Facts! I know a lot of them and they disown they’re children that marry black people. You can convert as a black person and they have no problem with that. But try marrying one of they’re own and watch how they react to it
I hope you know you basically just said “He’s one of the good ones”. Don’t let single experience define your expectations for a whole group of people and expose your biases, that’s just plain ignorance

Racism in the ummah is a serious issue! Everyone puts their culture over religion, it’s so bizarre to me as a white Australian revert 😂 I think born Muslims have a lot to learn from reverts, we come to Islam from a clear perspective, not influenced by cultural practices.
exactly that's the major issue ..here in the indian subcontinent people kill if their child asks for a marriage outside their caste...here we have castes in muslims like hindus have...they dont understand it's a cultural practice and continue to be ignorant
@@Syedafathima7182 as Muslims, as Ahlus Sunnah Wal’Jamaa’ah, we don’t necessarily marry for love either. We marry to grow closer to Allah ﷻ and to better serve & worship The Almighty. That’s something this generation tends to forget.
All you need to know is that Salman Al Farsi (Persian), Suhayb Ar Rumi (blonde haired, colored eyes. They called him Suhayb the Roman, most likely mixed race), Bilal Al Habshi (Ethiopian, black guy who used to be a slave) were all part of the inner circle of the Prophet SAWW. They all spoke with accents, at the same time, were considered great authority in Quranic teaching. They are also among the most highly regarded companions of the Prophet as well. As soon as you embrace Islam, you're part of the community. And everyone is a brother and sister. Diversity is encouraged in Islam.

