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

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 dont really know lol, but it is an established fact that music is haraam in islaam, a minority with very weak misinterpreted views would say otherwise.

Is there actually any research behind these claims?
 
you mean is there any research on the fact that the daff dosn't create any hype/adrenaline, or evidence from the quran and sunnah that the daff is acceptable. :?

@ brother qassy! its really good that you are learning, but i do advise that you learn, step by step.

Second: One must apply gentleness and proceed in a slow and calm manner in his search for knowledge. This is since the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) informed us, in general terms, saying: “Verily, Allaah loves gentleness in every affair.” Seeking knowledge falls under this in the general sense. The Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) also said: “Gentleness does not enter something except that it beautifies it.” Knowledge and studying fall under this.

What does it mean to “apply gentleness?” It means that one should not seek to achieve knowledge all at once, as Ibn Shihaab Az-Zuhree, the famous Imaam from the Taabi’een, once said: “Whoever seeks to attain knowledge in one shot, it will leave from him in one shot. Rather, knowledge is to be sought with the passage of days and nights.”
