Musicc!!!

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Ibn al Qayyim Rahimahullah said: “It is difficult to abandon a habit or something that you like, if you do not do it for Allah’s sake. Likewise, if he leaves that habit or something he likes for Allah’s sake, it will not be difficult. It will only be difficult in the very beginning. He will be tested if he will continue or not and if he is sincere in seeking Allah’s pleasure or not. So if he proves to be steadfast in leaving the bad habit and bears this difficulty in the very beginning the whole thing will become easy for him.”

Wow SubhanAllah....sounds like me! Completely. Remember in the other thread sis I mentioned what I did. I was like you.

I gave up all types of music all together for a couple of months after Ramadhan, but I fell back into again, some time later. I started by quitting western music. I was still stuck on the part with the instruments, so I would still listen to nasheeds that had instruments. And at the same time I would play the Qur'an alllllllllll dayyy. The whole Qur'an not just verses. I was basically on and off with it. just like recently I was trying to quit music again and MashaAllah, it was a lot easier now than when I used to try. Probably because I had struggled with it before. So I was sitting one day and i thought to myself that I know its wrong and I'd have to give it up sooner or later, so why not now? And cause Allah doesn't like this act and I would rather please Him than me or anyone else. I definitely don't want to please shaytaan. So I started by deleting every useless piece of music that i have on my computer and ipod. Then I filled it with nasheeds and lectures and the Qur'an.

Some people tell me not to be so extreme, but I know I'm not cause I'm doing it for Allah Ta'ala InshaAllah. It's hard to avoid music when you have people around you who listen. But other than that, I'm doin better. Soooooooooo sis, you just need to remind yourself who your doing it for and why. None of this world is going with us but our deeds, InshaAllah mostly good ones. So it'll be hard but InshaAllah you'll pull through. The quote the brother posted, is perfect. It really somes it up

:salamext:

Sis u have to have it strong and deep fixed in your heart that 'I want to stop listening to Music'. Allaah will Guide you inshaaAllaah.

You may slip and fall from time to time and go back to listen to it, but then you just have to get up again and brush the dirt off yourself.

It is hard though, for a person to stop when they have been listening to it all the time.

Khayr inshaaAllaah, just try your best.

I was just like you Sis , I listened to rap , hiphop music all the time and was like a normal "modern'' muslim, just a couple of months ago I didnt like them anymore, I Stopped with that kind of music and listened to nasheeds Or something like that pure (never knew that music was haram then)I didnt know why I Stopped listening to music , but now I understand It, It was Allah's Guidance ,Alhamdullah and at that time my imaan/Faith grew spontaneously ( Learned a new Word) Fast, I didnt know why , It was Like my true self was born and I knew there was something strange with me,Before the time my Imaan/Faith grew ALL the people I knew Where going to parties( they invited me many times) and doing sinfull things but there was some Thing/feeling in me wich forbade me to do such things and thats why I never did what they did and I didnt know why, I didnt notice but when my Faith grew and I practised Islam and then everything went automaticaly I understanded everything , I started Praying ( I am the only brother who is Praying 5 times a day in my hood and there is a lots of muslims brothers here), Watching Lectures for hours , Reading/Learning The Qu'ran and I learned what haram or halal was ( Also learned that music Haram was) etc. And even learned More then my Dear Mother (Who always prayed five times a day alhamdullah but didnt learned me much only how to fast and the movements for prayer and that kind of things ), in This couple of months I learned everything alone And now my Faith is not as high as before but it is enough to keep me at the right pad.

It was Allah who saved me ALHAMDULLAH , If He didnt I might went astray and do all the sinfull things and you guys might have never know me
Inshallah All of you will Have the guidance an Do the right things And Inshallah All of you will earn HIS Mercy and HIS Jannah.


PS. SORRY FOR MY BORING LONG LIFESTORY BUT I COULDNT STOP MY SELF TO WRITE IT

haha lool its ok its interesting reading peopels life stories....well the short ones like urs not the two page long ones like my teachers. lol

mashallah brother
see am learning tons of things. i kno more about haram and halal and stories and hadiths about he prophets and all that much more than any one in my family.......but the music thing is like the only thing i cant stop. the only thing....
jazakallah khair brother u juss made me feel so much better :statisfie

^ are you asking why music is harmful?

eh...no...sortta....kinda..yeh...no but ye- noooo im not...god i hate it when peope get me stuck like dis... :-[

LOL Trust me, what you read in school is nothing compared to what you can read outside the schoolbuilding. You should try it more often.



