I am confused.....

Exactly what Shiraz is thinking right now.. he wants to help him... sit down with him and explain him... but the problem is he doesnt listen plus they dont get to see each other v often.....

Whatever time his friend can devote is good.

Saving one person is saving humanity.

It may take time and must not expect result in couple of days.

Big responsibility but someone has to do it.

It reali is a big job.... oh well i will try my best to help him!

Good luck and keep us posted if you can. He may have whats called bipolar disorder. Going on fun stuff too much and then caput...depressed/locked up in house in a few weeks or days.

Hes not like that trust me... Kheir i will try my best ... will keep u guyz updated!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Honestly, rather than making this an issue of piety-which turns most of us off-just be a solid friend. That means don't enable or clean up his messes, don't preach or judge but most importantly, support him in endeavors that are ethically based-self improvement, care for fam, introspection. Most people go through their paces or pass through stages and come out alright.

We as a community need to be waaaay less judgemental-it's disrespectful to all involved.

that’s actually really not true.

I think you've pretty much nailed it.

If someone isnt listening, why would you bother lecturing them?:sadaf:

Re: I am confused.....

If Shiraz repents sincerely and resolves to never go back to drinking, he will be forgiven inshAllah taala.

As for trying to get someone out of a mess, you first have to make your imaan 10 times strong so you dont fall into peer pressure. It would be better that Shiraz leaves waseem's company until he finds himself strong enough to try to show someone the correct path. There is nothing WORST than a bad company.
