Re: What would you do if your partner was an Atheist?

I’ll just be honest and say I struggle with religion too and do consider myself an atheist. Not gonna get into my beliefs but as far as my relationship with my SO, I was honest about it from day one and he, being religious, told me not to worry and that he’ll help me figure things out and how we’d work together. He knows I would never push my views on him, he is the only person to know that I’m an Atheist, and he knows I will never push it on our kids either because I do want my kids to be good muslims b/c I really like the conviction a good religious person has.

He was worried at first regarding how it would be if his family knew but this was in the early stages. He knows I dont share this with anyone except him, and that I want our kids to have Islam in their lives. Either way, he loves me like mad nonetheless and that’s that. He wanted me to start praying once a day whenever I felt like doing so and he agreed to quit smoking and that’s how things have been since.

Mashallah.
