Well, it's about praying in the Masjid. My mother forbids me to go there and pray. I don't know how to deal with this.

There are also some other issues, like not shaking hands with non-mahram or lowering my gaze. When I do thing like this, I'm a extremist according to my family. It's like I'm being oppressed.

I felt like that a few years ago…my family was driving my crazy-I even wrote an article about it.

[url=http://www.therevival.co.uk/?p=237]LINK[/url]

Now that I’m older and hopefully a tad more wiser….and because of the fact that I hate confrontations, I’ve decided NOT to do something if it means that kick offs will happen at home….I find it difficult to be at peace with myself if I know that my loved ones are not at peace with me….. My dad doesn’t like me to attend Islamic camps, and as much as I want to - I don’t

However, this doesn’t mean that I do everything my parents want me to do….I just don’t make a song and dance about it.

My dad doesn’t like the fact that I spend too much time working in my Mosque…I still work there, however he often thinks that I’m at Uni or with mates…or I make sure that I leave the house before he leaves and return home before he comes home…..I don’t lie to them, I just don’t tell them.

Dad is very much anti women attending graveyards-but that doesn’t mean that I stop reading Ya Sin at my Nan’s grave…I just don’t tell him when I go…

In the same way….my advice to you would be to keep the relationship with your family sweet, however still actively try to get closer to your Creator…and that can easily be done by your parents not necessarily having to know that you’re at the Mosque.

Wasalaam

i dnt get u bro hw can u be an extremist when ur doing basic things that every muslim should do e.g go to the mosque especially for jumma prayer

I hate to admit this, but I think my family's kinda modern.

There could also be another reason which is Salafism. I used to be a bit salafi influenced and my mother found out. Maybe that's why she doesn't trust my Internet sources.

why is she being so steriotypical?

many salafi`s are moderate muslims too

i am a salafi and i am offended by ur comment

we dont say bad things about him! :shock:

try telling that to a few of my friends. :!:

I would gladly - it took me 3 years to get my life back on track, if you've got friends heading down that path pull every drastic measure you can think of. Tell their parents, Imams and Teachers, if you see them hanging out with the wrong people pull them away.

It's a hell of a lot easier to just kill it now than it is to go through everything and deal with the recovery and shame afterwards.

lol i talking about my non muslim friends. man i feel so sorry for them i nag nag nag at them i nver stop .. i'v be naging so much at them saying that wats the point its na all end up in the toliet or as u rightly said a hospital bed . but i suppose thats what they feel is part of their nature to get drunk.

if i do come across any muslims that are in this situvation yeh most defienlty teh suggestions wat u made above i will take heed to
i wil tell thier parents or their teachers .
