There is this beautiful Japanese girl I work with.She is so gorgeous and funny and sweet.She is everything I could ever want in a woman.I talked to my Imam about it and he said I shouldn't.However I think I should.I think this has alto of potential.She has told me that if we married she would not convert to Islam.She was happy being Buddhist and Shinto.She said she would never ask me to convert either.I really like her and I have known her for a while but just recently found out she likes me too.I cant stress enough that I really like her.Should I forget the dating rules and just go for it?Is it really that bad?I mean we have marriage potential.Anyway honest answers from Muslims.I need help my brain is split in 2.
From the experience my Husband's friends have had with women of other religions....It does not work well....Many of his friends married Christians or Catholics, and Allah says that men can marry People of the book, but realistically, after you have children it is hard when on persons faith is more than the others. Budhist do no believe in or worship a God...so Islamically you are not allowed to marry them!!!
well.. you are in "lust" stage at the moment and thinking with something other than your mind.. Im not mocking you, but seriously..
Allah tests us in this life and this might be your test of faith..
Out of the millions upon millions of women on this earth to choose from. You are choosing someone who takes partners to Allah. someone whose God isn't Allah.. Maybe she respects you, but secretly doesn't respect Allah, she has another God... Would you really want your life partner to be a person who doesn't believe in your creator, who will potentially birth your children to a pagan?.... What if she likes pork or alcohol or prays during times of stress (possibly her pregnancy) to another God?.... Allah forbid!.. I cant possibly see how you'd want this...
If you hold off on marrying her and talk softly and reasonably about Islam to her and possibly thereby she converts.. Then Alhamdullah!.. This might have been the reason Allah brought you two together.. maybe this is your test of faith to try to bring someone into the fold of Islam.... otherwise NO, NO, and triple NO>...
Your Japanese friend does sound very appealing
with her good looks and sweet personality.
you may have marriage potential if your not very religious,
your not planning on having children with her.
if that's not the case, you should find your self a Muslim girl.
.
Buddhism isn't a real religion per SE, she can still continue with her Buddhist attitude but be a Muslim. I think you need to make her see that. Good luck.
take your time & pray to Allah that He sends u someone better than her... sweet, funny,....Muslim (or at least Jew or Christian!!)
keep in mind this verse & pray with it:
"And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun" (pious - see V.2:2 and the footnote of V.3:164)." (25: 74)
Be sure; everything is solved by DA'
& i will pray for u too
peace
do not think about the moment but think about the next ,
your sons will be brought by a pagan ,do you think they will believe in Islam?
you will die but what will you say to Allah when you been asked about your life ?
if this girl have beautiful soul ,she will think about Islam but if she did not ,forget her

first
with all my respect to your Imam,a Muslim man can marry any woman from any other religion,
second if you like or love her do it marry her,if she want to stay as Buddhist she must know:your children together are Muslims,if anything happened to you (god forbidden) she has no right in anything belong to you
