God have mercy on our youth

This is an actual conversation that happened between 3 young Saudi girls on the day of Ashoraa ... lets call girl 1 "L" , girl 2 "B" , and girl 3 "M"... Note that M is fasting, while L & B are having lunch...

L: Hey M, you want some of this salad?
M: No thanks, I am fasting
B: Really? Why?
M: Today is day of Ashoraa, dont you know??
L: nope, so why are you fasting it?
B: Dont you know that if you fast this day, Allah forgives your sins for the past year? Whats wrong with you girl?
L: And like... is this "guaranteed"?
B: Of corse its guaranteed! Allah said so didnt he??!! It's guaranteed, right M?
M (smiling in denial of what she's hearing) : yes of corse... hope you girls make it next year...
B: yeah of corse
L: yeah, I bet we got alot we want to be forgotten (L&B start laughing)

I would just like to add that M is only 18 years old, while B & L are in their mid 20s... I would like to leave the comment to you guys, tell me who's fault is this? And how can we build a strong Mulsim Nation with such ignorance of basic Islamic knowledge and teachings? Really, may Allah have mercy on us all...

i know what you mean considerin am part of the youth,we are not all that bad you know!it's just..that some of us are way too self-focused!

Nothing wrong with being self-focused DQ, bit it shouldn't effect our knowledge of our Religion :-)

well i know this seems a bit dull but sometimes we DO have the knowledge but its kinda "cooler" to be un-caring!

And what will we tell God on judgment day? I was just being "cool" ?
