"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate"Many times I've asked myself this question... especially lately when I start seeing more and more signs of disintegration of values and iman in the muslim community.
Women who once used the hijab are suddenly 'liberated' and prancing around without any in public... Girls who used to dress demurely are now in mini skirts and tights... and then there's also the ever increasing level of riak that Facebook simply feeds on- the extravagant holidays, the classy bags, shoes, exclusive dining places and so on...
Before I address the third point, I just want to say a few things about the first two-
It disgusts me deeply when someone wears the hijab then take it off then put it on when it's convenient for them... then why put it on in the first place? And the best part is when their parents are aware of this and do not say anything. I feel disgusted because these women actually believe they are more beautiful when they take it off to show it to the world... but what they are actually defiantly saying is: 'Look God. I'm fine without this scarf around my head which is what You asked of me, and hey, this is my body so I can do what I want to it'
Astaghfiruallah...
Then there's those who model on sexy dresses and all kinds of haram clothings... and insist that these are hijab friendly simply by adding a cardigan or pants etc...
How can the parents of these girls allow their daughters to wear these abhorrent garbs? And these parents are aware because their daughters are right beside them in family photos... I pray that Allah forgives these parents for not keeping His amanah; may He be lenient towards them and have mercy on them.
Last of all... Facebook has given the chance for everyone who is not strong enough to be a victim of their own sins. The desire to showoff.
At times, even I am guilty of this. These days when I do put photos up, I do not publish them so that no one knows and no one can comment on them unless they purposely went to my profile to browse my photos. On hindsight, perhaps I should put these photos on private mode or just for sharing with my brother and Hubtobe.
I am tempted to just delete my whole account for that matter... but I am holding out because I have many good, muslims and muslimah friends who are always sending me invitations to events and forums through facebook... and it is also a way for me to keep in touch with them.
But I just cannot see things like these and not feel sad and disturbed by them. =(
Allah, please forgive me for having these despicable bouts of anger and resentment towards these people. I am not like Hubtobe who is always so patient and kind and forgiving.
I'm going to put to private as much albums as possible.
Hubtobe tells me to doa for these people... and I will... after I doa for myself not to be too consumed by syaitan's whispers... I'm sorry I got angry. =( Only Allah has the right to be angry at his creations.
Wallahualam Bissawab...
