Answer:

 

Marry bohri not doing shirk

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Question: so in such a situation what do I do?????

Beloved Sister, rest absolutely assured that your Lord Most Gracious is fully aware of the exact condition of each and every individual in His creation.  If you have given it your best effort, all you can do after that is have patience, and keep your full trust and hope in the Mercy and Grace of your Lord Most Merciful.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 35 Surah Fatir verse 2:

2        What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow on man, there is none can withhold: what He doth withhold There is none can grant apart from Him: and He (Alone) is the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

 

Your Question: i wanted to also know one more thing that getting married to a bohri boy who is not into shirk is it halaal please do reply

Beloved Sister, it is absolutely lawful in Islam for a believing woman to marry any muslim who has declared his belief in the Absolute Oneness of Allah Subhanah, and the appointment of Prophet Mohamed (saws) as Allah’s Last and Final Messenger.  For all their shortcomings in the Truth of Islam, our Bohra brethren do profess belief in Allah and His Last Messenger (saws); thus a marriage between a believing woman and a Bohra brother would indeed be legally valid and lawful in the Sight of Shariah.

 

But knowing the manifest ‘shirk’ the unsuspecting followers of the Bohra sect are engrossed in, whether one whom Allah has blessed to recognize the Truth should opt for such a marriage, is a decision one would have to make very carefully.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
