To ALL THOSE who believe in the existence of the life after this life, we Muslims have been reminded in Qur’an that this life is just an amusement, or some scholars agree that this life is a delusion.
Chapter 6: Al-An’aam (The Cattle), verse 32
“And the life of this world is nothing but play and amusement. But far better is the house in the Hereafter for those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious). Will you not then understand?”
Of course, alhamdulillah, I also agree that this life is just a delusion. There are going to be many things which will incite you into doing immoral things, deviating you from serving your true purpose; that is to serve God, your creator, though some may regard them as something atractive or normal, or even praiseworthy. Naturally, these things are those which allure human beings the most, like sex, money and fame. Do you agree with me? God told me so. (:
Chapter 3: Ali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran), verse 14
“Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him.”
We don’t have to be a slave to this world or the media. Trends do exist, but it is never obligatory for we to follow them. Let them keep changing. Why should we follow suit?
Bad music, casual sex or the practice of promiscuity, idol ‘worshippers’ and many more. Why are people enjoying listening to songs which do not convey any positive message and in fact the messages being conveyed are those of negative ones, like encouraing premarital sex and some satanic beliefs. There are even fanatic people who dress exactly or imitate everything which their idols are doing. It is fine if you were to like David Beckham, Taufik Hidayat or Michael Phelps. They are people who motivate you in a positive manner. You become a better soccer player, a badminton player or push you to like swimming, which is the healthiest sport I believe.
But!! If you were to idol female singers who nonchalantly go to the beach in bikini.. and some even dare to relax at the beach naked.. wake up your mind.. these shouldn’t pose any interest in you. Love your body. Reserve it for the one guy who truly loves you, your husband. It shouldn’t be for random guys to ‘appreciate’ -_- them.. imagine your mother, your wife, your sisters, your daughters.. do you enjoy them being oogled at by random guys??
Rememer this: Life is merely a test. There are gonna be things which deviate us from our true purpose. Sex, money and fame, these have been the main reasons for human catastrophe throughout the history of mankind. And sometimes, people relate sex with music. (:
All praises be to Allah. Islam has come to save humanity. The last prophet of mankind, prophet Muhammad s.a.w. has been sent to spread the full and last teachings of Islam.
Chapter 21: Al-Anbiyaa’ (The Prophets), verse 107
“And We have sent you (O Muhammad s.a.w.) not but as a mercy for all creations.”
And lastly, this is very important. However, this message is especially for those of you who believe in the existence of Satan and Lucifer.
Chapter 7: Al-A’raf (The Heights), verse 17
“Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).”
Naturally, God is all-knowning. He knows about this. (:
Chapter 41: Fussilat (Explained In Detailed), verse 36
“And if an evil whisper from Satan tries to turn you away (O Muhammad s.a.w.) (from doing good, etc.), then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.”
Peace Be Unto You
