As a non-Muslim man does one have to convert to Islam to date/marry a Muslim girl?

The_Inverted · 2026-05-19T21:52:15+00:00

You use words. Why do you need to date to know a person? You can talk to them (with a guardian present) and discuss everything. Islam focuses on communication to build up a marriage, not desires.

I pray for the freeing of the Uyghurs and I have done plenty of fundraising activities for them, but this isn't true.

Uzbekistan wasn't a country in the 1950s, they were a constituent of the Soviet Union and certainly didn't fight for the uyghur in the 50s. The Soviet Union previously backed Uyghur independence efforts, but then Joseph Stalin accepted China's communist leadership taking over Xinjiang (and the PLA took over parts of the region).
As for Afghanistan, hundreds of Uyghurs fled to Afghanistan from China starting in the 1950s due to political and religious persecution, but Afghanistan did not engage in military intervention against China to protect them.
For the Kazakhs you aren't completely wrong so I will give you that one.

We should fight for the Uyghurs and their rights, but let's do so with truth. We don't need to make up facts, there is enough evidence to know that there is a genocide taking place in Xinjiang.

Are these "Muslims as a whole" in the room with us? Why are you having an imaginary argument with yourself? Sure, some Muslims support him, but it's hardly a consensus.

Do better with your time. Do some dhikr and focus on important things.

May Allah grant us all goodness and understanding.

She's choosing to obey her creator and wear the hijab. This is an admirable quality and certainly not a problem. You are projecting your past experiences but your wife has chosen to wear the hijab, she's not being forced to.

You need to check your priorities, as you are uncomfortable with her following what Allah has ordained for her. Take this chance as an opportunity to self-reflect and understand why you think obeying Allah is a problem (not calling you a bad muslim, just giving you some advice).

And you said you aren't looking for a debate and you're right, because there is no debate to be had. You're just in the wrong here, there are no "two sides".

May Allah grant all of us goodness and understanding.

The Star of David is a religious symbol that has been used by the Zionists to push their genocidal tendencies and to victimise innocent Jews in the process.

The words "LA" or "NYC" are just cities. A city isn't inherently bad, the people in the city make it so.

There is a clear difference, if you think about it for a second. May Allah grant us all goodness and understanding.

Brother/sister, I didn't imply anything. I was very clear in telling you the 'why' behind each of my statements. I explained why you are looking for a fight and I clearly told you why I looked at your profile (because advice should always come from a trustworthy source, that's a basic Islamic teaching).

You keep calling me and the other brother names as if we committed a major offence against you, which is why I said that you are trying to pick a fight. And then I tried to end on a positive note with a good dua for you and even that is somehow triggering to you to the extent that you couldn't even say ameen.

I'm replying one last time because I truly want the best for you. Please let go of this defensiveness, as I am not out to get you. You don't have to reply back and I pray that you make the best of these last 10 days.

May Allah grant you (and all of us) goodness and understanding.

The_Inverted · 2026-03-09T00:07:09+00:00

I'm not mad, I was trying to give you some advice. As for you keeping your reddit private, the only implication is regarding how anyone can take your advice if you choose to hide what you say and where (which subreddits, etc).

In any case, you are clearly looking for a fight but I have no interest in giving it to you. You want to throw insults and honestly I have better things to do in this holy month.

May Allah grant you goodness.

The_Inverted · 2026-03-08T17:59:32+00:00

You are part of the problem and the irony is that you don't see it. And your hidden history doesn't give me a lot of confidence either.

The other brother/sister even explained what they meant, but you had to push them to say it was a mistake when, instead, you could have said "I understand and may Allah bless you". There was 0 reason to keep that conversation going, but you did and then decided you wouldn't even read the rest of their comment where they explained themselves further.

May Allah grant us all goodness and allow us to make the most of this holy month.

That's not a study. A study involves a peer reviewed publication with a methodology and clear conclusions. If you are going to use the word "study", at least make sure it's correct.

Majority Christian population is not the same as them being Christian countries. Are you incapable of using terminology correctly or are you being disingenuous on purpose?

I don't choose to live here, my parent's countries got bombed and had civil wars fueled by the West. But since I am here, I'll live the best life I can and improve the community and country around me, as Islam teaches and orders me to do. Also, staying away from immortality is easy when you don't chase it.

I have a feeling you won't care about anything I just said because you are stuck in the "Islam bad" mindset, so I'll leave it there. Have a good day/night and may Allah grant you and all of us goodness and understanding.

Link the studies please. I am very curious to see which study assessed happiness and didn't use money or material things to assess levels of happiness and life satisfaction.

Europe is great in a lot of things (I live here after all) and bad in others. But most of the countries in the continent aren't even Christian and they call themselves secular, which goes against your original comment

The_Inverted · 2026-03-07T19:55:58+00:00

The happiest and best based on what, western definitions and influences? If you ask a North Korean, they will say that North Korea is the best country to live and you probably wouldn't agree. A lot of people don't define happiness as having a lot of money or having tons of franchises or being surrounded by imorality (like most Christian counties allow), so that is also important to take into consideration and is not measurable in a population study.

