Yes you failed to elucidate why that is bizarre? Many non-Muslim singers and actors refuse to see their work for completely different reasons all together, it has nothing to do with her being Muslim. I have written poetry and prose since I was a kid and don't like to read them after I'd written them!

I don't know, I don't like listening to rap or people sing in general. There are people who do nasheeds/chants however and even those I don't generally have an ear for. Perhaps someone else can answer that one for you.

After I am completely done including editing I don't want to read it again, I get really sick of it. It is like listening to the same song over and over, say the barney song, albeit an annoying one but just as an example if you keep hearing it and hearing it, will absolutely drive you nuts.
Sob7an Allah the only book i can read and listen to repeatedly is the Noble Quran.. in fact it is the only thing in the world that gives me comfort!

I was wondering the same thing.
I had assumed that singing/rapping in itself was NOT haram - only the use of certain instruments is (Oh, I should have read those many threads on music in Islam more carefully ...)
Would she still be permitted to rap? A good pro-Palestine rap might be nice, for example. Or one on wearing hijab.
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.

Re: It annoys them??.....when a popstar wears a hijab
she said in so many words that she was unhappy in her old life and tried several times to commit suicide before she converted. What's wrong with someone wanting to give up an old chapter in their life and starting a new one?
Which is by the way what the French are trying to force her to do go back to work that is and take off her hijab so she won't be a 'bad role model' for kids and when that didn't work they questioned her state of mind.
They're some of the nastiest bigots I have encountered. Militant secularism!

Nothing wrong at all. She sounds like a much more grounded and fulfilled person than she was before.
I was just wondering if she was still PERMITTED to rap - if she chose to continue using her voice for singing now she has converted to Islam.
