Can my parents force me to be Muslim?
There is a difference between a muslim and someone who believe in islam, you can be a muslim only as a referance and your family have to only advice you to pray or read quran. Nothing in islam comes by forceادعُ الى سبيل ربك بالحكمة والموعظة الحسنةTranslation: guide people to the path of Allah by wisdom and good advisory.You choose wheather to believe or not.I know one muslim who never believe in god and yet he’a muslim on papers, he drinks alcohole and do drugs and he never pray or read quran. Its his choice and his parents never force him to do anything about it.In islam you should respect your parents even if they were non muslims, but following what they believe in is something you need to work on, and the only way to do that is to read in quran willing to learn more about islam and prayer is what you need to practice to become a believer day after day. Trust me it doesn’t happen in one day or two, belief needs practice to know who created you and to whom is the return after death.I’m not trying to preache here so think about how you want your life to be. Good luck
Are Muslim parents strict?
Hmm you are Asian I presume from Japan I guess as mentioned on your profile and you like Malaysian Muslim I guess. The thing is I would say that Muslims practice segregation , but if you see Muslim Philippines are abit open minded .but in general some are too hard to approach I mean muslim females so I say they are indoctrinated to stay away from men .In Indonesia Because female babies are done female gential mutalation there mother's say that because of the clitorus the girl will grow up wanting more sex . And I personally take offence to such practices how can you have rights to destroy what's natural in female babies. I am just stating facts .There are other things too that women mostly are just religious as you see them in Indonesia . And don't have much skills so I say what's the point when they can be good at most of the things there parents should not tie them up just for a good person to marry life ain't easy these days .The positives are few so I suggest Muslim parents have lot of control and say over there kids. Very few parents don't that aren't religious .There will be many muslim scholars but the reality is most are earning money from crowd gatherings for there lectures. If some are genuine they would try to bring change not by just words but by giving emphasis on solutions not just word of mouth.
My parents don't want me to date a Muslim?
He's amazing and kind. He's so much better to me than anyone else and I always have fun with him. We're Christian. What bothers me though is that my parents haven't even been to church in over 15 years and they have the audacity to preach stuff out of the Bible to me. Him and I have already talked about marriage and kids. We would get married without religion involved and teach our kids both until they were old enough to decide which faith they wanted to follow. We also agreed to never bring up religion. What should I tell my parents? I've already told them all of that but my mom is stuck on stereotyping him because he's from the middle east. He's Afghan born in Germany moved to the US and raised only by his dad and not a strict Muslim. I really care about him and respect him and I don't like the way my parents talk about him and they are patronizing me as well.
Why are Muslim parents so STRICT!!!?
They also threaten me by saying that they're gonna throw out my makeup and all my clothing (obviously not the modest ones. they say they'll throw out my nice clothes i wear at home) And I can't EVER change their minds because no matter how much i quote them stuff like "theres no forcing in islam" they just dont listen. and probably never will, so i have to find a way life through this. Just wondering if there are people out there who also have really strict muslim parents and how they cope with it. -.-
Why do Muslim parents not educate their kids?
Hmmm. Let me think.My grandfather had done engineering and served in Indian Railways till he got retired.My father followed the same footsteps and was in the Railways at a very respectable position until he took retirement and turned towards private companies. Also, he had done his MBA at the age of 45.My cousin sister has done Masters in Mathematics, she is now doing her Ph.D too and is a professor in Oman.My uncle has done civil engineering and has taken up several big projects in Mumbai.My brother and cousin both have degrees in Aeronautical engineering and are now doing jobs.I have several cousins and aunts more who are teachers and professors.I also have cousins and other relatives who are really good doctors.My sister in law have done Masters in Urdu language and was a professor, she had also completed some computer courses and did a job teaching a computer course for a while, she have also done fashion designing and is really good at it.I will be starting with my M.Sc in Clinical Psychology next month.Hmmm. I really don't know why Muslim parents don't educate their children. Tsk. Shame.
How can I convince my parents that Muslims aren't all out to murder them?
