The biggest obstacle for the youth to return to the religion is the haraam relationship. There are many people who pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, and are very interested in religion. But, one place is stuck in that haraam relationship. Their idea is that non-mahram [1] walking with a girl, going out together, eating phukka, taking selfies, uploading those selfies on Facebook and walking around the park holding hands are not really a problem.
The beginnings of haram relationships begin with college-university life in Metadag. When a boy or a girl is admitted to a new college or university, the wind of youth blows in his mind. He hopes the most talented student in college is his friend Hayek. The smartest boy in the university gets a different kind of pleasure when he rides in the same rickshaw with him. The most beautiful girlfriend in the department is sitting with him in the canteen and eating phukka — the matter is different for him! In college-university

During our stay in our life, many such friends and girlfriends come and crowd, whom we call ‘Just Friends’ in sweet language.
When a boy sits in a canteen with a non-mahram girl in a corner or a girl walks around in the same rickshaw with a non-mahram elder brother in a senior corner of the department, we continue to call these incidents 'friendship'. But we do not know the story behind this so-called friendship, 'Just Friend'.
Whenever you tell a brother or sister who is affected by such a ‘just friend relationship’ that what they are doing or the way they are going is not in favor of Islam at all, they will burn with oil. And say, hey brother! Are we in love? We are just friends. Just like you and I are friends, this girl and I have the same friendship. Nothing more than that.
We have to say with deep love and respect for them ইসলাম Islam never allows them to make the kind of friendship they are talking about. If they consider Islam to be just a formal worship-centric religion according to the other five to ten religions, then they are in a big mistake. Islam talks about all aspects of our lives from waking up to going to sleep. Islam is not a religion at all. This is Hala Deen. A perfect way of life. This Islam determines - with whom I will mix, with whom I will not mix. What to eat and what not to eat. What to wear and what not to wear. How to walk and how not to walk. The Qur'an and Hadith are the syllabus of our life just as we produce the syllabus of the class to pass the exam or to get good results. It is never possible for us to get good results in the hereafter without following this syllabus.
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala did not allow me to mingle, wander, eat together, mingle, surround or eat with just saying 'Just friend'.
Subahanallah
