Isra
aka Tree2008
In my time of ignorance, I had 21 body piercings.
I took them out as a sign of submission to allah subhana wa ta ala. I also have a large tattoo on my leg but insha'Allah i will get it removed.
In my time of ignorance, I didnt really see the problem with how modern girls dress. I of course, dressed that way. (to my parents anguish)
And now...When i see a girl with a lot of facial piercings or a miniskirt i feel bad for her. Is she so attention starved that she wants this negative attention? She wants some gross pervert to oogle her and commit zina with her for 20 minutes and never see her again?
Islam is a lifeboat.
More women in the West need the REAL facts about Islam. Insha'Allah.
As salamo alaikome
I totally get what youre saying here sister but to be honest when we are living this way and we are ignorant to the meaning of life we dont really think about things in this context. I mean we do it because our friends are doing it or we do it because its the norm for where we live and we see it everyday! In fact if we dont follow what our friends are doing we actually feel as if there is something wrong with us! We never think about the harm that is in what we are wearing or what we are saying or how we are acting. We are blind and deaf as Allah says in Quran. We are in darkness where evil is on the menu and is served up on a daily basis. Islam is the light that causes our eyes to be opened and our ears to finally hear the truth. Then and only then do we feel sick to our stomach when we view another poor soul walking in the shoes we left behind. I wish with all my heart that Allah finds something good in them and guides them to the truth.
