I went to a party and they had music and dancing. They were all hijabis and I was actually quite shocked at how loud the music was and how everyone except me was dancing and enjoying it. Usually when there is music being played at a shopping centre or similar I dont notice the music-I can sort of switch off from the music if u like. But here it was too loud to even hear myself think so I didnt stay longer than I had to. But why is it that I am the only person I know who avoids music and believes it is haram? I am surrounded by practising muslims who are very religious but when it comes to music its all out the window!
Does anyone else find this?
Re: Loud eardrum bursting music and dancing at hijabi girls parties?
Well, there is debate about whether or not music is haram. From what I've come across it all comes down to content. So if they were dancing to Keisha or Eminem I can see the problem. Were they all girls? Because I was under the impression it was okay to dance as long as it's just around girls.
As for the music being too loud to think, sorry about that. I've got sensitive ears too

It's definitely this type of environment that invites fitna, who knows next they may invite a couple of 'brothers'

Re: Loud eardrum bursting music and dancing at hijabi girls parties?
They prob didnt see the harm in it, and no your not the only one..some people are a bit more laid back with certain things. Educate them sis, maybe they dont know ?
Re: Loud eardrum bursting music and dancing at hijabi girls parties?
Difference of opinion. They're allowed to disagree with you on things like this... Music is not a clear cut issue. If the content of the music is really bad, then you could try requesting (in private) that they change it...
But please try not to become the religious police...

Yeah, I know what it feels like *sighs*…I've gone thru this too, altho my friends didn't do proper hijab.
Such a thing coming from practicing Muslim girls is really sad. Though there are differences of opinion in this regard, one should always stay on the safe side. Music is something that could lead one to sin more, like in such parties were there is loud music, it would be difficult to hear the Azan, or even realize that it's time for prayer. One is at the risk of missing an obligation which would amount to sin.

It's out of question for those who know! Haha In fact the songs, especially "bollywood" songs promote stuff like love, relationships (those between unmarried couples) etc and the funny part is that these songs go to such an extent in promoting such things that some of their wordings contain Shirk…like "Tera Sajdah" (In this particular song, the guy goes about telling the girl that he loves her so much that he could prostrate in front of her day and night). It's simply pathetic.
And "Sheila ki Jawani" kinda songs are like porn…any sane person listening to it, and other such songs would just go mad wondering how foolish people can get.
The basic fact is that it's all corruption and from the works of Shaytan.

It's pretty much the same...or i guess even worse.
Yeah, dancing and singing amongst girls is fine but they should maintain some kinda decency and not act like drunk hooligans.
Re: Loud eardrum bursting music and dancing at hijabi girls parties?
Bollywood songs are terrible in my opinion, they delude impressionable young girls into living a real life bollywood love stories.
I've noticed that people, after listening to these type of songs want to immitate what they've seen/heard on the screen, and the majority of the time, what they've heard/seen isn't halal.
There was 1 girl in my college, and she had a BF and she would all ways relate her life back to bollywood lol, whenever something would happen between her and her bf, she would go, " we're like sharukh and kajol in such a such movie"
and my male friends would use the lines from these bollywood movies on girls, and the girls would fall for the lines. Aferwards my friends would laugh at their stupidity for beliving a word they said.
All in all I think bollywood is a very bad influence, especially on young people, they put a desire in people to achieve a certain thing, mainly a real life romance similar to the one seen on the screen.
Is it even halal to watch these movies where non mehrams are acting out haraam scenarios with each other? and women walking around uncovered as well as men exposing their bodies.
then what about listening to the filthy music that they create from these movies with lines such as, "I love you more than my god"
@ the OP, I think in modern times the hijaab or beard are no longer a sign of piety, it's quite possible that people who adorn themselves in the muslim dress code do not possesse the piety that their dress promotes.
So I don't expect much in terms of piety from a girl in hijaab or a guy with a beard, I take everyone as an individual now. Hijaab or beard are no guarantee for a good righteous person even though we equate the two with a good righteous person.

Okay there is a difference of opinion but nobody can deny that if the content is innappropriate then its not allowed. I dont think there is a difference of opinion on the content is there?

Sharukh Khan and Kajol ?. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was the most popular Bollywood movie in Indonesia, even its theme song was more popular than Titanic theme song.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was the first Bollywood movie I saw in entirety.
And I watched it three times
But that's because I have the DVD, and I had to watch it again with some friends.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was such a guilty pleasure, it's so over the top (just like any other bollywood movies I guess) that I kept bursting into laughter throughout the movie. It was an eye opener for me of this Bollywood genre.
Re: Loud eardrum bursting music and dancing at hijabi girls parties?
subhan allah inspite of learning eman, taqwa, shyness...we are seeing indian movies....full of shameless scenes by the most shameless ppl of the world...
one of the sign of time of qiyamat, there will be songs and dance in every home.
in one more hadith, every religion has some base and the base of islam is shyness.
eman has 72 branches and shyness is one important of them.
Allah swt make us among those who love HIm and Prophet PBUH and avoid the things that are not allowed by them. ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee een

And probably better. I hated Titanic and everything associated with it.
