but still, I wouldnt go for a male instructor not ever.
:salam2:
Yeh you do, loose clothing is definitely a form of hijaab.
hmm if I was in your place.. I wouldnt keep that instructor. Its good that the place is fully public an all that, but if he isnt aware of Islamic ettiquites then what if he actually tries to correct your posture or something? not cool.
It must be annoying you cant find a female...but try and keep trying. Me for example, still looking for a female driving instructor! its been like a whole year now....
Salaam akhi,
Okay, I was looking at your response differently. I thought you were being militant and saying that you can't wear baggy sweat pants.
I pull to a red light at night and just stare at the clouds and stars....
Salaam,
Alhamdulillah that you get these feelings. You know there are people out there that actually never catch these feelings. It sounds so easy and simple. That's exactly Islam does to the believers. It makes you contemplate. It makes you think. There are even some people in the world that never cry. Their hearts become as hard as a rock and their eyes become dry as cement. These feeling you get are from the mercy of Allah swt.
Inshallah things will gradually become better. When I was not practicing Islam I use to listen to a lot of music, but over time it just started fading away. It isn't important to me any more. Now, you don't hear a single noise in my car. I pull to a red light at night and just stare at the clouds and stars....
Figure when they realize I don't care and am not listening they will stop......
I used to be a shadow for a personal trainer. Whenever he wasn't there to work I used to train his clients. Bsed on my experience, touching will most likely involved to correct posture and for spotting. If you are uncomfortable with that, there are many gyms where they have a diffrent aerobic classes. You can attend those as an alternative. Many of them actually work on building muscle as well and has female instructors. If you want my honest opinion though, if a personal trainer touches you, it's not because he's doing it for the sake of touching you, it's to help you. They are health instructors and fall along the lines of a doctor. When I trained some of my boss's clients, some were Muslim women, and before I started to work with them I clarified them about touching. Most of them were actually surprised that I knew about it, and after I explained it to them, they allowed it because they knew it was for health reasons.
If you are gonna have a trainer, their job is to make sure you don't hurt yurself and a lot of times to do this they will need to spott you which involves touching.
