Does she need to convert to Islam or can I marry her as a Christian?

Q:I am from Iraq, I met a philipino girl. I am Muslim and she is
christian. We have a strong relationship,we want to get marred but we
have a problem about religion. I want her to become a Muslim but she
refuses that, but she says that she is OK if our kid raised as Muslim.
I am not sure, is that OK for me to get marred her as a Christian
girl.
Please give me some advice.
Many thanks

A: AsSalamualaikum,
Though it is allowed (marrying Christian girls), Muslim men are
advised tomarry Muslim girls.
The former could complicate your life. You can not have as Peaceful a
life as you can have with aMuslim girl.
And many Christians of today do idol worship andsome also practice
polytheism. Hence, it is advised that you choose a good Muslimah for
yourself in marriage and forget about this girl who isn't ready to
accept Islam.
Do Istikhaarah and look for a perfect girl who is Pleased with Allah
as her Lord, Islam as her Deen, and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam as the Prophet and Messenger.
I hope it helps.
