriage. It made me believe that at least in Singapore, all religions respected each other equally. Looks like I should have known better.... it's always one-sided.
yes misleading title, clickbait
pooi!
This might not have turned out well if the muslim had to convert......
Might be best if neither would convert and just been married together
@@a.s.l711 in most of the world you can marry no matter what religion spouses practice, being same or each have their own, or one of them or both not being religious at all. Also Malaysia is quite developed country only this racial and religious separation is holding it back, and their laws even enforce that. But it makes sense, to keep people in chceck the best way is to control their thinking and dont let their minds open too much. Unfortunatelly.
More precisely, this wouldn't even happen if the muslim had to convert. Because while Islam does not allow interreligious marriage, almost every muslim, if not all, will choose Islam over the woman.
I'm a muslim and I think people should definitely be open to know a thing or two about my religion.
Because Islam is actually for all 😊
@@KubasKlimkar lol wrong. The religion itself made it clear to not marrying someone if they're not the same religion.
Because muslims know that islam is the truth I would recommend u to do atleast a little research about islam and u will find the truth!
Doh! If I know CNA was doing a story on religion marriage I would have introduced them to 1 of my co-worker. He is an Indian Roman Catholic ( still current is ) and she is a Muslim ( still currently is ). He told me religion is 1 of the headach he faced until he have to call the police to stop religious people that keep visiting him and asking him to convert.
CNA are you listening?
My brother-in-law had the same experience. They had to move away coz they were always on his case to convert
I love both my cultures Malay and Chinese..
Is that your own picture on ur display?? 😯
It's a very equal marriage. It's just that the girl had to make all the sacrifices on her end just to please the Muslim family. Other than that, very equal 😂😂😂
She's still carrying her family's name and could even named her kids with her surname. Would she able to do that if she married chinese guy with different surname?
@@usebrain8189 ye cause now she is athe property of her husband. Shall i put my surname on my ferrrari? No it can remain named ferrari,
Thought the same thing lol
@@usebrain8189 Have name but lost both religion and mother language then what's the point. Like those Singaporean Japanese who can't speak a lick of Japanese. What an embarrassment and pity.
@@slaiyfershin the kids belong to their parents so it's all up to them, they can speak english, malay, mandarin even Indian as they like. Plus, it's their own personal choice, why you have to butt-hurt? Would you feel the same if the mother married an ang mo and chose 2b freethinker? The situation would be 'double standard' , right?
The "Ustaz", this is what we called respect!
i will be impressed only to see a loving couple with different race marry each other but stayed faithfully with ones own religion. And that's when true love really have a meaning.
I'm indian,my wife of 24yrs is malay...we have a 21 yr old son...next year is our silver jubilee...planned to go on a cruise liner....just as how we tolerated,understood and loved... cruising through the years.👌👍
@Rich 91 does it matter?
@Rich 91
If you're talking about why muslim don't convert it's simple, muslim general rule is don't convert or be punished. Simple rule ey? You can argue all night but rules are rules.
@Rich 91 you're not making sense but ok
With the virus outbreak, cruising is not the best idea sir...
@@TheAfrilazeeq
"Don't convert or be punished" is depends on situation
Religion teach us to do good deeds. I hope they both find happiness.
yes....
We dont need religion to teach us to do good deeds in modern world
Religion teach the good deed, but the followers do the opposite thing.
@@m.syafiq2327 very well-said fact. That's why atheists are way better and truthfull than all who have religions.

I don't agree with you saying that u don't believe in learning mandarin . U r a Chinese and ur children learn Malay and English. Why don't u make them learn mandarin as well.
whats the point especially when even pure chinese families in Singapore rarely enforces knowin mandarin / cantonese to their own children in the first place ?
This is where the term of "banana" created
It is there choice. I am indian i can speak abit of chinese, malay and japanese. So everyone can learn there choice because this is who they are and they own will.
Eh who u. Their kids, their choice la. Alamak
Yea i agree with you. I believe you should take the languages that your parents speak of
Most importantly we call ourselves Singaporeans
Malay has defeated chinese in this video
😂😂😂🎉🎉
Not only in this vid. Every interracial rs between malays and chinese, the chinese must follow the malay way.
