Chill Out

[Sahar]

We all know that there are many issues that are disagreed upon by the scholars of Islam. These disagreements are concerning the secondary issues since scholars of Islam agree on the basics. Some of these issues are very minor in their importance but you find some Muslims' blood get bioled over it although we have more important things to worry about. I was checking the group of my college year class on FB, and one of our colleagues posted a song by Hamza Nmaira who is a very modest and respectful singer. His art delivers a very good and noble message. Anyway, some mates commented on the video by telling its poster "Don't post any music the next time", I said "what the ?! :areyoucra" Another one told him "you know what is halal and haram very well, you shouldn't have posted something like this especially in these days; the 1st 10 days of dhul-hijjah"!!
If some guys don't like music, no-one forced you to listen. But you can't force others to follow what makes you comfortable. Music is one of the famous (and unimportant) debatable issues between the scholars. And if this is the case, then we should accept the difference and each one's right to follow the opinion that makes more sense to him. Those who believe that music is haram view those who don't as being sinful, why is that?

Another issue like the issue of hijab vs niqab, you find the Islamic forums are full of debates about this topic, everyone wants to impose the opinion he follows on the rest. If you believe niqab is obligatory, it's your right. And if I view it as non-obligatory or even unrequired, it's my right Islamically speaking. Period.

This level of thinking represents the current shameful condition of weakness of our Ummah.

If I don't agree with something, then I don't listen to it or don't wear it etc, I have never understood why some people love to cause a fuss and argue other things.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I feel the important thing is doing what you feel is right and what you are comfortable with.

I'm still trying to learn much about Islam, but I know that there will be some things that I won't agree with, but I feel that that's my right and it wouldn't be sincere to pretend to agree it.

I believe we have many other issues to worry about than Hijab and music!

It's too shame that Muslims are so concerned with such secondary issues and that they keep fighting and claiming accusations on each other while totally neglecting the deep philosophical nature of Islam.

The one thing that unites all Muslims is the belief and reverence of the Quran and love for the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

I don't blame those youths for such behaviour so much. IMO, when youths see scholars are fighting each others over such issues, they should react this way, and worse than this...They are just repeating what they have heard from scholars whom they trust...And certainly this is shameful!!

We have just two ways to get over that thing, whether to close the door for anyone wants to debate these issues and just look for what makes us unite...Or to urge those scholars to stop what they are doing, and to just give their opinions without disregarding the other. That's why I like Sheikh Muhammad Hassan's approach when he was asked about Niqab, he presented the two opinions in objectivity and left the choice for Muslims ...
