As-salam Aalaikum
I hope this won’t be too controversial. Insha’Allah.
Don’t you think us Pakistanis have gone too far away from Islam?
Why are we so immersed with the lifestyle of the West and India?
Just look at the TV channels.What have we come to? We don’t need to borrow/copy ideas from American, UK, Indians, etc., basically, the West. As more and more media exchanges are made through TV, Internet, and such things, we, the youth, of Pakistan are shunning our beautiful old traditions and indulging in these immoral acts without even realizing the harm.
If you ask any Muslim in Pakistan, young or old, male or female, the question: Islam first or Pakistan first? I’m sure most, if not all, will say that our religion Islam is more important to us than our country. We’re Muslims first, then we’re Pakistanis.
-
Why has it become “cool” to act like those people in the West. Can’t we be a good Muslim and still be cool?
-
Why are there so many useless shows on TV?
-
Why are there so many disgusting dance shows, dramas, music videos, “relationship” shows where Muslim men and women are doing such shameful act that if the were to do this few years ago, there would be a huge backlash?
-
Why are our women shamelessly displaying themselves in front of the whole world, wearing reaveling clothes as if they were some Bollywood actress?
-
Why are the men not growing a beard and wearing Sunnah clothings, rather they want to dress in tight jeans and T-shirt and be clean shaven like Bollywood actors?
-
Why can’t men lower thier gaze and women cover up like a Muslim women should?
-
Why is there so much free-mixing in public places, like colleges, parks, on the streets? What happened to sharm and haya as a Muslim, as a Pakistani?
-
Why are the people, esp. the youth, indulging in haram relationships like boyfriends and girlfriends?
-
Why are there so many unIslamic rituals in our weddings?
-
Why don’t our women wear the hijab? Hijab is FARD!
-
Why are we not praying 5 times? Salaah is FARD!
Especially, the last two points. There’s absolutely no excuse for not doing those two things. We’re committing a major sin by neglecting our fard responsibilities as Muslims.
We believe in Allah, sure. But, why don’t we obey Him? Are we not afraid of the anger and punishment of Allah? Are we not afraid of Jahannam?
Let’s try a little experiment:
*Light a candle and put the tip of your index finger on the fire for 3 seconds. I’m sure all of you will pull out your finger. It’s too hot for you, isn’t it?
Now, imagine Allah throwing you in the Fire of Jahannam. This time it’s not the tip of your finger, its YOU! This time you don’t have the choice to pull out! This time you get a new skin after you’ve been roasted by the Fire!*
No one has been promised tomorrow. If we don’t want to go to Jahannam, just remember as long as you are alive, you have a chance at gaining the forgiveness of The Most Merciful!
Don’t you think it’s time we come back to the Straight Path? After all, we’re in this world only to please Allah.
May Allah guide us all and forgive us for our sins.
for shairing. We have given choice either we choose the right or wrong path. Shaitan (Iblees) hav permission to astray us till the day of Judgement and shaitaan and its followers will not stop astraying us. Its all depend on our faith (Imaan) and our faith comes if we understand our religion (Deen) and to understand our religion, we must struggle to learn it as well as to teach it.
said, “I know the person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last to enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say to him, ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then he will return and say, ‘O Lord, I have found it full.’ Allah will say, ‘Go and enter Paradise, and you will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the like of the world).’ On that, the man will say, 'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are the King?” I saw Allah’s Apostle
