Hello. Im 18 n a muslim living in Singapore. But only from last year did i ever worth being mentioned a muslim. Last year after i completed my secondary education i had a 4 months break. During this time my parents left me alone here and went overseas. I was alone in my house for 1 month. During this time while i was searching for games on the internet i came across a website about the prophets. I learned about the life of the prophets and how they lead a wonderful life. My heart which have been leading a dark life for years was opened to the light of truth. I learned the truth about islam and started practicing islam and all the daily 5 prayers. I finally found peace in my life that i never found b4. I gave up all d bad habits i had( listening to music, girlfriend, smoking, visiting bad websites etc). Truly i was guided by my lord(Halhamdulillah) and my heart was opened to the truth.
Since i have lived in the dark for 17 years i failed to notice the evil around me. But now that i have been guided i started noticing the evil around me.
U see i help out my father at night in his provision shop. Some of the custormers in my shop are malay teenage women(muslims). But they dress like kaffirs, the r clothed yet naked, if u know wat i mean. They themselves are astray and are leading other custormers in my shop astray too. coz some of the custormers would stop and admire their beauty and charms b4 proceeding on. Im shy to say these but i sometimes would admire their beauty too...but i would try my best to lower down my gaze. The problem dosent stop here. My grandpa who is also helping out my father sells contact cement( a type of glue meant for shoes) to muslim teenagers(who follows the west) KNOWING tat they will use it for glue sniffing!! I tried to tell my grandpa that this is wrong but he ignores me and says tat this is business. The thing which is hurting me most is that all these people r muslims, and they are helping each other in sins and going against the limits set by Allah.
The prob still dosent stop here. Any one who have read the quran knows tat smoking is haram. My father sells ciggrates and smokelss tobaccos in his shop. He also sells prayer oil meant for hindus which means he is helping them worship idols. I have talked abt this prob to my uncle and father but they say tat "this things r widespread n i cant do anything abt it." ALL THIS HAVE BEEN BOTHERING ME 4 D PAST YEAR N I COULDNT 5N A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEMS HAVE ALSO BEEN REDUCING MY FAITH. I hope u guys can give me a soln to this problem. I sincerely hope tat u guys wont give the same ans as my father and uncle. May Allah reward u all.
