Question 11775 from United States
I reverted to Islam, does this now mean I have to divorce my christan husband of over 16 years?
We have been happily married, and now are no longer to have children. He does not mind my being muslim and respects my beleifs. We love each over very much and do not want to part. And he is not willing to revert to Islam just to say married, only if it came from his heart then he would revert. But Its not likely to happen anytime soon.
Answer 11775
If the non-Muslim woman reverts to Islam but her non-Muslim husband does not do so, then after the passing of 3 menstrual cycles, the marriage will terminate.
We understand your predicament and sympathise with you. If you are able to separate from your husband if he does not revert to Islam, then in the eyes of Allah, this would be highly loved and appreciated. If you cannot part from him, then you should not turn away from Islam. Therefore, if you have to remain with him, then daily make Istighfaar (seek Allah's forgiveness) and constantly invite your husband towards Islam with Hikmat (wisdom) and patience. Do not be overbearing as this might turn him away from Islam.
May Allah Ta'ala bless your husband with Islam, make your life easy for you and may He grant you the strength and ability to obey his commands, Aameen.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

"If the non-Muslim woman reverts to Islam but her non-Muslim husband does not do so, then after the passing of 3 menstrual cycles, the marriage will terminate."
What happens if she's post menapause?
Well, then, how Christian could he really be?
"May Allah bless your husband with Islam" my ass.
I feel incredibly sorry for this guy.
Wow. Does that restore virginity too?
It should be "perverted."
I suppose she'll just have to chop his head off, then...
Christian enough to know that you're supposed to love and forgive anyone, regardless of their 'religion' in this case.
My question is, who are you to judge?
The problem of the marriage will pale in comparison to spending enterity in hell.
Why in the world would a WOMAN choose to follow Islam??? What does she get when she dies?
By the way, this website is hysterical. These people literally cannot wipe their bottoms without knowing "What Would Allah Do?"
The woman is obviously demon possessed, and needs some de-programming otherwise she has a sado-masochistic personality....
My only question is that if she's so dedicated to Islam, and he's so dedicated to Christianity, then why didn't they marry fellow believers?
Some outreach program they got goin' there.
She gets to become one of those 700 Virgins...
This drama must repeat frequently here in the SF Bay area. There are many couples such as this living here.
It's funny, and sad, but you two really need to get a life...

In the name of peace and love, simply cut his head off.
tpod = TO.
Sheesh, me and my typing.
