Re: Bride and Groom’s Own Dance Number
I believe something that is small, simple and kept in your budget, Nikaah and Walima.
There is no Dholki, Sangeet, Mehndi, Reception ceremonies in Islam. These events were created most probably by kaafirs and have been exercised by muslims who were weak at the time and carried those traditions into today’s society. Every small change eventally becomes normal. So I assume couples dancing is going to be widely accepted by Pakistani, Indian - Muslims if we allow them without a problem now they will probably just become normal and no one will care or bother to correct them due to weakness in Iman and that is how bad habits start. We are all accountable for our own actions ofcourse but imagine if you start it and someone else follows your footsteps you are not only sinning you are opening doors for others to sin. I am not perfect it is just a thought.
Wearing sleeveless, backless, tight clothing, showing ankles all that is also becoming acceptable by muslims because no one honestly cares about Islamic limitations, no one wants to be limited and we forget that having limits will keep us from sinning especially in such small matters like these. They will become accepted by society but not by Islamic definition.
Everyone will be accountable but remember if you start the trend you are as much responsible for yourself as for someone else taking after your actions. Its hard to be a perfect muslim ofcourse that is why our Prophet(saw) is the most loved by Allah we are striving to be like our Prophet(saw) not some hollywood or bollywood actor.
Everyone here I do apologize if I have caused any negative feelings, I am far from perfect I am just as guilty and do desire many worldly things.