Im christian, my mom always tell me that i can be friends with muslims but to never date a muslim
You can read their holy book with context of the command and history.. You will get know why she told this
I am from a Buddhist family, my mother said the same thing
It's not a racist issue, it's just a hassle with their religion and all. I don't think your mom has an issue with you dating anyone other than a muslim.
@@youpretty5343 Yes it is a convenience issue.
yes...Religion is the huge GAP!
I love how the integration between race and religion in singapore , this is how people can live in racial harmony
Hi
Some parts of this story are very sick. First, she is not identified as Catholics anymore. She converted, then they got married. Second, she doesn’t very much agree about her Chinese heritage either. She is proudly talking about her children not speaking Chinese, and denies any importance of learning it. This story should be named, how a Chinese woman converted and led her whole family into Muslim.
In interracial marriage if one of the party is Muslim, he or she will insist the other to convert. This does not happen when none of the parties are Muslims. Christians and Hindus marry and they keep their own religion. For Muslims, this is rare.
This is where the inequality is
Had a relationship with a non-Muslim guy for 5 years, can't proceed due to the different religion background. Still praying to Allah, may He bless him with hidayah & terbuka pintu hati dia untuk terima Islam. Also, pray for me to be strong to face all this difficulties
Amin. Stay strong cik.
@@jacknoble8164 doakan saya kuat, terima kasih
But why must he convert to Islam when he loves u? If he believe in his religion, it's wrong to love U? What hidayah we are talking here then? I'm not trying to be rude but this i dont understand.
If u love him, why not u convert to his religion, r u trying to use the name of love to expand ur religion? Why only ask other religion to convert to urs and not u convert to theirs?
No comments so far? This video is so beautiful...
I guess it's like crack. I her it is beautiful when you first smoke but down the road reality hits you.
@@jeffreykok1669 they're considered "Others" maybe
If it is true love, it has no need for conversion.

Grow up. Who are you to judge. Just respect and everything will be fine. Jeez.
Im an muslim but a rarely compelete the 5 prayers thing a day kinda stuff and they call me infidel some reason lol
@@aeox6818 Why do you claim yourself muslim if you don't do them? Do you accept what are written in quran and hadith?
@@guyhero Islam is clearly about control. A muslim woman cannot marry outside the faith and a man is allowed four wives. This woman has been fooled.
I thought religion were supposed to bring everyone together. Yet much of the time, I see religion acting as a barrier between people
I feel that too
Because religion is not just one. And you can't legally have two religion both state and religion laws. In my opinion, religion is more like the guide for our lives.
same reason our generation prefer not to have any faith anymore. sad.
Vincent Ivan Tanaya I totally agree! Religion seems to cause more problems rather than solve them.
andreas michael You can live a good life and be a good person without religion of any sort. Religion causes more problems rather than solve them.
A catholic whom converted*, the title please
Exactly
Who care, just stfu
What a wonderful couple both of you are. This is how an inter-racial marriage should be. Anne and Sham, you both are good nurturing parents/people. I like the way you both think. Others should learn from both of you. God bless both of you, your children and family 👍🙏🤲
I am curious, what would happen if on the other hand, a Catholic man married a Muslim woman, and the woman converted to a Catholic.
CNA please link if there is such a story.
Well said. Thank you for this wonderful documentary
Can't believe the wife converted so quickly. This doesn't show interfaith
It is her choice whether to convert or not. If she does it so quickly, it was also her decision.
Why convert? Have friends who married similarly but didn't convert. The silliness of it all.
Maybe the spouse comes from traditional family?
traditional or not its a marriage between two mature adults. and putting the wife in a position to decide on an option like this doesnt make sense. it should never be an option in the first place. unfortunately its the norm among muslims in singapore. why not ask the husband to convert since catholics are very conservative as well. in marriages like this it should just be a civil one. like i said the option should not be there for the wife to choose from. so now the kids will be automatically muslims, do u think the children will have a choice to choose their own. and in islam its more difficult to denounce because the stigma here. i actually know the husband as an aquaintance by the way. the questions the wife asked the ustaz are such basic ones i guess suitable for this docu. and the similarities she mentioned from the old testament is not that similar if u see the differences among the two holy books from their respective religions. so by converting she has also agreed that christ is not the son of god but a mere prophet. so this is more then traditional family values but change in belief system altogether. if she is comfortable with that then why didnt she denounce her faith even before she met her husband. totally not thought through. and she also accepts the fact that christ didnt die and rise again. not sure why one religion must instil their values on another especially even more when love is involved. dont like to rattle on this subject too much and dont mean harm, but its clear there isnt neutral ground or compromise on each's own belief system. Well to each its own and they can live with it thats most important. im sure they will have a happy married life. just that conversion is rather unnecessary. The husband also deviated from the question at the end instead to use social life experiences as an answer and not whether he will agree if their kids do convert in future.
