Re: Saddle up your high horses, Here comes Trouble
completely agree, my problem with society is that we have no accept it - you can see how openly we talk about bf/gf and their physical relationships
that scares mean the most is if we keep on going down this path and our sons and daughters will be out age, we would have reached the point of no return
if we are at this stage, our sons and daughters will be 10 steps ahead - and we wont be able to do anything then, and sadder part is infront of Allah swt we and our parents will be held responsible for all the mess
Abdullah ibn Masud, said: “the Prophet (saw) said ‘Islam began as something strange, and it will revert to being strange as it was in the beginning, so good tidings to the strangers.’ Some asked, ‘Who are the strangers?’ He said, ‘The ones who break away from their people (literally, ‘tribes’) for the sake of Islam.’” (Sahih Muslim, Ibn Majah)
Yes, Haraam will become the norm. Does that mean we stop thinking that haraam is haraam and make is ‘halal’ and ‘normal’? Islam will be become strange and people who denounce the haraam ‘norms’ will become the wierd and strange ones who don’t fit into the society.
Does this mean we stick to our grounds and base our ethics and morals on what the prophet SAW wanted us to? Or we follow the ways of society and it’s norms?
Even if we do a haraam act, we should still ‘think’ it is haraam. Who are we to change the haraam into the halal. For example, if you drink alchohol you should know that you are committing a haraam act and not argue it to be ‘normal’ or halal to justify your actions.
Same with having a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Even if everyone and his dog is doing this in pakistan, india, china or whatever country it may be the ‘norm’ but norm does not equal to halal. If someone speaks against it, it doesn’t mean they are a hypocrite, goody two shoes or on their high horse just because they don’t want to be desensitized to these actions. Again ponder over this
