He is not a practicing Muslim and does not do things that Allah would accept so i'm struggling to see why he want's me to change my religion. Would anyone be   able to help.

hey kelly,

I find it very hypocritical of him, asking you to covert, while he is engaged in premarital affair which is obviously against the nature of Islam.

You should ask him to �practice what he preaches�.
Maybe you can surprise him by breaking up, since Islam doesn�t permits intermingling of opposite sex.

Coming to your question �so i'm struggling to see why he want's me to change my religion� I cannot comment on it without knowing more about his background.
Ie, what�s his ethnicity, his age? What country you live in? Have you met his family?

Belive it or not, cases of marraige for sake of passport/citizenship are very common.

P.S; you should not give up your believe for someone, rather accept it on your own, agianst any pressure.

  Hi  Kelly,
 
   I have one short advice for you. You should educate yourself about Islam from good books and from the good sources of knowledge not from Muslims. Many Muslims these days have nothing to do with the true Islam. Many are Muslims just by names.
 May Allah guide us into the truth.

  Good books are written by good Muslims. Those are not the Muslims I am talking about. I mean these days many Muslims do not represent Islam. They just confuse others and give the wrong ideas about this religion.

   It is good to read the books of Muslims of the ages of Sahabah and Tabeen, Quraan and Sunnah, Bukhari and Muslim. Then after that reading books of Muslims who followed them in their ways.

   May Allah be pleased..

  Well this is a good question. She needs to start with a good translation of Qura'an which is approved by association of Muslims or a known organization. Then she tries to read Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Then, there are many many books who are known by every Muslim to be true and good sources of Islam. Also reading about the biography of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is a very good way to know the true Islam and its manners. If you can get Al- Raheek Al- Makhtoom book in English that will be really great.
   And Before everything she needs to ask Allah a lot to guide her into the truth. We all do that and need it even with every prayer.
