Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim
I hope everyone's Ramadan is going well. This post my be a bit long but I would appreciate any help or advice.
I grew up in a Pakistani household and moved to Canada when I was 13 years ago. My family is practicing and coming here exposed me to the western lifestyle. When I was about the age of 17 and in high school I liked this girl and we entered into a haram relationship. I was occasionally praying and due to the fact I had a strong Islamic influence I did occasionally pray and attended the Jumma prayers and observed fasting, however at the same time I had this relationship. The girl came from a different culture and they claimed they are Muslim but they do not pray and live a very modern lifestyle (i.e. drinking, not praying, not fasting) they're from Iran and she moved to Canada same age as me.. I am now 28 years old and have been with this girl for the last 10 years, she is extremely good character wise and is caring. I have strong feelings for her still and she loves me very much but the year 2021 has been a turning point for me as I have started to pray 5 times a day, read Quran, and overall become very close to my creator. I have tried for some years expose her to Islam and praying but she has not shown any signs of wanting to do it. I am just conflicted with myself because I considered making the relationship halal but considering I want my partner to be a practicing Muslim and praying it has made it difficult for me to envision a future with her. I do love her very much and I am crying in my duas for Allah to guide me and to guide her to Islam. I now realize the pain and why relationships aren't allowed in Islam. I am seeking any help and guidance. We haven't officially ended things and I still am talking to her but this is hurting a lot and I am crying in prostration. Should I convince her to start praying and try it or is it me being hopeful? What am I to do?
Any help would be appreciated.