@@redskysaturn75 I do agree with what u said. I have a friend her mum is Indonesian Muslim and dad is Singaporean Chinese but she is a freethinker and her mom is very liberal. So she and her dad didn't convert...
Well there is nothing we can do about it. The lady made her choice and if you're not willing to even go to this stage, the best would be to not even date a Malay of the opposite gender...
thats true, many do decide not to date because of this factor, its such a waste as u may be able to find someone to love even from another religion
@@redskysaturn75 :'( but definitely if Chinese and Chinese date even if they are of different religion no problem.... Though nowadays many youths still prefer to date someone of same belief as them
Good to see that this couple managed to work it out despite differences. Just hope that in the future, there will be a video on a Muslim man converting to another faith. Then that video will gain PLENTY of attention.
Negative attention more like, if a catholic converting to muslim got this much dislikes, I can't imagine how much a muslim converting to other faith will get.
Singapore and it’s people have to be admired on how the various races and religions get along and celebrate each other’s culture. It’s a great lesson for many other countries!
And the Christian lady had to convert to Islam. That's the end of the story. So much for peace and tolerance.
This is beautiful. Truly. The spirit of Singapore is embodied in them :)
Malay and Chinese are races, Muslim and Catholic are religions/belief. They are not the same, you can't change your race, but you can change your religion. Chinese who converted to Islam will never be malay, you can be Muslim Chinese, Hindu Chinese, Christian Chinese or any other religious or mixed. So I think children of mixed marriage should be proud of both their parents culture. In china, Islam are much older there than here in Malaysia. In China Muslim community are keeping their culture till this day. Malay culture are beautiful, Chinese culture are vibrant, I find them lucky if they can have both.
That's very well-said. But that's an exception in malaysia, especially for the malays. Malay is a race, right? In malaysia, even you are pure european, you are considered as ethnically malay because you were converted to islam.
He is eligible for 3 more wives and you can’t do anything about it.
Chinese shouldn't convert into other religion! Do you see Malays converting to other religions?Shame on some Chinese for abandoning their original traditional religion to either Christianity or Islam.
Its her choice and let her be , its up to her if she want change faith or whatever, but she is always chinese that nobody in this world can change . islam is the fastest growing religion in the world , people who converting to islam not just in SG but all over the world , even some of them is priest and nun.
Why are we shaming people because of their choices? Look, please allow your head to submerge into what I’m about to say: Wife is Chinese, Husband is Muslim. In Islam, (if you’ve done any actual reading then you wouldn’t have commented this) if a muslim and a non-muslim were to marry, the non-muslim shall convert into Islam - and in all likeliness the lady must have been told about this prior to being officialise as wife to a muslim man. This law exists in Islam and same to other religions. If she wants to convert to Islam, then good! If she wants to covert to let’s say, Christian! Then good! My point here is that we should *NEVER* shame someone because of their choices and let them be. It shouldn’t hurt anybody if this brings *genuine happiness* to the ‘victim’.
.
P.S. Malays are not entirely muslim; you can see Christian Malays, Buddhist Malays etc.
@Jacky Phantom i suggest u google about converted malay muslim msia.there are even churches built for them with the father a malay
There are other 1.5 billion Chinese living in this world, while malay only hundreds of million people, don't worry.
@Jacky Phantom there are many non Malay muslims in Indonesia like 30 million people(Balinese,Bataknese,Manadonese, etc) In Philippines malay there are Chatolics.
Hummmm! All good and well, but why MUST the wife convert to islam?
Why can't they just be Co-existing?
Why is islam so DOMINATING over the relationship?
And the husband jokingly said the children CANNOT marry someone from another religion or culture.... humm🤔🤔🤔
That is a bit questionable to me.
