A Cry from A Chat Victim
Bismillah hir Rehman nir Rahim
A Girl Wrote an email saying:
Assalam Aleikom wa Rahmatullah wa
barakatuh I hope you can be of use to me in this problem: I'm a 17 year old
Arab girl living in an Arab country and still in high school.
Unfortunately, I learned about the internet yet, I misused it and spent my
days chatting with guys and watching prohibited websites
(I did such things behind my parents back and no one knew about them) even
though I used to be religious and hated girls who chatted with guys.
I then got to know a 21 years old guy-through the "Messenger" living
in the same country but of different nationality and we went on chatting till
we exchanged true and untainted love "just for the sake of Allah".
He used to educate me about teachings of religion and lead me to righteousness
and guidance. He allowed me to see him through a camera, we sometimes prayed
together.
Later he started to show me parts of his body which in return caused me to
become an addict to the secret habit. Such situation went on for a month in
which we learned a lot from each other. We maintained voice chatting and when
I trusted him I allowed him to see me, my hair and most of my body parts
through the computer camera. My love for him grew more and I thought only of
him and nothing else to the extent that I couldn't concentrate in my studies,
consequently causing my level of educational pursuit to decline.
He then told me about where he lived and so did I. I called him on his mobile
a while after that and checked the validity of the information he gave me. He
said he wanted to marry me, I agreed to his proposal for marriage, although
I'm supposed to marry my cousin, yet I'm now so afraid of my parents'
disapproval especially after he started to threaten me saying: "If you
leave me I'll disgrace you and spread your pictures"! Also he said:"
I'll cal you using the numbers you dialed to reach me and tell your folks all
about you."
When I discussed this matter with him he said that it was just threats yet I
feel that he is not threatening me and that he's really going to do something,
and now I'm thinking seriously of leaving him and returning to the path of
Allah.
My parents are Muslims and religious and if they knew that I'm in love with a
guy and actually in contact with him they're gonna kill me( by
"kill" I mean beating and humiliating) to avoid the scandal and bad
reputation.
I don't know what to do! I'm so scared;
I want guidance;
I want to be happy and safe;
I'm sick of thinking and feeling scared.
Please help me. Because of this problem I quit praying; I quit worshiping in
general because I'm bored and desperate with my life; my sisters' reputation
and futures-as well as mine- will be destroyed if I don't die, and I want to,
today before tomorrow.
I want to leave him but I fear the scandal. He will call back so how can I
stop him? Will Allah forgive me if I return to his path? What are the
conditions of repentance and how should I repent and?
I fear that I may go back to what I used to do? Where's the way out?
How could I get rid of my addict to the secret habit? And now that I suffer
from sexual frigidity, how can I treat it without my parents knowing about it?
I seek your reply so bad; don't throw my mail away.
Please help me as soon as you can; there's no one else to help me; please help
me, please.
The sister's message is over; a message that is truly rich with lessons and
examples Is anyone out there willing to learn?

„X I shall pause at her saying:
("¡K we exchanged true and untainted love, "just for the sake of
Allah") The problem is that every girl thinks that the guy who tries to
hit on her is her dream prince and the fulfiller of her dreams, while he is
actually the prince who brings failure, the maker of sorrows and the destroyer
of hopes. She pictured such love to be (... true and untainted love¡K) but
she smells the rotten of it all before the end of the story; and he appears to
be a stereotype of those wolves who care for nothing except fulfilling their
desires. The hopes are vanishing and the pains are aching and there he is
threatening her saying: "If you leave me I'll disgrace you and spread
your pictures"! Is this true and a "for the sake of Allah" kind
of love?! This is the American way of love!
„X She says: "I'm so scared; I want guidance; I want to be happy and
safe; I'm sick of thinking and feeling scared" Wasn't she at peace and
overwhelming bliss, following the path of guidance and performing her prayers
before stepping into the hellish land of "Chat"? Why is she scared
now? Why did she quit praying? It's the ominous of disobedience that deprived
her of the pleasure of obedience. What was she looking for in "Chat"
vaults? Looking For happiness? She is left now screaming "I want to be
happy and safe".
„X How weird the following words are:" My parents are Muslims and
religious and if they knew that I'm in love with a guy and actually in contact
with him they're going to kill me to avoid the scandal and bad reputation (by
"kill" I mean beating and humiliating)" All this happened while
the parents where inattentive to their child; they've been so careless and so
wasting of the Trust. It's the ultimate confidence that parents have
specifically in young ladies which results in such a disaster. A father may
say: "I have sheer blind trust in my daughters and my unmarriageable
relatives in general". They're no better than Mothers of the believers,
nonetheless Allah Exulted and Majestic be He said about their ethics:
" O Consorts of the Prophet! ye are not like any of the (other) women: if
ye do fear (Allah), be not too complaisant of speech, lest one in whose heart
is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is)
just";
and Said about the Believers' ethics towards them:
" And when ye ask (his ladies) for anything ye want ask them from before
a screen"
Why did He say that?" that makes for greater purity for your hearts and
for theirs".
Is anyone out there willing to learn?
"Verily in this is a Message for any that has a heart and understanding
or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses (the truth)."[Chapter 50, verse
37]
This message has been mailed to me and I took permition from the sister to
publish it, and so I did with the exception her nationality.
