I went.. but I didnt like it at all.....:heated:
They had drums on stage and the musical instruments were excessive.. sorry, i meant they were EXCESSIVE..:heated:
*GIRLS SCREAMING
*SAMI YUSUF RECEIVING ROSES
*PEOPLE CLAPPING AND WHISTLING
*ROCK BAND STYLE MUSIC
*A MAN ON THE DRUMS - WHO DOES A SOLO WITH JUST THE DRUMS - THEN SAYS 'THIS IS FOR ALLAH, TAKBEER' - HOW DISGRACEFUL
*MEN WOMEN MIXED
I mentioned a few things to a few shaykhs - they all couldnt understand why i went in the first place, but since i did, [atleast ive learnt from it lol] - they go some of the things would fall under blasphemy - e.g. the drum thing above

ffended:
zain bhikha doesnt use heavy drums in his nasheeds, his voice free album is great, and in his songs he sang on the day e.g. our world, orphan child, mountains of makkah - he used heavy drums and ruined it - it didnt even sound right.
Im not going again thats for sure.. and i wouldnt recommend it for anyone either...:X
and im going to send my view across to islamic relief as to how most of it was like a pop concert - and yes it was to raise money for children across the globe, but if thats the case then not to use the name of Islam before anything else.. believe me, it was not islamic.. the only difference between this and a 'girls aloud' concert was half the girls in this concert were wearing hijaab, half without, a few men had shalwar kameez on, most people were asian skinned, and well, yep, the singers and the presenters are muslim.:hiding:
