Most of my family lives there (scandinavian countries)...
I love Sweden, it's such a beautiful country...
Assalama aleikum. Yes sis you're right. Sweden is such a beautiful country. It's peaceful, it's green, it's clean and quite mashaALlah. But it's very devoid of religion. I think even most swedish people are not practising christians but live by traditions such as christmas, easter, hallowen and Mid-summer.
In mid-summer they dress up and have special food and dance around a cross that is beautified with flowers. They then dance around the cross and there's a particualr song in which you dance and hop like a frog. And all the girls collect 7 different flowers to place under their pillows at night so they can dream about their husbands or bag the best man for a husband.
SubhanAllah when i lived there it all seemed so much fun and play. Just writing it down makes me think...."Why do this? This is awfully weird." for many people this world is a play, a continous play.
When I lived in Sweden I seemed to live in a bubble. We seemed to think that life in sweden was so perfect. Even when it comes to politics Sweden is so laid back and they don't really play a big part in other countries politics.
But it's devoid of belief in God and therefore one may feel very empty when living there at times. Allahu 'Alam.
No offence to my swedish brothers and sisters and friends though. Sweden is a loveley country overall.
Amirah
