Choose Wisely!

By Imam Zaid Shakir · October 5, 2016

One of the reasons many Muslim women find it difficult to find a viable mate is the increasingly large number of Muslim men who are choosing to marry non-Muslim women. Of course this is something that is lawful in Islam. That being said, in choosing a mate one has to consider the fate of the children a marriage may result in. A recent study of religion in America produced the following sobering finding: "It (the study) showed, as other research has demonstrated, that children raised by parents who have two different religions, grow up more likely to have no religion at all."
