"Path of Allah, Allah's teachings, will not be achieved inside and about a man only through Revelation. It will not be achieved even if you read or teach the doctrine. Allah also does not want His power to change the individual's inner being, if the man himself does not pursue the teaching of Allah and his victory. The aspirations of the believer is to submit all your being, your strength, will and knowledge. The man ensures the victory of Islam within himself with hisr own struggle against the negative passions and evils that are contrary to the teachings of Allah. The extent of the victory in the fight for the perfection of the soul depends on the strength of human desire and effort. One only has to want strongly, because Islam easily comes into human soul. Islam is well-familiar with one's ​​abilities and character. It approaches you as Allah wants it. And this is the right path - the path of Allah"--quote from "With the Power of Faith to the Perfection of Soul."

Hi All,

I'm new here.

I became a muslim some decade or so ago and have been quite a devout muslim all this time. But for the past year or so I have been drifting towards christianity. I even became christian for a while (not officially converting but going to church and adopting the prayers etc) but didnt find that inner peace that I had with Islam; but since then I havent found that sanctity in Islam either. It has become something safe and easy to revert to in times of crisis.

I dont really know what I want, except that I love God very much, and want a real realtionship with him; but whatever decision I will make will change my life drastically. If I leave Islam my non muslim family will be happier. If I become a christian it could ruin my marriage as my husband is a very devout muslim.

Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas etc?

I don't think it matters what you call yourself. As far as I can tell the only thing in this life that can give a person true inner peace is love. Whether you follow the traditions of Islam or Christianity, if you love God and your fellow man, you are are walking the path of life. You are going to believe what you believe in the end and there's not much you can do to change this. My advise is to be honest with yourself. Don't force anything, but rather let your faith fall into place. What matter most is your condition of heart. None of us have all the answers, but if you are honest in your beliefs and if you allow love to develop within yourself, I'm pretty sure you'll find where you belong.

There is nothing more important than family. You can love God without being a religious person. Besides, you are not happy with your present religion. You don't have to embrace any as long as you embrace your family. Since your husband is your immediate family, if there is real love between you two, stay where you are, albeit not too committed. If you guys ever get away from each other, then you are free to approach your non muslim family. But you still don't have to commit yourself to show that you love God. Danger lies in the path of every fundamentalist.
