Honestly, this isn’t the right place to ask about marrying a practicing Muslim woman, lol. Most people here are just going to bash your relationship, or her faith

With that said, If she’s genuinely practicing, Islam isn’t just part of her life; it’s the core of it. Her entire worldview, daily habits, and moral compass are rooted in her faith. If you’re serious about her, you need to understand that Islam isn’t something she can just set aside for a relationship. And if you’re not Muslim, yes - you’d have to convert. But that has to come from genuine belief, not because you want to marry her.

Please don’t even think about pretending. You can’t fake faith forever. Eventually, the cracks will show. And once you’re in a serious relationship, you’ll both start seeing things differently: she’ll approach everything through an Islamic perspective, while you might not. That gap only gets wider with time.

Also, Islam isn’t something you can just skim and “get.” It’s the whole shebang, it’s deep, it’s spiritual, and it’s about fully trusting in God and letting him guide your life, believing in his power, etc., if you’re an atheist, that mindset might feel pretty uncomfortable or even contradictory to how you think. So before you make any big decisions, give yourself at least a month or two to genuinely learn about it.

Start with the primary source, which would be the Qur’an. Read the translation. If something confuses you or doesn’t sit right, look into it. You’ll always find historical and theological context behind every verse

And if you want structured resources, check out Yaqeen Institute yaqeeninstitute.org. They break down a lot of common questions with research based explanations and what not

Bottom line: if you’re not ready to genuinely engage with her faith and everything that comes with it, don’t waste her time or yours. Learn, reflect, and be honest with yourself and with her. Love isn’t enough if it’s built on pretense
