Re: A question for Muslims who feel they need to conform to perceived expectations

@Reha

I don’t mean to corner you queen but if you think participating is Gunaah…you should cancel the makeup bookings because you’re aiding in that Gunaah. Its like helping to cook a pork roast but not eating it.

AND one more thing - ALL of us Muslims have a RESPONSIBILITY in Islam. Not just the Muslims that were raised in the West. Apki zimmidari bhi hai apna Imaan phaylana. The people that I know of who have a good impression of Muslims…someone gave it to them. Kisi aur ne apni zimmidari samaj ke vo beej boya hai. Vo hi zimmidari apki aur meri hai. Matlab - they will care if you become friendly with them. Invite them. Treat them like human being that Allah swt also created…your Creator also created your fellow human beings. They are not na-paak or najis. If they treated you this way, you would not be living in the UK.

That’s the thing…I guess I should be grateful I don’t feel that way.

Reha, is terhan to apnay shohor ke ilawa kisi aur mard ke samnay bohat zada banna sanwarna bhi gunah hay… so if I go by that logic, that probably me, you and all other beautician should shut down our business because we are Aiding in that Gunaah… NO??

You are mixing up two things Reha. Celebrating non-Muslim festive and earning from your business are two different things. Mene koi new rates introduce nahin karwaye on my brochure that, “C’mon, Special Christmas Rates, come and get your eyebrows done free with a Makeup” blah blah

Again, those who couldn’t get me, just mentioning once again… celebrating such events according to me here are NOT, being happy or not, or cursing blah blah. I went to town last evening and my motive was to shop for my baby… there I saw they were having fireworks and I pretty enjoyed it, I stood there, I captured pics, but that DOESN’t mean that I was celebrating it. My definition of celebration is, If I were going for shopping for the solely purpose of Christmas Shopping… For Partying, For Halloween, For Easter etc etc. Now that’s the difference. It’s not like, fireworks ho rahay thay and main BUUUTT banke wahan se nikl aayi ke Huh, to kia hua, unka religion hay… mein kyun enjoy karun. Its NOT like that. I am talking here about those, who celebrate it the genuine way.

Also… I am glad to read here a lot of Non-Muslim stories who actually take part in Muslims Festive. I think, this forum truly needs one thread on that which can clear a lot of things and would be a positive addition. Let me start a separate thread
