1) Young Muslims - The Message

2. Daily 5 times Salat (Prayer): Daily Salat has to be performed ontime. This is Allah’s order. Therefore, while outside at school,college, university, public library, shopping mall, office, factory,etc., Salat should invariably be performed on a relatively quietplace spreading a newspaper or a new garbage bag. Never toneglect this Fard Ibadah. Shaitan (Iblis/Devil) will try to distractyou, but you must defeat him by performing your Salat on time.Make it a habit of attending Salat-e-Janaza when a Muslim diesand make Dua for him or her, for one day you too will die andexpect other Muslims to attend your Salat-e-Janaza and makeDua for you.3. Computer, Ipods, video games, TV, movies, etc.: Computergames, Ipods, video games, TV, movies (English, Bengali, Hindior any other language) consume a large amount of timeeveryday. Reduce such wasteful habits, set a daily limit so thatthe time thus saved can be put to Ibadah or similar useful andhealthy pursuits.4. Cinema, music, dancing, etc.: Cinema, music, dancing, etc., arenot approved by Islam because those are in most cases,indecent. Moreover, they waste valuable time and money too.Such things are machinations of the Shaitan taking the heartaway from the remembrance of Allah. These must be avoided.Rock music is particularly objectionable because these songs inmany cases adore the Shaitan which is Shirk.5. TV serials, songs, etc.: Similar is the case with drama, TV serialstoo. Hindi cinema and serials are particularly harmful to Islamicfaith. These Hindi drama, serial, cinema starts with praisingHindu Idols (gods, goddesses), and also show their religiousculture of seeking help form these gods and godesses. So,watching these Hindu religious practices is Haram, and it willgradually weaken the Iman.6. Many songs (Bengali and Hindi) contain wordings contrary toIslamic belief. Therefore, must be avoided.Young Muslims, What they should know about Islam Page - 94
