No-one likes to be preached to- but maybe advice or suggestions shouldnt always be taken as preaching *shrug*<BR/><BR/>There's nothing unsettling about these types of events- maybe you should attend one before you start making sweeping generalisations.Or maybe you feel you know enough about Islam and so would not benefit from such events, i dunno- but its clearly not the case for others whose Imaan may be strengthened by such "days out." Oh and trust me, these events are about alot more than just nasheed concerts. <BR/>Dont get me wrong- i understand exactly what your post is about but sometimes you can sound very condescending. Im not questioning your "muslimness" here and have no right to either. Sometimes it seems you get pissed off at muslims for wanting to overtly celebrate their faith! Whats your problem? Fair do no-one should preach/force you, but then you should also accept that maybe its equivalent to someone suggesting that you go watch a certain movie or go to a certain concert (to use the same analogy)- you dont seem to get as annoyed when its not related to religion for some reason. (Yes i do agree that going to an "Islamic" conference means jack all in relation to proving yourself as a muslim=,but for those who wish to attend- there is more blessing in the gathering than in attending the cinema to watch Dhoom :-) so why not make the most of it)?<BR/><BR/>Btw, there's also nothing creepy about nasheeds (most of them anyway). They're supposed to evoke feelings of love and remembrance of Allah (swt) and the Prophets of Allah. Maybe listening to songs about harmony, peace, brotherhood, solidarity, the beauty of the deen etc does nothing for you- in which case its all good but i wouldnt resort to referring to them as "creepy," its an insult- particularly the ones that praise Allah. <BR/><BR/>Then again, maybe in your opinion a nasheed shouldnt have to do that and 2 days of private study should accomplish that aim :-) Anyhow beats the, "I see a hot mama over there blah blah blah" and the other usual tripe that comes out of and yes, stuff that even i listen to from the Western pop culture. (Wouldnt want to be called a hypocrite now would i) :-) Well, each to their own i guess eh? :-) aslong as youre happy.Zaherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666016353958203164noreply@blogger.com
