🏡 Rights & responsibilities · #378
I have embraced Islam but my spouse has not yet. How do I share my faith without damaging our relationship?
The most effective dakwah to a spouse is beautiful character and patience, not pressure or arguments. Show how Islam makes you more loving, trustworthy and calm, because example touches more than argument. Avoid forcing or pressing; guidance is in Allah's hands and you only convey. Answer their questions with correct knowledge, and consult knowledgeable people if you are unsure. Keep doing good and upholding their rights as your spouse. On the ruling on whether the marriage continues in this situation, seek an explanation from the state religious affairs office. Pray for their guidance every day. See interfaith.
