Question School Vs. Islam? - 09-29-2005

For class, we have to go to a bar to observe the interactions that go on btwn ppl. STupid assignment, I know. But yeah so theres NOOO way that I want to go, (bad environment), plus its going to be during Ramadhan... So I was wondering, do u think it would be a wrong idea to just make the whole report up and pretend that I "observed" ppl? I dunno what else to do, since I have to observe ppl in a place where they interact with one another (i.e are trying to become friends, or more than friends) I'm really stuck. DO u guys have any other ideas where I can observe ppl in a more islamically safe environment?

Greetings,

Could you tell your teacher that as a Muslim you're instructed to stay away from such places?. It's wrong for any teacher to force you to do something that contravenes your religious faith.

(I'm a teacher myself.)

Peace

I would just write a 6 page essay on why bars are wrong, fornication is wrong, alchohol is wrong, punctuated by the word 'astaghfirallah' every now and again and drawings of what you think hell looks like with your teacher placed in the middle of it.

I'm sure then you would never have to worry about school again ;)!

.....Sorry sister. Let your teacher know about your concerns on the project. They're usually helpful and as czgibson said, teachers can't make you do anything that is against your religion.

In the event of your teacher being a twit (and not letting you get out of the assignment) do the following:
1) don't go to the bar
2) copy up your mates work.
