Many here ,R not even muslim but they talk about islam /

So plz .stay on the right path and be patience ,Allah will help you.

Answer 2

Your friends are right, you should enjoy life or you'll miss out.

Allah can never be pleased, he's not been pleased for a very long time even after so many wars...let alone you a single person is going to make him happy by being isolating yourself.Becos Allah don't really exist.

Answer 3

I know this sort of situation v. well, sis. But Alhamdulillah, I have found a few friends who r excellent in their religion, and they just yank me back into place if they find me being too 'liberal minded'. And I do the same for them.

Most of us live in a kind of environment where we're surrounded by people tell us that it's OK to break the rules which our religion has set for us. And we find it difficult to follow our religion in the midst of them. So the best thing to do is to find good friends (that's my experience).

We just hang around together. We make acquaintances with many people, but don't listen to their non sense. And now our fellows do recognize us and consider us a cool group, 'cause we're mostly good in studies, and we don't go being self righteous, and we follow our own principles, and don't fight among ourselves about exam grades or foolish matters as they always do. Infact, now most of them don't even speak about stupid movies and music in front of us, because they feel dumb doing that, and us smiling at them mockingly. They only do it in the presence of other people. And a few even tried being mean and hooted at us, but we just ignored them totally. Even when they said something serious, we would pretend that they just don't exist. And we kept it up until either they came and apologized or got over their superiority complex. There r some trolls even now who get really mad at us.



So just be a v. sweet, cool person, but don't bend or allow urself to be influenced by these people. When they talk non sense or make dirty jokes, tell them kindly that u r not interested, and change the topic with a smile so that they feel really foolish. Don't try being saintly or needlessly pious. But if they ever see u breaking ur principles, then all of the respect they have for u will go crashing down. Find good friends, and get rid of the useless ones as fast as possible and that solves about half of ur problem, because they influence us more than anything else. Keep praying to Allah, and don't go about so miserable.

Try joining some good Islamic forum. Like Islam Channel forum. I think it's  really good. I'm a member myself, though a v. inactive one.

Answer 5

You are only given one life, and you are wasting it.

There is no God.  Research it with an open mind, and you'll see I'm right.

Answer 6

You know you have to option to not do it right? Religion is a personal choice. If someone forces it on you go tell them fu*k off. But if they will kill you if you don't then that's a different story.

Answer 7

Salam for you my dear friend. Please make our life wasy and do not be depressed and anxious because it will ruin your life.In every difficulty there is an easiness as stated in the surah Alam Nashrah of the Qur'an.Allah does not give us a burden that is bigger than our capability to bear it as stated in Al Baqarah. You must keep patientif you suffered bad lucks and you must say alhamdulillah if you obtain some good lucks. You must remember Allah at any time and make a zikkir.You must do a  wudhu and shalat when you are anxious and make a prayer or dua to Allah for getting rid of it.

You must make mandatory shalat on time and watching tv do not make you to forget your obligation to Allah.You must make a tahajjud shalat and a prayer after midnight for asking forgiveness and help to Allah.You must mingle with good muslim friends so you could not have bad impact of bad muslim and non muslim persons.. Enjoying life is allowed by Allah but it should be complied to the life guide given by Allah (Qur'an and hadits)

Answer 8

it has been said that Islam was the next flow of Christianity,,that in the bible it was said that another religious leader would rise at the year the prophet Mohamad rose but the Christians didnt want their followers to change the name of their religion to Islam so they tore those pages out of the bible, now it is two different religions with almost same beliefs!!

Have you ever read about this other group of muslims-The Ismaili people?

i have a friend who is a Ismaili, their religon is way more fun and easy than the rest of the muslims!

read this web and calm yourself---  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ismaili#Bel...

you will feel better after reading about that religion-- the Ismaili!

Answer 9

Look, my advice is be moderate.  I assure you that listening to music won't land you in h**l.  It's a matter of taste and a matter of continual self improvement.  You can't force that sort of thing.  I thought this youtube video might be of benefit.
