Re: ‘‘Traditions’’

I’m assuming from the above comments that this thread is about the rukhsati tradition? If that has nothing to do with Islam then neither does dating, dancing, extravagant mehendis, and other pointless customs which seem to be very popular with the present generation.

And we know for a fact that the next generation is going to deviate further from Islam since we’re told that Islam will become worn out and it has been slowly but surely.

I don’t think anyone would claim that dating, dancing yadda yadda has anything to do with Islam. However, the rukhsati tradition has been given a religious like significance with people making a halal think sound haram.

To be honest, while half of the present generation is indeed going in that direction, the other half is rediscovering Islam. So many people are learning Arabic and going to Islamic classes to understand the religion better. New parents are teaching their children Arabic as a language, not just to recite Quran. In the last 10 years, I have seen a real shift towards Islam. I don’t remember people gathering for prayer when I was younger (unless you were in a very religious home), but now whenever there is a gathering, someone will lead jamaat - this hasn’t been instigated by the elders but by the younger generation.
