Finace muslim and me i grew up in mormon church.....

My fiance become muslim while locked up in jail. I was baptized a mormon at the age of 8. When we both mest 3 years ago neither of us were practicing in any religion.

He became muslim and wanted me to read about and become one too. He pressured me and got highly aggravated when i didn't agree with some things or told him I didn't believe i could follow alot of the things they would have to.

Eventuall we broke up for a little bit while he was locked up and i started going back to my church... after he got released from jail we got back together and now are strong and struggling....

Many people tell us that we aren't gonna make it due to the differences in religion.... for example holidays and other things... that they are different lifestlyes.

Does anyone think there is a chance for us with 2 different but similar religions make it?

 

Absolutely you can both make it. And absolutely, the difference can come between you. The choice is for the two of you to decide.

You can focus on your differences or focus on your similarities. I actually think that Mormonism and Islam have much in common. Not only is it the same God you are both praying too, both have leaders than came after Jesus.

God did not stop sending his Messengers to spead his Message after Jesus time. They still come. They still tell the same story. Worship one God.

 

I really don't like commenting on topics like this , but as i was brought up
in a mormon familly in my childhood. I can only comment on a mormon
perspective .

I really can't tell how will you guys make it as mormon strongly beleive
in " eternal marriage " in the holy temple , and many other "Church of Jesus
christ of later days saints" laws . And again The mormon beleive that their
church is the only true church of God in this earth. As stated previously
i am from a mormon backgroung ( at this moment i am no more member).

In conclusion you guys should try to find a way out of this i beleive you need a lot
of meditations , if you are meant to be together things will work by themself ... Just be strong for the sake of your marriage and never take
a decision without your own personal testimony ( in today's world religion as a lot to do with politics and people manipulation)

Hope that help.

 

Dont mind what other people say. You got to work it out for yourselves.
But dont give up before you try.
I think it would help if you learned about his religion. Its important that you share your beliefs.
Im christian and my boyfriend is muslim.

 

Good analogy

=================
Yes to focus on the things that one has in common in Islam and Mormonisn or any faith for that matter .That is the best thing to do in order to build on a god bond That it is a way to build a strong mental and spiritiual bond .At the same time both must accept the differences and respect the others faith
It will make the physical realtionship even more valuable..in the long run ..now if I could just find me a llady on here that understands that hmmmm(haha) serioulsy,,though.. you made a good point

 

Yes Sarah you advised her correctly to focus on the things that one has in common in Islam and Mormonisn or any faith for that matter .That is the best thing to do in order to build on a god bond That it is a way to build a strong mental and spiritiual bond .At the same time both must accept the differences and respect the others faith
It will make the physical realtionship even more valuable..in the long run ..now if you have any friends or assocaites who i can met on here let me know I am Muslim also and I have just joined I would like to find me a lady like you in th 30's or 40's on here that understands that like you do the racial and cultural as well as religous difference you made a good point

 

I would say, don't worry so much about the religions and their commonalities or differences, just focus on searching for the truth, together. But if you don't find a good place to start before you get married I do think getting married would be a grave mistake, unless one of you is really not very adamant about his/her religion, and is willing to give it up for the other.

 

Im sure there are plenty of women out there who wold be good for you. And who will respect you and your religious beliefs.
I also have several female friends who are dating men of different religions, includiing muslim.
Love conquers all.:heart:

 

Yes, I do. I am going through the same situation. My man (of 9 years) is in prison. While in there he decided to revert to Islam not too long ago. A "Twelver Shi'ite". It really upset me at first. I felt blindsighted because, I don't really practice any religion and am not a fan of organized religion and he said because I'm not "of the book" (Christian or Jewish) or a Muslim, it was against his beliefs to marry me. Whew, I was pissed and as disrespectful as anyone could ever possibly be. But we are working on things. And it's looking okay for now. I would be pissed if your man was trying to pressure you or get aggravated, that is BS!! It's not very "Muslim" of him either. It specifically says that they aren't allowed to pressure you about that stuff. God/Allah only wants people to "come to Him" or whatever by their own choosing, at their own pace, on their own time, if at all. He (your man) should know that. Anyways, yes, it is a very different lifestyle. I don't really know what a Mormon is. Me, right now, I'm just trying to learn more about his religion. I don't know what is going to happen. Whether or not, the two of you "make it", is up to you. There are successful interfaith marriages. I don't know much about Mormons. I think if you believe in one God, which is what Muslim believe, and you believe Jesus was just a prophet and not a God incarnate or God. Then you have the basic beliefs in common and it shouldn't be too bad. Muslims just believe that there was a prophet (Muhammed) after Jesus. That Jesus wasn't the last prophet. They do have some similarities to the Christian faith, actually. Some very different too. They say that muslim men can marry "women of the book" like Christians and Jewish women. I can give you some websites, if you want, to learn more about Islam. Just LEARN, so you can know more. Me, I didn't really know an iota about it. So it's really helped me. Knowledge is power. Even if you don't decide to believe it. At least you'll be informed. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say for now. Is there a chance for you and him? That depends on the two of you, no one else and not what anyone else says. Let me know if you'd like some websites about it. Good luck!!!

 

it would be to much of a headache for me, I need a religious girl who shares the same beliefs as me for my next relationship, ain't going down that other road agian.
