Suratal Nasr-

"When comes the help of Allah
and you will see the people
enter Allah's religion in crowds
Celebrate the praises of the Lord
and pray for his forgiveness
For he is oft-returning in grace
and in mercy".


Just as hip-hop was started by the Pan African/Pan Islamic movements like the Zulu Nation, I believe that the fans of hip-hop (like myself) will soon represent a large block of American society embracing Islam.  We grew up listening to so many rappers expressing Pan-Islam or atleast sympathetic to Islam and Muslims, that we have grown up with favourable views towards Islam.  Even 2pac had a video in 1996 "I Ain't Mad At Ya" in which he gives encouragement to an old friend who converted to Islam.

We already know how many rappers are Muslim, but you will be suprised to find in the coming years how many fans of hip-hop will enter into Islam. 

Look at the kids in school today, they are still trying to skateboard and listening to local rock artists who are no longer mainstream and will soon become irrelevant.  And when it comes to young kids who are into hip-hop, there will always be ignorant hip-hop heads, but not everyone is going to settle for music that has no substance; and a life that has no meaning.  Those who are conscious and are seeking to attain a higher level of conscious will soon embrace Islam as a means of learn knowledge and discipline.

No.  The Qu'ran says nothing against music.  There is report with a weak chain of narration, of the Prophet Muhammad saying something against music, therefore some Muslims do not listen to it.  However, as Muslims we are only obligated to regard as forbidden what Allah has made forbidden for us in the Noble Qu'ran.

Seriously, don't you think it's kind of pathetic that you base your life around what some dead guy says in a book?  I just don't get it.

Shallow:
Hip Hop is also embraces drug dealers, pimps, murderers, and gang members. Much more so than it does Islam. Does that mean that more kids will become criminals.


And the basic Rock and Roll band isn't going anywhere. It's hit bit of a snag but a new sound will emerge in the main stream and get the kids riled up and take over. It's not like no bands sell. In recent years bands like U2, Creed, Nickelback, Greenday, Fallout Boy, and even Good Charlotte have all gone multiplatinum. I may hate all that Emo crap but those bands do alright too. Not to mention i taskes more talent to write and perfrom a mediocre Rock band hit than it does a very good rap song.