This is what people should be like
Not racism religion issues skin color
Discrimination of any kind
Just live love respect work together peacefully and happily
Animals can live in harmony for eons
Why can't we humans?

Says Chinese Catholic, but she converted to to islam by the time of this video lol
Don’t sacrifice yourself to a religion.
unless you want to
Why is it because u don't believe in god
I noticed the grandchildren blessed their grandmother's hand when she arrived. I didn't know Chinese do this too. I thought only in the Philippines 🇵🇭 this blessing of the hand.
It is not a chinese practice, more of an islamic practice. The children are Muslims as well hence they greet their grandmothers in that manner. Actually across different continents we have alot of similar practices dating back to many centuries ago so its not uncommon sometimes we see similarities. I also notice that tagalog and bahasa indonesia have some similar words as well.
chinese people dont do this
This is not in Malaysia,Malaysia is different
This is in SG , so obvious haha
Marriage is not about Race or Religion
It's about *LOVE*
but i also believe that religion is important to keep the institution and foundation for love to be stable.
except in Islam
impressive ustad ❤
Will the husband love her less if she didn't convert?
Force to conversion? This is hardly true love.
Just Trying Exactly! It seems like blackmailing rather than love. If you force your spouse to convert then you no longer respect them but love? No way!
You can say that, but she is feeling it, not you... (Sorry for my bad English)
Well, you have to, love to Allah and Muhammad SAW comes first 😉
Trinh Nguyen nope, for us its God first... coz later u die, you’ll be facing punishment on your own
Exactly! Why one religion need someone to convert and that someone would lose his/her original name, religion, racial identity, etc? Doesn't sound like true love for sure! More like slavery! Worse still if it is the man who converts to Islam. It would mean he has also lost his manhood! Anyway, this ex-Catholic would need to answer to Jesus Christ one day but I doubt she ever believes in Him!
This misleading.... Muslim can't married other religions unless they reverted back to Islam.
Nola.. Just the title's is misleading but after watch the whole vid content there no contradict issues such not revert to muslim before married or stay in married with 2 different kind of faiths lah..😘

It is the matter of beliefs... In today's world.. No one can force religion to others... Moreover... It is said in Quran that there is no compulsion in religion....
@@Harry-bk8rl how you know it's perfect religion when you don't know about other religions? Your parents don't even allow you to read other religions books. You are protected by law in many countries. If you convert, you get hanged in certain countries. Islam is like kindergarten, anyone including the dumb ones can understand easily. Other religions are like PhD, not easily understood unless you really put effort in it.
@@Harry-bk8rl I read the quran. I did not automatically became religious. Dont subject to hasty generalisation. And personal bias in your mind cause you to think Islam is perfect. Just like any other religious person with their faith.
Wishing you and your family the very best in life -they will enjoy the best of both traditions and a greater life experience. I am European catholic married to a Chinese Buddhist and we respect each other religions and traditions and in the past months we together with our grandkids celebrated Christmas and two months later Chinese New Year and yes they got red packets! Its more important that they grow up to appreciate other people’s customs and religions and respect them and the world will be a better place.....
Hi
Salam n hi.. aku sendiri pun beristerikan wanita chinese mix Siam . Yeahh, Don't say that all is ok , because bila 2 agama n bangsa berkahwin it's cabaran bg mereka menyesuaikan diri n terima berbagai ragam karenah kehidupan . Contoh , pandangan mata keluarga masing 2 yg mna mungkin tk pnh faham atau tahu tentang agama n adat pihak sebelah . Islam itu mudah jika difahami dgn betul . Kekangan dari soal pakaian , makanan or others adalah sbb untuk kebaikan kita sndri. Kadangkala bila berlaku salah faham , agak rumit untuk diselesaikan oleh sbb campurtangan keluarga masing2 . Papun , try to learn n respect each other sebaik mungkin. Insyallah , jodoh hingga ke akhir hayat .. aminnn

Wow 👍
Two different cultures and I know how hard is that .
Not easy..
Thumbs up for u guys
Giving up your faith for an earthly relationship is a very sad thing. Really sad
You mean they won't be together in the Hereafter? Only on earth?
Why is this News??...interracial couples are every where 💖
So true...just live and let live
Why conversion? When we are meant to be free with our own identity?
