Asalaamulaikum, well i'm interested in asking these parents for their daughters hand in marriage who is from egypt and i'm from pakistan. I've already talked to the brother who is really mature and knows the whole situation inside out and he said that me being pakistani and not egyption will not be an issue for his parents as long as i have good deen and eman, but a friend of the girls (i've never really talked to her) told me that the girl is afraid that her parents will never approve because they only want an egyption husband for her. So just in case this issue arises when proposing what is the BEST thing i can bring up or say that'll make them more considerate? Some logical answers would be highly appreciated and some quotes from the quran or hadeeth if necessary would be helpful as well.
Jazakallahu khairun
b. Just talk to the egyptian imam for a little to see what he's going to say. He should stress out how the prophet saws came to rid the communities of tribalism and nationalism and how under Allah swt's eyes we're all equal but in taqwa
c. Find which elements of your culture are similar to egyptian culture. In your talk point out how you have all these similarities hinting at the fact that you will give your wife all the good things that any egyptian would give, and that you have respect fo the egyptian culture so you will make sure your children are in touch with it and learn to appreciate is as well...things like that.
