Is it that hard?!
I mean I’m a pretty average Muslim guy, I do all my prayers on time, slip up from time to time (nothing crazy though like drinking or partying). But if there’s anything that gets to me the most, it’s how my Muslim brothers and sisters cary themselves. I’ve never laid a hand on a woman, EVER, because I think that in itself is a form of zina! Moreover, I treat women the same way I’d like my sister and mother to be treated…like ladies not tramps.
Some people call me strict, but I don’t think so. So is it too much to expect the same out of a Muslim sister?! All I’m asking for is for my brothers and sisters to respect themselves, and not touch each other. Don’t hug, rub up, and sometimes shake hands with each other. RESPECT YOURSELVES. I know sometimes it’s hard to tell a guy “hey don’t rub up or hug me or put your arm around me”, but is it that hard really or is it that you’re embarrassed to say it?!
I’ve been in countless of situations that would trump that. From the usual temptation of the opposite gender, to being invited to a joint of weed, to being invited to a party where there’s booze EVERYWHERE. And every time, and AL HAMDO LIL ALLAH, I’ve said it straight up, “I’m a Muslim, and I don’t drink, do drugs, or screw around with woman”.
Is it that hard to say it?! Stop being embarrassed and grow up, be who you are and not what people think is nice and cute.
