No worries my dear. ITs a pleasure. A lot of the time ppl forget.. and make Islam appear so legalistic and looses the essence and beauty that comes with it.. Ya Allah
 
Salaam.

'but sometimes when i dance, though no one sees me, feel ashamed of myself'

Why?
 
Maybe coz she knows music is haraam..:? I dunno lol :X

Koran 4:094. Do you desire the gain of earthly life?
Koran 7:169. But best for the righteous is the home in the Hereafter. Will ye not understand?
 
There are some who consider music haram, and there are others that don't. Ivanna, you'll have to study and pray on this, and come to the answer that works best for you, in this life and the next.
Muslim Soldier, the pic in your signature frightens me.
 
My cousin is really religious. She goes to certain weddings but sits down the whole time and does not dance, not once. She does dance with the girls at home sometimes. She prays 5 times a day and reads the Quran.

We sometimes follow our traditions more than our religion. We dance at weddings, we do many things according to our cultural practices. We grow up with that notion that it is alright. So my cousin, she is the one that studied the religion very much and is truly devout. Many of her relatives have put her down for covering so early or not dancing at all at weddings. It is sad.
 
sister Guli7, i dont understand from your msg whether u r with or aginst dancing at home where no men can see you except some of your muslim sisters? i dont get the meaning of your msg.
 
no I don't know if it is absolutely right or wrong to listen to halaal music at home. I don't know. I was just using an example of my cousin and what she does.
 
I know, she is an example I just used. I agree with the idea of not dancing in front of men but I don't know about at home.
 
This is why it's important to seek one's own answers- if you come to an answer that you can live with, then you need not worry what your or anyone else's cousin is up to.

If God didn't forbid it, who is anyone to say he did? Fine if anyone thinks music will cause them forget God and decides to shun it, but in the Qur'an, God never said music is forbidden altogether.

why some scholars say covering woman's face is compolsory and give u prooves and other scholars can proove that nioqab is not obligatory. a woman can uncover her face. this is called diffrence and u choose the thing u want.

You can easily get out of this muddle by looking to what God said in the Quran. Did He say women should dress modestly? Yes. Did He say that women must be covered from head to toe in a flowing veil as is done in Arabia? Never. How can it be obligatory?

what s haram is when woman sings or when the word of the song encouraging haram.

Koran 40:34. Thus does God sends astray him who is extravagant and a doubter.

How many Hadith's did i gave you? Why don't you say that you don't follow Mohammad? Just say that you are a Quranite, who only follows Qur'an. I asked you a few questions, why don't you answer? Wake up man, Islam is not only Qur'an! If Omar ibn Khattab or any other Sahaba lived today, he would surely punish you. So go back to the Sunnah of the Prophet, Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, if you are a Muslim.

Asalamu alaikum ivanna25,

You seem to have a strong iman, alhamdulillah :) and want to do what is best.

I think the best advice I could give you would be to keep praying to Allah(subhana wa ta'ala) to guide you and make things easy for you and to keep you to the straight path. I had a similar problem for a while, when I felt that sooo many things were haram and this got me down, but alhamdulillah, Allah changed my thoughts on this and now I am much happier.

Just keep your faith in Allah(swt) sister and keep reminding yourself that Allah(swt) knows what is best for us. Even though some things may seem harmless in our eyes, Allah(swt) knows everything. Allah(swt) created us and everything that surrounds us and knows His creation. Allah(swt) is the One who gives us knowledge of some things and conceals knowledge of other things.

Even though it seems difficult (or even impossible) that you would be able to give up music, have faith in Allah that he will guide you to what is right. We don't 'need' anything except our faith in Allah, that is enough to keep us happy even though it may not seem like it.

Keep your faith in Allah(swt) sister that He will make this easy for you and keep you happy. Also, I don't know if you have many Muslim friends, but I think it might help you if you could get some more:)

I pray that everything goes well for you sister, and Allah(swt) makes things easy for you, keeps your iman strong and keeps you happy:)

Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu:)
 
Thanks, sis LJ, your words are so nice and convincing. the problem that i dont find that dancing is haram especially because it doesnt stop me to pray on time or to do anything else. i asked this question bc i wanted to get sure, but since some people say it's ok, other people say haram. ill continue like this since i harm nobody and i do it sometimes when im home alone.
 
well, for those who say that music haram, i still wonder how brothers sami yusuf and yusuf islam play music. i know that most of yusuf islam's songs are without music but we can find him sometimes using guitare or sth alike. if it was haram, he would not do it, he is a good Muslim. here is a link in which he sings in a concert using guitare and have duo with paul Macartney. i think being open-minded is the best way to make others who are very corrupt embrace islam. here is the link: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/inhalt/10/0,4070,2304234-5,00.html. just have a look at it, nothing bad will happen to you.
thanks.
 
:sl: dont mind him sister hes NOT a brother or muslim...
 
:sl:

jazakAllah kheir

Rabi'ya:rose:
 
Dancing where no men can see you is halal, aslong as you do not use music, except daff, to my knowledge.
