I’ve been talking to my friends recently a lot about this topic…surprisingly its very common.
You may know/heard of girls who used to walk out the house wearing loose/decent clothes and used to change in school and/or at the top of the road…..or them teenagers who used to tell their parents that they’re going to the library or school and would end up somewhere that their parents would never approve off.
Similarly, these days some youth are becoming “religious rebels” instead of being “wild-teenage rebels”.
One can’t help but smile at some of the lengths some people go through just to practise/work for their religion.
I heard of someone who puts on his Jilbaab/hat in his car on his way to the Mosque cos his parents don’t like this attire.
I heard of someone who puts her Niqaab on at the top of the road….I know of someone from up north who tells her parents that she’s going to the library whilst in actual fact she attends religious circles.
I know of girls who bunk school/Uni lectures to attend religious programmes.
I even know of people who secretly spend all their money on charity only cos their family wouldn’t approve….other’s are known to “pretend” that they are doing anti Islamic activities to keep the family sweet whilst in actual fact they’re really doing Islamic stuff.
Convert stories are the most interesting…some still pretend to be part of the religion that they have renounced whilst others do stuff secretly.
Some parents are totally oblivious to the 101 Islamic activities that their son/daughter may be involved in.
Some people are defiant in nature so they have more of a “like it or lump it” attitude…they don’t care how many people become upset over their activities. Others are more diplomatic and dislike upsetting loved ones…so they are more likely to do stuff undercover.
It’s funny as well as sad the extent some people go in order to hide things that make Allah (swt) happy.
Does anyone have any personal experiences that they wish to share…Does anyone know of anyone in the above predicament?

I have to say this is a very good topic. normally its always about negatives, for once this is a positive topic. Well done.
Ya ALLAH Madad.

v funny topic-I know plenty
some are known to sneak out to the mosque (instead of the nightclub) and pull a all nighter when their parents leave the country
they spend the night moving their head to the beat of dhikr instead of moving their body to the latest bhangra beat

One of the students of Imam Abu Hanifah, called Imam Yusuf was a bit of a “religious rebel”.
His poor mother used to take her son to an oil producing factory every morning so that he could work and bring home some money. However, Imam Yusuf had extreme love for knowledge and used to run off to Imam Abu Hanifa’s circles after his mum dropped him off.
Imam Yusuf’s mother complained to Imam Hanifa and told him to advise her son to work. Imam Abu Hanifa told her that her son had a bright future.
Imam Abu Hanifah told Imam Yusuf’s mother that his son would be eating Halwa (Yes, halwa!) a rich man’s food in those days, in the future.
He carried on pursuing Islam knowledge and later on Imam Yusuf went on to become a well renowned judge.
Wasalaam
Lol. YES!! HALWA ZINDABAD. MashaALLAH what another beautiful post, if Halwa is good enough for Hadrat Imam ABU Yusuf, why do some people get uptight when I call em halwa lovers? You should respond that Imam Abu Yusuf one of the giants of ahnaaf had halwa.
MashALLAH
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
good point
people should think twice about using the term halwa as a insult-
maybe now people will think twice before using the term "grave worshippers" and "halwa lovin" in the same sentence :roll:

said “Whoever pleases Allah (swt) by making people angry, Allah (swt) will be pleased with him and He will make people be pleased with him. And whoever angers Allah (swt) by pleasing the people, Allah (swt) will be angry with him and He will make the people angry with him also”.
…. however this does not mean that one can hurt/harm/inconvenience others in the pursuit of Allah (swt) pleasure.

Basically, many people nowadays try to make people happy at the expense of earning the anger of Allah (swt) in the process.
(i.e. they may drink/go clubbing etc just to fit in with their mates).
Allah (swt) will always be angry with such an individual and will make such a person unpopular on Earth,
And at the same time Allah (swt) has said that if you make Him happy (and people unhappy) He will be happy with him/her and will make such a person popular on Earth.
(e.g Sister Yash wore the Niqab to make Allah (swt) happy, even though it made family members unhappy).
Does that make things a bit clearer? :?
i gets ya
makin bad people happy
and good people unhappy
no...? yes...?

