What Allah Say About Music

Allah is the most merciful and most beneficent, all prays is due to Allah and peace and blessing be upon on his messenger.

Music is the main issue that is under discussion in hot topics by many scholars and debtors of the past and the present. Many scholars and debtors are totally against of all forms of music while some of them with a singular exception of Duff (tambourine) say that it is allowed in weddings. Some of them with positive approach considering only music that contain pagan, unethical and sensual themes are forbidden. For more information about Islam and topics like this you can visit Learn Quran Online.

The scholars and debtors who say that all kind of music is forbidden, does not seem to agree under the balanced approach of Islam. The general nature of Islam is more consistent in the later views that are the complete way of life. Usually the first group scholars set the traditions to justify the condemnation about all sort of music and musical instruments because of the association of it with dancing, drinking and sensuality.

It is the fact that our beloved prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) not only allowed music on weddings but also listen singing girls and he just interrupted those girls on one line of song that was “In our midst is a prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow”. Muhammad (p.b.u.h) told them that just remove this line of song and sing the rest you were singing earlier. So it is proved that songs or singing is not restricted only to the weddings but the wording that convince body parts to dance or drink are forbidden. When you will join.Learn Quran Online you will come to know more about this topic and Islam clearly prohibit hat dancing of both opposite sex together.

But we have to stress that Islam clearly prohibits mixed dancing of males and females.”
Allah Almighty knows best.

Hazrat Ayub (A.S) The Man Of Patience And Tolerance

The Holy Quran tells its readers about the stories of Prophets so that the readers get guidance and direction. Hazrat Ayub (A.S) was one of the dearest Prophet of Allah (SWT) and his story is very inspirational.

Ibn Ishaaq stated that he was a man of Rum and he was a descendant of Abraham's offspring. Hazrat Ayub (A.S) was very thankful to Allah, he was repentant and his strength was patience. Hazrat Ayub (A.S) was blessed with wealth, he had children, horses, land etc. the best part was that he was famous in angles and he was considered to be a role model.

Iblis (The Satan) came up with the argument that just because Hazrat Ayub (A.S) has the wealth, heath, horses and children that’s is why he is so thankful to Allah Almighty, if Allah takes away all these blessings , Hazrat Ayub (A.S) would become like other people.

Allah (SWT) has this Sunnah of testing his people so he tested Hazrat Ayub (A.S) by taking all his wealth and health, but Hazrat Ayub (A.S) was the man of patience and determination, he always remembered Allah (SWT) in those conditions too.

Allah (SWT) says in Quran: “Truly! We found him patient. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance to Us”. At another place Allah (SWT) says: “Commemorate Our Servant Job. Behold he cried to his Lord: "The Evil One has afflicted me with distress and suffering,”

Quran- The Most Authentic Scripture On The Face Of the World

Quran is the book of Allah, which holds its authenticity until date, not a single word out of it has been changed and nor will ever be changed by anyone. Allah has taken the duty Himself to be the guard of Quran Himself. Unlike other sacred scriptures, words of Quran can never be changed.

According to many sources, Christians and Jews have made lot of changes in their scriptures. All these scriptures hold the references to Muhammad and Quran, which were then removed by people themselves. On the whole, the early scriptures carried the news of Muhammad and Quran before Muhammad was sent to the Earth and before Quran was revealed to him.

There is no doubt about the fact that Quran is the only authentic scripture which is unchanged from nearly 1500 years. Allah himself talks about Quran’s authenticity in Surah Nisa [4:82] "Do they not then meditate on the Quran? And if it were from any other than Allah, they would have found in it many a discrepancy."

The above mentioned worse is enough to clear any doubts about the authenticity of Quran. Still if anyone wants to check the authenticity of the book, there is an easy method for one to do so. You can check it through thorough reading of the book itself. Quran is opened for everyone, who doubt on its authenticity.

Read the Quran, research over it and find any discrepancy if you have any doubt. This is a simple method to research on Quran. You might be amazed to know that there hasn’t been any single person in the history, who found a single discrepancy in the scripture. Many scholars have been researching over it but no one succeed in finding any kind of discrepancy and no discrepancy simple means that its 100% authentic.

Defacing Quran Is Nothing For Christians

It is the need of the hour that we Muslims learn the spirit of Holy Quran. It is understandable that the world is moving at a very fast pace, but even in this technology oriented era one can learn Holy Quran online.

The Muslims expect a high level of dignity and respect towards the holy Quran and if it is not there, their emotions are hurt. There arose a case in Nairobi, Kenya where a Christian in Ethiopia, languished in jail for some months due to paying disrespect to the Holy Quran.

A member of the Full Gospel Church, Tamirat Woldegorgis , when he was 30 he was arrested because he used the words “Jesus is Lord” in some of the clothes (as he was a worker in a cloth making business) and he used the same words in a copy of the Holy Quran as well.

There were allegations on Tamirat Woldegorgis that he was involved in defacing the Holy Quran and this is what hurt the emotions of Muslims. He was transferred to prison Jijiga (Jijiga is the capital of Ethiopia). Some sources say that his life was in great danger there, anyhow he spent 3 years in prison.

According to a church leader, Tamirat Woldegorgis suffered 3 years of jail for something which is nothing special, the question arises, what about the hurt emotions of the Muslims?

For all the Muslims Holy Quran online is the facility available on internet, we must avail it in order to pronounce the Holy Quran rightly and to understand it properly.

Islam Believes Justice And Equality Is The Solution For Terrorism

It is very unfortunate that the image of Muslims all over the world is ruined very much due to the terrorism. It is a natural tendency in people to make a huge out of nothing (stereotypically), that’s what happened in Muslims case. Christians were involved in mass murdering at the times of crusade wars but they weren’t tagged as terrorists. On the other hand Muslims’ minor mistakes are not acceptable to the world. This is a double standard.

If one goes through the Holy Quran and Hadith, he /she will get to know the message of peace and harmony of Islam. Other than the Holy Quran and Hadith, the Islamic History is the proof that Muslims were always against terrorism, an Ummah (nation) which was always against terrorism, how can it become terrorist themselves.

This is a proven fact that Caesar had sleepless nights and on the other hand Hazrat Umar (R.A) used to sleep under a tree without a guard. This shows how peaceful the environment was at the times of Sahabas.

Islam believes that the justice and equality is the only solution for terrorism. If we trace the root cause of terrorism, we will get to know that it’s the frustration, power crisis, prominence, and lust for money and fame that forces people to unstable the conditions in a society and this is how people dictate their terms. If we bring justice and equality, the power crisis would be gone and the terrorism would not be anymore.

The Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) Is Our Role Model

Allah has sent His Beloved Messenger Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) for our guidance and success. Every act of Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) is a must follow for us because Allah Ta’ala has put success in His orders and the Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW).

The knowledge of Quran and Hadith enlightens people and they get to know about the real objective of life. Unfortunately we are so much busy in our corporate life that we have forgotten the objective of our life. People with time constraints can pretty much use the facility of internet and can learn online Quran reading, this way they will be inclined towards the orders of Allah (SWT) and the Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW).

When we say that Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) is our role model and we have to follow him in every walk of life then there is a need to have a look at his life style. What he used to do at the time of sorrows, what was his act at the time of joys, how he responded to someone if someone misbehaved. We actually need to know what were his behaviors and acts in different situations.

Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallaho Anha) relates that whenever a strong wind bringing dense clouds started blowing, the Prophet’s (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) face turned pale with the fear of Allah. He became restive and would go in and out with perturbation, and would recite the prayer.

The above mentioned Hadith shows that how much fear of Allah the Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) had, we must follow Prophet's (Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam) in order to get success.
