as salaamu alykum
brother i used to be one of the biggest hip hop fans ever
one day when i found out music is haram i stopped listening to it
it was very easy to avoid music at first but the songs ringing bak in my head and tht was very hard to get rid off
but alhamdulilah i did although most of the song lyrics still ring in my head, i try my best to be the best i can as a muslim
and i found out so far tht there r 2 ways u can stop doing bad things
1.the persuasive method: u can persuade urself to stop listening to music
2.the scary method:u can read the hadiths n stuff tht say the punishment for those who listen to music while neglecting the duty of Allah
for me the thing tht stopped my music listening spree was the persuasive method but later on when i got tempted to listen to music i had to use the second method cuz it was the only way to convince me to stop listening to music
okay now dont think im loonie or something just cuz i convince myself by scaring myself on purpose:p
heres wht u shud do
recite the quran everytime ur music temptation comes
then recite it again loudly so u can hear ur own recitation very clearly
then after tht go to this site
http://english.islamway.com/bindex.p...&recitor_id=17
or this site
http://english.islamway.com/bindex.p...&recitor_id=28
and listen to those 2 dudes recite the quran
when i first listened to Sheik Su'ud Shuraim (the first link)
i almost cried, u cud see tears in my eyes u know
neways try ur best to listen to the quran n go online n read books about the harms n danger of music
tht is the best i can help
thanx for takin the time to read all this
peace be upon u
ps.
u can try to make one of the links above ur home page cuz if its ur home page then it might help u more