Im an American Muslim in Love with an Egyptian. When God speaks of that hes created us in pairs I feel that with her. But she has kept herself apart from falling because of judgement of her family here and back home. Ive prayed on this many times. The pain is so heavy. It's in Allahs hands.
I am Sri Lankan recently I met a Moroccan girl we both are like to get married and I told my parents about her alhamdulillah my parents are ok with it. I wish everyone to have understanding parents Inshallha.
I am commenting after 2 years. Since you’re so curious Yes we are married and happy too 😮 when people visiting to other countries they should visit with good intentions not going to a club and find women and complain she didn’t treat me well. I am not telling you individually I am saying in general.
My husband is white (Irish and French) and I am black. We are both born and raised in America. Our parents are too. My parents are the ones who objected to us being together. His parents were more than okay with him wanting to be with me. My husband and his parents are from Massachusetts which is north in the US and my parents and I are from Georgia which is south in the US. My parents objected because of the experience they had and things they seen in the South when they were kids. My Dad didn’t have good things to say about white people because of his experience as a child and his mother’s experience. My dad eventually warmed up to the idea and gave him a chance. My husband and I are still together 15 years later. He is so amazing. I learned that my parents based their initial decision off of their experiences with white people and that they weren’t just trying to enforce what they wanted on me nor were they trying to be mean. May Allah bless those seeking marriage with good believing spouses. May he guide us all and help us in our decisions.
I have a serious question- i oftwn hear you nees consent from both parents to get in a relationship or to gett msrried , why do i often hear that the parent choose your partner for you in Islam? That is insane to me.
I am an American Muslim of Syrian descent, and my wife is a Pakistani Muslim of Punjabi descent. We have been happily married together, since July 2022.
I wish he was my dad! 😭for the all dads and brother reading this comment please don’t be harsh it’s already so difficult to find a spouse so stop being too judgemental!
To be frank, It speaks more to what kind or child you are. No matter how our parents are, Muhammed ﷺ asks us to respect our elders, especially our parents, no matter how they are. Ibrahim alayhi was-salaam prayed for his father to enter Jannah despite the atrocities his father committed against him and against Islam's rise. And so, we must emulate their footstepz and strive to be as they are. After all, your father has been through things you don't know of and I'm sure cares about you, even if he does not express it in a way that is beneficial to both of you. Peace be upon you.
I tried to talk to my dad and mom about marrying an American/Hispanic. They refused it he talked to my dad my brother and 2 of my uncles to try to get them to see the good in him and no one gave him a chance.. I married him without their consent.. it’s years later now my mother loves him he’s a great Muslim better than some of my own born Muslim cousins. He made me wear my hijab and is making me a better Muslim overall. However a lot of my family was talking really bad about me some of my family still don’t talk to me to this day
In my first marriage, he was the same nationality as me. I was pushed to marry him and every red flag I saw, I was told I am being ridiculous. In the end he was a liar, cheater, used me to come to America, just a big disgrace to humankind. I divorced him less than 1 year of marriage. I knew in my heart something was wrong and all I could do was pray to Allah. If I survived those dark times it was through my faith in Allah. I didn’t know it at the time but Allah had better plans for me. 3 years after that I met my now husband. He is not the same nationality as me but the same religion. Elhamdilillah I have 2 beautiful babies with this wonderful man. I truly feel blessed. For anyone suffering out there please do you duas, keep faith in Allah. It will all make sense one day. May Allah bless you all.
Your story sounds very similar to my current situation. I hope someday i get to have the same outcome as you and have a good future husband who will love and cherish me, Insha Allah. 🤲🏼
I'm not muslim, but have recently been wanting to read Quran and learn more about Islam...I've been enjoying listening to Mufti Menks videos and find his explanation of Islam very refreshing
Salam sister! May God make it easy for you, Ameen. Imam Omar suleiman is also someone to listen to aswell, he’s very good at explaining things mashaAllah. Also let me know if you have any questions about Islam or if you need help with anything 😊
may God bless you with the strength to read and listen to the generous Quran and may He bless you with understanding by it and may He bless you with guidance to the straight path thereby in sha'a Allah
If only the people who don’t let their children marry out of race/culture put Islam first! It’s so heartbreaking when you really want to be with someone and spend the rest of your life together but the family won’t accept it..
As our generational differences come to an end, through the visions of the new generations, mixing with other cultures will be viewed optimistically and encouraged in'shaa'allah
I always had an issue with people saying you do it the wrong way first and then try to halalize it. Ask yourself why your child couldn't come forward about it to you in the beginning? What made them fear your reaction? Why did you push them to take the haram route? When you have a good relationship with your child where respect is given both ways, where you try to understand your child and the world it lives in, when your child knows that you will give them the best advice for their happiness and not your reputation in your community then they will come clean with things from the start, then they will do it the halal way. It's easy to blame children for their wrong doings but it's hard to ask why they went that route. Respectfully to Menk tho love him may Allah bless him.
Totally agree ! There is this common theme of a lack of transparency / & communication amongst children and their parents… which I assume results in the child keeping everything inside for so long until they’re urged to perhaps share their feelings and communication with someone who may listen and seek to understand them, more than their parents offered to do… just my 2 cents !
I partly agree and disagree. This is never a one-sided thing, the blame goes both ways. But yes, it is of utmost importance that parents create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment for both parties to discuss these life topics. Obviously parents must let their kids know that relationships outside of marriage are haraam but also explain to them and widen their perspective on why it so, and what they can do to stay on the right path. At the same time, this is a test of sorts for the "children" assuming they have reached puberty which means they are considered adults and are accountable for their actions by Islamic standards. Just because they had a non-supportive environment at home doesn't mean their actions are excusable and justifiable. We have to be unbiased and objective in these dealings, and like I said, the responsibility goes both ways.
@@shyramunas I agree sister. It does work both ways. I should have been clearer, you summed up my point nicely , in regard to the benefits a comfortable and non-judgemental environment can do for the both parties to improve their communication !
A nice girl proposed to me which was shocking since usually it's the opposite. She is Arab and I'm East African. Things quickly went down hill when her mother intervened after she said she will approve. Not saying Arabs are racist but that's what happened. I was considered a son to her mother growing up but after her daughter wanted to marry me, I became an outsider.
There is a lot of racism in the old world. I commend mufti for talking about this. he obviously knows it’s a serious problem. It would be nice if people started respecting others based upon their integrity rather than their status or what kind of car they drive. People are so lost
This happened to me recently. Same culture but just from different states but the father said no. Everything happens for a reason. May Allah choose what’s best for us.
please make dua for my brother Akram married a christian women who is learning islam Ya Allah guide them both through the right path of islam, ya Allah bless them happiness and contentment in their marriage forever ya Allah make it easy for his wife to understand and be guided into islam Ameen🤲🏻
@@mr.beardedtipguy4454 my brother don’t say inshallah when making a dua. Mufti menk even made a video on it, inshallah means god willing or if Allah wills it to be, and when you are making a dua, you don’t say, “oh Allah please let this happen if you want,” no, you call out with conviction, you say “ya Allah make this happen for me.”
MASHA ALLAH brilliant way of advice to convince the parents n caring n Amazing guidance. Beautiful message. MAY ALLAH SWT guide every parent and every children as well. Aameen.
Some parents refuse for their daughters to marry like someone like who works in warehouse and his deen is in the right place.They say yes to someone who is like a doctor and his deen is not there. Some these Parents are making haram easy and halal hard
Some parents refuse their sons to marry an educated muslimah, firm in Deen but is from Africa even if she loves their son. May Allah grant us all sabr.
This bro like the Muslim may be working at a warehouse or as a trucker and practicing his Deen but they choose someone of higher standard with less of the DEEN itself.
I was declined by my parents because I was going to marry a Christian woman. She was ready to take Shahadah but my parents blocked it because of their cultural beliefs. They couldn't accept a woman from who was Black from Jamaica. Basically my parents stopped me from getting a taste of Jannah. But InshaAllah I strive everyday to get there no matter what.
You’re allowed to disobey your parents. Love and respect them yes, but you’re an adult, you don’t have to obey them if they’re contradicting the faith. Subhan Allah, your parents aren’t gods. “No” is not a haram word to say to your parents if they’re in the wrong. Even Ibrahim (PBUH) had to cut ties with his father who refused to stop worshipping idols. Idols aren’t just figures of wood and clay. An idol can also be a celebrity, a president or king, money, social status, or culture. If your parents worship culture more than they worship Allah (SWT), they are committing idolatry. Culture is a beautiful thing, but it can’t be used to cause people suffering. You don’t have to listen to parents who are stopping you from marrying the woman you love because they’re idolatrous and worship race and culture. Put Allah (SWT) and your heart and soul first. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you let idolatrous parents steal your happiness.
BINGO! I have witnessed this so many times. When it comes to black people Islam goes out the window for them. They are literally prepared to disown they’re children. This needs to be spoken about more it’s disgusting
@@TimtheEnchanter25 There’s always that one person who’s gotta treat parents like they’re a replacement for God. Honoring, and blindly obeying to the point of sacrificing happiness, are two different things.
It's been 7 years since I became a Muslim, and today I decided that if I have to marry a woman then I hope it will be a woman converted to Islam because there is a serious problem with the families who are lucky enough to be born Muslim.
That’s the way to go. Have a fresh slate with someone who has the courage to disobey their parents by converting to a religion that speaks to her heart. Make your own traditions as a family together, within the bounds of the Quran and word of Allah (SWT). You don’t need to answer to backwards people from any culture or race or religion or social status. Be with someone who speaks to your heart who won’t be more married to their parents or friends than she is to you.
I am german and a converted muslim. Fell in love with a muslima from another country and have only experienced love and acceptance from their family. Cultures are there to share
I have been told by Arab muslim men - I am not good enough for marriage because i have dark skin and my race is not Arab - hence I am not worthy of marriage to them because they are racially superior. I have also encountered other groups of muslims who feel superior based on their skin colour or nationality. I am not saying all muslims are like this . But as a practicing muslim lady - i find racism among muslims to be the worst. This is very sad. ☹
I am English and I married an Egyptian woman, her mother had passed away and her father had dementia . Her only close relatives where her sisters, I decided to revert to Islam and feel it was the best thing I did, her family accepted me and are very loving and I love her family including her cousins, and they love me. We have been married 15 years.
I’m an Indian, I married a Palestinian-Lebanese Arab. Alhamdulillah. Race shouldn’t be an issue. Humans cognitive abilities are the same, and so is their BS. At the end of the day, if you both value deen more than the culture, there shouldn’t be issues.
No it's not, lol. So different races have different skin tones, organ shapes, bone density, etc, we evolved all these things differently based on our environments, but you actually believe that somehow, everyone is the same when it comes to their brains, their intelligence and personality? Do you ACTUALLY believe that?
