Hello,

I am learning alot today and im happy that I am learning but abit upset in another way!

Anyway are we allowed to the folllwing:

Watch movies
Listen to music
PLay video games such as xbox 360
browse the internet

Nope.

Music in Islam

thanks again! Anothet thing im going to read god im learning alot

so if where allowed to watch movies, why not music? in simple terms?

I am not sure about movies brother.

jazaa kalah you have helped me out alot god bless you

lol its ok to watch movies if it dont have naked/nasty girls or men on it.

Music is clearly haram, no difference here bro, only a veeery few rare scholars with extremely weak arguments will say otherwise.


but for real, once you give up music and the other haram, movies seem pretty boring lol, i prefer just chilling out these days to movies.


Hmm, i got wrong turn 2 sitting at home, its been sitting there for ages lol


Assalamu Alaikum


oh i think its ok to play games lol if you keep it under control, dont let it disctract u from prayers etc. i play tekken 5 now n then..

Ok ok i mean movies have girls in there? Dressed wrongly but i dont think nothing of it?

No games never take my life away just halo 3/ assassins creed /gta etc etc

lol? chillin out with friends is going to be hard now! because girls get involved

this brings us to another issue lol,


the prophet said that in the day of judgement you will be with those whom you love. Now i want you to think about wether or not your mates are the ones whom you love, if you love em is it for the sake of Allaah? Are these mates people who you reckon will be in comfort on the day of judgement?

The prophet sallallahi alaihi wasallaam said that friends are like the blacksmith or the perfume seller, one of them you can hang around with and you'll come out smelling like smoke, the other one will have you smelling beautiful. The friends you have could be your path to heaven/hell.

Think VERY carefully about what they encourage you to/discourage you from... trust me bro we need good friends...


hope that helped slightly

Assalamu Alaikum

what you watch makes a world of difference...


Movies

Imam Suhaib Webb on Bollywood (click me)


"You have to correct this culture. This Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, Shaytaan..all this nonsense is destroying the Pakistani and Indian youth...wallahi. My wife is from Malaysia, I went to Malaysia and now they have Bollywood in Malay. I was riding on a bus in the mountains through Malaysia and the bus driver is watching a movie and driving a bus at 3 o clock in the morning. This is crazy, man..is this your illah?? Why don't you stand in the night and pray or somethin? You have to fight this culture."

"It (romance novels) creates a mentality in you, like Bollywood....I'm like going to start an anti-Bollywood Jamaat..because I'm telling you, I saw a Bollywood movie on that bus..because the screen was right there, and my wife was hitting me, "why are you watchin this?", "screen is right there man ", she can sleep on the bus, I can't, and I wanted to see it..actually you can't watch it very much..because they don't have much clothes on..these Hindu chicks. So I watch the movie, and I watched this movie and honestly, I have become convinced that this is an agent of Shaytaan. I'm telling you, because it builds this false sense of life in you, man...life is a love story. Life is ibaadah. Love will be with your family, when you get married you will find true love with your wife inshallah."

Truth about Bollywood (click me)


Verily! Hearing, Sight, and the heart, all will be Questioned (by Allah) [al-Israa’ 17:36]


Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.

How do we reconcile those verses with the television that assaults our eyes with Haram almost every second that it is on? How do we reconcile it?





TV Shows

Shaykh At-Tahhaan once told his students, “It was late at night when our phone rang one day. This Muslimah whispered into the phone, ‘Is this Shaykh At-Tahhaan?’ I said, ‘Yes it is me.’ She kept saying is it really you? And he said, ‘Yes, what is wrong?’ At that she just started sobbing and sobbing into the phone. After some time, she explained, ‘The children’s father bought a TV and video 2 days ago. Tonight I found my young son practicing the Haraam that he saw on his younger sister!’ Then she collapsed sobbing again.”

Everything starts with a look, and big fires start from a little spark

IS music really banned in islam? So what about such stars like Sami Yusuf or Cat Stevens etc?

There is a difference between nasheeds (islamic songs) and nasheeds with music in them (like sami yusuf).

Ruling on so-called “Islamic” songs with musical instruments


THE ruling on Islamic nasheeds

when they use forbidden music instruments then they commit acts of sin. Allaah will judge between them.

Forbidden music instruments? Which is for example... ?

scholars agree that the open-ended light sounding drum is permissable as it doesnt create any hype/adrenaline etc. This is known as the "daff", it can also sometimes be the tambourine but there is again a difference on this.


You can find out more on the links bro islamirama posted, Wind and String instruments are definitly haram.... so guitars/flutes and the likes are out of the question !


hope thats a bit more clear

I want to ask, what is the very characteristic instrument that plays major role in typical arabic music, I mean the music that we can listen also in kebab bars
