The sisters, I am getting the impression they want to catch a good Muslim brother...have socials but charge a small fee. Within the guidelines of Islam.
Our faith tells us to be practical and active.
:salam2:
I dont know what the sister was trying to point out here, but I have to remind us that this sort of "socializing" (i.e.: hanging out with men - which is not within the guidelines of Islaam), is very dangerous and is a sin - an imitation of the kuffaar, who have lost every sort of dignity and moral values in their society today.
Islaam tells us to be practical and active but within the guidelines of its laws, which are the most virtuous and pure in the world, for most people know not!
Look at the results of this form of unrestrained "socializing" in the West, and quick you will come to realise that it makes you feel pity for these people, and they think - (
they don't think at all, unfortunately) - that they have reached the peak of civilization - (
degradation, and in fact a deadend). Depression, Drugs, alcohol, prostitution, violence, kids killing their classmates (westerns have done their job well), not mentioning pedophelia and rape which have become a daily rutine in the west. These are the results when people abandon the valuable teachings of their Lord - Allaah swt (even though if not from Islaam I dont know where they could have obtained them anyway, from their altered Books certainly not).
[
Sa'ud Al-Shreim dedicated his Friday sermon at Al-Haram Mosque to women in the West and in Islam and to the differences between the genders. Following are excerpts:
Sheik Al-Shreim: What (Western) countries did in reality, in order to liberate the woman was to turn her into contemptible merchandise in houses of whoring and abomination, into banal images in music videos or a seductive body for marketing goods and so on, in commercials which can only be marketed by a woman's body.
Complete liberation in the woman's issue is a beast ridden by the ignorant and credulous or those who lead others astray and sow seeds of confusion creating a breach in the social harmony of the Muslim country. Out of this window, the time bombs are thrown. Moreover, this is the door through which the Apple of Satan appears, because the word 'liberty' has a bewitching affect on common people, especially adolescent boys and girls.]
And we poor muslims look at them and think they are having a great life (I'm talking about those muslims that see the west only on their TV and other sources of informations), we do not see the plague that has befallen them to take heed and thank Allaah swt and seek His help and protection from such a state.
We have to learn Islaam first from the pure Source, that is the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah, which is free from these immoral and misguiding teachings, imply it ourselves first and then teach it to others as mush as we can insha Allaah. That way we can hope for a betterment of our society, no matter whether we live in a muslim or non-muslim country. These people need the Light of Islaam, which is their escape from this misery and disorder.
May Allaah swt help us muslim first get ourselves right and then to be able to show others what they are missing in their life.
I ask for apology if I hurt anyone, for it was not my intention.
wasalaam.
