Sometimes I'm passing by a non-Muslim, and I see them doing something haram. I usually get this weird feeling (I bet it's from the Shaytaan) that I can't do what they are doing. I mean, it is tempting, but it is for our own good. If it's something like listening to music, I sometimes want to join them. But then I remember: mUsIc IS HARAM!!! So I stop myself from that tempting urge to move to the beat.
Or maybe they are a bunch of dudes sitting and savoring a candy with gelatin in it. My stomach grumbles, "GeLaTiN is HARAM!".
When we go off to a beach somewhere, we see women showing off their tans, wearing extremely revealing bikinis. I stand not so close to them, wearing my hijab and Abayah. And guess what? They stare at ME! I mean, sometimes we are the more attractive ones in America! (Well technically it IS my fault for coming to a beach with "haram people"!) Well anyway, I can't swim because the men are there, staring at us, wondering why the pop I'm not wearing a swimming suit!
What makes me most comfortable living here in America, is that I know that I have stronger faith than what they think I have (hence, I am very humble.. :) ), my head is kept high, and that in Jannah Insha'Allah, we will do whatever we want to do! (The HaRaM will be HaLaL again!!)

These little mini-tests makes us stronger, insha'Allah, and reaffirmed in our faith. (Plus. skittles are gelatin free now, so woo-hoo!) And beaches?! I just go on the boardwalk for the rides :D, I don't miss the beach as much.
May Allah swt give us strength to overcome this little things that are so haram!
Yeah this happens a lot. it helps that if you can to surround yourself with people who have the same goals and ideals as you do - or somewhat the same. You can find halal alternatives to enjoy with them =)
Skye: I'm glad there are people out there who read my blog (like...YOU!!). I'm also thrilled to know you like it!
Modest Justice: Yes, one feeling that I really enjoy is the feeling I get after going through a test from Allah! (if it was succesfully passed, that is!)