MashAllah. I thank you for this as I am having problems with obtaining my mother’s blessing to my choice in spouse. I am being called Jahil for wanting to marry someone who is a non Muslim but is willing to convert. I am not perfect but i want to be better Muslim everyday. May Allah SWT ease my troubles and May my mother slowly become open minded. Aamin
My sister, my brother, and I have grown up in a Western country, far from my parents' Muslim country. We have met wonderful people, who respect us and accept us with our culture, customs, and religion. But we have decided to not get married, because our parents say that if we marry non-Muslims they will never talk to us again. It is a very sad life, and I am sure that it is not what Allah has dictated for us, but the people who speak in his name. It will happen to more and more people and it breaks my heart.
In Malaysia, mix marriage is normal. Be it Muslims or non-Muslims. Big family of my friend will gather for Chinese New Year, Aidilfitri, Deepavali & Christmas because their family is so diverse, but they can live in harmony. That is one thing I love about Malaysia. Alhamdulillah, this is all from Allah.
@@FahadFSA Yes. Malays are accepting of other races. As long as that person is kind & willing to practice Islam, we can accept them in our family. Malay culture has a lot of similarity with Islamic practice. That's why it's only normal for Sultans to accept Islam & now all Malays are Muslims. Alhamdulillah, that's huge blessing from Allah.
A friend of mine met a pakistani woman who asked him to come see her parents. The parents were preparing to meet with him until allegedly the woman told her parents that the man she’s met is BLACK. The meeting was called off. In hindsight, i told him not to waste his time so I wasn’t shocked. Ps: this guy is one of the most devout muslim men I’ve ever met in my life.
This is wonderful! I know a Muslim woman who married a Christian man, and they live happily with their kids attending both Church and Mosque. The man is still Christian and the woman is still Muslim. It's great to see acceptance and diversity!
And everybody's always trying to say that Muslims are bad I know many Muslim people who appreciate other cultures just like this guy appreciates other cultures
We are all humans regardless of where we come from, my husband is pakistani and I am english. I don't mind who my children marry as long as they do halal way and they are happy that is the main thing!
@@rafaelw8115marry the halal way but if they don't what can I do exactly? I would just be upset, so this is why I'm teaching them right from wrong.I do not force them yet I am responsible for guiding them.
Probably the best hadith you’ll ever hear 🤯 Aws bin Aws narrated: Allah's Messenger said to me: "Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, and bathes completely, and goes early, arriving early, gets close and listens and is silent, there will be for him in every step he take the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer). At-Tirmidhi (496) *Sahih hadith*
Really Appreciate your thoughts . Very Rare that some of the leaders and some so called great personalities speak like this But according to me this thought is in right direction Someone must come ahead to bring the change. I really appreciate Menk for his words and thoughts May Allah bless him.
Race shouldn't even be a deciding factor. If you feel a person is not good enough based on their race then you are not fit to be a Muslim. Allah judges you based on your deeds not your appearance. Marry who you want and be happy. Inshallah
If an asian man steals something He is going to get the punisment as Same as an european. What Allah meant was that everybody is going to get the same outcome for sins.
we're both pakistani, interested in each other..but my dad still refuses to get to know his family and justifies it by saying "we don't know them" duas please :( (we also met once)
Religion and culture is not the same . Ur culture should align with who u marry. Ur values must be the same . Outside race have more to overcome, family, language , tradition are all eventually gonna overturn . Statistically different race marriages have larger divorce rate
I believe that you can marry anyone and I mean someone who is outside your culture, but she or he has to be Muslim. That’s the only requirement, The spouse you get married to doesn’t have to be from your own ethnicity, she can be from anywhere. And I believe that racism isn’t part of our religion Islam. Because it teaches us to love one another.
Most important is the religion and character. If the person is a revert to islam - has good character and practising Islam - this ok for me. If the person is "born muslim" - same thing. Culture is not so important - as long as the person does not go against the deen.
i was born a hindu and i am in love with a muslim girl and i respect and she will be the mother of my children and no force change my mind. i respect all religions and will ocntinue to do so till i die
Jubayr ibn Mut’im reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “He is not one of us who calls to tribalism. He is not one of us who fights for the sake of tribalism. He is not one of us who dies following the way of tribalism.”
Sir I lost my parents passed away last year im finding difficult to lead my life I'm a Christian im a working women i found a person who truly loves me an cares for me he is a Muslim I'm gaining the trust on Allah i need ur prayers for me i don't know how to convince the parents of the boy i just don't need him i need his mom an dad as well i don't know how to approach his parents I'm scared if they will accept me or not please i need ur prayers sir 😭😭😭😭
There was girl in my life who promised she would marry me irrespective of our financial resources but now she tells me that she can't marry me bcz her family told her to get rid of me bcz we don't have our own house .
My fiancé he's Romanian and I'm Algerian-Spanish, I grew up on Muslim culture, but my fiancé he's not Muslim. But he loves me and he respects me and my culture. My parents they refuse it because he's not Muslim. Love has no race and no religion.
I always love to listen to you Mufti Menk. Because I love to learn as much as possible. In particular from an individual who knows much more than I do. But, with all do respect Mufti Menk, for the first time I feel a little disagreement due to my way of thinking conserning the reality of my life in relation to western woman up to a normal human (interaction) degree. In this case Dutch woman, because after all I live in The Netherlands. I don't know what it is. But their body language and the look in their eyes is so clear as possible. Even if I don't have the attention to behave in a not human way, I'm a gentleman, they think weird. Maybe, because I'm a muslim and they heard and saw a lot in the media, maybe for some other inhuman reason. Fact is that I can't have a Dutch woman as my wjfe, because we are not on the same human level. Respecting eachother is a basic factor. So, the Moroccan or Arabic woman is much better for me. This is, just like a lot of Moroccan men who do have the same thoughts, my opinion.
Take salam from those who are reading my comments.i am going to get married in the next months.please pray to our lord,Allah sothat i get the barakah of the marriage. Your prayer to Allah for me is important for our happy married life.May Allah grant happiness to everyone,amin
Well I dont know what to do. I am 30 year old female and my parents won't allow me to get married, my mother says I have to stick with her forever she is too attached to me and my sister ( she is 32 and unmarried still living at home) I do love my mum but I think she is being incredibly selfish, because my dad doesn't care for her she think its her children responsibly to be the husband, she refuses to see the truth.
Sounds like she has some serious fear of abandonment, therapy would help her work through whatever the root cause of it is and let you and your sister live your life without her making you feel guilty about "abandoning" her. Along with prayers of course
@@khadidjatoundiaye37 yep, she even calls me to sit downstairs with her if im in my bedroom and she wont stop calling unless i just sit there with her. its a waste of life just sitting lol she does pray but tbh he refuses to change, shed never go therapy. she doesnt have hobbies or friends, no social skills, all she does is wake up watch tv alll day nap works for 2 hours comes home sleep.
@@mizzcrazygal it's certainly more challenging to help someone who doesn't see or acknowledge they have a problem, let alone accept the help. Keep trying to talk to her about therapy and that there is no shame in getting help. Best of luck to you and her
But in my short experience I found people who speak arabic (native) feel superior over us (Bangladeshi). I feel so bad being Muslim and Bangladeshi at the same time for them. Our beliefs are same but they just reject us for ethnicity, they neglect us for ethnicity. That all bring us our language movement and liberation war on 71. I wish Allah could show them we are not bad muslim. They are too proud that almost all of the messengers and great people in Islam born in arab, arabic region. There are no bad Muslims just for language, and culture. I am Muslim too and I born in Bangladesh.
I feel ashamed as a Pakistani for all the discrimination against Bengali's till 1971. It is so painful to read the history of our arrogance and vanity. The Ummah just need to keep the Prophet's (PBUH) last sermon in mind.
@@FahadFSA all started by same arrogance brother. They said Bengali couldn't be language of Muslims. Still in this world, i found just being arabic alphabet in their native, they (not Pakistani only so many) think we are poor Muslims. Language, blood couldn't define love for islam definitely. I just feel down when I see no big name is from my side which seems Allah will definitely.
So glad my family is accepting. My aunt married a part West-Indian part Egyptian Muslim man. Completely different culture, language and race but my Grandparents were accepting of him as they talked to him, found him well mannered and nice. He is genuinely such an amazing man. People need to look beyond caste, culture and race when it comes to their children's happiness.
Of course it is. One of the most important aspect of any relationship is communication. What better way to communicate than your own native language.. Any relationship requires getting along and working out differences. Even when you're married to someone from same culture, each individual and life style would be different and u would have to make adjustments for your partner. When you marry or date someone belonging to an entirely different culture, language etc it requires all the more adjustments and sacrifices.
I am black and his Dad doesn't want a black woman for him. He tried with Arab women before but it didn't work. His parents want him to get married but he doesn't want to marry whoever. He is not happy and I can't understand how muslims can think like that. Is a black person bad or lower than them? I am a muslim like them.
I’m a revert who’s half Catholic Irish and half Native American who was raised atheist-Jewish, so I will definitely be marrying outside of my unique culture and race. (Only ones who are in my unique genetics are my uncles daughters, so that’s why wkwkwk)
Good luck to you! May Allah bless you and ease all your tasks for you. Pls do pray for me too. Since Allah really loves reverts and forgives all their previous sins once they revert.
I find it disgusting how south Asians don’t let their kids marrying black Muslims. Sometimes you meet a person who is on deen and great but black and what automatically are we meant to just think no I don’t have a future because my parents will say no cos he is black?? I chose myself first tomorrow my parents won’t be there in my grave or my house. When I get divorced the community won’t come to my aid. I avoided marrying someone out of my culture once and then it never worked out with the second guy and bought me back to the first guy I rejected due to race . Today I’m battling to marry this person and parents saying no cos of race. I know that parents outlooks are good but when they just care for money dunya and nothing Islamic their opinions don’t matter to me
Marrying someone with a different cultural or ethnic background isn't going to be without any problems. Just a simple example even a Muslim couple of Arabic background but from two differing Arabic countries like from from Algeria and Palestine will have to deal with difficulties at the beginning. From using different words for the same thing or different dishes or or or the list is long but both will have to learn to deal with it and to take a bit from the others "plate of life" always keeping in mind that their Imaan is uniting them and that their marriage is a blessing from Allah swt to bring out Insha'allah a better and open minded new generation of Muslims who think of the whole idea of Islam instead of national or cultural aspects.
so now it s a big deal if we name things differently? within few years in marriage, both would have learned so much about each other's cultures , language and customs. We all come in this world knowing nothing and we leave with nothing except our deeds.
Who cares as long as they re HUMAN. It your body So it make it your decision. NEVER LET SOMEBODY MAKE THAT DECISION FOR YOU. they made their decision now you make your decision. IT YOUR LIFE. WAKE UP
This is literally the first and only Muslim I've seen speaking in this way. If they were all like him there wouldn't be a problem.
Facts! I know a lot of them and they disown they’re children that marry black people. You can convert as a black person and they have no problem with that. But try marrying one of they’re own and watch how they react to it

