No I like your discussions IceSoul, and we are here not to judge anyone, for I’d be the last person to do that. I, myself, am the first to jump in at mehendis and such, and God knows I love music. We just want to discuss and hear opinions. No need to convince or be convinced.

So coming back to the OP. So yes, forgiveness and mercy is up to Allah, and Allah alone, but then comes the responsibility of a human. So as a responsible muslim, why don’t we consider this event as a negative? You hardly see the segregated mehendis these days so that goes on to show that people aren’t really concerned about this stuff anymore, myself included. Is it peer pressure, trends, what?

true..my hubby was so firm on the issue that he didnt have a mehndi celebrated at his side. But my mehndi was a complete ladies only event. The guys were there but the entire hall was segregated and they had their own fun. Worked pretty well for all of us. And surprisingly nobody said anything. My family has always had mixed gatherings. They love to party. Infact all the elder aunties couldnt help praising and praying for hubby and I for being firm on this stance of the mixed gatherings of mehndi being unislamic.
