I agree with all the brothers and sisters here. Prom is haram. The Prophet(P.B.U.H) forbade us to go to a place where there will be unislamic activities going on.(singing,dance etc) Dancing on disco songs with people of the opposite sex, even listening to such lovey dovey songs is totally unacceptable in Islam. Being a Muslim u have to be firm in your Iman and believe in Allah.May Allah protect us all from this evil and strengthen our Iman. Btw all of us should try to offer as much prayers as possible. it helps in keeping us close to Allah. Lastly alternatives is a good choice. U have passed the highschool and u have a right to have fun BUT under Islamic laws and principles.



Sabz: the issue with the prom is not that non-Muslims are attending. The issue is that there is mixed dancing between young men and women, as well as drinking. Very often, after the school organized parties, graduates often get together at hotels to lose their virginity if they already haven't and engage in various other behaviors that are contrary to Islamic principles.There are a number of non-Muslims, both youth and parents, who oppose the prom because of this.While not all of those who attend the prom will have sex, drink or do drugs, a number of them will. In Islam, we are asked to avoid being in situations where we could be pressured to do wrong things. That is why going to the prom is not a good idea. This site offers alternatives that Muslim youth can try to celebrate their prom in a more Islamically acceptable way. I would suggest you check them out.



i totally agree with, hussain and shams and rowaida (second point). prom is not forbidden in the quran, i dont understand how its haram. just because people are non muslim doesnt mean they are bad people, does it?



whether its haram or not the prom isn't everythimg in life(well maybe it is)...but maybe you could do the following1. make your own prom...for girls in a house or rent a place...before the prom try to make some money by working a bit hard and borrowing some from your family and give in some of yours too!! alot of parents are good cooks , they could cook something up and most important a dj or just simply bring in a few good cds...2. just go normally with full covered but dont dance or anything and enjoy yourself3. get few friends over & do something wild...wheither your a male or female


I think the prom is haram....many people dance nasty and perverted.....and watch others doing these acts as well.The prom also encourages the opposite sex to associate with each other making it harder for our young children to take a proper choice concearning their hormones.I do how ever like the idea of an all female party with closed doors or an all male sport frenzy......I dont think Islam is a closed door to fun.....but an open window for learning



A lot of haram things happen amongst highschoolers long before the prom. I went to mine a few years ago and it was a good, clean time, since it was a well supervised school event. The important thing is not to get drawn into the parties later that night! Go home and get your rest or engage in some halal activities.



You people make me sick. You try sooooooooo desperately and ineffectively to try and make substitutions for haraam things. ISLAM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR HARAAM THINGS. ISLAM IS ABOUT MAKING ISLAMIC CHOICES, NOT TELLING YOUR FRIENDS AT SCHOOL HOW MUCH FUN YOU HAD WHILE THEY WERE AT THE PROM.Muslim teenagers are so weak its pathetic. They don't have the IMAN and pride in their faith to be able to tell non-Muslims that this their way of life and try to teach about Islam. Instead, they scurry like cowards for lame excuses and substitions. Why do you need to make up an excuse when Allah is on your side?Once again I must reassert that I'm absolutely disgusted by this article. Muslims who are weak like this are holding the rest of the ummah back.


I have a comment yes it great to give teens advice on what you can do if they dont go to the prom however I went to my prom and I wore my hijab and I was fully covered. AND NO I DIDNT DANCE, OR ACT A FOOL and my night went well and I must say that I was not the only muslimah in attendance their were many of us (Bros & Sis) who went and we had a GREAT time and it was all very fun and clean.
