will u convert to muslim or not for the sake of love???

Answer 1

Imma try to cover all the bases here so here goes nothing. First of all IF he's forcing/convincing you to convert then thats wrong. Not in a "human rights" way kind of wrong but it goes against Islam. Islam states that we should advise people to learn about Islam, but we are not allowed to annoy, force, or impose it upon anyone else. Second of all Muslims are allowed to marry anyone of any religion (as long as they're religion has A God i.e. Christians, Jewish etc; not a cow as a God), So If he really loves you then he shouldn't force you to convert nor should you think about it. Plus even if he did force you to convert then technically he can't accept it cuz it's against your will (once again you have to make a concious and free-willed decision to convert). I think thats about it. Whatever your dilemma in no way morally or even religion-based; should you convert to Islam "for the sake of love"....

Answer 2

I converted to Islam 8 years ago but it was not for the sake of love. It may have started that way because the man I loved was Muslim so I knew that if I married him I would have to convert. But as I learned more about the religion I fell in love with it. I'm born and raised a Hindu and I was never committed to my religion I never practiced it the right way. I never even knew much about it. But Islam has changed me it's a pure and true religion and I love being Muslim.

Answer 3

Religion is something personal, something you are bound in conscience to. One should only convert if one feels more comfortable in another religion and one truly believes in it.

If one imposes a condition on another person one does not love a person. If he wants you to convert to marry him think twice before doing it. Religion is not a question of love.

I personally would never convert to Islam. It is too sexist. I would never give up my European clothes for covering up even my head and going to the beach and not wearing a bikini and swimming covered from head to toe. I would never accept not sitting next to my male partner in the Mosque. I'm Catholic and proud of it. It is the religion which exaults the dignity of the human person, every human person with no exception.

Apart from this, I don't think relationships between members of different religions work. Religion is much more than prayer and practice. It is a way of life, a totally exclusive culture. It shapes our mentality from when we are young whether we are believers or not. You may never practise your religion but it is still a force within you.

Better think about your situation in depth.

Answer 4

Religion is about belief, and you can not change what you truly believe for any reason - you either believe something or you don't.

The only thing you can do is either pretend, or study the religion in question so much that you actually do end up believing (which may or may not happen).

As for the love bit, then why should you? What right has anyone to demand someone believe something for their sake.

Answer 5

As a female Muslim, you will take a
backseat to everything. The Men rule
everything. You have NO say.
Can you live that way?
Their Woman will say " It's not like that ",
but it is.

Only Convert to a Religion because
of religious teachings about God,
not for the love of a man.

Answer 6

I can only say, as a Jew, I would never convert to Islam for any reason. A person you truly love would not ask so much from you. I would not make a girl convert to Judaism.

Answer 7

Frankly, I believe that no matter what faith a person observes, if someone is truly devoted to their faith, they would never consider changing their religion for anyone. In my own beliefs, you are supposed to put God first, forsaking all others. Not only do I apply that to deities from other religions, but also to people. If a girl wants me to change my religion for her, she knows where the door is. Personally, I couldn't date anyone from such a vastly different religious background as Islam, because I believe we would have very different beliefs, & if we ever had children, it would play havoc on them since they would come from a background with 2 religions. Inevitably, they would believe one or the other parent was going to hell because they didn't believe the "right" way, or something to that effect. I'm Baptist, so I doubt I could marry anyone who wasn't at least from a similar Protestant background with very similar beliefs.

Answer 8

I personally wouldn't because for me it seems too restrictive of a religion and I don't follow any religion. My friend converted to marry her husband and she seems to be doing well but she never really liked pork anyway : ) Though I can imagine it would have been very hard for her to give up her drinking and drugs! Heheh come to think of it converting has probably saved her life.

Answer 9

u don't have to be Muslim to marry a Muslim man,
and you shouldn't convert to something unless you believe in it.

Answer 10

It's hard to say honestly when you're not in the position... but converting for some one else if you're religious already is like betraying your god to pay lip service to another in my opinion. I guess if you're not very religious it doesn't matter, though it would be kind of like lying..
