Hello everyone,

So I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now.

I have a muslim girlfriend, and I'm currently Christian.

She says I have to convert to be a muslim to marry her.

I have told her this is no problem for me, because it is worshipping the same god.

However she also demand that I pray 5 times per day.

This is for me not a realistic option.

I have told her I cannot do that, as it will interfere with my daily life too much.

She says SHE will go to hell, if I do not pray 5 times and follow the muslim rules, because she "recruited" me.

So my question is:

What are the actual rules for me to marry her? Wouldn't it be enough to convert and believe?

I mean, wouldn't I be the one going to hell for not following the muslim way 100 %..?

Peace,

Thanks for asking the question.

Change of faith is not just symbolic, it is in fact of the change of life style.

You believe in one God and the Islamic Faith around the idea of oneness of God.

Islam asks its adherents to turn to God in prayers five times a day. People who are in your condition adjust their prayer schedule accordingly. You can start slowly and gradually increase your commitment to prayers. Islam teaches us that each one is responsible for one's action. A person cannot be held accountable for the wrongs of others.