My husband is white (Irish and French) and I am black. We are both born and raised in America. Our parents are too. My parents are the ones who objected to us being together. His parents were more than okay with him wanting to be with me. My husband and his parents are from Massachusetts which is north in the US and my parents and I are from Georgia which is south in the US. My parents objected because of the experience they had and things they seen in the South when they were kids. My Dad didn’t have good things to say about white people because of his experience as a child and his mother’s experience. My dad eventually warmed up to the idea and gave him a chance. My husband and I are still together 15 years later. He is so amazing.
I learned that my parents based their initial decision off of their experiences with white people and that they weren’t just trying to enforce what they wanted on me nor were they trying to be mean.
May Allah bless those seeking marriage with good believing spouses. May he guide us all and help us in our decisions.
Ma sha Allah. Bad experience can mess up someones judgement. But alhamdulillah it all went well with the two of you!
ameen. ofc i understand your parents perspective. may allah bless your marriage and keep you both happy. ameen x

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I have a serious question- i oftwn hear you nees consent from both parents to get in a relationship or to gett msrried , why do i often hear that the parent choose your partner for you in Islam? That is insane to me.
I am an American Muslim of Syrian descent, and my wife is a Pakistani Muslim of Punjabi descent. We have been happily married together, since July 2022.
How I convince the girl father I also live in Punjab and want to marry out of culture and country but he is Muslim
Alhamdulilah
Surprised your technically an arab
@@shansiddiqui4741 I am surprised too. I really do not see myself as having Arab in me.
You’re arab/ Asian so they don’t have a problem with that. When you’re black that’s when it’s a big big problem. Racist people
Am a Christian, but since I started watching u.... am drowning close to God more than before, u really a blessing to many. 🙏🙏🙏

