do any muslims drink/smoke at uni?

2 things:

1) what about getting drunk and doing things that are out of control? sex, drugs, etc? Don't say a person knows his/her limits...those are risks...and it can lead them to committing adultery, possibly drugs, and other things which may go against Islam's teachings.

2) I lol'd at the "fasting" part. DO YOU KNOW why Muslims fast?
To learn things like patience, and to think of poor people who don't have much food and live a life of hell, such as in Africa right now. Fasting also teaches you not to spend your money carelessly on food and to spend your money wisely on food. Plus, studies have been done which show that fasting is good for the body, metabolism, improves your digestice system, etc...

it's nice to be educated for once right?

Do muslims know how beer is made?

I've never really understood this. Where in the process of making alcohol is there something worthy of a ticket to hell?

Yeast + Sugar ------fermentation-----> Alcohol

The only thing wrong about alcohol is that it is harmful to the body but

Loads of things but not enough time to waste on you:

1)With that logic you shouldn't eat anything in case it leads to you eating so much you have a heart attack. Or never drink juice because if you drink too much the sugar will rot your teeth. Anyway even if you are right threatening people with hell for drinking alcohol is complete madness. Cheating on your wife does not deserve a lifetime of torture and damnation.

2)There is nothing you could ever say to make anyone with half a brain believe starving your body of the nutrients it needs to survive is a good thing.

Also I am not religious at all. That is by choice.

Most muslims have no choice to their beliefs and those that do are always under scrutiny. That is ********.

Yes I am educated, however not by you. I probably know more about your religion than you ever will

right, im not going to beat around the bush here. i am a muslim, but a unorthodox one. i do drink (social drinker, but yes still one) and i smoke. i am not proud of this fact but the way im looking at this is, im young, and being in britain is not easy. born and bread here. i do hope (really do) that once my uni years are over, i will "get it out of my system" and become a better, othodox muslim. of course i do not eat pork, and i do try and pray daily (rarley 5 times though =/ ) i am not here to be judged but was jsut wondering if you have seen/know any other muslims who do drink/smoke, and weather they are harrased or i guess "bullied" for there actions, by either other muslims or students. sorry about the long text =)

The only thing wrong about alcohol is that it is harmful to the body but I see plenty of muslims doing things that are harmful to their bodies like eating fatty food, fasting, blowing themselves up.... etc

Pffft, who are you kidding, like the above poster said it is proven to have beneficial physioloigcal affects on the body! The body isnt just about nutrients, its about many other factors and fastign helps those.

And i doubt you know more than a muslim about Islam, so sssh!

What are you looking for..encouragement?

ffs, I hate people who think that being muslim is part of their cultural heritage. If you drink, you're not a muslim and don't call yourself one, regardless of your pakistani heritage.

You want to drink fine, no one cares. Just because you're brown, doesn't mean you have to be a muslim.

I drink, and I consider myself a Muslim because of my beliefs not my heritage. Because I still believe in Allah, the prophets and that the Qur'an is the word of God. Just because i dont follow all parts of Islam stictly doesnt mean i'm a fake muslim or anything.

Do what you like. It's up to you. Smoke weed and party with Allah himself.

umm... when drinking is strictly forbidden by Islam, it kind of does

It means you're not a muslim, you're a munafiq. A hypocrite.
