ISNA Kickoff Bash?


As salaam alaikum my fellow hyderabad village naseebers..

WHAT IS UP WITH THE STUPID ISNA "KICKOFF" PARTY???? How can you have a party in a CLUB to kickoff ISNA??

Contrary to what many think about ISNA being one big party where people go to the House of Blues, come back drunk and then go back out to whatever other concert there is "2 mins away from the convention center" the next day;

THAT IS THE NOT THE PURPOSE OF ISNA AND IF YOU ARE USING IT AS SUCH ATLEAST BE AWARE THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT AND DON'T ADVERTISE YOUR GUNAH!!! If you want to kick off ISNA have a Halaqa or Qiyam or something.. Brothers and Sisters SEPARATE ofcourse. (It's sad that I had felt the need to say that)

What kind of message are we sending to the City of chicago and all the non-muslims that we come across?? That Islam is one big joke?? We preach to the world about how perfect our religion is and how it's a way of life but wait... those coming to celebrate Islam and listen to lectures to broaden their knowledge of this perfect religion are doing anything BUT choosing Islam as a way of life rather using it as an excuse to party.

Please think about that.. How does it sound to you??

For those of you who are uneffected by what i just said chew on this.. YOU HAVE STOPPED HUNDREDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM GETTING THE SAWAAB OF LISTENING TO EXPLANATIONS OF THE WORD OF ALLAH (SWT) AND THE SEERAH OF THE PROPHET (SAW)

With that said.. What makes YOU different from SHAITAAN?

If you STILL want to get drunk and party like you don't know all the adhaab that is going to happen in the grave, go ahead. Just do it far far away where it doesn't effect those who are trying to stay away from it.. and please don't advertise it there either. PLEASE?

yea i know, none of my friends want to go this year and i'm like no you guys c'mon give it a chance. Don't pay attention to that stuff, just go to the lectures, the bazaar and then we'll go hang out on devon and shop! They said "NO!" but i'm still hoping it'll be better.. do you think ISNA will care about it? You know what, i'm going to email Imam Siraj and Shaykh Fisal and all the ISNA-going shaykhs i know and have them do something like maybe even stand in the halls of the hotel or something to try and "stop it with their hand" cuz I don't see anyone one of them doing anything of that sort.

yupp This is why my immediate family has turned anti-ISNA sorta because of the atmosphere and the stuff that goes on...I miss the good 'ole days sighh plus is it just me or are the lectures these days not that great?? btw most people who you are addressing this to will probably skim through it possibly think a little(who knows) but none may change or care...we're getting reminders all the time about the truth of Islam yet people are blind to it unforunately...May Allah guide us all
