Music in Islam

  Everything has to be discussed for a while to come to some conclusion. The prophet never had any musical instruments and his companions also did not have any. So let us decide about the music and close this chapter.

 

 Then look into the alcohol and decide about it and leave the debate. The problem is that some people are putting in some own wishes in favor of music and want to carry on the debate. But we do not see any music in the lifetime of the prophet. Semar should have given the verdict on music and then called of the discussion.

 

Don't waste time to debate about music, picture, qunut etc, we will not go anywhere, other civilization have already reached Mars we still fight on this kind of issue.

 

I agree there are more pressing issues.

 

Salams

 

A parent I know told his four year old daughter that if she does notwear hijab Allah will set her hair on fire. So of course she tells al lthe other kids at school scaring them and the teacher had to explain that this is not  true. And this is for a 4-year old....

 

I think parents i the west face so many social challenges for their kids. The minefields are aplenty out there for both girls and boys.

 

 

 

I know that lots of people consider Sami Yusuf's music as controversial, because of the use of musical instruments. . . . . but 'Evil' ?

 

As for the 'Hijab' issue . . . I think its very delicate. Parents who have taken thier sweet-time to 'adapt' to the Deen expect children to turn over a new leaf along with them immediately. It takes time and patience and good Islamic parenting. The child is going to behave however she was brought up like. I would worry about instilling rebellion in the child about the Hijab (referring to the 5-min e.g in the article). . . and would rather take my time, then 'force' the child. And I'm a strong Hijab proponent.
