For Muslim members : preparation for Ramadan (NoFap June)

Thanks for the thread. Aiming to reach Ramadan fap free!

 

- Meditation and listening to music is helpful and if you can play an instrument it would be great banned Music.

Music banned in Islam.

 

Great idea @Beatzeppe but I think it's better if we keep it all in one thread . I say let's talk about the preparation for Ramadan in the main thread "Muslim fapstronauts"

This is great!
Im not born into Islam, but im planning to fast this Ramadan too.
All the best you all

If you all dont know about Sufism, please do research about the great Islamic mystics Rumi and Shams of Tabriz

 

I don't think that they can merge 2 threads together ... you can re-post these great tip there though

 

Good luck fasting Ramadan bro , such great health benefits come with fasting !
Is Sufism spread in India if I may ask ?

 

I was asking seeker19 in that one

 

Is Music haram? Theres ikhtilaf. There are some instruments totally forbidden (flutes, string instruments etc.) . There is ikhtilaf on duff. Music which turns you away from God is Haram. But whats about kharidas(Poetry) of the Ahlu Tasawwuf (Sufiyyah), its in a way singing Is this haram? I am Ahnaf and my madhab is very stric in the matters of music, but still in hanafi fiqh is great ikhtilaf on the topic of music. I've even read in a hanafi fiqh book, that music(with instruments) for the sufis becomes halal, because its a tool to get nearer to Allah (Its not my opinion, but there are such opinions). Imam Al Azam Abu Hanifa rahimahullah has a very strict opinion against instruments. So its matter of ikhtilaf, but we the Ahlu Sunnah wal Jamaah agree upon, that some instruments and kinds of music(which leds you away from Allah ta ala) are forbidden!! Wa Allahu alam (And God knows the whole truth).

 

Musta, I dont really know the answer to that question, but i will say that there is notable influence of Sufism in India and in some of our very secret spiritual practices too.

And i see a discussion about music here.
I dont know a lot about Islam, but in Sufism certainly, they use musical instruments to go into a state of ecstatic union with God.

I think it may be a myth that music is banned. Because the incidents of Shams of Tabriz and Rumi happened many many years back and they introduced this Dervish dance i described and it was very well received in the Islam community.

Or maybe only vulgar music is music.
Like someone here said, music that takes you closer to Allah is not a problem, its very good infact.
Have you all heard Sufi songs about divine love for God?
Its beautiful.

 

I forgot to translate, Ikhtilaf = different opinions among the scholars. (Islam is not a white&black Religion)

 

I can move this into "Muslim Fapstronauts" if you wish. Just tell me what you want me to do, Beatzeppe.

Also, like Seeker19 even though I'm not Muslim I wish to fast during this time. I really hope I can make it this time!

 

Awesome!
