Well it's time to start paying for the school prom and I don't really want to go but all my friends ( a lot of muslims) are telling me to come as its my last year and it will be fun etc.. In my heart i feel its wrong to go islamically and i don't want to do anything against my religion but i was just wondering is it wrong? Thanks

Don't go. It's useless - you see the exact same people that you would normally at school, only this time there's alcohol and dancing on the premises. Take up martial arts instead.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
They've been trying to get me to go for months, but I refuse! One or two Muslims are going and the rest not. I have friends who are non-Muslim and don't drink (atheists, not super-believing Christians as you might think at first!) and they ain't goin', so I wouldn't have anyone to hang around with. I've tried it with those that drink, it didn't work out, haha. I also have to work and earn a livin', no time.
It's up to you, though I'd say no.

Same, my friends were texting me like "all my friends were their but you..", which made me feel quite bad. Till I saw the photos of the event, which was pretty much a clubbing scene!

That's why I'm glad I went to a girls school.
We had a 'Gala' instead which is everything you have in a prom without the lads, but still had music and dancing, which I couldn't care less about at the time tbh.

I wasn't muslim in high school, and only went to prom my senior year. Big waste of time and money. I agree with the poster who said to organize and anti prom. Do something more halal, hang with friends, go bowling, go out to dinner, something, anything that doesn't compromise your deen.
lol u could do better stuff with ur money instead of wasting it on a school prom.
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
What you do in your leisure time is up to you but this seems like a waste of time in my opinion. Why? Because of the atmosphere etc. Islam doesnt frown down upon socialising, No. Just try to do it in a halal way insha'Allah like getting all yer fish together for a partayy
Thanks everyone...Even if i was allowed in islam i still really wouldn't want to go but i feel so pressured to go...the funny (ok not so funny as sad) thing is this pressure is mainly from my muslim friends and not the non-muslims. I don't think they would miss it but I will suggest it to them that we go out instead if they do good we can have fun if not im sure I can spend my time more productively...Thank you for all your comments...I have not idea how i'm going to tell me teacher im not coming though he might get angry.

, Nd i got to be honest, like aamirsaab said its boring! We done it in the marriot hotel. The only thing i liked was the food
prom = music + dancing
It's like those un-popular kids at school aren't invited or something, they do an anti-thing. Stoopid movies.
