Re: Should I or should I not..date
Sounds like you’re under peer pressure? Let me guess, they must have at some point also expressed their displeasure about why you don’t drink, hit the clubs etc? It’s one thing to question you out of curiosity while being respectful of your beliefs and another thing to ask the question in a way that makes you feel like you’re stupid for making those choices. In one ear and out the other. Don’t start dating non-Muslims just because these guys think you’re missing out on all the “fun”. Yes, do expand your social circle beyond the Pakistani/desi community and do get to formally know other non-Pakistani Muslims, there’s nothing wrong with that if the cultural differences aren’t an issue for ye. The reverts are usually better Muslims than most of us because they’ve researched the religion well before making the decision and it takes a lot of faith and commitment to a religion for you to convert. If you’re personally okay with dating/marrying a non-Muslim well then that’s your choice, go for it but know that it isn’t permissible and the marriage would be invalid from an Islamic perspective.
