Bismillah,

Hafez, May Allah, SWT, provide you with good companionship in place of a cruel and difficult family.  Ramadan Mubarak.

Sorry to here about your Father.I found my father pushing me, I met him first time at seventeen After 9 years Later of investigation, Being Christian raised I Guess? Baptist private school, I found He pushed me though he did not follow religion, drinking, adultery, fraud. God is the best to judge. So I Read God's Revalation recited By An Angel to an illiterate unlearned. (The Quran) I could not turn back to my mothers family religion. I would not follow my Fathers crooked path (What he thought was Islam) It is hard. If it was easy, all of mankind would have followed Islam The teaching Testified against every Blood relative I've Met !!! To what I now believe is thier misfortune. They Have turned me out, my mother won't even let me have her phone number. My father doesn't want to see me cause his ways are of the hypocrite. And I exposed them by What he wanted to force on me. The point is If Mankind as a whole fails to judge earnestly by the light (Revelation) of What God Reveals in the Quran. They (Mankind) Will find Themselves in discrace and destitude. And Shame will cover ther faces on the last day (Day of judgement). For that they took God's communications as a joke. God is all seeing All knowing. May God Guide you the straight path. Peace be with you.

But my dad basically forced me to go and I had to go through the whole routine. Don't you guys think he is wrong and that that is "haram"?

Young,

Greetings.  I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience.   Not every muslim fully practices the religion.  Not every muslim performs his/her obligations set forth by Allah s.w.t.   And no person is perfect.  This is why we have two angels to keep record of all our deeds, good and bad.  This is why there will be a day of judgement wherein Allah will judge us according to our deeds.  And this is why Allah created heaven and hell.

I'm sorry that your father wasn't and isn't a good example for you.  But I want you to try and leave his judgement to Allah.   Ask Allah to show him his errors and bring him back to the straight path (as he is surely far from it right now). 

Try to seperate your feellings for your father and your quest for religion.  Don't accept or reject Islam on his account.  Your faith is between you and your creator.   Your  belief  or disbelief in Islam will not hurt, harm or help your father in the least. 

Your experience with your father is one of the many trials that Allah will test you with in life.  Trust me, we've all been tested and no one has the "perfect life."  Throughout all of lifes's test try to  remain obedient to Allah, you'll get through them a lot faster. 

Lastly, I can understand that you're angry with your father and you have every right to be, BUT Allah tells us to be kind to our parents.  Even if you don't like your father, you still must be respectful.  Not because you fear him but because you fear your creator, and not because you love him, but because you love your creator.

Peace bro, you're in my prayers

Thanks alot guys. I really appreciate your feeback. Everybody around me says the same things you guys said...except his family.

Let me ask you...I didn't want to go to the Mosque..it's just a weird experience for me I wasn't mentally set for going to a new place of religion and I really don't go to much to church I just pray so why should i go to the mosque? But my dad basically forced me to go and I had to go through the whole routine. Don't you guys think he is wrong and that that is "haram"?

When I asked him why he wasn't with me he said "oh oh your mom said not to interfere with your life not to mix up your emotion becasue you were to young" when I said why didn't you pay child support he says cause your mom never asked...first off doesnt the money go for me not her...ha...thats ignornat. And lastly he ate pork he was never religious, he drank gambled basically had a finger to the world and now he wants me to be Muslim w/o him being one...NO WAY!

Lastly he expects me to call his kids with another wife he had my brothers and sisters get the hell outta here with that b/s. Their nothing by my fathers kids to them...a man basically just gives his sperm a women delivers a baby the only true sister I have is from my mother even though its from another marrige.

Thanks for all your help guys

Salam?? haha

Bismillah,

Young,

I'm sorry you had such a hard time with your dad.  When a parent disrespects you and has never really taken care of you, how are they a parent?  I think being around such a foolish, lazy man can only cause you pain.

Stern?  He should pay your mom back child support.  How's that for stern?  He could make payments...  But how is he going to be the father that you needed as a child?  He's not!  Maybe in the Prophet Muhammad's, pbuh, time dad's just naturally fed, clothed, and guided their kids.  But that's not happening a lot now.

So the question for you Brother Ahmad is:  Please think about this.  Do you really think that this hypocritical man has any rights over this young man?  And do you realize how painful it is emotionally to deal with a parent who has disregarded and neglected you? 

I think you should protect yourself from emotional damage, Young, whatever that takes for you.  And if you have questions about Islaam, ask Brother Ahmad or others like him on this forum.  Your dad isn't a good source of knowledge.