@HandsOffStalker haha so shouldn't it be mutual sacrifice ?
Its not about sacrifice, its about the hypocrisy of interfaith marriage with muslims.
They want to ensure that as a result of interfaith marriage, the kid remains a Muslim and this way Islamic population keeps on increasing and all of us know how *civil* muslims act once they increase in population.
@@alokgupta8126 stop hating and with those ignorant and arrogant thinking, its genuinely sounds so stupid.
they chose their identity to be Muslim.
@HandsOffStalker then why don't the man sacrifice his religion for the woman. Why always the non-muslim that should *sacrifice* for Muslim just for marriages. If you guys talk about sacrifice, *why* every marriages, non-muslim need to be muslim to get accept as a married couple.
@HandsOffStalker So Love is not a thing for you as long as you just sacrifice your life for nothing but God only? You can said there's a lot of fish in the sea, a lot woman or man outside beside who they love. But is it? Is it that easy? Is it that easy to forgot all your memories? Is it that easy to not Love the person that could be your the love of your life? Not all love story is love at first sight, I don't even think love at first sight exist because if you love at first sight that mean you only like their face, their body. A lot memories built and trust for each other in relationship. And not all people can let go of it. They could love no other but their love one. What's your suggestion in this kind of situation. Just don't marriages anyone until you die?
In Malaysia, you all will regret it. And I think, Malaysia should do this. You can't force people to convert like that. .
they moved to australia haha
yet they convert and they are happy, now park elsewhere
The majority race in Malaysia are blind and deaf to the hardships of people like Revathi Masoosai and Indira Gandhi. They only want to tell the world that their religion is all good.
@@funofboredom then go to india, eat beef and see how they'll treat you as a royal guest......lolz
@@queeniemars159 One sided sacrifice.
Mixed marriages are common in Malaysia. So what made this one special? It would’ve been more interesting if the bride didn’t have to convert and the husband was OK with that. I know of marriages between Chinese and Malays where there was no conversion and the children bore both Malay and Chinese names and did not practice Islam.
Much2 loves for you guys. In Malaysia, I have a lot of friends mix malay and chinese. I don’t really care who you are. As long as you are a nice person 💕
My both grandmothers are also chinese
Im malay..but i have chinese blood in my veins
u r sino malay..!
@@zulli3534 Are you idiot? She's basically born with chinese muslim grandparents, her parents has Malay. She can be called Malay after born because she's born in Malaysia with mix bloods and Islamic religion.
@@rainforest8893 baba nyoya. But no more due to UMNO

We are talking about religion bossku, not nationality. Big difference
I see no similarities between u n him
Lol your English
sorry to say.. honestly as a muslim.. they can't have mixed religion marriage. real muslim don't do that. if they have to then you have to make your partner convert to muslim first... (not by force). and please survey and learn more about muslim (islamic) hope we stay and walk on the right path.
Why that woman does not teach her children about catolicism? I think it is not fair. Can that muslim man give their daughter to catolic man , if she wants to marry him?
Not gonna happen tho. Muslims dont accept other religions being taught.
@@Noa......yes the most sarcastic part is they only allow other to join them but don’t allow theirs to join other, so as to increase their population
I guess the guy is very understanding, I think he will allow his daughters to convert to other religion when marry a guy from different race. :)
No, that is forbid in Islam..
It is very difficult (if not impossible) for Muslims to change their religion legally. Some states regard conversion / apostasy in Islam as a form of religious crime punishable by a fine, imprisonment or up to six strokes of the cane.
@@nathjizo9298 I guess you didn't realise my sarcasm. FYI, Judaism and Christianity do not encourage or permit either. I know you don't care, so likewise I don't care if Islam forbids or not. There's no exclusivity for any religion.
@@fcyvr5860 I am very aware of insecurities of some of the governments by imposing such law. That's one of the ways to protect the Muslim population from decreasing. What they don't realise is if similar law and punishments were enforced by previous religions, Islam wouldn't even exist today.
@@ronny6x It's their way or the highway. I was a former Muslim and trust me when I say it's nothing more than a totalitarian cult disguising as a religion.
