#31: Thomas shabalaala now EBRAHIM - itv

Assalaamualikum. Welcome to islam brother. You see ITV is especially dangerous for people like you i.e new muslims and modern muslims. Reason being: Its highly possible that you will watch this channel and having no strong islaamic knowledge you will see its conduct etc. as islaam. Now this can never be further from the truth. ITV is ''propogating'' islam in direct conflict from which rasoolullah salallahu'alaihiwasallam propogated and taught us to propogate the sacred deen.

Besides the television in itself being haraam in view of the fahsh (evil)  emanating from it, and being promoted by it, ITV has too many dangerous wrongs. To name just a few

1. There is intermingling between males and females. That is totally haraam (prohibited) in the shariah. See http://www.hayatantayyibah.com/?p=372

2. Woman do not cover themselves appropiately, in fact they beautify and adorn themselves to attract the attention of everyone including strange men

3. There is music. Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ud (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Beware of listening to musical instruments and singing, for verily, both these acts germinate nifaaq (hypocrisy) in the heart just as water causes vegetables to grow." (Kaf-fur Ru'aa').

See http://www.muftisays.com/blog/abu+mohammed/362_25-06-2010/40-hadith-on-music.html

 

Like sister muslima says: There are ample halal ways of acquiring islamic knowledge. Make use of those ways. There will be more barkat insha'Allah.

Remember me in your dua's brother,

Wassalam
