Al slam ALikum Brothers and sisters...

Well as some of you here know that I was born muslim, but wasnt practicing and alhamdulilah im practicing and My heart is full with Iman..

Well.... I born with a practicing family relegios with no bidah acoording to quran and sunnah, especially my mother she is sooo good muslim...

She taught me alot abt islam, even my school, i was in government school which teach alot of deen and alot of quran memorizing...


i was browsing myspace.com and i saw that one girl which was into these music convert to islam and she start posting blogs abt miracles of quran and other videos abt islam and some of them from this site also...

I just felt the iman came to my heart again and i cried alot, and regret my past... started to pray and make dua and do all the practice of islam, start to study all the other relegion all other theories to make sure that isalm is the true relegion .. and its the true relegion no doubt , i felt like im a convert not a born muslim but al hamdilluah it dosent matter as long as im practicing muslim now...

the problem is:
I couldnt leave all the stuff i was into suddenly like that.... Even i was with friends that never practicing islam and doing haram things, some of them are so nice to me and good to me i cant leave them just like that even that they knew im practicing muslim now they still wana hang up with me, abt music it was difficult but its ok now i dont listen much now and it will go awat from me soon... abt the band i told them i cant play anymore, they r still calling me and try to convince me to come back...

Three of my friends non practicing and listening to that kinda of music, but they are really good guys... I didnt leave them when i hang up with them i take them to the Masjid and we pray jamaáh.... one guy drinks, im convince him to stop and i think he is doing well .... but Im afraid that they will effect me im so afraid there some other guys come with them and try to put some poison in my haed... but mu intention is so good i want my friend to practicing and have iman i want them to be in heaven with me inshallah..
so what i can do shall i leave them or .....? im confused

wa slam alikum

Asalamu alaykum bro!
Quite a situation you have going there. I am american born and raised, i just recently turned to islam, no pun intended. I will not tell my life story, but the things that i have seen in my experience with drugs alchahol and just basicaly
participating with others in ungodly ways, so to speak, will decompose a person's life. Extremes are what are important to whatch out for. The ones doing that kind of negetive behavior are going to want you to join them so they are not alone. Just like anyone. Being aware of what is going on around you and to the people with you. Inshullah, you will know what is best for you in the difficult situations. When it comes to helping the ones you care about, it is hard to deal with. Sometimes people dont want help. Sometimes no matter what you say to them they will not listen. For the people, and friends of mine that are like this, i can only hope one day it cliks in their mind to turn to God(Allah). Now you have found the path, keep to the path that Allah guides. You can not help anyone if you fall back. I refer to my experience in my past as a tiger pit that i had to crawl out of. Allahu Akbar!
For me, i am living for the better, , and i must ask Allah to forgive me for the things i have done wrong in the past. Some of my friends and people i knew back then, did not make it.
You sound wise, i believe you will know what to do. It is frustrating i know.
Somthing i try to remember now,
Quran Ch.11:4 To Allah is your return, and He is Possesor of power over all things.
It's a crazy world out there. Bro, i hope this insight helps you some.
Peace.

Free time!

W-Salam Raed,

You are a good person & the easiest way to get rid of bad environment & bad habits is to find something to do!

Masha'Allah you know what is good & what is bad & you also know what to quit.

Find a hobby (Sports, Gym, Swimming, Exercise anything); that way you wouldn't have free time to spend with anyone!

Thats exactly how Addicts or people with stress related illnesses are advised; to find something to do

I am neither saying you are an Addict nor saying that you are stressed out!

I answered another post about *!*!*!*!ograpy; look it up please if you need further details.

Just pointing an easy way out!

I was in da same situation I never used to pray or nufin wen I look back I am disgusted in myself but yet we are still breathing and alive we alwz hav da chance to prove 2 Allah wat type of muslims we are. Allah is all knowing and forgiving.

I used to never pray my namaz but in Ramadhan I used 2Alhumdollilah 5 times and after Ramadhan I decided to never give up I am still not used to waking up 2Fajar even though it has now been a couple of years.

We also have to remember dat da company we keep is da way we are. It used to easy to do the things dat oda people did like listen to music and thats wat we used to talk about.

But me myself I decided to change no one else can make you. You have to feel it in your heart that you want to chaneg their will be times wen we are tested you wil feel so happy in your heart wen u have passed dis test.

Now wen people talk to me and ask me about music I am like I dont listen to it dey r so shocked but der r oda fings to talk bat.

It is so hard coz my own sisters listen to it all da time and talk bat it loads, so do da people I work wid.

I have found oda fings to talk to people bat u just find anything der is alwz da weather. We British love talking bat da weather.

Sorry not much help and chating loads

Inshallah u noticing wat ur doin is a step forward im not lying 2u sayin its easy da more we struggle da more we apprecitate.

Inshallah I will remeber u in my duas

I can relate to your situation with your friends...




You try to ignore the fact that they aren't Muslim and you take the nice things about them, and they are good friends. But as you get older, their life starts to diverge into something entirely different from yours. They start doing things you can't do, or going places you want to avoid as a Muslim.

I have the same problem. And the bigger problem is that I live in America, and I am the only Muslim in my school.


I solved it by simply staying away from the haram, which means I spend a lot of time in my house alone lol.

Well I do what I can. You don't need to directly speak to people to do da'wa.

Remember, you are a form of da'wa simply by being a good Muslim. You will affect your friends in this way, and all you need to do is make sure they don't affect you with any foibles they may have...

Good advice
But better to spend more time in the mosque and socialise with the people there...than staying at home since u are a male...

I agree da'wa is not only done by talking... it is our character

Nice stuff... JazakAllah Khairan..
