I know its quite emabarrasin as a muslim, but as ramadan is few inches behind d corner, I have 2 confess in order 2 get help, coz I believe we r 2 help each other rite? I luv music, I know its haram!! I listen 2 music 24/7 & finding it difficult 2 stop, its very temptin. I sumtyms get 2 hum in d presence of elders which am not aware of such an act & its bad as well. Its quite bad or should I say very bad & RAMADAN month of piousness :o, Think about it!. Now I would luv 2 give up a passion 4 music in God's sake & give up a vice never return 2 them (I mean I hope so).But ppl how? Nutin seems 2 work :-/ besides I don wan2 end up being those ppl being labelled as jujals & Co.

Assalamu Alikum,
It's such a brave thing for one to comeout here and say his/her problem and that shows how much he believe in us the forum members. i would like us all to think of possibles ways to hel our sis.
My suggestion is that; I have a feeling that first and foremost, u have to check  a few things that u believed muzik do for u, eg. sum people listen 2 muzik when they are down so as to feel better or it's the best way to relax for some. now some of these things will  have to be subtituted with other things. It's not going to  be easy; "coz habits die hard"!! One of the subtitute to that is when u are down u should perform abolutiona dn pray 2 raka'ats, or read the holy Qur'an or The hadith.
Also, having good thots really matters coz when u think alot about muzik the desire for it increases. So why don't u think more of; Oh, have I read da Qur'an? Or how many hadiths have been able to read and understand? that kinda thing u know.
It will be of great help if u can remeber a few Zikr then try to be recoting it more often. there is great reward to he/she who praises the prophet (S.A.W.) often.
There are also a few 'Hausa bege' that are so very sweet when u get 2 hear them and u will madly fall in love with them, am sure it will help.
May Allah help us Ameen.

Assalaam Alaikum,

Wallahi good question you asked sister Ummita ?:). It's hard to just stop listening to music and all but you can implement it gradually...ok here is a thing...when you feel like listening to music, instead of inserting a musical cassette/CD, put on some islamic lecture or Qur'an...the latter is better as it's more soothing and all *smile*. Or as others here suggested read the Qur'an, hadith or do Zikr and instead of humming the music try reciting some verses from the Qur'an (which I know you have memorized some)... I know it can be hard to do all that as you don't even know when you'll just start humming and all...but insha Allah taking it step at a time sai kiga ma it will come to a point that zai zamar maki jiki to be reciting from the Qur'an instead of singing. Ok...I know I have been blabbing and can't stop so I'll just ?:-X...

Ummita, I pray that Allah will relieve you of that habit Insha Allah. *wink*

Ok...anymore confessions ? ;D (kidding)

Salam,
Da fatan an sha ruwa lafiya?!! ;D  I have been thinking since last night as to what other ways are there to STOP listening to muzik! Sister ummita and farouq, u can use this ramadan period change, u c, ramadan period is more like a skool, for insatnce; we were use to eating throughout the day, during ramadan we rgulate it and we are expected to hold on to what we have learnt during the noble month. It also applies to, so many things we excersized stopping during ramadan when we are out of that ramadan school we should matain!!
IMPORTANT!! Prayers are answered quite FAST during ramadan, u guys can use this opportunity to pray so that Allah will help u STOP listening to too much muzik. I shall help u pray too. may Allah help us. Amin.