The Quran says in (5:32): if you have killed one human, unjustly, it is as if you have killed all of humanity, and if you have saved one human, it is as if you have saved all of humanity.’ This verse tells us that killing of any person is a sin, wrong, forbidden, do it and you earned a one way ticket to hell.There is a lot of propaganda against Muslims that is not trye. According to Trump: ‘Islam hates us.’ No, it doesn’t. The Quran says: ‘There is no compulsion in religion.’ Meaning that people are free to voice their opinions and we can’t condemn them.Ask your parents that if they are speaking the truth to find one Ayah in the Quran, that says that killing of non-Muslims, unjustly, is okay. When they are not able to do that, then you can ease them into the reality and show that Muslims are just as peace loving as the next guy, unless ofcourse the next guy hates peace. :POkay, my answer is over, but I just wanna tell you one last thing. You should understand that they are your parents and all that you say to them must be in a respectful, kind and loving way. Talk to them when they are alone and ask them politely to change their views. Even if they disagree there is no need to get angry. Hope this helps. :)
How do I deal with my strict Muslim parents?
They just drive me up the wall. I'm 14 about to go to high school and my parents just keep driving me crazy. They're strict about the way I dress. Not only can I not show a little bit of skin, my clothes can't be form-fitting or flattering. I'm allowed to wear a t shirt and jeans. I can't show any more than that. They think if I look the least bit attractive, guys are going to look at me and wanna rape me or something. That's not the worst part. Before I was allowed to go out to the mall on the weekends with my friends, but now they won't even let me do that unless they're with me all the time. They don't even let me be friends with any guys, and even worse be friends with girls that have boyfriends. All their complaining about what I do and strict rules is really making me feel miserable. I feel like I have no control over my life and they don't trust me at all. I really need help. All they want me to do with my life is study and go to school and get a good job, and then get married to some loser that they pick out for me. But I don't want to live that kind of life. My parents won't even let me take vocal lessons. I think they're worried that I might grow up to be a singer or something and they're against that too.
How do I tell my parents and friends I don't want to be Muslim anymore?
You are 13. there’s No need to think about men and dating now.Islam restricts women. You have to live with it for now. If you tell your feelings to mom and dad, they will not understand. they are too deep into it. the moment you tell them, your life will become a prison…not that you have much freedom…but you will lose the little freedom you have and on top of that you will lose their trust too.they will not trust you after that and You will be sent to be brainwashed to the islamic shrink. So, best thing to do is stay undercover. Just live as you have always lived.Right now you can’t do anything but be realistic.Accept the reality. Don’t show any defiance against your religion. As long as you are dependent on your parents, you will have to live by their terms. THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH THAT YOUR PARENTS WOULD ALLOW YOU TO UNFOLLOW ISLAM.Even if your parents were open-minded(which is very unlikely), the society(char log) will shame them and will be against your family.Living will become difficult for your family.. This is the main reason to keep your feelings to yourself for now.
MUSLIMS: How to tell parents I'm Atheist?
I'm 15 and don't believe in Islam anymore. Don't try to argue with me or post Qur'an verses or anything, because I know it's all not true. How do I tell my parents I'm an Atheist? I don't know how to do this. I know if I did, my mom would definitely cry forever and ever. My dad wouldn't talk to me, he'd just be shocked and severely disappointed. I just don't want to go to Masjid anymore. I don't believe in it. I don't believe in religion. I don't want to go and pointlessly attempt to indoctrinate myself by inculcating my mind with Qur'an verses that I don't believe in. I don't want to have to pray 5 times a day when I don't believe. I don't want to have to fast for a month when I don't believe. Don't think that I'm leaving the religion because I'm too lazy to follow the rules!!! It's just that I don't believe. Believe me, I've tried and tried and tried and tried to justify Islam in my mind. I've prayed, read Qur'an, argued with atheists, done EVERYTHING to make myself believe in Islam, but I just can't because I feel I'm insulting my intelligence by forcing myself to believe in something I don't believe in. I've gone off on a tangent, but anyway: How do I tell my parents? I feel really really really sad because when I tell them, they will be very disappointed but I can't allow them to keep making me practice something I don't believe :(
