music?

Assalamu Alaikum

I used to listen to hardcore rap all the time... Now the desire really isnt there anymore..it just doesnt feel the same anymore when I hear it,Alhamduillah....sometimes I turn on the TV and listen to music when Im doing things around the house or when riding in the car...but when Im on the internet, I like to listen to Qur'an recitation and nasheeds and lectures, alhamduillah.

Assalamu alaikum

Alhamduillah

I would agree with Chrysalis..its mainly the messages and intentions that what make the vast majority of music Haram.  Also some instruments.

On another note, Chrysalis..I didnt know you were a sister, I think I may have called you a brother in the past..my fault!

Assalamu Alaikum seekn...A brother told me one time that you know how we stop doing things that we know are haram/sins,etc...  That we stop doing them,with Allahs permission! Have you ever thought about it before...that a thing that we chose to give up or not do, all comes down to one moment, one decision? Its just a matter of doing, with the power of  du'a and the Strength and Might of Allah Ta Ala, the Best of Help.

Assalamu Alikum,

Sis, no need to apologise.
I tease alot, but I meant to put forth a point, generally - that it is easy to judge another without really knowing what situation that person is in. Yeah, there are different levels of addiction :). What those others do are really extreme and should be avoided. I agree with you in most matters of your post, though. :)

Please make dua for me, I really want to stop listening to music, especially after having read the article from Darul Iftaa (http://www.daruliftaa.com/) on Music and Singing.
