Pakistan Idols - Where We Are Heading Towards?

Pakistan is not ‘literally’ an Islamic country anymore.

If singing is haram then poetry/ghazals has got to be haram as well. I’m not talking about crap/vulgar songs which are played these days. Singing patriotic songs naghmay/national anthems/ghazals aren’t haram. Musical instruments (excluding duffli) are completely haram.

How about a separate thread in Religion forum concerning singing? Maybe we’ll receive some better replies.

We discussed on this topic in R&S but if you would like then go ahead and open the thread, I’ll participate and it will be like refreshing ourselves again

@Muzna

if music is in fact haram then is it wrong to have ringtones that are songs?

Although it will be appropriate if we discuss it (in details) in R&S Forum.

A very short answer ‘Yes’

@Cheegum

LK bro like many others have pointed out, you need to prioritize what social issues you go after. There are many vices prevalent in our society today and on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being least important) this issue rates at 0.5.

Also, music is being propagated in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan ever since it’s birth. Since the inception of Gupshup in 1969 not a day has gone by when someone hasn’t opened a thread about or talked about music. So why bring this up now?

I believe your contempt for this show is fueled by the fact that the Idol series is copied from American Idol and then Indian Idol. Just like when someone in Pakistan decides to go vegetarian people call them hindu/indian etc.

Bhai mere mein itna bhi sentiment nahi hoon is barain main k yeh series kis se or kaha se copy ho rahi hy nor I have an issue about music or with those who listen or open threads on it.

Let me ask you something, Pakistan Embassy/Consulate is available in your country, right? Have you ever heard or anybody else that these Missions organized an Islamic seminar or something like that? Or financially supported a Pakistani expatriate? Or opened a sub-office for a Pakistani who may help other Pakistanis in sorting out their paper works? Most probably you oftenly heard about holding ‘various singer’s show’ by these Missions, Pakistan clubs etc., and the sponsors who pay huge amount and feel proud being sponsors of such shows but when it comes to help a fellow Pakistani “kisi ki pocket se chawani bhi nahi nikalti”.

I already mentioned a roughly idea about the money spent by Pakistanis but where is the all money gone? Who were the actual beneficials? and in return of this money, what they are giving to our young generation? Be just like an “Idol” and don’t think anything else

Hope you understand what I’m trying to say here
