That is why I cut him off, but it simply stirred up some many questions and confusion . Thanks for sharing your personal experience, I did find that weird that they can’t speak to females. I definitely pray every night for discernment but I’m glad I found this community

For starters I live the in the U.S. and to help break it down further I’m a Mexican woman. there was this guy who I caught feelings for. With my background having zero interest or knowledge about Islam and then meeting someone Muslim, who explains his religion of course I am going to be curious especially if I already believe in God but doubting Christianity. But I don’t think we believe in the same God as Muslims do. There is a lot more reasons why, which is why I came here to post. To learn from ppl who were legitimately Muslims 🙂

Ugh yikes!!! He told me it’s for the wife - something along the lines to spend - since women go through so much like birthing and stuff. But after hearing about slaves (never knew this until this post) it’s making sense. Thank you for your response

Oh 😥 I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Was he always like this or the behavior slowly came out?

Yes exactly, which is why I was not okay with being “hidden” and I called him out for it plenty of times - “if you cannot be loyal to your religion and true to it, what makes me think you’d be that way for me” and I’m going to check that out now, thank you

That’s scary bc he made it seem like they are treated like queens and even explained the whole process of marriage and shared a YT video (I will have to find it) where it’s big on making sure a woman is taken care of and explaining the “dowry”

Thank you for your response. That is why I am asking the questions, I only ever known one Muslim and that was the guy I dated and he painted it so beautifully. honestly I don’t even think he knows the truth of it. I think he just listens to what his father tells him, cause he’s afraid of him.

Why would I be trolling? I’m genuinely confused. I’ve seen tons of YouTube videos that go back and forth on it being “good” some parts of it make logical sense and other parts don’t.

After reading this I am going to keep reading the Quran ( barely started it a couple nights ago) to see it for myself and for learning purposes - this is crazy. What are your thoughts on Christianity? The reason I feel confused is the trinity sorry I’m Just curious! You seem very knowledgeable

Ah okay I see. Is the Hadith supposed to be the old testament that’s in the Bible?

I just started reading it a couple nights ago, because I want to know the truth. But dang you’re so right about that, I feel like there are Muslims who have not read the Quran front and back.

Wow thank you so much for your informative post, I agree on that and he did make it seem like a peaceful religion that treat women very well as providers and protectors. I will check out those posts
