Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 5 page paper discussing interfaith marriage in the Islamic religion. Interfaith marriage is not recommended in Muslims as Muslims are encouraged to find spouses with a similar religious outlook for the sake of future compatibility and for the raising of children. However the guidelines for marriage in the Qur’an do allow for some instances of intermarriage between Muslim men and non-Muslim women but not between Muslim women and non-Muslim men. For those couples who have interfaith marriages in the Islamic religion, mostly in the Western countries where there are fewer Islamic communities, they have reported success only when they allow themselves equal respect for each other’s religion, educate themselves about the practices of each other’s religion, maintain open communication regarding the practicing of religion, the raising of children and the recognition of holidays. Despite the liberal views of many interfaith couples, difficulties still arise in the raising and faith of the children. Muslim men who have children who have not be raised Muslim may have difficulty bringing them into Islamic states and retaining custody after a divorce. In the world today however and despite the strict guidelines of the Qur’an, interfaith marriages are occurring with the couples themselves largely deciding how to handle their choices for success in their marriage.

be raised Muslim may have difficulty bringing them into Islamic states and retaining custody after a divorce. In the world today however and despite the strict guidelines of the Quran,
interfaith marriages are occurring with the couples themselves largely deciding how to handle their choices for success in their marriage. The Quran (2:221) states that men "Do not marry unbelieving
women until they believe. A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you ... Unbelievers beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons
by His Grace to the garden of bliss and forgiveness. And He makes His signs clear to mankind, that they may receive admonition". Muslim men however are allowed to marry
chaste or pious Jewish and Christian women called the "People of the Book" in the Quran as it is believed that Jews and Christians "share similar religious outlooks - a
belief in One God, following the commandments of Allah, a belief in revealed scripture, etc." (Islam, 2003). The Quran (5:5) states that in some cases "Lawful to you in marriage