I wish he was my dad! 😭for the all dads and brother reading this comment please don’t be harsh it’s already so difficult to find a spouse so stop being too judgemental!
"I wish he was my dad"... That speaks volumes about the kind of dad you actually have...
@@sallieceelee5660 unfortunately not every son of Adam is as educated as this man so yeah….
Dude I wish mufti was my dad right now lol.
To be frank, It speaks more to what kind or child you are. No matter how our parents are, Muhammed ﷺ asks us to respect our elders, especially our parents, no matter how they are.
Ibrahim alayhi was-salaam prayed for his father to enter Jannah despite the atrocities his father committed against him and against Islam's rise. And so, we must emulate their footstepz and strive to be as they are.
After all, your father has been through things you don't know of and I'm sure cares about you, even if he does not express it in a way that is beneficial to both of you.
Peace be upon you.
@@Al-Baqarah-02-256Stop with the gaslighting. Some people have a self interest when it comes to their children future because of ego.
I tried to talk to my dad and mom about marrying an American/Hispanic. They refused it he talked to my dad my brother and 2 of my uncles to try to get them to see the good in him and no one gave him a chance.. I married him without their consent.. it’s years later now my mother loves him he’s a great Muslim better than some of my own born Muslim cousins. He made me wear my hijab and is making me a better Muslim overall.

