The Effect of Music VS The Quran on an Apple..

Seorang sepupu saya post entry ni facebook..Sangat-sangat mengetuk pintuhati..moga bermanfaat..

When I started turning towards Islam in university, I was faced with the question of abstaining for music. It was a hard decision but I eventually took the plunge and gave it up. It wasn’t an easy journey for me and I moved back to listening to music, then gave it up only to once again start it again. I finally gave it up completely Alhamdulillah over five years ago (May Allah help me stay on this path).

There are many who would argue that there is nothing wrong with music, it is just another gift of God, etc. The below just serves to confirm to me that my decision was indeed a wise one, an attempt to raise my level of Taqwa, an attribute that needs constant work from our part. As we enter the last ten days of Ramadan, we will need to start the struggle to continue the momentum of Ramadan. For indeed if we were to walk away from Ramadan without a positive change it would be a big travesty on our part. Your positive change could be giving up music. Insha’Allah I hope the below will help you towards this change.

Ramadan Kareem and may Allah (SWT) accept our deeds and have this month serve as time for our forgiveness and for the shower of His mercy.

A few months back, the following email sent to the list serve of Al-Huda Canada was forwarded to another list I am on. The content of the email (reproduced below) was amazing.

Bismillah
Assalamoalaikum wrwb
Few weeks ago my daughter, who is in first grade had a science fair at her school.  We decided to do an interesting experiment.  Our Hypothesis was that listening to Qur’an has physical effects just like listening to music has physically visible effects.  To prove our point we took an apple which also has 60-70 percent water content like human bodies.  We cut the apple into half, put each half in a zip lock bag and then for seven days played Qur’an for one half of the apple and music to another half of the apple .. Both apples were kept on room temperature.  The results were amazing and so our hypothesis was accepted.
In Quran Surah Luqman Allah(s.a.w) says:
And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e.music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, or the Verses of the Qur’an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire).(6)
In surah Yunus Allah SWT says about  Quran:
O mankind! There hath come to you a admonition from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy. (57)
Please look at the attached pictures.  The first picture is of the apple when it was freshly cut. Second picture is after 3 weeks of the experiment.
JazakAllah Khiaran

The above account was amazing. Thus, the staff at Reflections, a school in Karachi repeated the experiment to verify it. Below is the email sent by Asim Ismail, the Islamic curriculum head of the school.

For two weeks the teacher played music in front of half of an apple for 10 mins daily. While qirat was played in front of the other half for the same duration…the pictures speak for themselves (original pictures)…the rotten half is the one which heard music, and the comparatively fresh one was made to listen to Quran’s recitation… SUBHANALLAH! one more amazing thing is the Quran apple has a good smell and the other one u can imagine.



“Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest”
(Surah ar’Ra’d 13:28)

Subhan’Allah. May Allah help us to protect our hearts from corruption and to heal it with the remembrance of Allah (SWT) and the recitation of the Quran. Aameen.

Kami memohon pada-Mu..

Mohon dengan sangat wahai Tuhanku,

Dari sudut hati kami yang paling dalam

Kalau kekasih-Mu masih berada bersama-sama kami,

Akan terlunaslah segala hutang dan semakin hampirlah dengan haruman Baginda,

Sebelum hilangnya rasa yang meronta-ronta,

Untuk berada hampir dengan kekasih-Mu.

 

Berada bersama Baginda jiwa turut menjadi harum,

dan apa jua yang kalian doakan kepada Allah akan diperkenankan,

Cahayan Nabi Muhammad tidak akan pernah sirna,

Sempatkanlah kami bertemu dengan Baginda..

Wahai Tuhan yang memperkenankan doa hamba.

Hidayah-Mu kepada alam merata meluas,

Tanda hampir kasih sayang Tuhan pemberi hidayah,

Hadith-hadithmu ibarat sungai mengalir jernih,

Berada di sisimu bagaikan dahan yang tumbuh segar dan basah,

Ku tebus diriku dengan dirimu,

Wahai kekasihku Nabi Muhammad yang mulia, yang asing..

Berada berhampiranmy jiwa menjadi harum,

Wahai yang diutuskan sebagai tanda kasih sayang Tuhan kepada seluruh alam..

Wahai kekasihku..

Wahai Muhammad..

Wahai doktor hatiku..

Wahai yang dipuja-puja..

Dirimu memiliki kelebihan yang diakui oleh Tuhan yang turut berselawat keatasmu.....

Why We Dislike Death??..

"but for somebody who is investing all of their money and their effort and time in building for themselves a better life in AKHIRAH for these they would love to go from this world to the AKHIRAH....

Why we dislike death..by Anwar al-Awlaki..

Persepective..

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people
live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have
a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go
beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to
protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would
happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of
worrying about what we don't have..

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your family and friends!

Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their
perspective and appreciation.
