ANSWER:

You should not pray for such a person! Ask Allah for someone who is a real Muslim and who would protect you and be a good father to your children.

So many marriages to such “reverts” end up miserably because their Islam was not genuine or because their Islam was weak.

QUESTION: Sheikh, Is it permissible for me to pray to get married to a person who is not a believer? I’ve been praying 6 times a day including tahajjud to Allah to make him a believer and to guide him. Should I continue or should I quit knowing that Allah didn’t choose him as a Muslim in the first place? Also, is it advised for me to ask them to believe in allah or not as it should be their own decision ?