@Tiseir A. my profile pic is me and my husband
@Tiseir A. my comments keep getting deleted
In my first marriage, he was the same nationality as me. I was pushed to marry him and every red flag I saw, I was told I am being ridiculous. In the end he was a liar, cheater, used me to come to America, just a big disgrace to humankind. I divorced him less than 1 year of marriage. I knew in my heart something was wrong and all I could do was pray to Allah. If I survived those dark times it was through my faith in Allah. I didn’t know it at the time but Allah had better plans for me. 3 years after that I met my now husband. He is not the same nationality as me but the same religion. Elhamdilillah I have 2 beautiful babies with this wonderful man. I truly feel blessed. For anyone suffering out there please do you duas, keep faith in Allah. It will all make sense one day. May Allah bless you all.

I'm not muslim, but have recently been wanting to read Quran and learn more about Islam...I've been enjoying listening to Mufti Menks videos and find his explanation of Islam very refreshing
Nouman Ali khan and Mufti Menk are my favourite scholars. They make everything very easy to understand.
Salam sister! May God make it easy for you, Ameen. Imam Omar suleiman is also someone to listen to aswell, he’s very good at explaining things mashaAllah. Also let me know if you have any questions about Islam or if you need help with anything 😊

As our generational differences come to an end, through the visions of the new generations, mixing with other cultures will be viewed optimistically and encouraged in'shaa'allah
True
Yes, but wish it came alot sooner smh
I always had an issue with people saying you do it the wrong way first and then try to halalize it.
Ask yourself why your child couldn't come forward about it to you in the beginning? What made them fear your reaction? Why did you push them to take the haram route?
When you have a good relationship with your child where respect is given both ways, where you try to understand your child and the world it lives in, when your child knows that you will give them the best advice for their happiness and not your reputation in your community then they will come clean with things from the start, then they will do it the halal way. It's easy to blame children for their wrong doings but it's hard to ask why they went that route. Respectfully to Menk tho love him may Allah bless him.
Totally agree ! There is this common theme of a lack of transparency / & communication amongst children and their parents… which I assume results in the child keeping everything inside for so long until they’re urged to perhaps share their feelings and communication with someone who may listen and seek to understand them, more than their parents offered to do… just my 2 cents !
I partly agree and disagree. This is never a one-sided thing, the blame goes both ways. But yes, it is of utmost importance that parents create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment for both parties to discuss these life topics. Obviously parents must let their kids know that relationships outside of marriage are haraam but also explain to them and widen their perspective on why it so, and what they can do to stay on the right path.
At the same time, this is a test of sorts for the "children" assuming they have reached puberty which means they are considered adults and are accountable for their actions by Islamic standards. Just because they had a non-supportive environment at home doesn't mean their actions are excusable and justifiable. We have to be unbiased and objective in these dealings, and like I said, the responsibility goes both ways.
@@shyramunas I agree sister. It does work both ways. I should have been clearer, you summed up my point nicely , in regard to the benefits a comfortable and non-judgemental environment can do for the both parties to improve their communication !
@@shyramunas Well said.
@@shyramunas Nicely done.
A nice girl proposed to me which was shocking since usually it's the opposite. She is Arab and I'm East African. Things quickly went down hill when her mother intervened after she said she will approve. Not saying Arabs are racist but that's what happened. I was considered a son to her mother growing up but after her daughter wanted to marry me, I became an outsider.
Sadly this is very common in Arab households.
Are you muslim muslim marry muslim and others marry others it is very easy to understand
There is a lot of racism in the old world. I commend mufti for talking about this. he obviously knows it’s a serious problem. It would be nice if people started respecting others based upon their integrity rather than their status or what kind of car they drive. People are so lost

