Doing
Wrong in the name of Islam and Socialization
I have
been recently informed that some people are chatting with the
opposite sex who are non-Marham. This is strictly haram and there
is no justification to this act. Yes my Deasi Friends: I did warn
my family members and will continue to do so until this practice
is stop. Seems as though shaytaan has found a new medium to get
through to us Muslims. He does this so cleverly, by making us
find good in our bad, and bad in our good. What better way, than
to use an ISLAMIC internet chartroom or just have chat on aim,
msn, etc., to get Muslim boys and girls talking about their
wildest fantasies or just about Islam! All the time justifying to
them by saying that it is an "Islamic" chartroom, so it is halal?
The main
reason to reject this activity is due to addiction. We love to
deny but it is most of all VERY ADDICTIVE. Especially for people
who don't mix with the opposite sex regularly. Many muslin girls
(who have strict fathers) sit in this chartroom almost every
night, making up for not being able to freely talk to boys
openly.
I feel a
bit guilty about bringing this out, because although I always
knew that this was not right I was also VERY addicted to it
myself. I am just as much to blame. May Allah forgive my
ignorance ... inshallah.
I feel
though, that I am doing the right thing by publicizing this. It
is important that Muslims are made AWARE of this as soon as
possible.
Note
that I'm not taking hits at anyone and only giving advise to
those who are involved with this sin. If your involved in this
act, stop it now. If your not involve, thank Allah and this
advise will help you in the future.
Please
dont use tricky Screen Names to challenge me. In reality youll be
messing with Nawal and not me. By the way, if you have any
comments, please reply only to me.
