Is it normal that my Muslim ex kept trying to make me convert?
Okay before i start, idk anything abt the teachings of Islam or about muslims,i'm an atheist but I still think it's nice to know one or two things about different religions to just think about. He was definitely great as a person, really kind and amazing but whenever it was the topic of religion he'd say how he's scared I'd go to hell for not being a muslim..? I would be very taken aback whenever he said that, he'd say the same thing abt his friends like how he doesn't want us to suffer for eternity bc we're not muslims...like I remember I told him I kissed a girl before and then he said "it's fine, if you become a muslim then your sins will be washed away" like??? I never considered it a "sin" in the first place?? Which was surprising considering he has alot of queer friends that I was also friends with.. but when he'd make me learn a thing or two abt the religion it always felt like he wanted to make me feel bad and start being a muslim, it used to weird me out alot considering how he used to keep saying Allah is the ultimate God and he's the one that really exists and that it's better to support that than believing something that might not exist ( just to be clear tbh i didn't agree with him on any of this but I didn't want to argue with him either) One time I just burst at him saying "well if I'm gonna suffer for eternity after my death I might as well do it after I date alot of girls with no regrets" which PISSED him off SO bad that we agreed to never bring up religion in our convos
the concept of being a muslim and DATING?!? T_T. like please, you should've clocked him saying, "well you being in a premarital relationship with me is also HARAM so guess we both going to hell!" lmao that would've shut him up. reply
Do you genuinely believe this is the right platform to talk about Islam? The people on this website are probably among those furthest removed from the religion. No one here can really give you a true insight into the Muslim perspective. 1 reply
no, it's not normal. it's very weird and manipulative that he's gaslighting you like this. if you don't convert Islam, you'll be going to hell, nah, this is gaslighting and manipulative. 1 reply
It was extremely rude and disrespectful asshole behavior to say that kind of shit to you. That's never an appropriate way to treat someone you claim to care about reply
No that comeback you gave is hilarious . People that think touching anyone's body with consent can be considered a sin are ridiculous. Like why would a rational God (any) be like "you go to to hell for doing it with someone that has a the same reproductive organ as you where no one was harmed" compared to someone who raped someone with different re...... reply
The thing is, Islam forbid the ummah to force other people into converting. His intention is probably good(idk about dating before marriage tho) but the method of him trying to gaslight you is wrong.
Of course, the fear of the people he loved would stay in hell forever is valid. But reminding you every time? That'll just make things awkward. And ...... reply
As an ex Muslim yeah it’s pretty weird if bro wants to be with a Muslim girl then he should just go out with one who is already Muslim what’s the point of going out of his way to try and convert someone especially an atheist, I hope you don’t take it as all Muslims are like this he’s just really weird most of them tend to mind their own bus...... 1 reply
Stay away, people who pushes their religion onto you are not good people. Specially if they say u will die and suffer if you don't, they can't comprehend someone believing other things. reply
