Salaam everyone
ALHUMDULILAH or however one would spell it
Ive been making a lot of progress in my new religion.
But i do have some questions
1. I dont like to recall times when i would sin against the one God but i cant forget something that happened. Before i converted to Islam about 9 months ago i was visiting at my cousins house for like 2 weeks. One day i went to church with them all ........they were kind of Pentecostal which means they jump around and go crazy and speak in "tongues". Although now i see that practice as very ugly back then it didnt bother me much at all. Anyways ................... i was sitting there listening to them sing about Jesus(may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and this feeling came over me. I dont want to humiliate myself but i broke down hard. The feeling was just so weird and overwhelming that i began to cry very powerfully. I cant explain what happened this day. I was wondering if it could have been a bad Jinn or some type of punishment. I regret this very much ....... but i was just wondering .
2. I have read that music that involves stringed instruments is harram. I have been listening to a lot of nasheed music with just drums and vocals. But there is one problem......... i play 4 instruments! Three of them are stringed and the other is the piano. What do i do? I also have guitar and choir at school. Since i converted the music isnt as important to me as it was but its just been such a large part of my life.
that you
salaam
