Islam is too hard for me

[Bub]

Salam!
Thanks! And I really respect the women in Islam, they wear hijab lmost anywhere and they seem like don't care about what the other non-muslim people say about them. When a muslim boy/man is on the street, noone knows he is a muslim or no. But when a muslim woman wears hijab, then everyone know she is a muslim.
I'm also trying to keep it up, even I'm being called as terrorist, while I'm not... There are a lot of people who know I am a muslim, when they see me they yalls at me "hey you terrorist", I'm only tell 'em "I'm not a terrorsit". They keep saying it, and then I say "take care to not to be bombed"... Then they take it seriosly and be quiet for some day, but later they start it again... But I'm trying to don't take care about them, becuase Allah will make them obey to him and teach them in the fire.

Ps, your english isn't bad I understood what you wanted to say. I think my is worse... But I've no idea who have good and who have bad english... At least British and Americans have excellent!

Of course i do not care what people think expect Allah s.w.t. yeah your right, i never thought of that before. oh yeah, im not surprised bec media take Muslim as a scapegoat, Allah knows the best. Remember Allah says in Qur'Ran, let them enjoy themselves for a while but their home will be hell. 'For those who do good in this world is good; and the home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the home of the righteous' 30. Surag 16- Nabi so we better be patient whatever people say bad things to us etc. For an example, i heard a beauty story... Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, he walked in the early morning to somwhere i forget, a lady who used to hate him very much, she threw him with full of rubbish by her window, Prophet Muhammed stroked with wet and nasty smells. But he was calm, she have done to him every time he walked past her, once a lady was so ILL, Prophet Muhammed remember her then he came to her house, asked where is ur game in joke? She was so shocked he came to her after what she have done to him then she became Muslim. Look at us, people use thier tongue to cuss us not physical or beat us. O aww, thanks little brother! Hop ur well, bro! p.s. hope u get what i mean, insha'Allah!

Ps, sorry if I confused you, but my english composition is too small and not skilled. If you didn't understand anything then just feel free to ask again and then I'll try my best to explain you better.

I understand your English just fine, Mohamed!

That's quite a tough upbringing you've had there ... imsad

Yes, it is... But it's all truth and those terrible things are happened to me... But I believe I'm not the only one.

Just do what feels right. You don't have to fast to be a muslim, esp. in your circumstances.

Thanks for telling me this.

I also asked it in a mesjid, what age I must to fasting. They said when I finish high school, so I will do a full fasting then -insallah.

I have no money, not even pocket money. I share my room with my bro (he isn't muslim).

assalamu alaykum lil bro

Is there a part-time job you can do? Perhaps a weekend job in a local shop or even delivering newspapers?

Also, do you know other muslims in your area? And is there a mosque near you?

Hehe, I was wondering when you come and post! I'm happy you did it... But don't know why, I think I like your posts.

Well, I be 16 soon, and then I could get some job... But my parents and grandparents always tell me "school is the first". So I'm trying to concentrate to school... I even failed of math and physics last year. I was learning almost on the whole summer, but I passed the exam -alhamdulillah. And got to the next class I'm on right now. So... I don't know, but money always comes good, but only on the good way, by job...:hmm: I'll try to find out something.

No, I don't know any. I think in the town where I live I'm the only one muslim here... Actually never heard yet someone else is a muslim.
Well, I don't know what's long and what's close, there is a mosque where I always go, it's about 30-35 km away, that's the closest to me. I don't know any else closer, only further. But a mosque in the neighboor won't be so bad.:statisfie

Assalamu alaykum lil bro,

Thank you lil one. My apologies for not replying earlier due to many reasons. And yes, I feel concerned about whether you are eating well, especially in Ramadhan.

Are you eating properly? Are you expected to eat with your family? Are you allowed to take meals in your room? I don't know how difficult meal times are for you. Please let me know. If things are very difficult for you, I have a little plan that can help make things a little easier for you inshaAllah. I'll be waiting for your reply.

Hope to hear from you soon

Yes, I do eat properly (if you mean to the rules of foods). I keep the Islam rules about the foods and eating.
I sometimes eat with my family, when my mom didn't cook any pig or forbidden foods.
Yes, I'm allowed. I usually do it, when I can't/don't eat with anyone from family, or also when they eat pig or forbidden foods.

Umm... About meals time... I don't really keep them, I just eat when I'm feeling hungry. But if there is only pig or forbidden foods, then there are only bread and butter for me, if I'm lucky there is some chicken or turkey ham for me.

But I'm interested about your plan, it may make it easier for me.

@Scents of Jannah:
Ah and 1 question.
Do you have MSN or any private e-mail? I think we could "meet"/talk there easier about these things.

 

[Snowflake]

Yes, IB has a PM feature we can use. I'm glad you're eating well lil bro, but I still think you could do with other options. So, I will PM you later and hopefully give you hints and tips to make things a little easier for you inshaAllah.

Salam Aleykum,
Maybe this is my last post here... I'm on about here to tell you I leave Islam for a while now.

Islam is too hard for me. About many problems, I tell you some:
1st. Food, my family isn't muslim. I live with my mom, stepfather and brother. They don't give me that much respect. My mom usually cooks pork nowadays, and there is like nothing else for me, so I've to eat pork too...

2nd. Girls, I'm usually almost everyday out of home. And there are girls, when a I see good-looking gilrs that's really hard to stop myself to don't check them. And school has just begun. I be 16 soon and I hadn't much girlfriend before, so I will look for some sure. And I very miss my last girlfriend...

3rd. Prayers, as I said school has just begun and I should spend 1 prayer in school, and that's impossible. The boss of the school doesn't allow me to do that. When I get home then I should prayer for 2 prayers, and after school not sure I'll be in the mood for prayer, especially on bad days. I couldn't really prayer in the last 6-8 days.

4th. Fasting, I can't fast alone, because as I said noone else is muslim who I live with. So they eat when they want to, that's bad to see they are eating and I'm watching them... Or hear when they say "it's delicious"...

Uh...
So I'm about to stop Islam... Maybe I'll come back to it later, when I be older. If there will be later... But I will keep some rule of Islam in my life, for example alcohol, I will not drink alcohol.
And I will keep Islam as the only truth, peaceful, "clean" religion, and Mohamed (peace be upon him) as the best prophet of Allah.

Allah ma'k!

I don't want to seem harsh, but I think your just making up excuses to do whatever you want. I'm a convert also, and my whole family is Catholic. I'm the only one fasting, and they eat pork a lot.

Even though they are not Muslim and they do those things doesn't mean I'm going to stop. As for the girls, it may be that you just want to fit in with the rest of the kids at your school. Maybe you haven't learned very much about Islam or have not been studying lately. I think you need to really think about this decision.

Tomorrow is NEVER promised. You may die tomorrow you never know. Please think about your decision before you do something like this, specially when it's for worldly things that will not help you in any way. Having a girlfriend will not make you happy in the end, it will only drive you further from the person your meant to be with.

I don't want to seem harsh, I just want you to realize how big of an issue this is.

May Allah guide you and make things issue on you.

^Sister, if you'd read the follow up posts you'd have realised that our bro has had a change of heart hamdulillah, and is still a muslim. Every situation is different sis. If I were in bro Mohamed shoes, and didn't know other muslims in my school, neighbourhood, I think I'd find reverting a bit daunting too. Please make dua, Allah makes it easy for him. Ameen.
