The fitnah of television

[Al-Mu'min]

Peace.

It depends on what you watch. There are a lot of educational islamic programs out there now. Watching news to be informed is also good. Watching cartoons is good way for kids to cool down from running around and driving us crazy (although I must admit I'm a fan of the Simpsons Futurama, and Family Guy myself).

The sister however, was referring to was uncontrolled T.V which is not good for both Non Muslims and Muslims aswell. Watching half nude people leads to bigger stuff aswell.

Peace out.

Are all of the kuffar Satanists?
No ofcourse not, but the values shown when watching such dirty scenes are that of Satan, we believe Satan misguides us as he vowed to do when he was banished from the heavens, therfore his vaules are those which are portrayed when watching such programs...
Why do Muslims do this if it is so contrary to Islamic values? Why not just choose not to watch kuffar television if it is offensive to you?
This article is addressing the situation, and InshAllah us Muslims will take heed and refrain from watching such things
Can you run that one by me again? How does watching sport instil anti-Islamic values?
Also, where does the idea come from that sport is specifically broadcast to antagonise Muslims? Isn't that a bit paranoid?
Erm run that by you one more time, re-read the text as presented above InshAllah [God-willing]
Erm maybe paranoia, Allah knows best, but wasting time on such things without the rememberance of Allah hardens the heart and the ones with the hardest heart are the furthest from thy Lord...
I find the idea that children know anything about politicians hilarious, I have to say.
Stop laughing!...this is not a laughing matter hehe, nah really, all depends on your interests i guess, one may be mature at the age of 10 the other in comparison still loves batman *eyes rolly*
Can you name one violinist who you know has a satanic agenda?!
I have no interest in listening to music therfore i do not know of this, however music in itself is prohobited and bringing it to children is not seen as something very welcoming...
How about creating programmes for broadcast that promote Islamic values and watching those instead?

Just a suggestion....Alhamdiullah there are dearest brother in humanity, Islam channel for instance ...there are a few bad issues which have been raised but InshAllah them people take heed and polish up Peace! x

 

[Inshallah]

It really depends on what your watching, if your wathing things you shouldn't be than it's haram. I watch the news network, weather network, sports channel and sometimes the animal network. I find that the news and weather channel is very important you have to know whats going on in the world a long with your local weather.

forget political correctness ..all those who deviate from the right path are in one form or another following the path of satan..go figure..

Why do Muslims do this if it is so contrary to Islamic values? Why not just choose not to watch kuffar television if it is offensive to you?

thats exactly what he/she is trying to say..

Can you run that one by me again? How does watching sport instil anti-Islamic values?

it doesnt..it wastes time that would've been otherwise well spent devoting one self to the Almighty.. such neglect leads to... (read the original thread)

I find the idea that children know anything about politicians hilarious, I have to say.

on the contrary.. they wont grow up as ignorant as our generation..heck they might prevent future blunders such as the Bush's in the white house (capital of the world)

This is even funnier. True, there are some musicians who are Satanists (heavy metal bands such as Deicide, the Beasts of Satan etc.), but there are millions who aren't!

and those millions who arent..what kind of messages do they pass on to their listeners? thought so..

Can you name one violinist who you know has a satanic agenda?!

I can name three (ok so I dont know any violinists..but for arguments sake allow me these three, I know im not off the mark)

How about creating programmes for broadcast that promote Islamic values and watching those instead?

good idea.. we already have those..
might wanna look up a few things before you type..
Just a suggestion.

sorry im bored..

Greetings Hawa,

That's your belief, of course. Many people - perhaps most - don't even believe Satan exists.

thats exactly what he/she is trying to say..

So why does this problem exist then?

it doesnt..it wastes time that would've been otherwise well spent devoting one self to the Almighty.. such neglect leads to... (read the original thread)

Always?

If what you say is true, then there's hardly anything outside of the Qur'an, Sunnah and Five Pillars that isn't anti-Islamic.

on the contrary.. they wont grow up as ignorant as our generation..heck they might prevent future blunders such as the Bush's in the white house (capital of the world)

That would be pleasant, wouldn't it.

and those millions who arent..what kind of messages do they pass on to their listeners? thought so..

All sorts of messages. True, there are lots of songs about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, but there are many songs that protest against those things. There are religious songs praising god, and there are heavy metal songs praising Satan. Then there's music that expresses something that cannot be expressed in words: classical, jazz and other instrumental music. The point is this: to assume that you know what messages have been sent out by every musician who's ever lived and that those messages are necessarily all bad is a move of breathtaking arrogance.

I can name three (ok so I dont know any violinists..but for arguments sake allow me these three, I know im not off the mark)

What do you know? What makes you think that violinists are evil?

good idea.. we already have those..
might wanna look up a few things before you type..
Just a suggestion.

I know. So why don't Muslims watch those instead of moaning about the culture of others, which, for some reason, they can't seem to help themselves from watching?

sorry im bored..

What quality of argument do you produce when you're paying attention?!

Peace

How about creating programmes for broadcast that promote Islamic values and watching those instead?

There's at least one "Islamic" channel available on satellite and cable in the UK, so I don't see how television in itself could be haraam. Televised soccer is very popular in most Islamic countries, and cricket in the countries where it is played, so that would seem OK, too.

Other than that, its just a case of choosing what you watch, I guess. Somebody was talking about naked men and women.. I wouldn't have thought it was THAT difficult to avoid them. The History Channel? Discovery? Disney? National Geographic? And so on. As to music, watch Kerrang and you may well see something you don't like; watch Classic FM TV and you are probably pretty safe from anything "satanic".

Why not respond to the whole message, instead of the part that was put there specifically just to grab you?

Some Muslims spend a lot of time decrying kuffar culture, yet at the same time it seems they can't get enough of it...

Greetings Abd'Majid,

Im sry, what is it we cant get enough of :?

I quote from post #1 of this thread:

The western values and the values of the kuffar are invited daily into Muslim homes. These values (via television) are being invited by us Muslims and not by the kuffar. We have an option of refusing to watch these satanic values. We, as Muslims spend hours watching television and neglect our basic duties to our Creator (S.W.T). We choose to watch television in preference to our obligatory duties like Salaah. We also choose to spend hours watching things that do not benefit us and also makes us unmindful of Allah (S.W.T) and we become reluctant to listen and participate in Islamic activities.

Peace

lol can you tell I didnt read the whole thing..

your speculating..
in any case whether we cant get enough of it or not isnt of any concern to you.. this bro/sis has given us advice that is useful not only to muslims but to argumentative atheists too..
so once again take it or leave it..its up to you..
now i'll stop 'arguing' or whatever it is we're doing (seems to me we're agreeing on more than one thing, so lets be smart about it and quit while we're ahead)

Yeah - it's benefits are way less than all the negative sides of it that it isn't worth watching. Plus u just get brainwashed by the media and don't have an open mind anymore if u watch T.V.

 

[Muezzin]

Where are the articles about the fitnah of the Internet, I wonder.

 

[x Maz x]

Yes but coming on this site Alhamdilullah speaks for itself ...better sitting around in chatrooms and Msn eh? WalaykumAsalaam x