Some parents refuse for their daughters to marry like someone like who works in warehouse and his deen is in the right place.They say yes to someone who is like a doctor and his deen is not there. Some these Parents are making haram easy and halal hard
Some parents refuse their sons to marry an educated muslimah, firm in Deen but is from Africa even if she loves their son. May Allah grant us all sabr.
This bro like the Muslim may be working at a warehouse or as a trucker and practicing his Deen but they choose someone of higher standard with less of the DEEN itself.
So true!
I was declined by my parents because I was going to marry a Christian woman. She was ready to take Shahadah but my parents blocked it because of their cultural beliefs. They couldn't accept a woman from who was Black from Jamaica. Basically my parents stopped me from getting a taste of Jannah. But InshaAllah I strive everyday to get there no matter what.
You’re allowed to disobey your parents. Love and respect them yes, but you’re an adult, you don’t have to obey them if they’re contradicting the faith. Subhan Allah, your parents aren’t gods. “No” is not a haram word to say to your parents if they’re in the wrong. Even Ibrahim (PBUH) had to cut ties with his father who refused to stop worshipping idols. Idols aren’t just figures of wood and clay. An idol can also be a celebrity, a president or king, money, social status, or culture. If your parents worship culture more than they worship Allah (SWT), they are committing idolatry. Culture is a beautiful thing, but it can’t be used to cause people suffering. You don’t have to listen to parents who are stopping you from marrying the woman you love because they’re idolatrous and worship race and culture. Put Allah (SWT) and your heart and soul first. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you let idolatrous parents steal your happiness.
she showed that she was willed to give more than your parents wanted to give. I wish you all the best.
BINGO! I have witnessed this so many times. When it comes to black people Islam goes out the window for them. They are literally prepared to disown they’re children. This needs to be spoken about more it’s disgusting
Maybe you should listen to your parents, bud. They're wiser than you are, and that's the case with almost everyone's parents, too.
@@TimtheEnchanter25 There’s always that one person who’s gotta treat parents like they’re a replacement for God. Honoring, and blindly obeying to the point of sacrificing happiness, are two different things.
Have a big enough heart to love unconditionally, and a broad enough mind to embrace the differences that make each of us unique.
It's been 7 years since I became a Muslim, and today I decided that if I have to marry a woman then I hope it will be a woman converted to Islam because there is a serious problem with the families who are lucky enough to be born Muslim.
That’s the way to go. Have a fresh slate with someone who has the courage to disobey their parents by converting to a religion that speaks to her heart. Make your own traditions as a family together, within the bounds of the Quran and word of Allah (SWT). You don’t need to answer to backwards people from any culture or race or religion or social status. Be with someone who speaks to your heart who won’t be more married to their parents or friends than she is to you.
Truly you are a man of God, regardless of religious persuasion, may God bless you and yours.
I am german and a converted muslim. Fell in love with a muslima from another country and have only experienced love and acceptance from their family.
Cultures are there to share
Just curious, what convinced you to convert? What did you believe before you converted?
This is the type of open-minded islam we should all strive towards, thank you Mufti Menk
Thank you so much. This melt my heart. Love has no race ❤️
I have been told by Arab muslim men - I am not good enough for marriage because i have dark skin and my race is not Arab - hence I am not worthy of marriage to them because they are racially superior. I have also encountered other groups of muslims who feel superior based on their skin colour or nationality. I am not saying all muslims are like this . But as a practicing muslim lady - i find racism among muslims to be the worst. This is very sad. ☹

We have been married 15 years.

@HAIL SATAN How ????
@HAIL SATAN yes !!
I’m an Indian, I married a Palestinian-Lebanese Arab. Alhamdulillah. Race shouldn’t be an issue. Humans cognitive abilities are the same, and so is their BS. At the end of the day, if you both value deen more than the culture, there shouldn’t be issues.
How did you deal with family challenges/judgment? Or were they accepting?
Are you kafar?
No it's not, lol. So different races have different skin tones, organ shapes, bone density, etc, we evolved all these things differently based on our environments, but you actually believe that somehow, everyone is the same when it comes to their brains, their intelligence and personality? Do you ACTUALLY believe that?
MashAllah. I thank you for this as I am having problems with obtaining my mother’s blessing to my choice in spouse. I am being called Jahil for wanting to marry someone who is a non Muslim but is willing to convert. I am not perfect but i want to be better Muslim everyday. May Allah SWT ease my troubles and May my mother slowly become open minded. Aamin
My sister, my brother, and I have grown up in a Western country, far from my parents' Muslim country. We have met wonderful people, who respect us and accept us with our culture, customs, and religion. But we have decided to not get married, because our parents say that if we marry non-Muslims they will never talk to us again. It is a very sad life, and I am sure that it is not what Allah has dictated for us, but the people who speak in his name. It will happen to more and more people and it breaks my heart.

