Do You Ever Get Tempted?
Salaam
Do any of you sometimes feel really tempted to do un-Islamic things?
Don’t worry I have no intentions to start doing bad stuff…and I KNOW that there is Hiqmah (wisdom) behind all the stuff that is forbidden in Islam.
But we all must have our weaknesses and stuff that we struggle with…I wanted to know where our weaknesses lie…
Personally, because as a teenager I associated with extremely vain, fashion conscious girls… my evenings were spent in front of the mirror….and at least 60% of my private thoughts were dedicated to fashion, my hair and how I look…I feel tempted when I see girls all dressed up out and about…..I feel it sometimes when my head is covered in weddings or when I’m with friends on Eid….. The hardest thing I ever did in my life was wear a Hijaab for the first time aged 18….
In fact whenever I’ve asked converts their view on this matter they also say that covering the head for the first time is the hardest thing to do…that and learning how to pray
So that’s my weakness…this is the only internal battle I face within myself from time to time…everything else is OK….
What’s your personal struggle? What wrong Islamic stuff do you ever feel tempted to do?
Also what do you guys think is the hardest part of Islam? What do you guys struggle with and haven’t as of yet perfected?
Do you find the Salaah difficult? Is fasting difficult? Do you find it difficult to avoid bad company?
Do you find it difficult to stop swearing? Do you find it difficult to stop listening to the wrong kind of Music?
Is it difficult for you to stop backbiting? Do you find it hard to bite your lip when parents are doing your head in?
None of us are Awliya’s…none of us have defeated our Nafs and perfected our characters yet….so I’m sure we all have many weaknesses and shortcomings.
Share your thoughts on the matter.

There is nothing wrong with women swearing.
Infact, it makes them safer.
If they didnt use harsh language, many men would take advantage of them.
Bad language can be a shield for women.
But dont over do it. It can also make you apprear as a bad, loose woman.

Why do they need protection with words when they can just as easily carry a can of mase.
And that carries a message that isn't soon forgotten

Lets just say that most men out there would undertand when a woman says: Don't even think about it asshole.
The few that wont, they will definately get the message when kicked in the nuts. Preferably with a pointed high heel shoes.
