my colleague next to me is listenin to music/chatting to girls

the one next to him is playing his guitar

the one behind us is talking with foul language



and im sitting here fasting


guess how my emaan is....




yeah this is a rant for once :-\ fasting at work SUCKS !!! and people wonder why im on LI so much ;D
 
:sl:
Just get an ipod and listen to it...
i didnt know people are allowed to do that at work :confused: :?
 
AssalamuAlaykum

SubhanAllah :-\

But get this...

Its my sisters 1st day at college...

She's making new friends although she doesnt really like the place...

She's having an alright time with some Muslimah's

And now she's on her break, they asked if she wanted to come out with them for a smoke :-\

I feel for you all...:-\

WassalamuAlaykum
 
:sl:

:(

It's the same at school, even worse, as most of our Muslim Students, can not refrain from listening to music or swearing in every sentence and generally flirting whilst their fasting..:(

:w:

Allahu A'lam. But everybody needs company...all she has are some non-muslims and muslimah's telling her to smoke *bangs head against wall*
 
One's playing a guitar, and another one's chatting to girls... at work? I didn't even know that's possible lol.

^ nah not nosy at all sis

well i still have to be "present" at work, the boss needs to know im in, then he goes back to his office and chills out himself
 
Ohh dear, i hope i will not be too curious if i ask you where do you work - not the company name but what its doing this company. :-[

they are far from educational :p
 
AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Ahh I'm sorry you are going through this,

Living in this dunya means a tough time for Muslims, mind you that isn't a bad thing, if it gets tough, try switching jobs, even move countries if you have to, there's so much you can do to avoid it, you just gotta start doing it, this is also an ideal time to give da'wah, go for it,

Try telling them to stop first, if this fails, tell the boss to set guidelines for you and your colleagues to follow,

All the best.

I have had around 17 employers over past 32 years and none of them would stand for/tolerate such behaviour
