:salam2:, hope everyone is well inshallah
I wanted to talk about this because i believe its a vital issue in America particularly. Im an American Muslim near the end of High School, but i struggle to apply Islam to all aspects of my life, its very hard when you see your peers doing what you know they shouldnt be doing. My question is..
What are your thoughts on this and experience, for me i cant even deal with all of it.
I think the biggest issue is boyfriend/girlfriend or just 'friend'.I know issues arise when boys and girls meet as if their like friends, reason why its its not allowed in Islam. I try to avoid it as much as i can, but i can barely do anything about it. What am i supposed to do if we have group projects or situations where you have to? honestly Many of the Hijabi sister dont even realize it.
I was doing a project the other day with assigned with a Muslim girl that wears a Hijab, now she literally follows me and talks to me everywhere. I dont know where this is even going to lead too. Im like forced into a conversation. I enjoy the talking and everything but i feel regret after, or for some reason feel happy about getting to know new people better. Mixed feelings.
What are your views on western culture particularly the youth stage? I never even knew arranged marriages is the only halal marriage, and i know if i say a word about it in our Jummah Prayer meetings in school, probably everyone would tell me im wrong and ignore me and be humiliated.
I just want the youth to have a voice, because many older people dont know how they view the world after learning a good amount of knowledge about Islam.
problems in youth
-Girlfriend/boyfriend or 'friend'
-Peer pressure/Influence
-Use of vulgar language to seem cool
-Thinking people might view you as weird when you pray at work/anywhere public
-Backbiting
-Wanting to join the 'cool' group of kid's
-Type of clothing/modesty
-Many more..
I think the future lies in our youth, but first they must be able to speak out about important subjects teens deal in their country or culture
