As salamu alaikkum, Wow Im glad to know I am not left out as well lol
2 Years back just before my gcse I remember this very prom and I remember people forcing me to come, and it would be fun, limosines and on n on, yet something stopped me, and I do not know what. I was less practising then, but yet kept up with my obligations in Islam. But something told me that this is shaytaan disguised in the form of friends at that time. Though my friends sounded very nice and convincing, something told me that shaytaan is in them. Many people who used to pray and that went and when they used to talk about it, I did used to feel left out, but when I came to find out about all the haram things that went on, I thought to myself, Alhamdulillah out of 1000's of students from the school, Allah T'ala, Glory be to Him, chose to guide me. And I always thought about that prom, of how Allah subhana wa t'ala chose to guide only me, when the entire year 11 was there and some year 10's (Don't know what they were doing there). I am glad to know that you understand this is haram, and really things like these are what shaytaan is waiting for. He is waiting for us to fall into traps like this, because he knows he cannot make us fall into kufr, so he tries to drag us down into Major sins, surely it is Allah azza wa jal who guides. And yes this year they are doing that as well. People going on about how this is the final year and missing everyone, and free mixing has become more widespread due to this fact in my college. Even last week we gave a friday khutbah warning people against music and this prom. We done newsletters and gave it out as well. Our job from our side was done as part of the college, we gave the message and now it is for Allah to guide the people. Subhanallah this is like one of them ALL-IN-ONE games kind of thing, where all the haram is all in one night. Free mixing, music, dance, women putting their haya out on sale, alcohol etc. Subhanallah.
Once again think back at how Allah subhana wa t'ala chose to guide you mashallah, and I feel very happy for you. I guess we both owe a lot of good deeds to Allah subhana wa t'ala just for saving us from this major fitnah. For if we were to see the punsihments of this major fitnah, then we would have hated what we see.
LOL I mostly never even try going around high streets most of the times, due to the fitnah there, let alone the prom. Probably you could get some mates and go for a talk in some masjid or something hehe
(Not late at night or anything though). I am not very fussy about leaving college, apart from the brothers I have been with. But I will be keeping close in touch with them like everyday anyways, so not a problem, because all my mates are local, alhamdulillah. But the only thing I might miss from college is, the prayer room, the bun and humous we ate on friday afternoon, and the bengali chicken shop we used to go after college
I probably might miss the chicken shop more than the college itself hehe
Anyways let us thank Allah subhana wa t'ala for guiding us till this point and keeping us away from some major sins. May Allah subhana wa t'ala help keep our brothers and sisters away from this filthy thing called "Prom" and May Allah subhana wa t'ala forigve us from our sins that we commit knowlingly and unknowingly, ameen. Fee Amaan Allah
