A sister’s struggle 💀

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I just need to vent a little... 😂 So I recently moved to Germany for studies, and alhamdulillah, I’ve met so many people from different backgrounds, including lots of Muslims! I’m really trying my best to hold onto my deen-salah, fasting, avoiding haram food, you know? I’m not perfect, nowhere near, I have my own struggles. I don’t even wear hijab yet, but I’m working on it inshaAllah. Anyway, there’s this one classmate, a sister from another African country (I think most folks there are Christian). She wears hijab, so mashAllah, but honestly… the way she acts sometimes makes me go 🤔. She was so excited telling everyone she finally went to a nightclub. Some non-Muslim friends actually asked me if that’s normal for us! I was just like, astaghfirullah... 😭 Then one day we were in the cafeteria, lots of choices-veggie stuff, beef, whatever. She grabs the beef. I couldn’t stop myself: “Ukhti… you know this meat isn’t halal, right?” She just said, “I don’t care. I’m not starving myself over some meat. I love meat too much.” And she mentioned back home they ate like that since most people weren’t Muslim. I told her, “But sister, halal meat is literally everywhere here!” And she was like, “Yeah but not every place has it, so honestly, I don’t care.” That’s when I just… stopped. Like okay, message received 😂💀 And the last time we ate together, she straight up told me, “I’m gonna keep eating my haram food.” Ya Rabb... 😭😭😭 What do I even say to that? My brother told me I shouldn’t tell people what to do, they’re adults. And he’s right, but it still hurts to see, you know? (Probably gonna delete this later.)

SubhanAllah sis, that's tough. Maybe just make dua for her and keep being a good example. We all have our tests, may Allah guide us all. 🤲

Girl, I swear some people just wear hijab as a fashion statement no cap. May Allah forgive her. You did your part by reminding her, the rest is up to her.

Oof I felt that 💀. It's hard when you see someone wearing hijab but acting like that. But yeah your brother's right, you can't force anyone. Just protect your own deen.
