salaam

i havent really seen that program but i have heard bad comments about it. programs like
1.simpsons
2.futurama
3.family guy and so on....well i just dont watch them.
 
:sl:

All of these shows go against the ettiqute of a muslim. They promote vulagarity, profanity, disrespect to elders parents etc, and they twist the mind of the Muslim to liking what is haram and hating what is halal. It is better that a muslim doesnt watch these shows, and spends his time doing something more beneficial. After all, these shows waste time, are not beneficial, and promote what is haram in our religion.

:w:
 
Masha-Allah, couldn't have said it better myself akhee. South Park is perhaps one of the most vile things showing on television. May Allah guide the makers of the show and those who watch it, ameen.
:w:
 
If they show Mohammed on Wednesday (They promised to do it) would the muslims here be offended?

one of the most stupid questions I ever saw in these forums.

HMmm... really? Why?

Because they are very critical of what is going on in society. It has relevance and is not simply mindless humor. It is first-class comedy exactly because it manages to discuss real political and social issues.

I understand Muslims wouldn't like it. Muslims are slightly obsessed with unity, and South Park is exactly the kind of show that criticizes and bashes everyone and highlights differences of opinion. Even attacking those things that many consider sacred.
 
Hah! First class comedy? More like vile filth! But if that's what you think, feel free to keep watching. I think Ahmed said it all, and so did HeiGou before it got deleted.
 
South Park is indeed great comedy, good satire. Among the best to be found on television today. I watch every episode and take it for what it is, entertainment with a message.

An entertainment that ridicules Allah and his Messenger?:

Surah Tawbah:
64. The hypocrites fear lest a Sûrah (chapter of the Qur'ân) should be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: "(Go ahead and) mock! But certainly Allâh will bring to light all that you fear."

65. If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was it at Allâh, and His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger that you were mocking?"

An entertainment that destroys family values? An entertainment that destroys all Islamic values? What type of an entertainment is this?

Surah Najm:

56. This (Muhammad ) is a warner (Messenger) of the (series of) warners (Messengers) of old .

57. The Day of Resurrection draws near,

58. None besides Allâh can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it).

59. Do you then wonder at this recital (the Qur'ân)?

60. And you laugh at it and weep not,

61. Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.).

62. So fall you down in prostration to Allâh, and worship Him (Alone).

Al-Anam: 32. And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are Al­Muttaqûn. Will you not then understand?

Well, not every single action has to count towards one's good deed/bad deed quota. I'm not fond of the Foul Four either, but I do plenty of things that rank neutral on the scale- taking walks, talking to relatives or friends, leafing through cookbooks and the like. That said, I've seen South Park, and they often bring up important issues underneath the snarkiness and profanity.

I don't think the Prophet or Allah was ridiculed.

How does a cartoon destroy anything, much less something abstract like "moral values?"

bro u need a serious check, cartoons hav hidden messages left rite n center! take family guy/simpsons/futurama etc, they only teach bad things and confuse the made. So many are just pure non-sensical. They are focused at the early ages therefore slightly contributing to any rubbish values/morals a new generation may have!

we shudnt waste our time wiv such idle matters, it definitly distracts us from Allah swt!

Read my post. Constant exposure to something profane will make you profane, albeit overtime. Simple as that. A muslims moral values are defined by what the Prophet Muhammad told 1400 years ago.

Consider this scenario:
A person has a choice of living with someone that curses whenever something bad happens, or someone that says 'Alhamdulilah' in those situations. Tell me what do you think will happen to that person in those two different situations, albeit overtime?

I will make it easy for you. If the person lived witht he profane guy, he will, whether he likes it or not pick up the habit of swearing, and the same rule applies in the other situation, where he will pick up the habit of saying 'Alhamdulilah'.

I'd like to add that there is I think a hadith to that effect saying that you should stay with those that are good in character...If anyone has the references, please feel free to post.

I don't think children should watch these cartoons, but adults can.

Morality is going to be set by your parents and those around you as you grow up. If you have bad parents who let you watch things like this as a little kid, then you may have problems. Otherwise, I don't buy it.

South Park is not focused at children. Neither is Family Guy.
 
any muslim who watches that program must be seriosuly be lacking brain cells , i din't find it funny that the fact god was portrayed as half rabbit half frog looking thing astaqfurallah any muslim who dint even consider that seriously wrong is defently on the kuffar way of thinking , just remember allah is watching you!!!!!!!!
 
Just because these programmes are animated does not mean they are targeted at children.

That doesn't excuse some of the more objectionable material, but it is something to bear in mind before dropping the 'H Bomb' (HARAAAM!!!!11One) :)
