Muslim Girl and Jewish Boy Celebrate Their Love with a Song [Video]

Does love have any boundaries?

Muslim fell in love with a Jew

Misha, who was born and raised a Muslim, fell in love with a Jewish boy Miller. Now they both have a song to share their incredible story.

Misha was born in Karachi, Pakistan, and her boyfriend in suburban Los Angeles. Their story started from way back in High School. But before we get into it let’s give this poppy jazz song a listen:

An Adorable Beginning

Misha moved to the United States of America when she was 12 years old. Fast forward to high school, she met Sammy Miller at a United Nations Conference for high school students.

As it happens, Miller felt the need to share with Misha how beautiful she looked to him. Misha, only 16 at the time, gave him no response. Reliving the memory, Miller said:

She didn’t say anything because it was kind of a weird thing to say.

The two of them did not hit it off until ten years later when Misha went to one of Sammy Miller’s concerts. Their love for each other led them to February 12th, 2020, when Miller released his song in collaboration with his band.

Love is love is love

Despite the societal taboos that people from two different religious backgrounds face, Misha and Miller came out of these hurdles stronger. They had a profound love for each other, enough to not let naysayers get their way.

Societal pressures might be a hurdle, but love comes in all shapes, sizes, religions, and ethnicities.

While the song is about their hardships and struggles, it is also about their love and acceptance of each other. For any parent who disapproves of someone’s love on the basis of religion, this song says it all.

We wasn’t trying to disobey, but love is funny that way…

…We wasn’t trying to cause a scene, but then cupid struck, just my luck, I found my queen. Momma might think it’s cruel Daddy feels like a fool For love, let’s break the rules.

Respect for Each Others Traditions and Beliefs

Even though they come from different backgrounds, both Misha and Miller respect each others traditions and religious festivities. Both of them enjoy both celebrating and mourning together. Sammy recalls how Misha sat with him through his grandfather’s shiva, and how he then learned about Islam’s equivalent of the Jewish mourner’s Kaddish prayer.

This Muslim fell in love with a Jew for the person that he is and for how they make each other feel. Have anything to add? Let us know!
