Muslims:

We are enraged that the forbidden satanic music we are listening to mocks my faith.

...

Make it make sense.
This music is itself offensive

Let's get to that core point and not talk past it. :)
"We are enraged that Quran or Sunnah is used for music in a 'degrading' way"

Understood.

This is another point:
The music itself is degrading and against Quran and Sunnah.

Remember that when Muslim musicians use Islamic phrases as well.
"We want to hold music industry accountable so they dont do it again"

Great mA!
Remember also that the industry itself is satanic.

This is what they do & often *for* the reactions.

It's nothing new.

Go on be enraged iA!

But dont forget that the music itself is the issue.

Some thoughts on:

"How it started
How it ended"

1. Hasan AlBasri said
"Jealousy will burn your faith faster than a body decays after death."

- If you feel jealousy pray for them instead
- know God has something in store for you as well
2. Be happy for people finding love.
Dont sit there and judge them.

It has become increasingly harder to find someone compatible because of people's ever changing expectations and wants, the internet doesn't help, and true compatibility takes time and doesnt have a formula.
3. Save your criticism commentary :)

Everyone always has something to say. Keep it to yourself.

"Whoever believes in God and the last day, let them say good or keep silent"

A reminder for whoever needs to hear it:

Finding someone compatible has become even more more complex & difficult in age of social media

There's a ton of factors including personal struggles people are battling

Dont give irrelevant advice if you're not going to be a help 😉🌹
Some factors that make it difficult:

People's standards have changed from the days of random proposals coming to your house.

Social circles *in person* have become smaller

Covid hasnt helped

The internet in general is untrustworthy and to navigate it gives people anxiety.
Maturity has become a disaster

Mentorship isnt sought nor enough qualified to give it.

Islamic concepts of Manhood and womanhood is under crisis and developing later

Gender interaction is falsely understood between two extremes of hyper sexualizing or overt laxity.

Many theological concepts are taught to your average Muslim in a decontexualized ahistorical ideal

It becomes detrimental in lives of average Muslim who tries to make sense of how it applies in modern daily lives

Examples:
Archaic elements of Kalam theology
Al Wala wa Al Bara'
Reliving in the shadows of our tradition or the confines of books that we constantly regurgitate without articulating a theology that responds to the issues of our time becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of stagnation and what AbulHasan Nadwi refers to as "intellectual sterility"
My respects to all those who are excited & rep

Ashari or Maturidi kalam, or Athari stances

But reliving the theologies that answered problems of 10th or 13th cent isnt exactly called progress

Let's stop with lazy scholarship :)

Develop something *founded* on our tradition.

Don't overthink is actually a perfect response to people who overthink.

Look at the dozens of psychology articles about ruminating / brooding / overthinking and their psychological link to depression and anxiety.

Im absolutely amazed at all of the ways Islam helps temper our over thinking!

🔸Reflect over the benefits and the blessings
- of opportunity, garnering experience overcoming, blessing of it not being worse than it could have!
🔸Engaging in meaningful repetition remembrance dhikr
🔸Thinking positive of the Almighty
🔸Understanding when a hardship is not a punishment but a form of elevation! The Almighty tests those whom He *loves* the most!
🔸Recognizing the real effects of sins in one's life and consequences to cease and turn back to God

Some people are hurt and they cry,
some people are hurt and they laugh and try to show the world they're okay.

Give space if they need it, but check on both with reassurance and allow them safe space to vent.
Some who've been raised in religious circles often dont teach or counsel emotional management

Psychology is not their forte so it's easy for many to be dismissive of the actual need to be able to learn how to counsel emotions
While it's true that our tradition is rich in study of human emotion & counseling, it doesn't mean that post colonial religious institutions understand the advancements made in psychological study

Im glad @KhalilCenter exists that shows what compliments:
Psychology in tradition
