Boycott the Prom!!

[ajmal_ihsaas22]

What’s the one question in the world that we all know the answer to but insist on freaking asking it anyway? If you have an ounce of logic in your head or at least caught a glimpse of the title, you probably have realized by now that this article is about proms and boycotting them of sorts. The question “As a Muslim, can I go to prom?” usually gets asked about oh, let’s say 5000 times a week or something. Most imams and local sheikhs have developed a standardized reply. They sound like this:

Confused Muslim student: Sheikh, can I go to my school’s prom?
Sheikh: No.
Confused Muslim student: But-
Sheikh: Proms are Haram.
Confused Muslim student: But-
Sheikh: If you go you’ll be Haram
Confused Muslim student: But-
Sheikh: Don’t be Haram.
Confused Muslim student: But-
Sheikh: Shut up. Go pray two nafl.

I’m not here to give you a scholarly opinion. That’s not my job. I’m here to tell you why proms are for people who don’t really have much spunk in their lives which is why you shouldn’t go. If you have an ounce of coolness in you you’d boycott your prom just as I did.

“But isn’t like the prom the most amazing thing ever? Oh my gyad it’s like the kewlest thing ever invented.”

Yes… I’m sure its “kewl”. But it’s only cool for morons who have nothing else to do in their lives.

Proms are the pinnacle of a Western person’s life. Exactly what’s so amazing about it? Hell I don’t even know. You still see the same people after and the world is EXACTLY the same. Proms aren’t magical. And if they were then it’d be super Haram because black magic is a no-no

“But I just want to go to the prom or post-prom party and hang out with my friends LOL”

Yeah I’m sure you will. You’re just gonna be sitting in the corner on a crappy wooden chair while twiddling your thumbs and thinking to yourself, “Man this is so much fun. I’m glad I spent $300 on a suit/dress that’s getting wrinkled right now. I’m not here to impress anyone anyway but I’m sure people will think I’m cool, despite not being able to drink, dance, smoke, swear, wear shorts above the knees and all those other Haram activities.”

Or when you get macked on?

Or when something else Haram arises?

So the question is… what ISN’T Haram at the prom? Hardly anything. Proms suck. And you will suck for attending.

What can you do instead? Go out with your friends and have a good time. Anything with your buddies is more fun than the craptacular prom. It’s cheaper too. All your friends going to prom? Then hang out with your mom. Moms are hilariously cool.


"But, all my friends pressure me to go. I HATE PEER PRESSURE. *screams*”

This one is easy. Do what I did… play off the whole “I’m-too-good-for-this-lame-prom” bit.

“Yo you buy your tickets yet?”
“Tickets for what?”
“PROM! OBVIOUSLY.”
“Nah man. I’m busy.”
“TOO BUSY? WHA-”
“I know. I’m the man. Maybe next time?”

Making yourself look busy makes you appear cool and “above-the-system.” If they make fun of you, then you can make fun of them for spending $400 or more on a night they probably won’t remember because they’ll get hammered.

We’re too good for proms. Spend your time doing something cooler. I hear Jenga is amazing.

LISITEN TO THIS NAAT WHILE HEARING MY SOTRY, TRUST ME IT HELPS GET INTO WHAT I'M SAYING, IT GETS YOU MORE INTO WHAT I'MSAYING LIKE WHEN YOU READ A STORYBOOK.

[yt]JqLPN5fdE_c[yt]



Yeah my friends in school keep on asking me if I'm going to go to the prom or if I'm going to ask anyone to the prom and I say NO. I got other things to do than looking at this "cute" girl! (I was being sarcastic) I mean, what's the point? You know bra, there's other things in life than just girls or that "Ahh I can't take my eyes off that women!" ! wth?

That's why I fel to myself, man Mashallah I'm Muslim and that I aint a faggot (sorry but I'm so angry I just HAD to say it) who jsut wants all the girls in the class to like him.

And just looking (trust me, Wallahi I DON'T look at them I meant that just thinking back) at these things makes my Eman stronger and I feel proud for being Muslim, proud that NO ONE or NOTHING motivates me to do a good thing OTHER THAN ALLAH! I wouldn't go become a Shaheed or go for Jihad or spend my nights Fisibilillah, just to go get this wife or girl or virgin in Jannah! So what if I'm never married in this world? I probably wouldn't even get married in Jannah either!