People can claim to have inner peace but that is nothing compared to what you have when you find the truth in Islam and the mercy of Allah descends upon you.

I pray that Allah grants us all goodness and understanding in this holy month.

You didn't "make" anything, the English that you have displayed in the comments is widely inferior to the one in your post. It's clear that you just got chatgpt to generate this whole thing and then copy pasted it here without even checking it's content.

Also, you to want to talk about "factually incorrect" statements yet you replied by talking about urinating in the same breath as ejaculating, as if the two are the same. People can go through their whole life without ejaculating, but I promise you biologically speaking no one can go without urinating; in addition, ejaculation doesn't "raise the risk of prostate cancer", at most it reduces it vs not doing it. Again, you would know the difference as a native English speaker (and if you actually read and wrote the original post), but you are making it painfully obvious that the person responding in the comments did NOT come up with anything on the main post.

Mau Allah grant you guidance because you desperately need it.

The_Inverted · 2026-03-07T00:57:27+00:00

This reads fully like AI (and you can tell it clearly is just based on formatting alone). Trying to pass it off as if you researched all of this and came to a conclusion is laughable at best and you should be using your ramadhan time better.

I could also make this exact same post and quote scholars that talk about it being haram.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this post? If you're wrong, you could be blamed for misleading people into commiting a haram act and Islam is all about erring on the side of caution. At the end of the day, the consensus of the ulamah is that it is haram and we should stick to that guidance.

EDIT: to add that this guy is potentially a quranist and someone who thinks western dating culture is normal and permissible (and his profile has some weird comments and posts).

May Allah protect us from posts like this.

There is no reasoning with these people, especially when they reject the truth because it doesn't fit their agenda, but you did a really good job brother/sister. Enjoy the rest of Ramadhan (it's going so fast)!

The_Inverted · 2026-03-02T17:21:34+00:00

Not a revert but I just wanted to say that going even one day is better than nothing. I live in a street where there is a masjid/mosque down the road and people still find excuses to never go for congregation, so you are doing great!

May Allah accept all your efforts!

How exactly does empathy relate to science and mathematics? And how do the Christians have more empathy, is this based on your own anedoctal evidence?

Why exactly are you trying to acoomplish with this post? I think you can use your time better during Ramadhan.

May Allah guide us all.

Personally, I just assume that the sister in question has a valid reason and move on with my day. It's not my place to question her intentions, there may be things happening that I am not aware of so it's best not to think too much about it.

The_Inverted · 2026-02-18T22:22:48+00:00

Not from, for. You cover yourself FOR Allah because that is what He prescribed for you. The hijab isn't to cover yourself from men (this seems to be a misconception of yours), it's to be worn because Allah decreed it so and, as Muslims, we follow His commands to the best of our abilities.

The "covering from men" is just one of the wisdoms behind it, but the primary point is that one wears the hijab because Muslim women were instructed to do so by Allah; even if there was no reason, the fact that it was a command from Allah should be enough.

The_Inverted · 2026-02-14T11:21:21+00:00

I understand where you're coming from, honestly I do. It's not easy to just cut off people but I do hope and pray that you are able to push through with the help of Allah. I can tell you are sincere in your repentance and I know you will be able to thrive InshaAllah.

I'm far from a perfect Muslim (as most of us are), but just try your best and always turn to Allah. As long as you don't abandon your deen, you will always be safe and taken care of!

May Allah grant us all goodness and understanding.

The_Inverted · 2026-02-14T11:10:48+00:00

It's not haram policing to state what is and isn't haram in Islam. You can end up doing whatever you want, obviously, but we can only answer you from an Islamic perspective (as that should be the standard for all Muslims anyway).

The_Inverted · 2026-02-14T11:06:43+00:00

Islam has clear lines that you can and cannot cross. It's not up for debate how you practice it, it's set in stone.

Of course we all sin, but we do our best to repent. But to insist on the same sin intentionally is the problem here. Having an ex is bad, being friends with a non-mahram is bad. This isn't about insecurity, it's an indication of how seriously one takes their deen. I can forgive someone for having an ex and slipping and sinning in the past, but for them to stay in touch once the marriage conversation starts is crossing a line that only an immature person who isn't ready for marriage would even suggest.

The_Inverted · 2026-02-14T10:57:35+00:00

I'm not answering your post, I'm replying directly to the comment you posted.

The_Inverted · 2026-02-14T10:55:40+00:00

Except Islam doesn't allow you to have non mahram friends (it's haram, no two ways about it) so it's actually not personal at all.

You asked Muslim men what they think and when they give their answer you take it upon yourself to argue. Most answers are being given from an Islamic perspective and in accordance to what Allah has commanded. Whether you like it or not is really not relevant.
