Letter Of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Letter To The Monks Of St. Catherine Monastery To all friend nairalanders, here is the stands of our beloved prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) on Christians. This is the relationship between Christian and Muslim as far as Islam is concern. The act of violence by some few people in the north is not the call of Islam, but a misguided belief. Islam preaches peace,love and Unity. LETTER OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH) LETTER TO THE MONKS OF ST. CATHERINE MONASTERY, ! This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them. Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are the judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil, God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).” |

So when did Mo send this letter? Was it written before he went to paradise or did he send it to you recently? If he sent it recently, was it by email, text msg, ups, fedex or did he just post it on twitter.if none of the above, did he just send it directly to your brain. Maybe he dictated it to you in a cave like jibril did to him. He probably hand delivered it to your house and told you to post on nairaland. Insha allah may the grace of the prophet be with you. PS: there's a guy called yefet/goodvine who posts letters from jesus,i asked him for d address but he didnt respond,so im requesting you tell mohammed to tell Osun to email me or write me a letter to because i still love her. |

while i cannot deny or confirm that the Prophet sent this letter,i must clarify a clause attributed to the letter:
if a muslim who permanently marries a non-muslim woman,that woman must willingly accept islam as her faith for marriage to happen.a muslim man cannot permanently marry a non-muslim woman who will bear him children if she is not muslim or if she remains in her own religion.the same goes for females. i do not deny the goodwill of the Prophet nor do i question the fact that the Prophet was very tolerant of other faiths.the propaganda made today against him is to attack the justice of the Prophet. all that said,the religion of islam calls for a non-muslim woman to embrace the muslim faith of her muslim husband for them to be married.so therefore there is something wrong with that clause in the letter allegedly written by the Prophet.maybe we should examine the orginal letter.i will try and do more research on this letter and if i come up with any new info i will post it. one possibility which comes to mind is the timing of the letter.possibly the letter was written before any verse prohibiting permanent marriage to a non-muslim while the non-muslim keeps her faith was revealed.that can be seen because many muslim women including the 3 "daughters" of the Prophet were married to non-muslims before the revelation of a verse forbidden muslim women to remain married to idol worshippers.that is the only possibility which can explain the clause relating to marriage in the letter.at our present time a muslim,male or female, is forbidden to marry a non-muslim except that the non-muslim willingly without compulsion embraces the islamic faith for the sake of Allah and not simply for the sake of marriage. |

For a Muslim male to marry a female from the people of the book (christian) is permissible The Quran in Sura 5:5 says: . . . Likewise you are permitted to marry chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste women among the people who were given the Scripture [Jews and Christians] . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 427) This verse, as noted, says that Islam permits Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women who are Christians and Jews, but a Jewish or Christian man may not marry a Muslim woman. It's permissible but it's deemed as makruh tahriman outside Dar al-Islam; i.e. the marriage woudl be sinful, but would still be valid. [Hanafi Madhhab ruling] The Holy Qur’an has placed no restriction if a Muslim man wants to marry a Christian lady. It however has commanded the believers not to marry anyone who associates other partners or deities with God (polytheists) as He is one and alone nor should the believers marry any convicted criminal of adultery. Apart from these two restrictions, the Shari‘ah (Law of God) has placed no restriction on marriage contracts of the believers. However, this does not mean that we should not use our sense and reason to choose the person we intend to marry. Indeed, there are many things involved that must be considered before a couple decides to get married. The foremost factor is that there should be harmony between both in terms of their financial status and religious set up. Religion is not a trivial matter to be ignored while choosing your prospective husband. Marriage means that two persons are going to live together for the rest of their lives. Do you think that there would be no conflict on religious issues? What about the children that God will bless you with? What religion would they be taught? You may think that such matters are of less importance to modern minds. But I assure you that these matters will of be concern to you both once you come out of the euphoria that people experience before marriage. As for your saying ‘Does the Qur'an say that the Christian women have to convert to Islam and gain knowledge about it to marry the Muslim men?’, I would like to tell you that the Holy Qur’an does not hold religion as a matter of petty importance. Why would Qur’an ask a lady to renounce her religion for some mortal man? Religion is something very personal in nature. It is a deep relationship — a connection more strong than the one which is established between a man and his wife. It is about God and His servants; it is about God and you. There is no man between you and Him. You accept Him on a very personal basis; you surrender before Him of your own accord. Did you know that Islam gives so much respect to Christians because of the fact that they believe in one God? The bitterest thing is however that they have devised ‘Three’ for the One that is alone and devoid of any partner whosoever. He is One and is the Creator and Master of all humans. Islam calls all the Christians to accept the fact that was also propagated by Jesus (sws) as the Lord is One. What I wish to say is that religion is something that should be chosen with a serious mind and after appreciating the value of the specific teachings that this religion promotes. Islam does not force people to convert. It is the truth that every willing person is welcome to embrace. And Allah knows best. @lagos shia, do not make impermissible what the prophet made permissible. u may advice people not to do it not because it i not permissible,but because it as some negative impact on the children. |

Tafsir from Holy Quran 5:5 does not say you can "marry all/any of the females from the people of the book" or that we can marry "from them" but "among them":

vedaxcool: What? You want them to promote incontrovertible evidence that Islam does not preach violence when majority of them rely on it being violent as their major tool to BASH the religion. |
