Yet it paints a very realistic picture of what people are like. Dont you think?
As a people we are far from perfect. This forum is representative of that fact.

And thus very relevant in my opinion.

We are not perfect. It would be foolish to pretend otherwise.
If we were all goody-two-shoes then we'd put off people who come on here.

Because at the end of the day, we're exactly the same as them. We are also still learning about Islam and trying to put it into practice. It doesnt always work, we struggle, we trip and fall yet we are still here. Still doing our best in our practice.

I think you're supposed to slowly wein yourself off them so you dont need to rely on them. Or just go cold-turkey and stop listening to them all.

Tried it... didnt work lol. I usually need something to distract me or focus my thoughts and music seems to do it. It also helps lighten the mood when feeln down.

Question: If listening to music isn't approved and you can't stand nasheeds due to their immature nature and the lack of imagination in poetry and chuck in the fact that you actually work best with music/sounds... what exactly should one listen to? The bradford traffic?

Hahaha! SOOO true! Finally someone agrees with me.

I saw Slipknot at a Rock Festival in my days of Jahaliyyah. They are SUCH idiots... but I have to admit I kinda like the chorus to Wait and Bleed.

I don't like a particular KIND of music, but I like particular 'artists' in all fields, who I think are the BEST in their genre.

EG I can't listen to ANY metal except System of a Down - they're actually REALLY good but you have to be in the right frame of mind). There songs P.L.U.C.K. about the Armenian genocide, their song Chop Suey!' about depression, or BYOB (Bring Your Own Bombs) about the Iraq war...all pieces of 'art' in my honest opinion.

I like old Blur and Oasis cos it reminds me of being 11 years old... which was an absolutley GREAT time in my life. Other music from this time like Jamiroquai, Skunk Anansie, White Town, Babylon Zoo... I don't like any of those kinds of music, other than those bands.

I like hip-hop mainly (but hate gangsta rap) because you can listen again and again and find new meanings - the lyrics are so dense that it goes well with repeated listening.

I like some old rock/pop like Beatles, Jimi Hendrix.

I can't stand 'sexy pop' like Girls Aloud or Pussycat Dolls or whatever. I don't think anyone can disagree that this is absolutely haram and they are selling sex, they don't even pretend to have any musical talent.

Two of my favourite songs in the whole world:

OK let;s talk Nasheeds, I think they're just as good as western music.

I like

Don't Talk to me about Muhammad- Dawud Wharnsby
Can't Take it With You- Dawud and Zain
Allah Knows- Dawud and Zain
(Qaseeda) Burdah- Mesut Kurtis (so relaxing)
Look into My Eyes- Outlandish
Stand Alone- Native Deen
Small Deeds- Native Deen
Allahu- Sami Yusuf

shame you don't understand urdu. english nasheeds are ok but nothing compared to urdu naat/hamd.

There was this one Urdu naat that really gave me a head ache! Not that it was bad. It was so fast, and the echoing reminded me of a time when I was so dizzy while praying Isha at the mosque in Pakistan. I just came home and collapsed!

Says the person that drinks with his left hand! One should first look and analyse their own actions before passing judgement on what other ppl do.

Not having ago just stating the obvious.
