Muslim convert in love with a Pakistani woman

I’m a white Muslim convert seeing a Pakistani woman. She is continually worried about approaching her parents. All this time I have remained a secret to them.

The man I loved betrayed me and married another. Who will marry me?

I wrote to you all regarding my break up and betrayal by my ex in April. That day must of been the darkest day of my life as I felt everything had just crumbled. Since that day I’ve become to close to Allah I repent my sins, how I filled my heart for love for a man not Allah, how I was blinded and failed to read the signs and I’m trying to understand slowly yeah everything happens for a reason and Allah has saved me in the long run. I have many times throughout the day where my heart sinks and I feel depressed. But I think more what makes me down and depressed is what’s next for me?

How can I get my father to accept our marriage?

I am a 21 year old girl who wants to get married to someone I’ve been with for nearly 3 years.

The problem is I’m Pakistani and he is Bengali, and because of this my parents aren’t accepting.

My son has a girlfriend and doesn’t seem to be bothered about not praying.

Dear Brother/Sister in Islam, I’m a revert to Islam now that my oldest son is 18, he seems to have turned his back on what we’ve brought him up with, as parents. He has been at an islamic nursery andan islamic primary school,his secondary education was at a catholic school, I thought that would be the lesser of the 2 evils rather than a school without any faith.

Pregnant and not heard from my Saudi Boyfriend

In love with A Muslim man who is engaged to another woman by force. Do I have a chance?

I am deeply in love with my Muslim Ex-Boyfriend. We both saw the same point of view in life. We talked about , me becoming Muslim for him in the past. But On August 3, his parents got him engaged with someone else. The same day he broke up with me saying he’s very sorry and didn’t want this to happen. He has told me he likes her but does not love her. Like the way he loves me. Will there be a chance that he will Break off the Engagement? If so how?

I have converted to Islam but my boyfriend is delaying marriage as he is convincing his family to marry me.

My boyfriend was guiding me to Islam and it took so long time(nearly 2 yrs to understand the beauty of islam) and then I became Muslim. We don’t work in same place any longer. He is either not willing to come out or he is getting scared to spend time with me. I understand that now he is staying with his family and it won’t be the same as earlier. I feel I have been rejected by him. I m ready to do anything to convince his family but they are not ready to accept me.

We want to spend our lives together but I am not sure if I should trust him due to cultural, religious and age differences.

I have met and fallen in love with a Saudi student who is considerably younger than me (18years). He is from one of the most liberal cities in KSA and has told me that his family will eventually accept me. I can’t help but wonder if this is possible due to the age and cultural difference, and the fact that his student visa will be expiring in another year or so. I also worry that he may be married already and hiding it from me, so that he has someone to be with while he is in the states. Is there a way to find out if he is married and is there any hope for this relationship?

Divorced American woman in love with Saudi student.

I am an American woman studying finance at a university in the USA. One of my classmates at school watched me for an entire year. At the very end of the school year he asked me to go out with him and confessed a crush on me. We share a similar sense of humor and outlook on life – if you can believe it. I am absolutely falling in love with this man. However, I have a lot of concerns because we are from completely opposite cultures. He is a Muslim from Saudi Arabia. I knew nothing about Islam or Ramadan before I met him, and I am honestly extremely impressed with his faith.
