Hi
My mother wants me to practice the religion and pray 5 times a day and by living a religious lifestyle such as joining my local mosque and taking part in activities which they deliver.
This also means I cannot go to Hookah bars, Nightclubs or even going to restaurants and take aways to eat which would be forbidden. Furthermore I am unable to keep a girlfriend either. The only thing I would have the ability to do is pray 5 times a day to something I don't really want to do.
The reason she wants me to join the local mosque is she once use to be part of the local mosque where she was actively involved and had a very good reputation. She wants to carry on her status through me.
I value the activities western society allows me to participate in and having fun and also value the Islamic culture of obtaining knowledge such as pursuing education and not being involved in western activities such as dancing, drinking etc to better oneself.
I really need someone else's opinion and broaden my perspective. What would you do in this situation?
Furthermore: She wants me to have status and respect within the local muslim community. By actively pursuing a western lifestyle I would not be able to gain this.
Put the internet to work for you.
