Q Salamu Alaykum. I am quite an anxious and curious Muslim teenager who feels lost in the Western world. I tend to have an outlook of fear on society due to my family’s perspective of life being based on the world as “full of corruption” and us living in very “scary times”. My world perspective is quite narrow and is far right onto the negative side due to this. However, I thought to myself, there has to be a balance in the positives and negatives in the world to make it livable. I figured out, yes, the society is hyper-sexualized, ignorant, and desensitized to a lot, but I couldn't dismay too much as there has to be a balance and that there is always God's compassion and a chance with every calamity or problem. I developed a fear, however, through becoming an adolescent, and that was the fear of the hyper-sexualized world I lived in. A new fear I had was for a man I know who I care about in my family. I know he is very kind, generous and a good, decent person, but I was dismayed when I went on to his Facebook account and saw some of the pages he was following. It shocked me that his number of friends are about a thousand or so. Also, with the fact that he has several other social media sites such as snapchat and what not, that I feared corruption from. Do all guys do this? Is this normal? Is he a good Muslim? Immediately, I was engulfed with fear. I began to fear everything and thoughts flooded through my mind such as, “Does he lower his gaze when he walks; Does he get tempted through the highly sexualized society; does he go out late at night (which he does) to meet up the wrong crowd?” I later on tried to balance out my thoughts through understanding the consequence of sin being insecurity and indulging in the sweetness of halal as reward and fitrah, a peaceful state. I thought, what if I think he is a good person but he has another life on social media and that it is ruining him? I am an older sibling and have a very caring nature, but my positive attributes of curiosity and caring are twisted into fear through my perception of the world. I just want to gather your response on my perception and what you think of it. I think that I have lost the observance of God in everything of worldly matters, but I need a second opinion to help spread out my thoughts and create perspective. Jazak Allah Khairan!
