I understand that from your point of view we must be looking like bunch of idiots who torture themselves by not enjoying anything... The thing is you are only seeing results of a way of life… which begs the question why do we live such a way of life… I’d like to give you a little insight about the basics of our deen (way of life)why rnt songs allowed ?? you kiddin ?
The one thing everyone is after is peace. Someone earns so he can have money and enjoy it; you study and go through hell just so one day you can reap the benefits… We Muslims (especially the practicing ones) already have a lot of peace in our lives, we know the path that leads to contentment and we are trying our best to follow it.
But wait; how do I know what I’m following is the truth? We have proofs for it, the biggest one is the Quran… it’s a miraculous book. You know like the prophet Moses (peace be upon him) could part the water ("Then We inspired Moses saying: "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate (part of that sea water) became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain." 26:63) by the will of God (Allah) same way the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was this Quran. It is (in Arabic) the literal word of Allah, and just by reading it you can feel that. It’s so flawless and perfect, even when it’s about 1500 years old book (perfect in every way possible: the hundreds of scientific facts it mentions which we discovered in modern times, the prophecies it makes, historic facts, logic it uses etc.)
It’s so perfect that Allah challenges those who doubt it (many times):
The Quran is guidance for humanity; it is powerful advice from our master and creator, Allah. It tells us how to live a successful life, how to act, what is right and wrong, who created us, why did he create us, why do ‘bad’ things happen to people, what will happen after we die, everything! In tough times it’s a companion you can rely on.Say: "If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another." [Qur'an 17:88]
And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful. [Qur'an 2:23]
And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. laws and orders, etc, decreed for mankind) - wherein there is no doubt from the the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns,and all that exists).
Or do they say: "He (Muhammad(P)) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a surah (chapter) like unto it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!" [Qur'an 10:37-38]
Or they say, "He (Prophet Muhammad(P)) forged it (the Qur'an)." Say: "Bring you then ten forged surah (chapters) like unto it, and call whomsoever you can, other than Allah (to your help), if you speak the truth!" [Qur'an 11:13]
Or do they say: "He (Muhammad(P)) has forged it (this Qur'an)?" Nay! They believe not! Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful. [Qur'an 52:33-34]
So when Allah tells us something is bad for us we stay away from it and we find true happiness in submission to Allah. A lot of other faiths say God says this or this but they have no proof for their statements, we on the other hand have logical proof for our beliefs. By Quran’s miracles, that we appreciate, we know for a fact that what it tells us is the truth. (Plus Quran’s style is such that it makes you reflect and come to a conclusion)
