Why should we make an effort to understand nasheeds? We should instead make a good effort to understand qur'an - that is guidance for us all

^Good work Fight bro! What I find really amusing it that all muslims know that we should follow the prophets example.. Well the prophet did not listen to music nor encourage it.. then people still dont understand what following the prophet's example means..

Greetings,


I think what you meant to say was "Let's look at this from a totally biased and uninformed point of view."



Can you categorically state that all pop or rock songs contain lyrics matching this description?



What gives you the crackpot idea that all musicians are like Gary Glitter?

Peace

Ive listened to a lot of music and from a personal point of view, i have come to the judgement that a lot of the songs are based on the description i gave. However i acknowledge that there are artists out there who deal with real life issues.
Also i wasn't saying all musicians are like Gary Glitter. I have to admit that most musicians are good people who do a lot of good in this world. I was trying to make the point that we cant trust what these people are saying as they are strangers, and we have no idea how they live their lives.
 
o bro ur a star :)

thanks eva so much

take care

Calm down guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anything is used for the benefit of Islam and as a means of dawah, surely it becomes islamic???????
Talking to Hassen Rasool on the topic, he was of the opinion that music can be used minimally and as long as it does not divert attention from the message of a nasheed.
What if music was used as a means of dawah, used minimally to get the message of Islam to non Muslims.

Interesting. So before the internet were computers considered unIslamic because of the kaffir association?

Muslim in Andalusia deveopled Mathematics whivh they borrowed from the Egyptians.
They made progress in the field of architecture, which they borrowed from the [Persians.
They also contributed a lot to Greek philosophy, in taking and revising WEstern ideas.
This was at the peak of Islamic rule.

Is it possible therfore for Muslims to take certain aspects of Western culture today and develop it.
For instance, with regards to music, i feel Islamic artisits should enter the charts with no music playing and the emphasis purely on the message of the song and the melody and tone of the singers voice. If it catches on, maybe in the future western artists will stop the use of mussic and do the same.

I see this as no different as Muslims contributions to Greek philosohy, based on a questioning of God. Yet Muslims played an important part in the study of Greek pohilosophy and translating it for future Western generations.

If something is developed by a non Muslim this does not make it haraam. What makes it haraam is whather Allah has permitted it or not. With somethink like the use of computers (not spcifically mentioned inQuran) we need to use the good it has but not indulge in what bad it has to offer.

At the height of Islamic civilisayion, Muslims borrowed from Greek philosophy, persian architecture and egyptain Mathematics.

So it's OK to imitate the kuffar if the kuffar are doing something good? It seems a bit more absolutist than that when some people say it.

By the way, I'm really not surprised computers weren't mentioned in the Qur'an!

On the point you mention about ancient Greek philosophy, you're quite right; if it weren't for the Muslims we would know nothing about it.

Peace

Sorry, I don't understand.. why are you talking about who invented what? What has that got to do with whether music is haram or not?

Brother, if in this day and age music could be sold based on a singers talent only, trust me so many artists wouldn't be flaunting their bodies or other peoples in their performances and videos. And what you say about islamic artists singing without music, then that wouldnt be music at all would it? They are having enough trouble as it is singing nasheeds without music. Honestly stop living in a fantasy world. Western singers will never follow any such thing. If betting wasn't haraam, I'd have bet you a million dollars on it.

I am very curious to know if Mr Hassen Rasool accept or give Fatwa to take liquor or drugs that will not divert my attention from my prayer.

Will he be able to tell us what is the minimum or maximum limit of Music that is accepted?

Does it mean he agrees that what is forbidden by “Allah” (SWT) and “Rasoolullah” (SWS) in Islam can be minimally used without diverting the meaning of Islam?

Wasalaam

What if music was used as a means of dawah, used minimally to get the message of Islam to non Muslims.

How do you define what is minimum? You can't. One instrument can cause more diversion than three. So on what basis did Hassan Rasool come to that conclusion? It doesnt make sense.
Music as means for dawah? Yes sure.. the prophet (saw) and sahaba went round beating drums & playing flutes to preach the word of God..:rollseyes when will people learn.. when will they learn...? :offended:
 
U people are going off the point... What evidence is there in the Qur'an and the Hadith that Music is Haraam.. ?:?
