does any1 watch tv??? tv is always turned on in my house and music is a major part of every tv show even the news so does that mean that no1 should watch tv ??

aoa wr wb!
well...you're absolutely right...plus even if you turn on the tv for like listening to news or some other reason...you'll have those ads coming in...which are not worth watching...comes under 'fahashi'...
Personally, I got bit busy with studies, and for a few other reasons, I couldn't get time to watch tv at all...and I don't know but for a number of reason I personally felt, watching tv is kinda wrong...i dunno if I'm correct about that, yet a number of reasons did convince me...So well, since for those few days zi couldnt watch...and then after some time, when I did have a bit time...like while I'm having my lunch etc, I thought of turning on the tv. But then I said to myself, all these days I didnt watch it, and it was perfectly ok, so what's the need for me to go and turn it on...and do something wrong when I feel it isn't correct...(it's just a few months back this happened...) Even though I ain't fond of tv, may be due to my busy routine, yet when the tv is on when other family members are watching, ofc it attracts atttention, and makes me go sit in front of that...! Anyway, I personally planned I'd stay away and I have many other things to do...why waste time on tv

but yeah that music thing is correct....that's how they're trying to attack muslims... and we're actually falling in their traps...

There's some hadith I read once, that a day will come when there'll be women dancing in every house..and my mom tells me that as a child she wondered, that how's it possible...it wont be allowed in our house...etc and now she understands...it did actually happen..in the form of tv...almost every house has a tv, and even if you dont listen to songs etc, normal tv shows and ads will have them...

dear sister,
Allah says in the quran in 29:69
"as for those who strive hard in Our cause we will surely guide them to Our path and verily Allah is with the muhsinun"
in this verse, it is being reassured that Allah does not leave alone those who strive in His cause sincerely, even at the risk of a conflict with the entire world, but He helps and guides them and opens for them ways towards Himself. He teaches them at every step the way of winning His approval and good-will and He shows them the light at every turning point to discriminate between the Right Way and the wrong ways of life.

by not watching tv ur will be tryin to attain the pleasure and acceptance of Allah for which you will get a great reward. and what reward can be greater than paradise ?
may ALLAH help u and all those striving in His cause.. ameen

i dun remember the hadith's refrence but i remeber reading it in a book of hadith on signs of judegment day that

"there will come a time when fitnah will be poured down from the sky and it will even reach the deserts (an people will catch it for watching it)"
and a girl in my class told me some hadith which had a word antenna in arabic and it referred to fitnah .... she said that this hadith was also about TV

yes you r correct Nibz ...we should be very serious 2 dictate things as Haram n Halal
But now lets actually sit n analyse n understand what the word HARAM implies n means in Islam:
The most authentic definition is this :
Haraam is that for which the one who does it will be punished and the one who abstains from it will be rewarded, if the reason for his abstinence is following the prohibition of Allaah. They can be direct or implied commands of Allah and His Messenger.
The halaal is that in which there is no sin in doing it and no sin in not doing it, but if a person intends to enhance his obedience to Allaah by doing it, then he will be rewarded for this intention..

According to many Ayyat of the Gloriious Quran music has been condemned:
LikeAllah says in Surah Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):
“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]
The scholar of the ummah, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: this means singing. Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafseer al-Tabari, 21/40).
Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this aayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/451)
Who better are those in dictating the Halal n Haram than the Sahabah n the pious predecessors who have lived with the Prophet , understood the Qurans meaning n interpretation under his guidance......the one who never spoke of his own desires rather inspired by God! ( see Al Quran chp 53 v 3-4)
N the narrator Ibn Abbas is the young Sahabi for whom the Messenger prayed the following:" OAllah bless him with the understanding of the Deen." And he was one of the best interprettors of the Quran.......So who better!!
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “[Allaah said to Iblees:] And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allaah’s disobedience)…” [al-Israa’ 17:64]


From the Hadith evidences r as follows:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:“Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91).
In this noble Hadith of the Prophet says musical instruments will be made Halal permissible...Now this would oly be possible if it was Haram (forbidden) in the 1st place. And if we analyse the list given in the hadith all of them have been directly or indirectly prohibitted by Allah.....

