Both Sides Want Us to Convert to the Other!

Corn says: June 23, 2015 at 5:39 am

Hi my bf is Muslim and me and my family are Christian. We are both living in Singapore. Both sides of the family are against marriage as we are of different faith and each side wants us to convert to the other. Me and my bf would want civil marriage. Any advise please? Thanks. -Corn

Dear Corn,

Don’t take this issue lightly. What parents are saying is a minor issue but what you two know and wish to do is a major point to focus on right now.

Under parental pressure, he may cave in and may ask you to convert to Islam, today or after 10 years. Likewise, you will never be happy (and with parental pressure) that your husband is not bringing your children to your church every Sunday.

This religious conflict will go on even when time come to bury one of your children (things happen!) that he/she should go as a Christian so Jesus could recognize or as a Muslim so Allah will not send to Hell Fire.

First you tell us if Jesus is a SON of Allah (God)? Do you believe in the Judgment Day? Do you believe in Jesus as a savior? Do you believe in Church? Do you love and respect your parents and their faith?

Same way, ask him if he believes Koran is 100% truth and given by God or Koran is a book written by Muhammad? Does he believe in the Judgment Day where Allah will Judge him? Does is he believe God can be prayed only in the direction of Saudi Arabia or Allah can be prayed in the direction of Jesus’ cross? Ask him if he is (provided you believe in) willing to teach your children that Jesus is a SON of Allah? Ask him to come to your church (even you are an atheist) to pray to Jesus, see his comfort level.

Will your children have Arabic names (like Muhammed) or Christian names like John and Mary? Will your children be attending a mosque or a church? Will your children have Sunat circumcision or Christian baptism to announce them Muslim or Christian, respectively?

Will you get upset if your children one day comes and tell you that they learned from paternal grand parents that “Allah forbids that He Himself should beget a son! (19:34). Further, those who say: “the Lord of Mercy has begotten a son” preach a monstrous falsehood (19:88).”

What will your children be, Muslims, Christians, BOTH or atheist?

Corn, we are not here to give you hard time, but make you realize realities of life, beyond your blind love. We hope you are financially independent and could ignore parents and marry by Civil Wedding as permitted in Singapore. We hope you go to the world and tell them that now you did it and kept religious superstitions and intolerant teachings out of your love.

Please get back to us with more questions. Best wishes. -Admin