I have been watching this video many times and still enjoy with it...may Allah bless both of you and your family
Adam LB Muslim Cannt convert to any other religion it says
In the Quran
Well to simply put it, if you're not a muslim and you marry into a muslim family, you gotta convert, no matter how strongly you feel against it. Period.
It's a big step for anyone and everyone, especially with the many restrictions and customs you gotta follow after converting. It just shows how love can overcome all sorts of boundaries, even religion.
Not really, one religion won out.
There is no tolerance, only conquest and expansion.
So love only works one way not both ways ? Can see which had to sacrifice more for the relationship.
True
"i believe there is only one race- human race"
Definitely true
Not true
Only one word to describe this whole thing.
Beautiful.
I watched a documentary somewhere which is even more extreme a Palestinian Muslim and an Israeli Jew. So this is nothing to frown about.
That is a colourful of life..
Respect both of them..
3 kids already showed that they hv a happy life..
Being a husband is easy.. but to be a great & wise husband with islam code in relationships are at another level.
So it’s basically Malay muslim and Chinese Muslim
Why would u ever wanna convert from Christian to islam . bad idea
this women never read and understand bible.
Because it's her choice
@@leelajapheth6339 Individual choices got nothing to do with religious teachings.
I have a guy I love, before, but he's a Muslim man .. so I decided to break up with him and he was crying in front of me .. we were both crying .. because we broke up not because he was a Muslim or I hate Muslims, but because I choose to believe in my religion so I can't be a muslim .. in malaysia, if i marry him i must follow him to be a muslim ... right? But what I see in this video is that we can also get married if it's not the same religion, right??????
Muslim man are allowed to marry jewish or christian woman. I hope you will be happy in the future.
if you can see she's already convert to islam only her name not change...i feel so sad with your story,i hope 1 day ALLAH will give you hidayah ....amiin
@@ediarwan9850 i also hope one day God will open your heart to believe at Him.. amen GBU
Well u have so many choices other than Muslim man,
The title is very misleading. Surely, CNA can do better than that.
But why must she convert to Islam? On the same token he can convert to be a Catholic. But the best approach would be to maintain your own spiritual belief and bring the kids up as independent free thinking people. Tolerance of each other
sadly that is not the way of Islam for marriage, I heard for them, the partner must be converted to Islam if they want to get married.
No darling, the bible & the quran are definitely the opposite. Let's not confuse anyone else. Thank you.
nah...different in some ways but not opposite; just to set the record right
@@hmlatiff61 When a fact in the bible is opposed by the quran, do you see it as an opposite or a difference? When Christians believe that Jesus is the way, the truth & the life.. & that He is our Lord & Saviour, & Muslims opposed to it, do you still see it as a difference instead of the opposite? No. 180 degrees the opposite.
@@thebradelonge5758 The only thing that Muslims don't believe is that Jesus Christ(peace be upon him) is the son of God. In Islam, Jesus as well as all prophets are given the utmost respect and love. As a Muslim, you must love Jesus because we believe that he is a prophet of God and we DO believe he is one of our saviours during akhirat.
Btw, I'm not trying to debate on whether or not Jesus is the son of God. It is not my place to change that, I'm just simply trying to deny your statement that implies Islam completely oppose every aspect about Jesus which we don't
@@xxrabbitsnipezxx5794 Jesus says only through Him that one can be saved. So basically He is saying that any other teachings are not to be followed. In other words, the bible opposes any other books. Please don't confuse yourself & also say that we worship the same God, because we serve the opposite Master thank you
people: it's rare to see a Malay people being a couple with Chinese people
CNA: * throws a vid about both married couple, a Malay husband and his Chinese wife *
me: but still-
tbh it’s still rare.
2.8k people who are jealous of other's happiness and peaceful life. What a sad pool of people...
will you be showing a couple where the muslim converts to the other religion, in the spirit of fairness?
So why must Muslim convert to other religions?
@@Bladesofkaos because it happens.
@@InfernoXV but it's not a must, right?
@@Bladesofkaos you’re missing the point.
@@InfernoXV what point am I missing?
Beautiful family..the kids are very lucky to have both cultures in their upbringing💕 love the wise ustad how to explain what is Islam is all about💕
Islam , a religion of evil
Title should be Muslim marrying Muslim. She has converted, converted means leaving your past faith behind
I'm a Filipina Catholic who has an Indonesian Muslim fiancee. Just checking out to see videos like this. I'm also afraid of what changes and adjustments I might go through.
