I Have A Blog, How Odd.

*Start rant*

I live in a country where youths like me drink alcohol like we'd drink water...reality check!

One of the things that I cannot stand: Muslims who drink and don't see anything wrong with it. Why would you want to destroy the body Allah gave you?

The temptation is always there for me as well but i try to surround myself with muslims and non-muslims that look down upon it & see it the way i & Islam does: disgusting, pointless & haram. Period. End of discussion.

I try to surround myself with people who at least share my morality & see the idiocity of things such as drinking.

I will never be able to understand some people's logic. This whole thing makes me pretty sad.

Some people think it makes you a man...how does intoxicating urself, investing in future health problems, and putting others around you make you a man? Alcohol intoxicates & impairs you & when you're under the influence of alcohol you can't do many things, & one of those is praying.

Some people think you have to drink to be accepted...just face it there's a lot of muslims who drink...maybe they feel societal pressure. Well, i think alcohol is for the ignorant who are easily suseptible to societal pressures and don't have the power to even stand up for themselves

Actually it is the case whether you like it or not...alcohol's in your face & society is telling you to take it...some people think you have to drink to feel in.

I don't give a damn what type of "peer pressure" muslims get from their non-muslim peers...DRINKING IS HARAM AND IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY...sorry for those who oppose my opinion but that's how i feel.

I am not at all up for having an "holier than thou" attitude & leaving out those who "you think" are'nt good for you. The point is every one is capable of falling into sins. You, me...every person.

Thus, it's impossible to assume that "I am good and everyone else is bad". Everyone is capable of doing good acts and bad acts.

We should definitely try to help out others with their iman if we are capable of it, by providing them with knowledge and making them aware of the consequences of haram acts.

I'd rather be a loser in this world than be a loser in the Hereafter in front of Allah.

So i'd pretty much rather prefer getting drunk over a glass of Ribena or milk.
