"What's the biggest struggle in your life?"

"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."