I believe that you can marry anyone and I mean someone who is outside your culture, but she or he has to be Muslim. That’s the only requirement, The spouse you get married to doesn’t have to be from your own ethnicity, she can be from anywhere. And I believe that racism isn’t part of our religion Islam. Because it teaches us to love one another.
Most important is the religion and character. If the person is a revert to islam - has good character and practising Islam - this ok for me. If the person is "born muslim" - same thing. Culture is not so important - as long as the person does not go against the deen.
i was born a hindu and i am in love with a muslim girl and i respect and she will be the mother of my children and no force change my mind. i respect all religions and will ocntinue to do so till i die

As a person of faith the wisdom spoken was truly good for my heart and ears.
Marry who you want, as long as you are happy. I married my own nationality. One race..Human..
So much easier when you are an atheist and are spared all these anxieties about observing some ancient customs
Love is colorless , it's not just something we say , it's something we do ! Love objectively , not subjectively .
Tabarakallah MashaAllah I wish some of our parents will actually listen and practice this.
There was girl in my life who promised she would marry me irrespective of our financial resources but now she tells me that she can't marry me bcz her family told her to get rid of me bcz we don't have our own house .

My fiancé he's Romanian and I'm Algerian-Spanish, I grew up on Muslim culture, but my fiancé he's not Muslim. But he loves me and he respects me and my culture. My parents they refuse it because he's not Muslim. Love has no race and no religion.
As a British Indian Punjabi , I appreciate your wisdom.
I always love to listen to you Mufti Menk.
Because I love to learn as much as possible.
In particular from an individual who knows much more than I do.
But, with all do respect Mufti Menk, for the first time I feel a little disagreement due to my way of thinking conserning the reality of my life in relation to western woman up to a normal human (interaction) degree.
In this case Dutch woman, because after all I live in The Netherlands.
I don't know what it is.
But their body language and the look in their eyes is so clear as possible.
Even if I don't have the attention to behave in a not human way, I'm a gentleman, they think weird.
Maybe, because I'm a muslim and they heard and saw a lot in the media, maybe for some other inhuman reason.
Fact is that I can't have a Dutch woman as my wjfe, because we are not on the same human level.
Respecting eachother is a basic factor.
So, the Moroccan or Arabic woman is much better for me.
This is, just like a lot of Moroccan men who do have the same thoughts, my opinion.

But in my short experience I found people who speak arabic (native) feel superior over us (Bangladeshi). I feel so bad being Muslim and Bangladeshi at the same time for them. Our beliefs are same but they just reject us for ethnicity, they neglect us for ethnicity. That all bring us our language movement and liberation war on 71. I wish Allah could show them we are not bad muslim. They are too proud that almost all of the messengers and great people in Islam born in arab, arabic region. There are no bad Muslims just for language, and culture.

That's what racist and traditional culture people forget and don't understand.
Of course it is. One of the most important aspect of any relationship is communication. What better way to communicate than your own native language..
Any relationship requires getting along and working out differences. Even when you're married to someone from same culture, each individual and life style would be different and u would have to make adjustments for your partner. When you marry or date someone belonging to an entirely different culture, language etc it requires all the more adjustments and sacrifices.

Forget marrying outside of culture and race, there are those who can't marry outside of their families and caste system! Pure ignorance
Islam first,no racism in Islam.
No racism and definitely, no nationalism!
I’m not a Muslim but he’s right, you never know who’s going to the mother of your grandchildren. So you need to meet them…be nice.
There is only ONE race, the Human Race.
Masha Allah you are the best scholar I've ever seen in my life. May God bless you and your family and live long to serve more people.
I’m a revert who’s half Catholic Irish and half Native American who was raised atheist-Jewish, so I will definitely be marrying outside of my unique culture and race. (Only ones who are in my unique genetics are my uncles daughters, so that’s why wkwkwk)
Good luck to you! May Allah bless you and ease all your tasks for you. Pls do pray for me too. Since Allah really loves reverts and forgives all their previous sins once they revert.
What a combination xD. Best wishes
I find it disgusting how south Asians don’t let their kids marrying black Muslims. Sometimes you meet a person who is on deen and great but black and what automatically are we meant to just think no I don’t have a future because my parents will say no cos he is black?? I chose myself first tomorrow my parents won’t be there in my grave or my house. When I get divorced the community won’t come to my aid. I avoided marrying someone out of my culture once and then it never worked out with the second guy and bought me back to the first guy I rejected due to race . Today I’m battling to marry this person and parents saying no cos of race. I know that parents outlooks are good but when they just care for money dunya and nothing Islamic their opinions don’t matter to me
Mixing races is evil

Marrying someone with a different cultural or ethnic background isn't going to be without any problems.
Just a simple example even a Muslim couple of Arabic background but from two differing Arabic countries like from from Algeria and Palestine will have to deal with difficulties at the beginning. From using different words for the same thing or different dishes or or or the list is long but both will have to learn to deal with it and to take a bit from the others "plate of life" always keeping in mind that their Imaan is uniting them and that their marriage is a blessing from Allah swt to bring out Insha'allah a better and open minded new generation of Muslims who think of the whole idea of Islam instead of national or cultural aspects.
You are totally right
so now it s a big deal if we name things differently? within few years in marriage, both would have learned so much about each other's cultures , language and customs. We all come in this world knowing nothing and we leave with nothing except our deeds.
Who cares as long as they re HUMAN. It your body So it make it your decision. NEVER LET SOMEBODY MAKE THAT DECISION FOR YOU. they made their decision now you make your decision. IT YOUR LIFE. WAKE UP
