"But he loves me..."
Muslim girl: "But I love him..."
Me: "No, you 'lust' him. You're 19. At 19 everyone confuses good looks and attar for love. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you it's an infatuation ...And what do you mean 'boyfriend'?! Keep a distance. Or just marry him. Muslims don't date - unless they're edible."
Muslim girl: "But he loves me..."
Me: "He doesn't love *you*, he shouldn't even be touching you! *smack on head* Have you been smooching?! Yackety yack."
Muslim girl: "But we respect each other, I like his kindness, he likes my kindness..."
Me: "Trust me, he's not looking at your *kindness*! He's a piranha, he's after your cooter & cha'chas!"
Muslim girl: "But - "
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
ReplyDeleteBut on the serious side, I am sure this is happening in many families - in part, I blame the parents - if they had done a even a decent job in teaching some Islamic values, not to mention some self-respect, MG's wouldn't dare let a boy take advantage of them and take their hearts for granted. It's sad, because much of the time, the girls think the boy is going to follow through (i.e. marry them) but that's not how the boys are viewing it - at least that is how it seems to be from my point of view / experience.
haha funny but sad. I've had similar conversations unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteEven if parents teach islamic value we don't know the qadar of Allah swt.
ReplyDeleteOur children could be our test, don't you think.
Some ppl grew up in an islamic house, with islamic education and when they can go away of this way of life, may Allah azawajal protects us, ameen.
life is like that! we don't know if tomorow we'll still be muslim.
Allah swt has our heart btw His 2 fingers. Today we are muslim and tomorow???
I totally agree with you. Those were just my initial thoughts, but of course, you are right, we don't know what it to come, regardless if we are given that Islamic upbringing or not. Indeed, children are a test from Allah (swt).
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Post.