Well,when Indonesian man/girl married different religions,it's up to you,you want to follow him or stay your own religious,but mostly someone either you or him must give up on his religion to become one religion 👌 😌
“I believe all express the truth, just in different language.”
“If all religions are equally true, then does that mean you would accept everything that all religions teach?”
“Yes. I might express it differently, but I believe that deep down we are all speaking the same language.”
“So you agree with the Christian religion, which says that Christ is the only way to the Father?”
“No.” Mary was unaware of the logical contradiction she had just expressed. She looked at me as if perhaps I wasn’t paying attention. After all, she had just stated that all religions were equally true. Why would I now ask her if she believed the exact opposite?
“I’m confused,” I said, gently. “You say you believe that all religions are equally true, but you don’t believe that the Christian religion is correct in saying that Jesus Christ is the only objective means of salvation. Doesn’t that mean that you don’t believe that all religions are equally true?”
Is It Arrogant to Believe that Other Religions Are Wrong?
Mary became uncomfortable when she saw that she had contradicted herself and dismissed what I had said by saying: “I guess I just think it’s arrogant to believe that your worldview is right and that everyone else’s is wrong.”
Not wanting to press too hard, I resisted the temptation to show Mary how her religious indifferentism was itself a worldview that alone claimed to be true while condemning as wrong all opposing beliefs.
“Do you believe in the law of noncontradiction? That something cannot be both true and untrue at the same time?”
“Give me an example.”
“God cannot be the creator of the universe and at the same time not be the creator of the universe.”
“Sure, that makes sense.”
“Okay, so theism-the belief that there is a God who created the universe-and pantheism-the view that God is the universe-cannot both be true. This is one example of why you can’t rationally affirm that all religions are equally true. The law of noncontradiction forbids it. This does not mean that there cannot be elements of truth in all religions but that all are not equally true. I believe that the Catholic Church possesses the fullness of the truth and other religions are wrong inasmuch as they disagree with that fullness.”
What the Church Teaches
I then mentioned the passage in the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate:
The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men. Indeed, she proclaims, and ever must proclaim, Christ “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) in whom men may find the fullness of religious life, in whom God has reconciled all things to himself.
Stay strong in the faith, sister in Christ!
We cannot do religious works to get to Heaven (Jannah)
It is only through Jesus, we can truly be saved.
Nothing wrong with having a husband with a different religion, but don't leave your faith in Jesus because of your love for your husband.
I pray that our Heavenly Father keep you on the right path, may He keep your faith strong, may His wisdom and guidance be with you, in Jesus Name. Amen
In a Majority Indonesian Islamic Judisprudence It doesn't allow Interfaith Marriage , only A Minority does. If you want Interfaith Marriage with Him you can do It by Learning Islamic Jurispredence that Allows Interfaith Marriages , it is Mostly conducted abroad , like In London or Morocco for Example that doesn't follow the Shafii Mazhab. Other than That , you can Get married with him Without converting in A Catholic Church with the Dispensation that Allows interfaith Marriage ( Disparity of Cult ) . Good Luck on Your Journey , hope You love Your fiancee . Ps. Im Indonesian too :)
Always put Jesus our loving Saviour in your life and marriage.
This in singapore .
Religion not that strong in spore.
Religion just for celebration only, and food eating festival.
Spore, People crazy for money only.
I see.
I think this girl convert to muslim because she need to convert so that he can marry her husband,try ask her if her husband is no muslim ,did she willing to do so?
I am Muslim and my boyfriend is Catholic and he said we can't be together because of different religious now imma send this video to him
@hello it's been 10
months and we are still together
@hello i hope too. In shaa Allah
Yea why not u convert to Catholicism, in name of love shouldn’t him the one sacrificing right, u can compromise for him in name of love
In Indonesia, it's legit. I know this already by first hand knowledge, as my tour guide there (mind you, this was in 1994!) was a grown up male with mix parentage. So, for me it's not that abnormal. Maybe for others it's a bit off, because they never encountered it, so it's a big giant taboo. Their mufti allowed it...to break the bubbles, from one country to anothers....it differs. Not sure about the rules and regulations for now. But it does occurs. I think now, the man is in 50s
