anon

from my personal experiences, i've found that

music and religion is like black and white

ok w8 thats racist

wtv u get my point

they both can't be in your heart

like im a muslim

and the quran and music can't be in your heart together from my personal expereinces

if u like hearing quran, no music

if u like music, no quran

its ok

i too left listening songs

it sure is hard at first

but you know, its kinda like jihad

spiritual jihad is the best type of jihda

jihad*

obv satan overwhelms you, to go start listening to it again, and u must overcome the burden

stay strong anon

u can listen to nasheeds + quran

and recit too

it helped me alot!!

I feel you man

I came to a point after the end of covid where i was so done with everything around me

So i started listening to music more often than I usually did

And started skipping prayers

Slowly I realized the hole i had dug myself into and started working on it

Just take small steps

Dont go at it all at once

For me i started setting alarms and rewards for myself for finishing prayers on time for a week

Then when i felt confident in that

I moved onto the excessive music listening i was doing

I tried new hobbies to distract myself

I cant say I have stopped cuz i absolutely love music but i have definitely put a limit

You just need to start drawing your line

My family doesn’t really think music is fully haram but we definitely don’t listen to it 24/7

Quran is always playing in the morning and my parents have set specific times for reading and memorizing

But once in a while they might play smthn in the car

One of the things that helped me stop listening to music as much was playing it

My dad has a piano at home so i used that to teach myself

It makes me think more than feel if that makes sense

Makes me feel accomplished whether the piece i learnt was happy or not

Anyway
