so many of members here i noticed take QURAN word by word...correct? i remember there was a debate here while back about Holy prophet (PBUH) being last prophet, and few more issues...and most members gave their reasoning from quranic verses...saying look this is what quran says...literally..instead of trying to understand the deeper meaning of it...
so for those...who take quran literally, i have a question for u...( i know the answer, i wanna hear from u)

when marrying a Muslim, conditions of adulthood, mehar, consent of both parties and that of the wali of the bride must be fulfilled before a marriage contract can be actualized.
Marrying a non-muslim woman requires conditions fulfilled before marriage could be actualized. These conditions include that the woman should be a believer in a religion for which Allah sent down a book. She must be from Mohsinat. Mohsinat are defined as those who are God concious, chaste, do not have hatred toward Islam and Muslims and maintain a high standard of morality and haya.

yup...but problem is...on another point in Quran, God says:
[5:51] O you who believe, do not take Jews and Christians as allies; these are allies of one another. Those among you who ally themselves with these belong with them.
so on one hand we r allowed to marry then, on the hand we r told not to take them as allies /friends?

Good question.
Issue of marriage with women of people of the book is permitted and so is friendly dealings with the people of the book. Islam (Quran) does not restrict Muslims, it actually encourages gentle and kind treatment towards the people of the book.
Verse you are referring from Quran are specific about taking people of the book as "Aulia" - protectors and fast / true friends. This verse and other similar verses are words of caution and admonition for Muslims as a society. Allah also gave the reason - they are protectors and fast friends of each others, i.e don't count on them; they will be friends to you so long as you are not at odds with one, of their own background. Such verses refer to situation of conflict and war in particular. Seeking help and support of non-muslims against Muslims is strictly prohibited.

yup..they r fats friends of eachothers but not mmuslims, so how can a christian or jew girl be a good life partner of a muslim when she's actually not religiously friends with muslims?
the point i am trying to prove is...we can;t take quran word by word...otherwise in an example like this...quran says one thing about being friends with jews/christians and another things when it comes to marry them...
we have to see beyond what quran lietraly saying and try to get understand the true meaning for it...

I never disagreed with indepth study and understanding of Quran. It should, however, not be misconstured with attempts to twist verses of Quran to support one's own ideologies. In Quran, verses with muhkamat do not need interpretations after what Allah's messenger already explained and are set in stones. Verses with mutashabihat, can not be fully understood or explained with limited human knowlege.
Marrying a christian girl with conditions mentioned above is permissible but not recommended. Someone with no hostility toward islam and muslims is far less likely to go against Islam and Muslims and particularly her own family (husband, children, ...)
