My fiancee is muslim and I am Christian

In a year I will be moving to Egypt to mary my Fiance Amr.  I am an American Christian women so this is a big move for me.  Amr want me to convert to Muslim and to raise our future children Muslim.  I would like to know what is the difference between Christianity and Muslim and what is expected of a good Muslim wife. 

I know that Amr is a very sweet man, and he has told me he will not keep me in a restricted marrage but I am still scared,  now that we have been engaged for 3 months we decided to have a clean slate and tell eachother of sins we have done in the past, I told Amr of my romances and sexual relations in the past.  I thought it was only fair of him to know.  I would never cheat on him or think of being unfaithful but he told me that even though he forgives the past transgretions he would kill me or divorse me if they happened from now on.  Since that is not something I would do should I worry or do I just let it go?

Have you ever been to Egypt?

Cause girl no one could tell you like i can. I am american revert to Islam and just returned from Egypt.

I have all the inside info and honestly, you have to look at the person. He may have said something like that, but look where he comes from. You know his real character, so what do you think?

Plesae follow your heart but be prepared for what is instore for you.

Take care

Farrah

Bismillah,

I agree with Jenni that you should seriously reconsider marrying someone who would theaten to kill you for something, anything.  This is a serious character flaw.  A person like this has other, hidden difficulties that manifest themselves over time.

However, this said, people say things jokingly or lovingly and the words aren't the important thing.  You must decide if he was serious or meant you to take him seriously.  You are young and your whole life is ahead of you.   Rami's suggestion might seem difficult, but it would be good to see him in his home environment, and meet and get to know his family first before marriage.

And Islaam is the kindest faith.  Allah, SWT, forgives our sins without an intercessor or blood sacrifice.  Allah, SWT, knows if our intentions are pure, and that is all that is needed for forgiveness.  When Allah, SWT, created this earth, he promised that his Mercy is greater than his Wrath.  And Allah, SWT, is neither male nor female!

Pray for guidance.  Allah hears all prayers, stardust.

You should know him for two years and get to understand his character and how he is reacting to different situations good and bad before you think of marrying him, let alone moving to another country. Religion is a big difference and you would be better to embrace Islam with your whole heart with your success in mind, not his acceptance.

Three months is not enough time to know someone enough to marry them. This may be normal in some cultures which are Islamic, but usually the families know each other and their is a Wali who can negotiate on your behalf. Don't be confused by what you are feeling now, follow your most reasonable thoughts, ask God to help you to make the best decision. It's best to wait some time to know this person better. Why WHY did you tell him of your past mistakes? Like children, men should be on a NEED TO KNOW BASIS. How would this information benefit the relationship? Mistake you made in my opinion. If he is mad what if he uses this information to hurt you and undermine your character. It is imperative to get to understand his character and see how he can deal with life's difficuties for a while before you make a commitment.
