Q. Can a Muslim girl convert to Christian?

Hello and welcome to NB lounge.
It is unfortunate that Islam is a way of life that many people and even Muslims isn't aware of.

First of all abt the bumiputra, that is a Malaysian law. I cannot comment on it and I am assuming many here can't as well coz we are from Singapore.

Secondly, you need to ask that girl if she is Muslim or not. To consider yourself as a Muslim is to declare that there is no deity worthy of worship except for Allah and that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the messenger of Allah. We also have to believe in all the messengers that came before including prophet Jesus, Moses, Abraham,Noah, etc. peace be upon them all. There are other pillars of Islam, but this is one of the beginning basic to enter into the Islamic brotherhood. Islam also mean attaining peace through the submission of god. That means whatever god command you to do, you will submit and obey, because he is god and HE is perfect and knows all.

Now if this gal claims all the above, then she will most willingly not marry a non Muslim because God says that a believing woman is not allowed to marry a non Muslim. Don't be offended by this. My take on this is because a woman is given a lot of rights in Islam. It will be very difficult for a non Muslim to uphold her rights as well as rules if the husband is a non Muslim. Even some Muslim husband find it difficult because of ignorance. I won't go into these details of what these rights are but feel free to research abt this. There also rights of children, rights of your parents her parents etc. Also if a conflict should happen there are prescribed steps that should be taken and also divorce. You can't just go to the court and divorce, there are steps and procedures. There are procedure for many things when it comes to marriage. Basically Islam protects everyone's rights and makes it easy to have a harmonious family if Muslim learn about Islam properly.

There isn't any other religion which has this kind of details. I would recommend you to take a look at Islam and not its people. The best example is the prophet Muhammad pbuh and the best book is the Quran.

Anyway if she was never a Muslim to start with, then there is no question of if she can be of a different religion. Now how that affect the law in Malaysia, I cannot answer that. I can give you an Islamic technicality perspective only.

Hope that helps.

Peace be upon you snowerkid,

Firstly, I need to get the facts right, your heading says Hindu boy loves this Muslim girl. Then you go on to ask if it's possible for the girl to convert to be a Christian?

Anyway, she can become a non-Muslim. But it is not encouraged in Islam.

I myself am a convert and I willingly chose to be a Muslim, not because I wanted to marry a Muslim Girl or Marry 4 Wives. But I find it a Logical religion or a matter of fact a way of life from living to dying.and after death.

She can go to the Syariah Court (Islamic Court) to present her case to Renounce Islam.

It sounds easy but it's not.

The issue of Muslim apostasy (rejection in word or deed of their former religion) is very sensitive. In 1998 after a controversial incident of attempted conversion, the Government stated that apostates (i.e., Muslims who wish to leave or have left Islam for another religion) would not face government punishment so long as they did not defame Islam after their conversion.

However, whether the very act of conversion was an "insult to Islam" was not clarified at the time.

General interpretation about the freedom of religion as described in the constitution in Malaysia is that a person has a right to practice his or her religion freely.

This freedom does not grant a person a right to change his or her religion "at a whim and fancy".

For example a Muslim who wants to convert to another religion must get an explicit permission from a syariah court.

The syariah courts RARELY grant such requests, except in cases where a person has actually lived his or her whole adult life as a person of different religion, and only wants to change the official documents to reflect this fact.

The Islamic interpretation of the situation is that only the syariah courts can decide who is a Muslim and who is not.

A person does not have such freedom, and so cannot have a say in the judgement given in a syariah court.


Anyway, hope you find the guided path snowerkid.

Well, bro snowerkid,

Anyway, it is stated in the holy Qur'an, there is no compulsion in religion.

There is no compulsion for man to accept the TRUTH. But it is certainly a shame upon the human intellect when man is not even interested in finding out as to what is the TRUTH!.

Islam teaches that God has given man the faculty of reason and therefore expects man to reason things out objectively and systematically for himself. To reflect and to question and to reflect.

Nobody should press you to make a hasty decision to accept any of the teachings of Islam, for Islam teaches that man should be given the freedom to choose.

Even when man is faced with the TRUTH, there is no compulsion upon man to embrace it. But before you begin to form an opinion about Islam, ask yourself whether your existing knowledge of Islam is thorough enough.

Ask yourself whether that knowledge has been obtained through non-Muslim third party sources who themselves have probably been exposed to only random glimpses of Islamic writings and have yet to reason on Islam objectively and systematically themselves.

Is it fair that one should form an opinion about the taste of a particular dish just by heresay from others who may themselves not necessarily have tasted the dish yet?. Similarly you should find out for yourself about Islam from reliable sources and not only taste it, but digest it well before you form an opinion. That would be an intellectual approach to Islam.

It is up to you to make the next move.

In making your move, Islam continuously reassures you that your rights to freedom of choice ** and freedom to use that God-given faculty of thought and reason will be respected. Every man has that individual will. No one else can take that away that will and force you to surrender to the will of God. You have to find out and make that decision yourself.

May your intellectual journey towards the TRUTH be a pleasant one.

The Qur'an says:

["Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Taghut (evil) and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trust worthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. " (Qur'an 2:256)]

We all have the freedom to choose and decide.

No religion is above the other nor church,God remains God only with different methods of worship.

Peace
