InshaAllaah all are doing well
My college finishes next month and so they are going to have an 'The end of year prom'.
I remember back when I was in year 10, my older sister was in year 11 and they had a prom. My sister could of taken me, but I decided not to go. Then when I was in year 11, after our GCSEs, our year did a prom and all my friends were going and the majority of my friends are Muslim. I'm not judging, but I was kinda shocked because one of my good friend who is an athiest didn't go. Her reasons were that what is the point and we're not in america etc. She also thought it's a waste of time.
Anyway, still many of my Muslim friends went, and they usually cover but on that prom night they were wearing like sarees, lengha, kameez etc! And some even danced on stage with bollywood music infront of everyone.
One of my friends even drank from a fruit punch which actually had vodka in it (but she didn't know)
Also, my secondary school was a girls school and so on the prom night many girls got their boyfriends or boys that they chose to take to the prom. And someone even spicked one of the fruit punches :S
Many people got drunk and just lost their minds. There was music blearing out and boys and girls were mingling and dancing together.
Ohhh yhh and the headteacher of the school didn't allow the students to enter the hall unless they give him an admission fee.. and that was a kiss on the cheek! eeewww! lol
Anyways there were many fitnah present that night and I'm happy I didn't go. Though I will say back then deep down I did feel a teeny tiny incy wincy bit left out coz everyones having fun and partying and stuff and i'm at home. But then again I don't care because it's haram fun, right? And I remember after the prom all my friends were talking about it and stuff which kinda made me feel left out.
And I remember last year when i went sixth form they were planning a boat party at the end of the year and i decided to go because i thought "we're gna be on a boat, that's sooo cool" lol but then one of my practicing friends told me that its gna be haram because boys, alcohol, free mixing, music etc. : ( So I didn't go!
Anway, so this year they are doing another prom in my college and last week a girl in my class who is a student rep told me to come and i was like naah, and she was like it would be fun but I'm not going to go because it's not my thing. But wouldn't you feel kinda left out, because at the end of the year everyone is celebrating because of what they achieved etc, and then we can't because the way it is done is haraam.
Does anyone else out there face or have faced a similar situation? What are ur views and opinions regarding all this?
InshaAllaah looking forward to the replies Fi amaan Allaah.
