Abdestsiz namaz olur mu demişler ben kıldım oldu demiş.Yani lafı buraya getirmeyin.Sizin yapıyor olduklarınız islamın cevaz verdiği anlamına gelmez.

They asked ? can pray be without ablution ? He said i did.and it did. İ say do not bring the word here.

The wrong things that you do does not mean islam let it.

You know what, I've decided to modify my answer to your reply, because to me it is not worth to argue about it. We are all human and we all have our differences.

Here are the conditions for a man marrying a non-muslim:

"For a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman, several conditions must be met:

1. She must be from the People of the Book, i.e., Jewish or Christian.

2. She must believe in a divinely-revealed scripture recognized by Islam.

3. She must be chaste.

4. The man must be positive his children will be raised as Muslims.

Otherwise, such a marriage would be considered sinful and prohibitively disliked.

There is nothing wrong with letting her know that you prefer to marry a Muslim. However, it is completely up to her to decide whether or not she wants to accept Islam."

from sunnipath.com

Sorry about that...but I don't think his family will object unless they are practicing muslims. If you're both culture-religious (or what's the word?) there should be nothing standing in your way if you really want to get married. I was technically a christian before I married but I'm muslim now, by choice.

The reason I asked about buddhists marrying is that they are supposed to seperate themselves from all kinds of desire and so forth and I thought that marriage counts there as well. Anyway I'm not an expert of course

Quoting jamila:

so she has to leave him



I supposed religions exist not to part people, lovers in particular, but to join them together.

Quoting TeresaJana:

I 'pretended' to be a mommy when I played with my dolls as a little girl. pretending, familiarizing is in fact a learning tool to the real thing...nothing wrong with that.



This falls a bit short, doesn't it?
Pretending to be a muslim when you're not is deluding and cheating yourself and others. It's like faking to love your husband while your heart is with your secret lover..

If you believe in one God ,you do not set up partners with God and do good deeds(then you are also muslim ), then you can marry a muslim(if he is the same), that is what Kur’an says…This is the condition. In Kur’an Allah only forbids to marry with Idolworshippers and the people who set up partners with Allah. Only Allah knows what is in heart, who is faithful.

So the situation is that the boyfriend expects you to adjust your beliefs about the world, god, life... according to his wishes. As you said, he already showed that he "expects" you to do that, without even wondering about your feelings about it - whether you would want to do this at all, how you would feel about it, what his and your concerns are, or maybe whether it would be better for him to move to your country to avoid the family's expectations... any of this! Instead, he thinks that it's your duty to adjust to him. It's like telling somebody "since you are my girlfriend, you have to believe what I tell you to believe". That's treating the person as his possession, as an object without thoughts and feelings. Faith is not something you just change like socks (as it was well put earlier). It's a result of your own thought process, your own view on life, something that reflects who you are, and NOT a result of someone telling you what you should think. That is manipulation and emotional slavery!
It's really weird to me why so many women keep boyfriends that obviously don't respect them enough. Could be a result of the brainwashing of Disney films that perpetually tell us that you still have to love the prince that hides behind the beast. What kind of love is it when the guy tells you that in order to be with him, you have to hypocritically change your thoughts, ideas, faith, roots... everything!

In the case that a woman does want her boyfriend to change his belief, -which is very likely everywhere- your thoughts immediately goes invalid, catwoman! Pity!
