Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have been a Muslim since at birth...
I am proud to be one.

But I have noticed how Muslims these days have "lost" their way through the darkness of this world... Sadly, I have been on that path for some years but I am not happy at all!
That path brought me happiness for 1 week and sadness for years!
Anyway, these days Muslims say they are "Muslim" but are they?

They drink, have sex and do all the BIG sins that God forbid.

How do you think we can make them come on the right track again?

Good point Zaaki ! idea The parents! Especially when the kid is born in another non-Muslim country.

What if the parents do teach them but they don't listen?
You all have to see it from all sides and not just stay on one side 3nodding

If the childrens don't lisen it's the childrens fault.

Assalamu'alaika.

I suppose you are not a muslim, yes?

The word Islam is derived from the Arabic verb Aslama, which means to accept, surrender or submit. Thus, Islam means acceptance of and submission to God, and believers must demonstrate this by worshiping him, following his commands, and avoiding polytheism. The word is given a number of meanings in the Qur'an. In some verses (ayat), the quality of Islam as an internal conviction is stressed: "Whomsoever God desires to guide, He expands his heart to Islam." Other verses connect islām and dīn (usually translated as "religion"): "Today, I have perfected your religion (dīn) for you; I have completed My blessing upon you; I have approved Islam for your religion."Still others describe Islam as an action of returning to God—more than just a verbal affirmation of faith.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-'islām) is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of prophet Muhammad, a 7th century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: الله, Allāh). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits (to God)".

Islam's fundamental theological concept is tawhīd—the belief that there is only one God. The Arabic term for God is Allāh; most scholars believe it was derived from a contraction of the words al- (the) and ʾilāh (deity, masculine form), meaning "the God" (al-ilāh), but others trace its origin to the Aramaic Alāhā. The first of the Five Pillars of Islam, tawhīd is expressed in the shahadah (testification), which declares that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is God's messenger. In traditional Islamic theology, God is beyond all comprehension; Muslims are not expected to visualize God but to worship and adore him as a protector. Although Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, we reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, comparing it to polytheism. In Islamic theology, Jesus was just a man and not the son of God.

God is described in a chapter (sura) of the Qur'an as:

"…God, the One and Only
God, the Eternal, Absolute
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten
And there is none like unto Him."

(Qur'an Surah Al-Ikhlas, verse 1~4)

Wassalamu'alaika.

but it isn't always the parents fault, sumtimes kids these days just sneak around and do stuff,

well i agree with Zaaki
reading qora'an and following it beside Mohamed's sonna is the best way to keep on the track
maybe there will be some rocks and hard time in the start of it but that is life about
for the parents thing yeah it comes hard to see whose fault but we were born with brains so we are suppose to use them or by not doing that i think we are denying our humanity
@Count of Mistekreuz i liked every word you said here
i think i'm so much agree with you
it comes from the inside so who ever do that should change his /her self first as Count of Mistekreuz said

I know someone who drinks alcohol, smoke, don't do nimaz, and much more haram.

And i don't see the point of alcohol. You just get stupid rolleyes

And about hijab, it would be great if you weared that. I got 3 sisters and 1 mother, but no one of them ears hijab. I see hijab as a rule, and not just for totaly relegirus girls.
