Re: do traditional professional girls still exist?
I think it’s a multi-faceted issue. It can be due to one or more of the factors you’ve listed above and technology has not only made it easier to access various ills, I think it has also increased peer pressure to conform to them. But maybe at the very root of all these factors is deen/sunnat se doori. Materialism and a hedonistic mindset is reflective of deen se doori…no? Same with poor parenting…where as opposed to gently explaining and modeling the importance of hayaa for kids…it’s done in a more aggressive way. This can result in kids failing to internalize lessons and when they’re only following something because of coercion, they will lack the confidence to stand up to peer pressure. Maybe parenting is not in accordance with Islam…as in it lacks consistency/middle-ground/gentleness. Muslims across the globe belong to different cultures and the culture in one predominantly Muslim country may be more liberal than in another country…but the common ground is the religion so all muslims know that they’re supposed to speak and dress and act modestly. It depends on which is given more priority…society or deen. So, don’t u think k that straying away from sunnat is perhaps the root cause behind the factors?