Do you know, why I was born? I have something, a commitment to do in this Duniyah, and the Akirah! That means: JUST FOR ALLAH! I'd smile when I take Shuhadah (When I die as a shaheed) because I'd be happy because I'm with ALLAH! ALLAH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS WITH ME WHEN I HAD TO SUFFER AND GO THROUGH EVERYTHING, THE FITNAH AND STUFF, EVERDAM DAY IN SCHOOL!

WHO'S THE ONE WHO PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER DURING HARD TIMES? WHO'S THE ONE WHO SHINES HIS RADIANT NUR UPON MY FACE AND GIVES MY HOPES AND EMAN HIGHER? ALLAH!

AND I'M NOT BRAGGING ABOUT THESE THINGS SO EVERYONE LIKES ME, IT'S JUST THAT I JUST HAD TO EXPLODE IT ALL OUT YOU KNOW, IT MAKES ME FEEL AT EASE TALKING YO SOMEONE ABOUT WHAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

There's no oen that I care about in this worl than Allah, and no one in the Akirah. Even if I'm in chains for eternity, I'd still be doing Salat to Allah. As long as I know Allah's there looking down at me, then I KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. AS LONG AS KNOW AND RELIZE THAT ALLAH TA ALA IS THERE, THEN THERE'S NOTHING THAT I'M SCARED OF, AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'M GOING TO FEEL ANGUISED, BECAUSE ALLAH'S LOVE TO ME IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

Yo everyday it's like a struggle to survive, a struggle for my Eman, for my Deen. Nouzubillah I give in at the end of the day (that's because half way through the school day I feel tired and I feel hopeless and start doing stuff that I would never feel like doing.) AND ALL RIGHT I'LL ADMIT IT, I DO GIVE IN AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT I'M NOT A MUNAFIQ INSHALLAH, I JUST MAKE MISTAKES. AND BESIEDS, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME WHAT EVERYOEN THINKS OF ME, IT'S IF ALLAH IS STILL SMILING AT ME, WHICH HE ALWAYS IS, BECAUSE EVEN IF I'M DOWN, ALLAH TAKES OUT HIS HAND AND LIFTS ME UP INTO HIS BED OF LIGHT, THE LIGHT THAT'S SO WARM, IT WOULD MAKE ME START HITTING MYSELF BECAUSE I'M SOOO HAPPY THAT ALLAH IS OUT THERE. THAT BRINGS THE TEARS TO MY EYES. IT'S JUST THAT I FEEL DOW NBECAUSE I FEEL IF I STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT UP, IF ALLAH CAN STILL EXCEOT ME AS A HAFEZ AND ALIM WHEN I GROW UP, BEACUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE A MUNAFIQ.

But in the end, I know there's always another chance to be better. Allah forgives any sin if the person regrets doing it. if it isn't that serious though. Even if it's Zeinah, whcihc is serious, Allah will still forgive you if you regret doing it or if it's soemthing out of habit that you can't feel like you can help yourself. But if you at least have a Niyaat to be better, to prove better, and change, that's what Allah loves, for Alla hloves those who turn into repentance.

JAzakallah Kyr for reading. May Allah give any bro or is who ever read this Jannah Ameen.
Because it makes me feel great that finally someone can know how it's like for me, that I they know the hardships that I go thru because it helps if you can talk to a family, and my TRUE FAMILY IS HERE, TTI! THAT'S WHY WE'RE TOGETHER, FOR EACH OTHER, FOR THE UMMAH, FOR ALLAH!

Allahu Akbar!


Assalamu Alykum.

My friends keep bugging me to go to prom. Even before I was a Muslim I didn't want to go. Too much money anyways. If I remember, I think the ticket price for prom last year was $145.

My friend Gisella kept saying she's going to force me to go to prom. She was going to buy me a ticket and buy me a dress. Other friends kept saying "you have to go it's your senior prom!" It gets really, really, really annoying.


I don't see what the big deal is about the prom anyways. Bad food, bad music, seeing people grind on each other isn't that fun to watch either.

Nice nasheed Jazkallah khayr.

That's why I fel to myself, man Mashallah I'm Muslim and that I aint a faggot (sorry but I'm so angry I just HAD to say it) who jsut wants all the girls in the class to like him.

