Narrow-mindedness in religion

Wat do u understand by tis words?

K wat do u understand by the word not narrow minded?

Creative?
Tink out of the box?
Find other solution to solve somthing?
Consider new ideas?

Narrowminded in the dic says : they are unwilling to consider new ideas or other people's opinions.

How about following the trend these days when trying to outreach to younger ppl

It falls in rite?

"lets ladies solat side by side with a non muhrim man in jemaah"
"lets drink wine in mosque"
"lets give chance for ladies to azan pad masjid"

So does these examples fall in the meaning of narrowmindedness?u are narrow minded because u didnt open urself to new ideas.THIS will come from people who only use their hukum akal.to their defence, they will say "islam is a free religion".

Y cant u accept this "creative" idea? u would says must follow the teaching of the religion too.the basic hukum hakam u must know too.we serve God.

The question now is who do you serve? Satan? Your Ego? or God? serving the first two shackles you, traps you and shuts you off in a pithole, whereas serving God earns you His Divine Grace and Favour. People often say that the liberated person is he who is free to do as he wills, even if it is a sin. In reality, they are ENSLAVED by their own nafs.

So before u execute new ideas,ask urself, are u following ur nafs?are u making islam follow wat u tink?another words, u follow islam or u want islam to follow u? are u trying to sound good even if its wrong?islam have laid us guidiance,we can be creative in following it as long as we dont go out of the teaching.

In islam, we discourage narrowmindedness because it made us weak in times.we strongly encourage open mind, creative, forward looking, all that.but from all these, we still cant bypass the basics stuff in islam.

Lets see some eg of narrowmindnedness

U cant act, because acting is a form of lying
Women cant drive car
No music, singing
Cannot watch tv
Cannot give flower
Cannot clap hands
Cannot write novel
Cannot write with left hand
Cannot celebrate birthday

Y ni sume takle?
the list will go on.all these is because u follow the non beleiver way.

Everyting here if we do, CAN or CANNOT go against our teaching, these can or cannot relies more on HOW U DO THESE THINGS.

Take music as an example. can we listen to music?common question. or can women sings? lets talk abt music 1st, music tat makes u remember GOD more, is permissible, even music tat able to release u from stress is acceptable, and even to these if these musics lead u to lalai and not to solat,it became unacceptable, music that contains alot of vulgarity and insults and melalaikan and seumpama ngan dia is not permissible, likewise for women who sings, in phrophet time pun a women sang for him when she so happy to meet him when he return.

In islam, NOT EVERYTHING can be judge by hukum akal, if judge tat way, then like wat i said above, are u serving GOD or not?

To end this, asking the muslim, what ur pendapat abt having newspaper yg ada gambar2 women tk tutup aurat pad masjid?and we take and read it in the mosque(be/not in the musollah). and this may lead to gossips, even if not, with tat available, it brings u a step closer to sins..this entry is of support to my last entry, which target more on choice. when talk abt choice, it goes back to are u following Satan? Your Ego? or God?

Halal or Haram? hmmm...

To let some1 watch a movie like any hollywood or bollywood movies(with good learning points) with aurat expose is not correct!! especially in the mosque.

NO, it isnt, cos it knowledge, and our niat is more on for the audience to learn from the knowledge the vedio sharing.

If u want to talk on the basis of "because is knowledge and is our niat that matters more" , then everything can fall in this claim,eg, i show u a vedio of hmm, how to kiss ur wife or ur husband, under the reason of how to show affection to ur spouse, and with a niat of to educate ppl on how to make a better family.how about porn then?to educate ppl abt how to have sex and having an intention for married couple to njoy each other MORE and reduce the divorce rate.its knowledge btw.

Then xplain to me how are u going to educate ppl abt gonorrhea? if u claim tat looking the aurat is haram, how are we going to learn abt this knowledge if we dunt look at this pictures of gonorrhea?

I dunt tink u get my point clear, the 1st 3 letters i start with is "To let some1" in the 1st paragraph. it became a choice here,to let, so abt the gonorrhea, do u have any other CHOICE to learn abt that knowledge if u dunt look at the pictures? yes rite? which is, u can visit this patients, or u became the patient. if u visit the patients, many problem will rise, will u be at the 1st place be comfortable?maybe u are,k, will the patients want to make themselve as learning tools? many will be in the state of sadness and shamefulness.how bout u be the patient? then u can learn abt gonorrhea all ur life. this just some of the problems tat will or might occur.both way is difficult to carry out.

So wats ur point u are making?

Im talking abt choice, u leave with no other better choice to learn abt gonorrhea then to look at the pictures, it protect the patients' identity, and save u for having 1, so looking at the picture to learn abt that knowledge is not haram,because u have no other choice and is essential to know abt it.When u just says tat its knowledge and good niat, everything is ok, is as though u have no other choice other then to show those hollywood or bollywood movies to deliver the msg(which is a good msg). tats alot of cons to the path to learn abt gonorrhea, so the best way to learn abt gonorrhea is to look at the pictures.so students can learn from this and when they became doctors they can detect patients with this signs more effeicently. so do u have any other choice to deliver the good msg in the hollywood movies?

Yes, i can reenact back in a better way.get the good points in the movie and act it back with us in aurats enclose.

Exactly, if we dunt see all posibility, everything can be under the name of knowledge and good niat.now u can see that how thin the margin is between halal and haram? not only u save urself from lost in halal haram world, u also teach the audience how important to look deeply abt an issue when u tell the audience y is the movie not shown and instead is the reenactment of it, the audience will understand how important to understand the thin margin tat separates halal and haram by the way u deliver the msg across.

To end this, ill like to say:
Without knowledge a Muslim may not be able to distinguish between halal and haram, between what is commanded and what is prohibited. As a result of this confusion, halal may be abandoned on the wrong assumption that it is haram, and haram may be committed on the wrong assumption of being halal .

To the end of time, muslims difficult to distinguish between wat is halal and what is haram.where halal can be seen as haram, and haram can be seen as halal.

Syiekh Hisham once said,
"WHEN ISLAM BEGIN TO suit itself to its people, it begins to lose its honour."
