I have been in love with a Muslim man for over 2 years. I am Christian. He recently left me to marry a Muslim Woman. I am heart broken. He is not in love with her. But he thinks that he is doing the right thing. I say follow your heart. There is nothing greater in this world than love, not even religion.

As far as i know ... ( i'm not a Scholar ..)  in Islam Marriage is allowed between people of the Books .. i.e. Quran & Bible ...  that is between muslims , christians & jews ....

Yeah ... there is nothing Greater than Love ... & that Love is at The Highest Degree which is For the God __ the Ultimate Destination.

I'm a Muslim and really it doesn't matter that he's Christian. As long as you don't love him more than Allah or start to believe in his religion more than yours you cam marry him. I go to a Muslim school and many teachers there have husbands that are Christian. But they are still Muslim.

i am in love with a muslim man and i want to marry him but what i think the hold up is in our marriage is that we have two different ways on going about the lord we serve

i am also inlove with a muslim man right now, but unlike your my man is not a devout one and i think he loves me more than his religion. You should have talk to your man and settle things before he married the other woman. The only thing i don't like with muslim is that they can marry more than one woman and i asked my man not to do this. I am a jealousgirl and he agrees to my condition that if he pursue me it should only be me. Just sharing my thoughts hope it helps you.

I'm in love with a muslim woman who broke up with me after two & a half years because our relationship would never be acceptable.  During our time together I can say we truly were in love.  Now she is marrying a man who I believe she doesn't really love only to please her family.  I whole-heartedly love her and I would have even converted to be with her (I actually was in the process of doing so when we parted, without her knowledge).  I completely agree with Kristina's statement; love is more important than any religion.  Also, in refutation to yasr'sstatement, just because you love someone who is not the same faith as you doesn't mean that you love them more than Allah.  The problem with most religions is that they get intermixed with culture and are then influenced by cultural interpretations, which is probably why there are so many scandals and inconsistencies among both religious figures and common practitioners.  Read the sourat closely and see if yasr'sstatement really is true or if it's a matter of interpretation:)  The most important thing is to be happy -- so if you find someone that you truly love don't let anything seperate the two of you.  Allah will understand...after all is not Allah the perfect representative and creator of love?

I hope it's not too late yab

In the Qu'ran it mentions, that islam is not a religion. Islam is a way of life. If you follow the rules of life there won't be many complications in your life. I understand that there is nothing wrong with marryin into another religion. But the only reason we are on Earth is to serve Allah. We are Allah's slave.

I agree, follow your heart. If you do not, you will be miserable forever, and you will always think, what if? Tell the guy you want to be with for the rest of your life, to compromise with you. If you two truly love each other, what's stopping you? I hope it works out

follow your God not Your heart,
your Love to your religion and your allah must be greater to your love to any thing else, even yourself.

but here is a solution, pray for his guidance, ask allah to show him the right bath. that may help for him to understand islam better.

and remember, if you left something for the sake of allah, he will grant you better than that thing.
