Assalamu'alaikum,

If we discuss anything relating to the Religion, I do not think it can only be discussed according to the desires of the human heart, while about "Muhammad's Sunnah was to accept everyone equally, without regard to their previous religion, Reviews their race, Reviews their poverty, or Whether they were slaves". It's all about of social life in friends, neighbors, state, and even among nations. But this is something that has a special law in Islam.
Let us together contemplate the Word of Allah in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 221. All Muslims are obliged to follow it, this is the Words of Allah, it's not Sunnah or man's words. I personally can say "no" to people, but I can not reject the commandments of Allah.

the way i see it is this
if you are a muslim then marry a muslim for the first time lol
things will go more easily
less complications
less chance of a divorce
my muslim friend married a non muslim and things didn't go too well
he signed up to a marriage bureau shortly after, www.hummarriage.com then got married to a muslim and things were fine

It is forbidden for a Muslim girl to marry a non Muslim.so no permission to you from Allah. so you need to wait till he converts . Second no marriage of girl without wali's permission so you need to take your family's permission.Already marriage is a sinking ship, if you give dawah through marriage both will end up a shipwreck. Allah doesn't need your help , you need Allah's help. As you are describing maybe he's got a good character but before marriage every guy looks and acts like one plus any marriage you even have to see compatibility in all aspects for it to be smooth . If he's so interested he could have as well gone to the masjid to learn Islam than from you .And if he's so upright he should have first converted convinced his parents then propose to you . If he has so much understanding of deen or humanity. Even regular boys are so deficient in knowledge That anyone who marrys them suffer due to their smartness tricks of controlling females lies their mothers fatwas that after many years of tears and quarrels you feel what they have ever learnt in life about Islam hadith how to treat females. And wonder when they will learn may be never because they are so busy with friends jobs making money showing off their street smartness and of course the weakness of their faith and their own problems exams job which they can't handle for themselves also due to weakness of iman. So this guy is also likely to have all of these .whether his faith will ever become so strong that his character flaws go away or hell just remain a Muslim for name like most of us remains to be seen . ultimately wife suffers the most from character flaws or laziness of husband.or if you want a smoother life marry someone whose faith is already up and character is already up to at least your level . but only some elder relatives,may be able to assess that for you . the guy supposedly interested in you also has to be assessed in all these aspects or no marriage is guaranteed for happiness or success

Dear Sister,

Please be advised that you are not spreading relegion by marrying a non muslim. so first thing you should keep in mind that Halal thing cannot be acheived by Haram ways. I have seen many cases where Men say anything to get married to a girl but after marraige everything vanishes.

Allah says in Quran, A beleiving slave man is better than a non beleiver prince and visa versa.

Beleive me you will never be able to convert this man to Islam and if you still want then ask him practise islam for at 6 months and the real test is when you ask him to get circumsised. if his intentions are clear he will not hesitate. but you cant say this to him upfront so have to ask your mehram to talk to him about this.

Hope this helps

assalaamu'alaikum

first establish whether is he becoming muslim for the sake of becoming muslim or whether is he truly interested in Islam. If he is truly and sincerely interested, then he should recite the shahaadat and go public with his faith. This is without any agreement with yourself on marriage or anything of the like. If he loves Allah and Allah's Rasool, then only is he worthy of your love.

In my personal experience, it would take him about 2 to 3 years to affirm his Islamic faith by gaining the basic knowledge of Islam (Aqaaid + Fiqh). If after then he has proved committed then he should approach your father as a Muslim man seeking you in marriage.

Alhamdulillah I have helped a couple under similar circumstances and today after 3 years they have married and are happy together (May Allah increase their happiness and love. Aameen)

Insha-Allah I will PM you some useful information to pass along to the man in question.

If he converted would he not be a Muslim just as much as any other Muslim?

I was under the impression that Muhammad's Sunnah was to accept everyone equally, without regard to their previous religion, their race, their poverty, or whether they were slaves.

You say your life would be easier if you married a "Muslim man" but your friend is offering to become a Muslim.

Something is still worrying you so what problems would remain if he were a Muslim? 

As to Allah, would you not be spreading Islam (by 1)?

Are there laws against such a marriage where you live?  Or other cultural obstacles beyond simply the religion?

Would your family consider him "less of a Muslim" than those born to the religion?

I have not discussed this with my parents as of yet because I want to see what my stance is first. I am not even sure about this myself and am trying to reason things out right now. Any insight? Perhaps, from women in marriages, etc? I have always feared marriage ..

The life of this world is but a trial and test. Even with blessings come a test for us to be grateful and thankful to Allah, Most High. When discussing this young man with your father, what advise has he given you?
