Question
Alhamdulillah, this year I started Alim course at a Madrasah in another town. However, I have a problem because I am boarding, and I feel no change or can't change because of the boys in my room. It's either they use vulgar language or talk about movies and women. I sleep straight after Esha because I wake up early in the morning, but with them, it's hard. So, what do I do?
Answer
Staying with the others who indulge in fisq and fujoor is really problematic and detrimental for Islaah. It would have been better if you studied at a Madrasah in Durban without boarding. You could stay at home. There are several Madaaris in Durban. Since
MERRYMAKING,
HARAAM
HOLIDAYING
"O Salmaan! The people (in the last of ages) will perform Hajj of this Bait (the
Ka'bah). The rulers will go for amusement and merrymaking; the wealthy will go for business; the poor will go for collecting money, and the Qurraa' (Ulama and Qaaris) will go for riya (show) and fame."
All categories of insincere people who use ibaadat for worldly and nafsaani objectives come within the purview of this and similar other Ahaadith. It also covers those molvis who take groups for Hajj.
The degeneration and rot have reached the level where even the „poor‟ and the rich are all going for a holiday, merrymaking, fun and amusement in the name of Hajj. These holidays are among the
Signs of Qiyaamah.
your home is in Durban, seek admission to one of the Madaaris. There will be no need to stay at the Madrasah.
