Hello sister,
The Muslim who changed your life, does he practice Islam? I mean, does he offer 5 prayers a day and keeps his Religious duties? A Muslim is not allowed to date, and he should stop meeting you in this way.
A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian woman, as long as she is chaste. I am hoping that you are pure and morally high. 🙂
But I generally do not advise this, because there maybe many complications. It may take this man away from his practice of Islam, and it may lead to your children from him be unaware of true Islam, etc.
These are real problems as mother is the first school of her children. I suppose you must be thinking you will help them learn Islam. Then why not you yourself do this favor to yourself? Why not learn what Islam is, who Allah, The Lord of Jesus Is, who Muhammad peace be upon him is, who Jesus peace be upon him is according to Islam, and what Quran and Hadith is all about?
I encourage you to learn these and the life history of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
If you like Islam, you can actually have all your past sins forgiven, by accepting the testimony - "There is none worthy of Worship but Allah Alone and Prophet Muhammad is His Final Messenger". Having accepted Islam, everything will be in your favor when it comes to marrying this man and there will not be any reason for anyone to say the otherwise. Your children will find a mother who shall prepare them for their meeting with Allah in the Hereafter. How great it sounds...I encourage you to ponder over the Quran and Hadith and accept Islam if you like it.

Nice response brother
I would like to tell you about Islam
We Muslims worship Allah - the only one GOD who created you and me and all that exists.
The GOD of Adam, Noah , Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammed (peace be upon them) and all.
why did Jesus(peace be upon him) the son of Mary (may Allah be pleased with her) came to this earth?
Jesus came to teach people about ALLAH. He came to teach people to worship none but ALLAH alone without associating any partners with HIM.
Allah says
“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)”
{Quran 51:56}
_________________
Allah alone deserves to be worshiped.
HE has no father, mother, brother, sister or son.
HE is not like us.
There is no one like HIM.
Allah says,
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One,
"Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
He neither begets nor is born,
"And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."
(Quran 112: 1-4)
__________________________
what is the purpose of this life? just study, earn, marry, children and die or there is more to it?
Do you know that this life is temporary?? and we will die and will be raised up again and there is going to be a day of judgement?

Dear sister, please follow islam honestly, then you can marry the guy.
hey,
yes a muslim man can marry a Christian or a jew women (people of the book) but make sure he is sincere and 100% he wants to be with you, cos some men they will marry just to mess around and to deceive you. be careful.
peace..
Hi,,Mr Ahmed,,why there are muslim wants to decieve and mess around like you said,,marraige is a serious matter.
@Laine -
Allah created men and women and created in each of them attraction towards the other as part of their nature, which no one can deny. Islam pays attention to that and regulates the relationship between the two, which is restricted to marriage;
Islam forbids any other kind of relationship which is unacceptable to sound human nature and proper thinking. Woman is not a cheap product for anyone who wants to have his way with her; rather she is respected and should be for one man to take care of her, spend on her and give her her rights.
The way to take a woman as a wife is by seeing her first, then asking her guardian for her hand, then giving some wealth to be a dowry for her.
All of that means that Islam regards woman as a respectable being, not something that is easily obtained, so that she will not be treated carelessly and looked down upon.
What we see in the world of promiscuity is that a man tries to get a woman he likes in order to have his way with her, then he throws her aside so that he can look for another who is more beautiful than her, and so on; and he moves from one prey to another, one girlfriend to another.
Thus no family is formed and no children are born; as a result no family is formed on a basis of peace and tranquillity. All of that is rejected in Islam which forbids it in a way that leaves no room for differences of opinion. Every Muslim who goes against that is following his whims and desires and is imitating deviant and immoral people. Islam disavows his conduct and actions.
Based on that, relationships that occur between men and women outside the framework of legitimate, documented marriage are haraam (forbidden) relationships which it is not permissible for a Muslim to form with any woman, whether she is Muslim or non-Muslim.

@Laine
your question "why there are muslim wants to decieve and mess around l " ? -
Firstly,
Not all Muslim men are bad. Alhamdulillah (All the praises and thanks be to Allah)
Secondly,
the muslim man who plays with women, this could be because he lacks the knowledge about Islam.
(or)
he is not serious about following the commands of Allah.

I fell in love with a muslim. I thought religion wouldn't matter at all until one time they talked with his elders. I know he's having a hard time. he doesnt want to let go of me but because I love him, im the one who first let go of him. He's a good muslim, and I don't want others to criticize him in falling in love with a catholic. although I couldn't understand why it would matter at all. I loved him and even wished that someday well get married. =/
I have a question and situation similar as the one stated here.
I am a Catholic woman. I have gone through my sacraments and I can say I am average in my practice.
I have begun to talk to a Muslim man who does not practice the way he should be his religion, Islam. He does not attend the Mosque five times as he should. He is very "liberal", for the lack of a better word.
We understand that there would be complications if we were to marry.
There are traditions and cultural differences (he is Pakistani and I am Mexican) that we would have to worry about.
Despite what has been said above, would it really be such a big problem if we were to marry? We worship the same God differently, that is the only real difference.
We love each other, he's not very concerned about the situation, but I am a little afraid. I do not want to bring him any problems with his family for being who and what I am by birth.
What would one suggest I do?
Destiny, the real problems with these types of marriages come when the children come along, and each parent wants to raise them in his/her own religion. Children of a Muslim parent should be Muslim. If you can accept that, then perhaps it could work out.
