Bol and Khuda k lie were released in cinemas
while there were alot of controversies
music is an individual problem but conveying a message that music is allowed in Islam??? where our those high authorities were who shut youtube for year now on the basis of movie that wa released not in OUR own country even???
y Friday is a working day while saturday sunday are off days
i never knew the importance of this day till few days back. its a huge gift of God for us.
God gifted Friday first to other Prophet's ummah but they refused n choosen the days of their choice i.e sat n sun.
in zia ul haq'a era i guess, an actress was suppose to wear dupatta
y cant v practice it now dear?
You shouldn't be randomly quoting Hadith without any knowledge of the context. Ustad Zaynab Ansari, who has spent years studying the Quran and Hadith has talked about this particular Hadith at length, and conclude that the Hadith does
not command muslims to forcibly convert non-muslims, or force Islamic rules on non-muslim. Maybe you should read that:

Second. Why don't we cut the hands of thieves? Again you shouldn't be making such bold statements without any knowledge of how Sharia Law is supposed to be implemented. Punishments like decapitation, capital punishment, etc. are always last resorts; Islam first and foremost teaches forgiveness. If there is a lesser punishment that can be used to teach the criminal a lesson, such as imprisonment, then it should be used, the severe punishments of chopping a thieves hand off should only be used as a last resort if everything else has failed. Even then such a punishment can only be used if the person who the crime was comitted against consents to it. So for isntance if someone stole something from me, I would be given a choice, either he is decapitated or he is forgiven and given a lesser punishment, if I say I do not want him to be decapitated he cannot be decapitated. That is how sharia law works; however more importantly as I said before the Quran teaches forgiveness and decapitation and capital punishments are used as last resorts. There are Hadith to support this; such as the Hadith about the woman who committed zinah and got pregnant. The Prophet (pbuh) did
not want to punish her, he (pbuh) kept on telling her to go away every time she came to the Prophet (pbuh) for punishment. Eventually he (pbuh) was forced to punish her because she kept on coming back, but even then he (pbuh) told his companions to be gentle because this woman was pure hearted and Allah surely loves her.
Third, are you trying to comapre the issue of music in Islam with the anti-Islam films made on youtube that insulted the Prophet (pbuh). Correct me if I am wrong but youtube was blocked out because of the anti-Islam films.
Bol and Khuda Ke Liye are
not anti-Islam. Now I don't agree with everything shown in Khuda Ke Liye, but that does not mean we should come out with our pitch-forks and demand it be band. Quite frankly those films are non-issues we have much more important things to be worrying about, such as the fact that 60% of the population is living at or below the poverty line.
Friday isn't a holiday because Pakistan is not an Islamic state. I would love Friday to be a holiday, but it's not, because Pakistan is not a theocracy. That's the bottom line. And again, there are more important things to worry about. I don't remember who said this but there is a saying that a Kafir state is better than an unjust state. At the moment we have an unjust state, and that is our major problem that we need to be focusing of fixing; we shouldn't be wasting our time worrying about this movie was banned, but this one wasn't, friday's not a holiday etc. etc.
Again Pakistan is not a theocracy that we are going to force women to wear scarves on their head. Not even Islam forces women to cover their heads, it commands women cover their heads but it does not say if a woman doesn't cover her head she should be forced to. The Prophet (pbuh) did not teach that we should force people to adhere to the rules of Islam, so why are you adamant we should?
All of these acts of worship should contribute to the individual forming a spiritual connection with Allah (swt), and that will not happen if the individual is being forced to commit these acts of worship. Being forced to follow Islam's teachings is completely contradictory to what Islam teaches.
And I'm sorry, but you're ok watching Hindu dramas, and reading fanfics, but you're upset that actresses don't wear a scarf on their head, and that Bol and Khuda Ke Liye were not banned?
