It is no secret that songs, music and films
depend upon sex-appeal for their success. The more sexy a song the more its
sale and the more suggestive a music the more its market value. And also it is
no secret that building the character of the children begins from their very
tender age. If they are exposed to obscene songs, sexy music and suggestive
dances in their childhood their entire outlook on the matters of sex morality
and marriage-sanctity will become jaundiced. They will lose the capacity to
distinguish between moral and immoral modesty and immodesty, chastity and
promiscuity. Some people think that the children do not
understand these things! Such people are wrong. Thus, by listening to the songs and seeing the
dance on television, we ruin the moral uprightness of our children. If we
believe that children are given to us by Allah as a trust and that we are
responsible to give them such a training that they become good Muslims and
virtuous servants of Allah, then we must abstain from songs and music and must
keep them safe from the evil influence of these sinful habits. You will find
this subject adequately explained in the Appendix. |