Now, I've lost you... :?
Basically just focus on making Allah (swt) happy...don't focus on anyone else.
And if you do that you will be loved by Him (swt), the angels, people in heaven and the good people on Earth...thats Allah (swt) promise.
ahhhhhh
maybe it'll make more sense when im hungry
no, im sure i understand it
thanx once again

someone i know from up north used to cause world war three in her house whenever she wanted to go to a islamic programme/circle etc
she used to rant and rave and leave the house banging the door in the process
we told her that she should do what she wants but she shouldnt cause such a scene-
if she's having a islamic meeting in the library she should just tell her parents that she's gong to the library
if she's going to her mate house for a programme/circle she should just tell her parents that she's going her mate's house
that aint technically lying-its just not giving the whole picture
a scholar once confirmed that there aint anything wrong with
its better to be a undercover religious rebel then a "in ur face one"
aye maybe so
but disclosing the truth knowingly....is technically lying

BROTHER. disclosing means to open , to reveal, so disclosing the truth knowingly means knowingly revealing/uncovering the truth. I dont think thats what u meant is it?

i would like to know is it right to do something like that. Meaning is it right to avoid telling parents the truth of your whereabouts when wanting to attend a leture or Qur'aan class. I am asking this in order to gain advice.
salaam sister! i see its ur first post, so WELCOME
personally i dont think its right to lie to parents, even if ur going to do something good, because disobeying ur parents probably outweighs the good u gain by going to the talk or whatever.
However, MuslimSis said in her post that if you happen to be having a study circle at a friends house, then u can say 'i am going to so-and-sos house' whilst avoiding confrontation (if u know ur parents do not like you going to islamic circles). this way u get the best of both i guess - keep ur parents happy, AND gain some knowledge inshaAllah.

telling parents HALF the turth is not lying
and tis is better then being disresptful and rude in their faces-
Yash was right to put her niqab on undercover-but she shoulda been more careful so that she wasnt clocked
my sister asked a scholar this Q once
he told her that this approach is "wisdom"
Assalaamu Alaikum
May Allah reward you both with with goodness Sisters for giving me this advice. And Ramadhan Mubarak to you too sister Aaasiya. Thankyou for giving such a nice reception.

I was complaining to a friend of mine yesterday about how I have too much on and feel knackered all the time (even though I’m one of those lazy girls who goes to sleep after Fajr, even if it means barely getting two hours sleep!)
And she started to tell me about her daily routine…how she goes to sleep at 10.30pm wakes up at 12.30 am and starts to read Salatul Tasbi….reads her Tahjud, eats Sehri, reads Fajr, reads Qur’an and leaves for work…she stays awake all night.
All undercover cos her parents don’t approve of her doing “OTT” worship.
I was in awe of the girl. Our pious predecessors were known to spend their night in worship….night vigil is something that I can only speak about and can’t implement.
In regards to night worship a part of a hadith Qadsi states “Doesn’t every lover seek to be secluded with his Beloved?”
Wasalaam
mashallah, i pray allah makes me like the lady ameen,
i alwayz make intention of waking up for tahajjud everyday, but for some reason its not happening, im just to lazy
You can read Tahajud as soon as you wake up for Sehri can't you? Before you eat...
yea , i actually do that since its ramadhan its easier, but talking of days not in ramadhan it proves really difficult,
some one asked me if they dont go to sleep until 3.00 if they pray nafil salaah is it counted as tahajud, or is tahajud as in u go to sleep then wake up for salaah in the night?
they actually got me confused
If that person stays awake till 3 and reads their nafal they are counted as tuhajid, i dont think it literally means to get up as long as you read in the time length given for tahajid then it is acceptable
