Sara why are you surprised? I never said mingling with the opposite gender is right and okay. I used to do it too and I knew it's wrong. What I am talking about here is different because it's in Ramadan and at the time when one is supposed to be remembering Allah and praying for forgiveness.

I'm surprised because I didn't think you were the type to really care about what other people are doing :(

Ok fine, they can wear tight jeans with short tops in Ramadan,

No they can't. :) And this doesn't just go for Ramadan, but all year. If you're not gonna do hijaab, then I (personally) think the least you could do is atleast dress modestly.

Re: ...Houston Visit...

^ I agreed for the argument sake. It's still wrong but since the lady thought it was okay to wear whatever they want and I should be "judging" them based on the way they dress, I said lets forget and say okay they can dress that way. But in reality, they shouldn't and I agree with you.

Sara I care but I don't speak out against bad/evil as much as I should because I mind my own business. But I was there with my wife and I was very uncomfortable in that environment. As an fyi, she was there in Shalwar kameez with dupatta on her head.

shikra bhai let me clear out something for you , but you forgot something they might be agakhani , because agakhani do iftari parties in houston most of them doesn’t kept roza. as long as tv goes so even in pakistan poeple watch tv in ramzan .

those people calling houston sucks , sorry guys compare to dallas we are much better, dallas is boringgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
don’t complain about the traffic because NY is worst than us .

hehe hi buddy aap kaisay ho kya haal hain? i think all of texas is boring compared to mera pyaara NyC lekin yes, u guys r better than dallas houston is cool :k: i was just complaining coz shikra never comes to dallas he’s always with u guys

there r a lot of agahkhanis in dallas … matlab every 3rd desi. they seem to just bend the rules to there liking. no agahkhani that i kno (and i kno MANY) fasts or reads namaaz…and it really makes me made when they say “church” instead of “jamaat khana”

no offense to any1, that is just wat i have observed

Re: ...Houston Visit...

I may be moving to Dallas for good. Not sure yet. I have a choice between Houston and Dallas. Hopefully boss will let me move to Houston as he's in Dallas himself.

Re: ...Houston Visit...

But tell me what's better, Dallas or Houston? Forget the fact that you live in Dallas. If you were to advice someone, what would you say? Houston has many desis (probably more than Dallas) and isn't as spreaded out and by itself as is Dallas. I have never been to Dallas but based on what my boss says, it sounds pretty boring. But I've seen the pictures and it seems like a nice place. I like the weather of Dallas.

hmm ok seriously speaking I think Dallas is better if u like calm, quite life. It's not dead, there r many things to do. There r many wonderful Masjid's etc. Basically if u kno the right people, there r lots of things to do for fun. The weather is not bad, traffic is passive, life is calm. There r not as many desis as Houston and it is not as congested. Yes Dallas is very spead out but that can be a good thing, as long as u have a car, u r fine. Also the properties are real cheap (compared to big cities), u can get amazing prices on houses. I've been to Houston many times and personally i've always thought Dallas was better. i kno u dun have any kids yet but the public schools r some of the best in the country.

Hahahaha - alright, excuse me then :) sorry. didn't kno that.

Re: ...Houston Visit...

yeah i suggest u come to Dallas and check it out, there r many really nice areas. I think u’ll like it. A lot of ppl have problem deciding b/w the 2 cities, i think in the end it all depends on wat kind of lifestyle u prefer. Good luck :k:

Re: ...Houston Visit...

Houston has more chichorey desi boys/uncles who stare at girls/women. Not sure about Dallas but I am sure desis are same everywhere, especially when in majority, unlike New Orleans. I guess I'll just have to deal with that. I hate doing business with desis.

ALLHAMDOLIAH i mfine how about u , i think texas is much much better than NYC sorry

u r right agakhani are strict with rules which are given to them by jamat khana and as long as fasting and namaz goes 10 % of the population.

Shikra bahi let me be honest with u i have been in michigan , chichago , your city , dallas , atlanta , california . i personally think houston is nice place compare to others if u want to be with desi people and its also not too conjusted plus big hub for muslims. if u r not looking all this things then california all way buddy . no dallas wallas

It is sad…what is becoming of us!

quite true…muslim ummah ka kya hoogaa…

God looks at the heart of the man. Its more important to purify the heart and be a good person than to worry whether a girl is wearing a dupatta or not

hmm…well surah noor read keejiyay…

*“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.” *

“*O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” *

whats inside is whats inside, so if inside is clean, the problem is why is it not showing on the outside
And besides, it doesn’t matter how good you are from the inside, your actions should represent what’s inside of you.

exactly!!!

No they can’t. And this doesn’t just go for Ramadan, but all year. If you’re not gonna do hijaab, then I (personally) think the least you could do is atleast dress modestly
