Assalamu Alaykum brother, I watched the podcast, I was wondering what Muslim men in the anglosphere who cannot make hijrah should do about marriage as Muslim women here do not study Islam systematically and do not see it's importance they think they are learned without it and become angry if you encourage them to study, they have not studied aqidah tahawiya or a text of the fiqh of prayer and purification in any madhab. My concern is that if I teach them what is Islam really is they most likely will become apostates. What should we do? This is a problem for many Muslim brothers here.
ReplyDeleteWa alaykum Assalaam wa Rahmatullah,
ReplyDeleteFor advice, all I can say is the following:
1) Put your trust in Allah and constantly work on bettering yourself. (If you focus on yourself, whatever you seek will come your way. Conquering inner enemies causes the defeat of external enemies.)
2) Make constant and fervent dua to Allah to grant you a good wife. (They do exist!)
3) Travel and try to expose yourself to different Muslim cultures.
As a final point, you cannot make anyone an apostate. Anyone who apostates was always going to do so, he was just waiting for the right moment or trigger.
And Allah knows best.
JazakAllah Khair
DeleteI would greatly appreciate your opinion on scholars such as Abdal Hakim Murad of the UK, and Hamza Yusuf of the USA. These two scholars are among the most influential in the Anglosphere and claim a background in traditional Islamic education.