the only exception is the permissibility of the daff.......All wind and string instruments are prohibitted ........
However one can sing n listen to songs not havin music n those havin a decent meanin......(the songs today r so pathetic...so in most scholars opinion they are haram due to their content only )

hope dat helps........So why dont we give up music ....U know Allah will reward us due to stoppin our urges n desire to listen to them ..Insha Allah

but didn't the sahaba of the prophet PBUH sing to him when he returned from war? -_-


Oh and this~~~> is not cr*p

Guys everything should be in moderation as islam is not there to complicate our lives i am not saying it is ok to listen to music 24/7 and i am not saying it is also ok not to listen to any music at all. You can listen to music as long as you read and hear quran. But turning off TV because the news has music is too extreme. And belive me this can go on to worse things at first you will say all music is haram then you will progress on to say the TV is haram then computer then basically every electronic (and i have seen this happen to some of my friends) then BAM! before you know it you your religion will get all messed up and believe me you will be a terriorst | and you people say music is there to infilatrate us and destroy us well how do you know that by not listening to it what i said above can also happen and destroy you?

Asslamu Alaikum Wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuh,
Glad to see so many people who actually think Music is Haram!!! Alhamdulillah.
Its so sad, that today where ever you go be it Restaurant or any grocery, U HEAR BACKGROUD MUSIC! which you dont want to hear...
And you are like, "Excuse me! I am not here to listen to MUSIC..."
May Allah save this ummah from fitna of Music! (Aameen)
May Allah give Jaza-e -Khair to the person who started the discussion abt this Topic

hmm.. I agree that Islam is not their to complicate our lives, but the simplest life is that of a slave of Allah.. the one who adheres to whatever His lord commands without questioning as he knows that his lord is the most merciful, the most wise.
You mention about moderation in Islam, but what exactly is 'moderation'..? someone will say y do u pray 5 times a day..? that's too much!; better keep it to once or twice... and the one at 5am in the morning is just absurd! you should be moderate.. right?? WRONG!!! the true criterion for mderation is Allah's prophet (S.A.W)! Whatever he did was moderate, anything more or less than that is going to one of two extremes!
Allah(S.W.T) tells us: "There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often." (33:21) also Allah told us in Quran to obey Allah and obey the Messenger (see 64:12 etc.)

It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: Three people came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asking about the worship of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). When they were told, it was as if they regarded it as too little. They said: Who are we in comparison to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)? Allaah has forgiven his past and future sins. One of them said: As for me, I will pray all night forever. Another said: I shall fast all my life and never break my fast. Another said: I shall keep away from women and never get married. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came and said: “Are you the ones who said such and such? By Allaah, I am the one who fears Allaah the most among you and I am the most pious, but I fast and I break my fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5063) and Muslim (1401)

(notice how those ppl were going to extremes?)

Now we come to your music question...
It was narrated that Naafi’ said: “Ibn ‘Umar heard a woodwind instrument, and he put his fingers in his ears and kept away from that path. He said to me, “O Naafi’, can you hear anything?” I said, “No”. So he took his fingers away from his ears, and said: “I was with the Prophet (S.A.W) and he heard something like this, and he did the same thing.”"
(Abu Dawud)
So If Prophet (S.A.W) tried to avoid music, we should too... more evidences here (Mp3 by Kamal El Makki)

And trust me, you can never become a terrorist if you try to adhere to Allah's book and Prophet(S.A.W)'s sunnah... on the understanding of the early genrations of Islam... The height of it is that even when we are harmed, we aren't allowed to harm someone innocent in retaliation:
“Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity”[al-Mumtahinah 60:8]

if you have actually bothered yourself and read the rest of the post you would have understood what i meant by moderation and if you don't want to believe what i said happened to me infront of my eyes i am not going to smack and force you to believe

And what is your definition of a terrorist? A terriorst is basically an extremist who has taken one aya or one sura and goes by it in his life that basically everything is haram and this what is thread is doing to you guys it is will slowly influence you whether you take my advice or not it is up to you.

And i never said not to pray btw i have said be4 that music will be haram if it prohibts you from doing your prayers and practicing your religion even simple things like favoring it over a quran is prohbited.

Also god may give people talent in making music but no other talent how are they supposed to work and earn a living then? or should they beg?

 

[Unicorn]
