"The biggest struggle in my life.. Probably living in a non
Muslim society. I have a lot of non Muslim friends which I
absolutely love but I find it really hard sometimes to explain
to them why muslims don't go clubbing. They think it's a way
to socialise so trying to explain to them why I don't want to
go can be quite difficult. I don't want them to think that I'm
not a person that socialises because I am but it's just
sometimes difficult to explain to them why we don't go out
clubbing because it obviously promotes illegitimate lust and
other things like that.
I'm glad that I came to university because I've got like non
Muslim friends as well as Muslim friends but sometimes it is
quite hard to explain things like that to them. I've only met
Muslims this year at university because in my school we
didn't really have that many muslims. When you get to
university people do start drinking and that's quite hard to
explain to them that we don't go out. You will want to keep
them as friends but it's quite hard if they don't understand,
but you do get a few that do understand but it's just kind of
hard."
