Islamic Thread AMA

Before i start, i would like to say i don't even know what AMA means, it'sjust this lad here told us not to do it, which caused me to do it.

Ok, here we go. I know i'm going to have a lot of people disagree with me,the majority. But nonetheless, the truth must be spoken.

Disclaimer: I'm not the 'best' Muslim out there, but i aspire to becomebetter. I don't have vast Islamic Knowledge.

Inspired by the misguided views of certain people on the Ramadan thread.

Last thing before i begin.

I welcome anyone from any religion to question why i say what i said. Idon't have immense Islamic Knowledge, but i'll try to answer any question ascarefully and correctly as possible.

Music is haram

I know it's a bold statement but hear me out.

There are 3 ayahs (verses) in the Quran which tackle the issue. You need tounderstand these ayahs are not to be followed as how you interpret it, but asto how the respected Islamic Scholars interpreted it. You would not try and diagnoseyourself with an illness based of what a book says and seek for Medicine tocure your self-diagnose illness. You would consult a Doctor. Would you not?There is an infinitely small possibility, that the way you diagnosed yourselfwas actually correct. Without prior medical knowledge it would be hard todetermine whether you’re ill or not. In that same way, you consult the interpretationof the Quran with a person with Islamic background. And to add to that all, youwill receive sins for twisting the words of Allah.

If there are equal number of Islamic Scholars on both sides of the debate,this situation would require you as a follower to leave the thing all together.For the sake of this argument let’s assume two Islamic Scholars had conflictedviews on the matter of Music being halal. You would be required to leave Musicas whole and not touch it or in this case listen to it.

So we now got the basic fundamentals down. I can move to the situation athand. Is Music Haram?

According to the three ayah in the Quran it is. For those who wish tounderstand or know the ayahs , Google is your pathway.

Listening to Music is sinful, due to it being a waste of time. We as Muslimwish to memorise the whole Quran from back to front. Many, Islamic Scholarssay:

''One who has Music in his brain, cannot memorise the Quran.''

Two opposite cannot coexist with each other, is that not reasonablethinking?

Music is the sound of Shaytan (devil), i two have become a victim of it. Ilistened to it for so many years, rap,grime,rock,kpop you name it. Even Celticmusic. I've done every genre back to front. And here i stand before you tellingyou it's haram. I'm not ashamed to admit my mistakes, I’m a human, my heartgets pulled in every direction. I'm ashamed of the fact that i knew it washaram yet i continued to listen to it.

So, i advise any Muslims who think Music is halal, to abstain from it for thiscoming month. I shall also receive the rewards for influencing you ;p

I never said those who listen to Music are going to hell. But it is sinful,for all i know you could be the best Muslim, kind, charitable, modest yet youronly flaw is that you listen to Music.

1+1+1-1= does not equal a minus number. But in the month of Ramadan, the number of sins are multiplied so that might cause the downfall to your so far flawless record. Of good deeds...

Just sleep on it, how hard would it be to stop listening to music for amonth.

I'm trying to stop listening to it for the rest of my life, but change doesnot happen overnight, leave it for a month and see how hard it was without it.

Oh, i nearly forgot .

Ramadan Mubarak

That made me laugh, i would have to say Naked. Losing its shell, a body part would be closer to being naked then homeless. Plus his shell is not its habitat.

Through the day ,you're fasting so it won't be a problem because you won't have the energy. I would recommend hitting the sack before 11.

Islam teaches Muslims, to respect other religions.
“To you be your religion, to me be mine.”
Direct words from the Prophet i believe in. Pbuh.

Okay I actually got a question. You say music is haraam but if I wanted to watch the Euros would I have to skip the national anthems and turn my TV on mute in case I accidently hear random chanting, drums or trumpets by the fans?

If you masturbate your fast will be broken anyways that should be sufficient to repel you from such corrupted material. Remember there is no shaitan in Ramadan to do was was/Whispers so it should be much easier to quit. DONT WATCH any material which contains sexually arousing content such as anime tv ads/shows etc. And go to the mosque for your 5 daily salat if you can.

Trust me it's easier than you think all you have to do is try and with Allah permission you will have too much fear to watch such filth.

yh and lower your gaze on the streets etc <-- pro tip.

+ Look away/lower gaze if someone's awrah is exposed on tv or real life whether it be male or female, your not allowed to watch.

Yes thats correct, your in control of the mute button and what you hear at home, so do it out of the fear of Allah.

And Allah knows best.

I'd rather be a playboy for 11 months and than pray none stop for the month of Ramadan.

The famous hadith which insitgated people into saying PBUH after Mohammeds name tackles your question, or was it insult towards me?

Those who the month of Ramadan passes without being forgiven are cursed by both Muhammad pbuhand the Arc angel Gabriel.

Does that answer your question?

I don't want to be cursed by the one i follow. Defeats the purpose if you ask me.
