Many of us seem to spend an incredible amount of time and energy chasing the dream job. Afterall , a bigger paycheck often translates into a better car, a bigger house and a higher worldly social status. But we are warned about this in The Qur’an : “Rivalry in worldly increase distracts you (from the remembrance of Allah), till you come to the graves” (102: 1-2). “Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allah has with Him a great reward.” (64:15). Ever think of the results of all of your worldy efforts? ”It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.” (79:46) Lavish homes and fancy vacations are temporary worldy fixes whereas dedicating time and effort into something that lasts an eternity make more sense, doesn’t it?

Okay so now we know Music is wrong and against the teachings of many scholars but what to do now once someone has acknowledged that? How does someone stop something they have been doing for so long? Often when it comes to stopping something for the sake of Allaah, the troubles or problems faced are due to their love or attachment to that thing or simply an error in their relationship with Allah (S.W.T.).
