Brothers and sisters,
I need some guidance on a matter dear to my heart. I'm in love with a non-muslim monotheist who believes in one God but that he has many forms. I'm certain I want to marry this girl, and have done istikhara for the same. I have been praying for her to be shown the right path, but it hasn't been working. Her upbringing of over 25 years has deeply ingrained into her the theism that she believes in.
She has read parts of the Quran, is familiar with the basics of Islam. I myself have dived deep into matter on the subject, and am fully aware of marriage being restricted to People of the Book. However, here in the nordic countries I see many happy couples successfully married interfaith and living happy and satisfied lives.
I'm not looking to be discouraged from this union. I know of the aayah that says that they will invite you to the fire and Allah invites you to the garden. I've done my research. She's not like that though, she reminds me for my prayers, is encouraging me to be a haafiz, respects all aspects and even reads the Quran. She's only struggling with the concept of shirking her upbringing and seeing Islam as the true religion.
I have been considering a certain path, and I would like some insights and opinions. Allah make us maaf, none of us are as paak as our Prophet (PBUH) and the Sahabah. We do sin, and we ask for forgiveness and in His might, Allah forgives us. I am considering giving up 3-4 sins that I usually do, like lying and arrogance and something similar. I know I should give them up regardless, but I'm hoping to marry her and trade those sins for the sin of an interfaith marriage.
Please pray for us, and pray she finds guidance to the right path.
