^well i can only expect they have gone worst...

When i used to watch movies about 2 years ago, just before i stopped watching them, i noticed that all the films had inappropriate scenes in them, back then, i didnt care, but now i regret every moment.

Now i just think of films this way, if, just imagine rasulullaah (SAW) was to visit your house, just imagine this...right, would you hide the TV? Would you watch a film in the presence of rasulullah, would you tell him (SAW) that its cool?

No?

So why do it in the presence of Allaah Almighty?

Islaam and the muslims are above the disgusting methods of "entertainment" of the kaafir. TV is a humiliation for the muslim, (unless its educational ONLY if its educational)

Wa Alaikum Salaam Wa Rehmatullaah

^ no... i mean halal islamic or that type of films.. like the message... if rasulallah cam to my house while i was watching i wud tell him he got his own show spreadin more islam..lol..

That movie never actually depicts Muhammad, does it?
I like desert movies of all kinds, I'll watch it.

Here it is. I'll try to find a better evrsion.

no the one i watched is not a cartoon its realistic which makes me able to last more than two minutes while watching it and no they dont show rasulallah... when they are supposed to talk to him they show him as the camera view (looks freaky for a sec) i found some videos on youtube...

here it is from the start but u can probably find the rest of it : http://youtube.com/watch?v=7vEaEcYzW8A

tell me about it. i got sick of doing that, so i tuned out of tv alltogether. you cant even watch the news without stupid music.

i think im gna be sick...

i think it is time for us to accept the fact that according to such illogical interpretation..everything is haraam...

i cant walk down lee st down in the city coz they play music in the tunnel...

ahhh...i cant buy milk from the grocery store...coz yep..music.

or that place i work...tsk tsk...full of music...

cant watch the news....ahhh...music...

thats what god wants muslims to do...dont see or watch the news, dont work, dont travel, buy a cow and make ur own milk.

why dont we ride on camels too? the sound of cars is quite musical to me...

you do that.

going to the grocery store is a neccesity, as for most of the things you mentioned!


yeah, why not! camels are cool!

u ppl can ride on camels but im having a horse!!

whooahh..relax sis...why u steaming at me for???

i dont have a problem with u...everyone can go by living however they like...it really doesnt phase me...

i have an issue with us muslims (including myself) sticking to little things like this, and pulling ourselves backwards rather than urging forward in this disgusting world.

why dont we just ignore music for a while, struggle against it..and get to the bloody top...then we wont have an issue with music...

if ur gna live in a western country...u have to deal with it...in ways which do not restrict u from functioning as a normal person in society...

as u said...most of the things i pointed out are necessary things...so why dont we admit to the fact that in our context, it is necessary for us to listen to music and just get the hell over it..and struggle thru it...rather than stick our heads in the sand...

as for the camel thing....that was totally rhetorical...im sorry that you would want to pick a fight with me...not very nice if u ask me...

woah! i thought you were havin a go at me! thats why i got...well angry. unfortunatley anger management jut anit in me blood
but watching movies anit anecessity, come on man.

Western countries and say for example the middle east there is not much of difference in terms music and other disgusting stuff,in the UK u see dumb naked women u go to dubai u see the same old dumb naked women

no...im sorry i gave u that implication...

if i was having a go at u..which i wouldnt...i would have quoted or indicated with a ^ or something...which is how it goes round here...

we all have our opinions..and i am entitled to mine...

ive fought abt music a lot round here...never ever got satisfactory or valid justification for 'good music' being haraam...i mean...i dont wana fight with my fellow muslims abt how 'classical music' is haraam...ive done that a lot...and i think this issue is restricting muslims from exploring all realms of civilisation, and social enhancement...

but i dont care...i know my standards and my boundaries....god knows me...

and we shud make efforts to steer clear...but when smething has engulfed the world...u cant hide from it..u have to work with or around it..and ppl have their own ways of doing this...

but we shud never forget that muslims shud be as 'normal' and appear as normal as others to others....

as long as we are viewed as outcasts..we will be labeled terrorists and everything else under the sun...

anyway..ive said enuf to possibly be labeled a heretic...

someone pull out the 'adab stick'...

Just try ur best to avoid what you can to your ability. Just my 2 cents.

remember the times the sahabi's walked past music and put their hands in the ears,
remember the teachings of the prophet sallallahi alaihi wasallaam when he said the believers should keep the gaze down, second look is haram.
remember the teachings that ad-dunya sijnul mu'min so glad tiding to the strangers.

be a stranger, yeah most thing in this corruption infested dunya is haram, we holding onto our emaan is like holding onto burning coal, walking around we gotta be careful of stepping on all the millions of thorns.

so you hear music underground or in shops?! walk out asap or cover your ears (i normally do), you hear music on the news? mute it till the important stuff comes (i normally do).

and remember, movies etc is voluntary not necessary <--- the biggest factor, its entertainment, the ascetic wouldnt go there but then again not everyone has to be an ascetic.


may Allaah guide everyone