OK.


Are you often bored?



Basketball is cool. I play too.



I'm gonna tell you a secret.. There are more pages after the front-page! *gasp* lol Newspaper's great! You try to read it more often! Or read magazines of all kinds, they surely cannot be boring!



And the problem is? You say you don't feel regret for not feeling that music is haram, but still you create threads like these. I think you do slightly believe they are haram.. You just can't allow yourself to admit that, 'cause you enjoy it so much and cannot understand how something so enjoyable can do harm?

But then again, I could be wrong. If you really don't think/feel it is haram, why continue to bother? I'm sorry if you feel like you're repating yourself, but please do it for me!



That's so weird, but there are those who say the same, so I'm just gonna say OK.

lol i swear at the newspaper joke i was laughing so hard and my brother was tellin me a joke and he htought i was laughin at him! Loool :rollseyes

no sis. i wanna understand more things. i wanna learn more about islam and haram things. i want my faith to be like it was 6 monthes ago.

I think that's just psychological.

is that a bad thing :?

Erm not really, it just means that you think it makes you concentrate harder, but infact it doesn't, and when you try to concentrate without music on you are thinking & telling yourself:

Man music will make me concentrate way harder than this! Switch it on *talking to self*, I said; switch the bloody music on! :raging:

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

and it lets me concentrate during school. i swear, i cant really think without music on during homework or something. my mom says i cant concentrate wit it on lol.silly mum.

Oye, that's totally like me sis. I used to do my homework and study with music on. Occasionally I still feel like that, so I put nasheeds on or the Qur'an. I don't think it's so much with music. I need noise when I'm studying or doing homework. As long as someone isn't talking to me directly, or involves me answering, then it doesn't bother me. I will get distracted if I have to stop and answer. Especially if I'm in the process of thinking hard lol. I get bored and sleepy if it's quiet =/

P.S Don't miss my post lol

I dont know how anyone can concentrate with music on. It is like reading a book and trying to write something else at the same time. Well for me.

I guess different people are different in their understanding of music.

salaam ma alaykam sister

at first i thought if i gave up music, my life would be like upside down lol ( i wanted to be a dj/mc :-[:X)lol

after seein the evidences, and trust their is so much, so no doubt music is haraam, i decided to give up, and it was completely normal, like instead of listenin to music, listen to Quraan seriouslyyy, best way to stop, is to do it all at once, delete all songs from your ipod,computer, or wherever, just delete them, and download quraan, and stick that on your mp3, put some lectures, halaal nasheeds, and there you go, you have given up!

and just do it for Allah (swt) sake, he will reward you with somethin much better then music sister, like you never know, a BMW convertible :shade:
and think about the music you listen too lol, even though i never listened to the hip hop stuff, ive heard some of it like all its about is some man who loves a girl or some man came from the ghetto and everyone hates him lol, how come all of them come from the ghetto pssssh, they chat crap and lies lol, so when you think about your listenin too, you will find it funyy!!so just give it up, it can be hard, but try to be strong, its for the best!!!

Music schmoosic. In Soviet Union, music plays YOU!

 

[barney]

I suppose the first step would be diable the I-Tunes and MP3 Stuff on your computer.
Perhaps make sure that you are listening only to Islamic Radio stations and Islamic TV channels.
Get rid of the MP3 Player. that may be hard, but if its what you want you should follow your true feelings.

That should cut out 80% of music, and as i understand it i read on the forums something similar to the music that you hear as background music and are not desiring to listen to you bear no responsiblity for. It's worth researching.

I dont have any music on my computer...only on youtube...i have an ipod which magically puts music back on it everytime i delete it...and i have a brother who happens to be playing his Zune everyday (and right now) on his xbox 360 and turning the volume up all the way that way our whole two story house plus nieghbors can hear it.

and also i havent even heard of islamic radio stations...pshhhhh...lol
and islamic channels? yeh but i dunt watch much tv, the tv is only useful for news, fresh prince of bel air and xbox360....

 

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Lol wa iyaaki sis

Well why don't u watch lectures instead of going on youtube. Tell your bro to keep it down. Plus its gunna ruin his hearing. and its gunna affect him as he gets older too....

lol
thats coz writing is boring...and reading is boring...mix the two and wat do u get?? (answer: no concentration coz u be sleepin)

Get books on stuff that interest you sis. Like I wont pick up a book unless I have too or if it's something I like. Ill read books if I think itll catch my attention or if its related to Islam or Muslims.
