Struggling Between Forbidden Love and My Faith

Salam everyone, I'm a white revert to Islam and I've been in a relationship that's considered haram since before I converted. My partner keeps trying to do things that go against what the Quran teaches, so I'm really confused and have a few questions. 1. Why is giving in to lust considered wrong? Growing up Christian, I was told it was wrong but never saw anyone act on it or talk about it much. In Islam, it seems more openly addressed-why is that? 2. What should I do in this situation? 3. If it's wrong, why does it feel so satisfying? 4. How can I fully commit my life to my Deen? Jazakallahu khayran for any advice. As a recent revert, I'm still learning, so please forgive any mistakes-they're mine, not Allah's (SWT).

Revert here too. It's a journey. Start with your salah, strengthen that connection. The other answers will become clearer. You've got this, insha'Allah.

I was in a similar spot. Islam talks openly because it gives clear guidance, not leaving you confused. The satisfaction is temporary, akhi. Focus on what's permanent.

The feeling is a test. What feels good now can harm your afterlife. Stay strong, cut off the haram. Your deen is worth more.

Lust clouds judgment. The rules are a mercy. May Allah grant you strength.

Brother, welcome to Islam. It's tough balancing love and faith. The rules are there to protect your soul. Pray istikhara and seek a knowledgeable sheikh for guidance. May Allah make it easy for you.
