[quote]Assalaamu Aleikum Shadia and All,

I know this post is late, but I have just come online recently to Studying Islam.org.

I would like just to say that it is very unfortunate that many Msulims share your mother's view of Muslim interracial marriages; however, the view is extremely anti-Islam. All Muslims are members of the Ummah,and we are untied in our belief and in worshippig Allah the One and Only. It is a shame that parents sometimes are more cncerned of what others will think if the child marries a Muslim of another race. The most I have seen are objections when the woman is Arab, Indian, or Pakistani and she wants to marry a Muslim who is black or African American or simply, too dark for her family. This happens for men as well who have wanted to wed darker or black Muslimas. Maybe it would be a good idea to read the Prophet's (sws) Last Sermon together with your mother. NshaAllah this would remind her that an Arab is no better or differnet than a non-Arab Muslim. Your mother and all who disapprove of interracial Muslim unions, should care more about what makes the individual happy, who will treat them right, and who will be the best mate with whom to complete half your deen. There Islamic union where each partners guides and encourages the other to be a better Muslim and stay in the straight path, is the marriage any Muslim parent should want for their child, regardless of the skin color. How trivial an argument color is. Shadia, you stated that this African American Muslim has taught you so mush and guided you back to the correct oath, while strengthening your iman. I say to you, regardless of what your mother thinks, you have found a good Muslim. NshaAllah your mother will see how happy and righteous your marriage with him is, and she will have nothing but good words and blessing for you both. Make yourself happy sister. I sincerely wish you all the best in this most unfortunate situation.

Fi Amani Allah
