Going on a date seems to be a common thing done by the youth and adult people. Both men and women have the same right to know each other and go somewhere together. They may fall in love although the lover has different caste, creed, or race. This is a matter of choice.

Talking about virginity is a bit complicated. It is because in certain countries, virginity is something that should be kept until the wedding. On the contrary, many people do not see this as something should be discussed. As virginity related to the sex and sexual activities, they think that the most important think is giving proper sexual education to teenagers. So, there will be less youths or adults who get sexual disease. In Muslim culture, virginity is something that should kept both for men and women until they marry. Of course, this rule is set because of some positive reasons. The first is virginity relates to someone’s respectability. Not only other people who will respect the women or men, Allah will give the person special gift for those who can keep the virginity.

Those who cannot keep the virginity will get big sin. Allah states clearly in Quran that people have to stay away from something called zina. It can be explained as the activities related to sex. Once people try to get closer to zina, there will be strong temptation to do that again and again. If getting closer is a big sin, doing zina will be more than a sin. Besides, Islam does not recognize woman and man relationship before marriage. This is also a way to keep the virginity for both men and women. In finding the future husband or wife, Islam asks the followers to know each other but there should be another person who accompanied them. Being together in the same place and the same time without someone else tends to make the couple do zina.

Nowadays, it seems the number of smokers is getting higher. In certain area, many teenagers have tried to smoke and they tend to repeat smoking again and again. Muslim religion actually does not forbid their followers to smoke. They are allowed to smoke but they are not advised to do so. In the Quran, there is no statement which strictly forbids people to smoke. However, Quran strongly states that people must not disturb each other and make other people in danger. So, look at the situation while people are smoking. The smoke produces unpleasant smell which tends to disturb other people.
