Music And Entertaiment in Islam

Here's my thought's about islam entertaiment

Da'wah movement not only serves to make kindness and Amar nahi munkar but it must also serves to produce a better alternative to replace one kemunkaran and solve human problems.

One area that requires alternatives and solutions of Islam is the entertainment district, or more specifically, music and singing.
Judge today's music in general as illegal only because the truth is not sufficient in natural human instinct requires entertainment Sede-mikian in life.

The more important question is whether alternatives to popular music today? If such alternatives exist How can it dimasyarakatkan to humans generally - cross-border race, geography, religion and culture. Cross the limits set out just means it is not only accepted by the Muslims or the Malay race but also accepted by other nations as the popularity of rhythm-rhythm and music concepts such as rap, rock and blues.

Nasyid as an alternative?
May have felt that no alternative has been the musical rhythm that nasyid as popularized by Raihan, Rabbani nasyid group and many others.

If this view be accepted, then there arose the question of how to make it popular sepopular-beat rhythm and the concept of modern music today?

Clear that although increasingly popular nasyid than before but limited popularity in certain segments of society, namely among those who already have awareness of Islam. If viewed in this region, it is only popular among the Malay community only. Chinese society does not listen to nasyid. Nasyid not even in Chinese, Indian and not much in English.

One aspect is the fact that only one nasyid beat rhythm and musical concepts. It is not possible to meet the tastes of all people. Which means all men may not be as fond nasyid hiburannya materials because people naturally have a diversity of taste and appetite. Therefore, the pace nasyid only be one suitable alternative, but not enough pace to become the only alternative to modern music today.

Nasyid set as the only alternative music that can be applied to Muslims and for a man will only make the Islamic remain seaside entertainment only.

If we thoroughly modern music today we will find that it is filled with various concepts and a different pace. This is due to music creators in the West, especially to understand the diversity of human appetite. Each beat is raised to meet the specific segments of society. Until the end of each segment of society is inseparable from the influence of Western music with all the negative values taken by him.

New Strategy
One strategy is to produce alternative music with songs that take advantage of existing market or have been produced by the songwriter available.

This is done by selecting songs that have messages that are planned well and popularize the songs of this type. Moreover, the people also tend to be educated and interested in the songs that have good messages from various.

Strategy is based on the understanding that although in general the songs on this day the nature of hedonism as many women adore, promoting love and passionate display akhlaq the foul, but should not be denied that there are also songs that have good and rhythmic senikata affecting feelings such as song Wonderful World by Kennie G, Heal The World by Michael Jackson and Travel Living by Ramli Sarip.

Also underlying this strategy is although the songs may be disputed by some parties keharusannya with Islam, but the fact it is an issue that dikhilafkan by scholars. Popularized such songs and educate people to tend to such a song existed in various forms and rhythm according to the diversity of human appetite is done as a level of da'wah before reaching perfection demanded.

Songs although this may be said as 'syubhat' by some parties, but it is better than if the public heard the songs beyond the obvious. This is consistent with the concept of harm which allows more light and principles tadarruj (stages) in the religion. These principles used by Imam Ibn Taimiyah to allow soldiers to drink alcohol until drunk Mongolian because in such circumstances, the soldiers will not kill and punish the civilian population.

This strategy is not submitted to lighten up the purpose-Ringankan law among Muslims but it is done to meet the realities of the general public which consists of public non-Muslim community and Islam.
By implementing this strategy, options for an alternative to music and songs that become more corrupt and not limited source of nasyid groups alone. This may give double jump (quantum leap) in order to submit songs alternatives and avoid da'wah movement of reinventing the wheel.

However, it is recognized that to implement this strategy requires a line drive like that put limits minimum select songs in 'lawful' for the general public so it does not error or abused.

Basics In view of scholars for Selecting Setting limits Minimum

7. Entertainment is a must in Islam. It is based on hadits she heard the two girls singing in Allah's house, act of friends who dig trenches during bernasyid defense Medina and act Messenger who brought her to see dance slave Ethiopia.

8. Entertainment should be used as a tool not a goal. Entertainment is a tool to educate, merihatkan themselves, build silaturrahmi and others who need and organized by Islam. This is because the goal of human life is to subjugate themselves to God not to idolize entertainment. Peak is entertainment is part of Ubudiyah to Allah or in the street leading Ubudiyah.
