as they never think beyond their rude part and
besides no one can force you to do anything if you really fear God, in
my case many times viagara has been tried indirectly by many people
(like in less than 1 year time, before is different issue) to make me do
unlawful deeds but I didn?t, though this is not much. The bad guys
believe that they can get anything done, insha?Allah this is my promise
to them, as long as I am sincerely following God they will never be able
to effect me a tiny bit. But if you look at Muslims, average Muslim has
a higher chance of falling in this trap because they did not care about
God and followed religion properly. This also works in many other ways,
if you don?t want to sleep around then someone around you may do it, and
then you would be told in many ways by "many people" that if others
around you have done it why can?t you (I experienced the same
situation).
You see we are not responsible for other people?s deeds, as far as I am
concerned I honestly don?t understand why and how people can have an
unlawful relationship and I don?t think I will ever understand it
either. But the way it looks like average person is far too ahead of me
in thinking and accepting such things. We are only responsible for
ourselves so don?t let any event around you effect your life, mind and
thoughts, life is a fight and test to prove that you really care about
God.
One may ask why do bad guys do this to religious people, well it has
many disadvantages, once a person?s shame is gone there is a higher
chance of they doing the same thing again. Once shame
