This post is to counter argue what most people say about Kerala. Most say that they can’t lead a good life because they live in Kerala, Especially for teenagers like me. And who can blame them? Here you have easy access to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes etc. Here you can flirt with any girl without any problems from elders. You can also have special relationships with any of them. (We put it as lines and crushes). Many ask “how can I lead a life according to Islamic shariah in such a corrupt place “.
But let’s look at the plenty of opportunities that lies for us in this place to gain reward in the hereafter.
When you are returning from school in a private bus, you will come across many girls from other schools in the streets. With every passing girl that I and you don’t look at you will gain reward from Allah(easy isn’t it). Believe me; I and you won’t get this opportunity in Saudi Arabia. Similarly a girl who follows the Islamic hijab will be ridiculed by her classmates (especially if she is studying in Christian missionary schools like ). But she should understand that she will get more reward from Allah than the girl living in Saudi Arabia. Because the girl in Saudi Arabia follows the hijab partially because she fears the law. Same is the case with boys wearing pants above the ankles. Such boys will be considered a geek(or motor) by his classmates. Similarly is the case with flirting. The more I and you stay away from it, the better it gets.

Besides the bad things prevailing in Kerala. There are a whole lot of good people here to interact with. There are mosques at every corner, good Quran classes and also camps which constantly reminds us of the hereafter.
Lead a life fearing Allah, your creator and sustainer. Ignore what the society thinks about you. When you control your temptations in this cruel society life will be easier for you. And remember, with each and every anti Islamic things that I and you ignore, we will get rewarded.