Lol - exactly

And just looking (trust me, Wallahi I DON'T look at them I meant that just thinking back) at these things makes my Eman stronger and I feel proud for being Muslim, proud that NO ONE or NOTHING motivates me to do a good thing OTHER THAN ALLAH!

Ofcourse you dont look - you're a muslim dude >>
(and thats the way it should be. You know its really good that you recognise this, some people dont even understand that at my age lol...university is a nightmare sometimes)

I wouldn't go become a Shaheed or go for Jihad or spend my nights Fisibilillah, just to go get this wife or girl or virgin in Jannah! So what if I'm never married in this world? I probably wouldn't even get married in Jannah either!

InshAllah, it wont be like that, and remeber everything we do should be for the sake of Allah, everyday at school should be done with the intention to please Allah (S) and Allah does test us. he tests the ones who he really wants to give Jannah so if your tested then underneath it all you know you will be rewarded...just pass the test

...That means: JUST FOR ALLAH! I'd smile when I take Shuhadah (When I die as a shaheed) because I'd be happy because I'm with ALLAH! ALLAH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS WITH ME WHEN I HAD TO SUFFER AND GO THROUGH EVERYTHING, THE FITNAH AND STUFF, EVERDAM DAY IN SCHOOL!

Its not supposed to be easy, the tests which Muslims have to do is a test of whether they are really worthy of being called Muslim or if they just pretend to be.

There's no oen that I care about in this worl than Allah, and no one in the Akirah. Even if I'm in chains for eternity, I'd still be doing Salat to Allah. As long as I know Allah's there looking down at me, then I KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT MATTERS. AS LONG AS KNOW AND RELIZE THAT ALLAH TA ALA IS THERE, THEN THERE'S NOTHING THAT I'M SCARED OF, AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'M GOING TO FEEL ANGUISED, BECAUSE ALLAH'S LOVE TO ME IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

Allah is pleased with Muslims who struggle for his sake, you have to carry on struggling.

Yo everyday it's like a struggle to survive, a struggle for my Eman, for my Deen. Nouzubillah I give in at the end of the day (that's because half way through the school day I feel tired and I feel hopeless and start doing stuff that I would never feel like doing.) AND ALL RIGHT I'LL ADMIT IT, I DO GIVE IN AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT I'M NOT A MUNAFIQ INSHALLAH, I JUST MAKE MISTAKES. AND BESIEDS, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME WHAT EVERYOEN THINKS OF ME, IT'S IF ALLAH IS STILL SMILING AT ME, WHICH HE ALWAYS IS, BECAUSE EVEN IF I'M DOWN, ALLAH TAKES OUT HIS HAND AND LIFTS ME UP INTO HIS BED OF LIGHT, THE LIGHT THAT'S SO WARM, IT WOULD MAKE ME START HITTING MYSELF BECAUSE I'M SOOO HAPPY THAT ALLAH IS OUT THERE. THAT BRINGS THE TEARS TO MY EYES. IT'S JUST THAT I FEEL DOW NBECAUSE I FEEL IF I STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT UP, IF ALLAH CAN STILL EXCEOT ME AS A HAFEZ AND ALIM WHEN I GROW UP, BEACUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE A MUNAFIQ.

you should chill a little, seriously, (and dont do the shiah act either lol) Try to keep muslim company if you can, never forget to pray salah in school and do dhikr whenever you remember or you think you may do something wrong. Also trust your own judgement even if other muslims are telling you something is okay..when it might not be.

But in the end, I know there's always another chance to be better. Allah forgives any sin if the person regrets doing it. if it isn't that serious though. Even if it's Zeinah, whcihc is serious, Allah will still forgive you if you regret doing it or if it's soemthing out of habit that you can't feel like you can help yourself. But if you at least have a Niyaat to be better, to prove better, and change, that's what Allah loves, for Alla hloves those who turn into repentance.

exactly - phew...

Because it makes me feel great that finally someone can know how it's like for me, that I they know the hardships that I go thru because it helps if you can talk to a family, and my TRUE FAMILY IS HERE, TTI! THAT'S WHY WE'RE TOGETHER, FOR EACH OTHER, FOR THE UMMAH, FOR ALLAH!
