Is there a Muslim here who is willing to talk?

hi I’m a Muslim girl , and I’m very very depressed. I have a lot of family problems. And now I have a health problem . here is my story. My parents got divorced when I was 14, I’m 20 now. I lived with my mom and last year I decided to move in with my American Christian boyfriend. He is so sweet and nice , we have been together for one year and we dont even have sex. I’m a virgin. In august my mom asked me to move back with her I’m new jersey I live in Chicago. I went to new jersey for a week and a half and I told her I want to come back to Chicago to “study” well me and my mom dont talk anymore, and this hurts me. Because I love her so much and I want to live by her but I love my boyfriend so much and I want her to accept him even though hes not Muslim. He is willing to change for me. I havent talken to my dad or brother overseas in months because I dont have money to call them . I miss them so much. :[ my other sister lives in Chicago to, she lived with me for 2 days and moved out with her friend . Because I’m “ too strict”. None of my family calls me, and I feel like nobody except my boyfriend loves me. And that saddends me so much. I can’t stop thinking about the past, when I was young and happy. I went to the doc the other day and they said I have a low white blood cell count. And I havent slept in 2 nights and two days. I havent ate nothing except half a sandwhich in 2 days because I’m so scared there will be somthing terribly wrong with me. I just can’t take it any more. I’m so depressed, I havent been a good Muslim for one year and I feel guilty. I feel like god is disapponted. Will somebody guide me? Give me advice?

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatahu salaams (peace and blessings) to all of you guys for helping one another in such a way irrespectful of their religion,and I should add that religious tolerance is still alive. First of all sister you need to go and eat sumthing,not eating wudnt help in anyway.As far as your medical condition is have faith in Allah/God Inshallah everything would be fine just hang in there.This is just a bad phase that you are going thru and for sure there must be something that god has in store for you so you don’t need to be disheartened.As far as getting reunited with your parents try to sort things out with them even if you don’t want to, do it for Allah,if they do then go ahead with it if not do what you feel is right.I am really proud of you and I really respect your boyfriend for watevr he has done for u ,he is a really nice guy,as far as getting married is concerned ,when hes ready to convert, I don’t think theres any issue of getting married to him go ahead. May Allah guide us all.I will pray for you and all our brothers and sisters irrespective of our religions to ease our difficulties.Inshallah he will listen to all of us Ameen.

I am not Muslim so I don’t know how your family feels on living with a guy. I am sure it is like a lot of American families though. I want to say that I think you are great for living with your boyfriend and not having sex! Maybe if you explain this to your Mom(as ackward as it may be) she will see that he is a good man. Let her know that you love her and you are going through a hard time right now and really need her to be there for you and not shun you! My Mother has a low white blood cell count. They have tested her for EVERYTHING! They can’t find anything wrong with her so she just keeps getting blood tests done every month. She had gotten very sick and the tested her but ever since then she has been fine. She has not been sick again. So maybe it is nothing. Just don’t get yourself sick over it and try not to worry until you talk to your doc again. Things may seem terrible now but hang in there. God has a plan for us all and though times are hard this will pass. From what you have said I can’t see how you have been a bad Muslim. You seem like a good person who loves her family and has a great guy! I will pray for you and if you ever need to talk then just write me. God bless!

I am not a Muslim, I am a Christian, and my heart goes out to you. It is awesome that you have enough self restraint to live under the same roof with a young man, and not have sex. That is really something !!! I admire you tremendously.

If you are 20, then you are old enough to go ahead and get married. I do not know how things are in your culture, but, that is the way it is in ours.

Everyone truly wants the blessings of their parents, but, sometimes, couples end up married without the blessing of the parents. Most times, I would think, the parents eventually see how much the couple love one another, and accept the marriage.

Given the fact that you love your mate, and you are already living together, it would seem only natural to me, to marry.

It can def. be a problem, when two different faiths merge. It is according to how devout each person is to their own set of beliefs, as to whether they can bridge the differences and still stay compatable.

It would seem to me, more important than the families beliefs.

When you take a spouse, it is for life, hopefully, and he then, is your family. Hopefully your biological family will one day accept you as a couple, if not, then be prepared to make it on your own.

I would suggest much prayer on both sides, to find a solution to this.

As to the way you are feeling, this is stress and it will make you sick. You need to find peace, and let the worry go. Stress can affect all areas of our bodies, including bringing us into depression.

Find a way to let this go. Concentrate on making yourself feel better, before you get sick. God loves you, he is not mad at you. He will help you, if you seek him. Get in touch with him, thru prayer. Allow his spirit to minister to your spirit. He can bring the peace that you need, he can also, find solutions to the problems, that you face. Trust him, seek him.

Please funmail me, if you would like to, I will be more than glad to pray for you, also, here are a couple of prayer lines where you can place prayer requests:
