An Islamic perspective on Mase (a Christian preacher) returning to hip-hop
infinite59:
No one should be suprised. And how is Mase, as a preacher much different from any other rapper? Just cause he doesn't cuss? Is that what Christianity means today, not cussing?
Christianity has dilluted itself so much from it's origional form, and marganalized itself so severely (many Christian churches physically have an American flag raised higher then they raise the cross) nowadays, America's vain and materialistic culture, doesn't stray far from modern Christianity.
"Noble Qu'ran: 4:31 ...."(Women) should lower their gaze and gaurd thier modesty: that will make for greater purity for them; that they should not display their beauty and their ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear. They should draw thier viels over their bosoms and not display their beauty except for their husbands, their fathers, their husbands fathers, their sons, their husbands sons, their brothers or their brothers sons"
For example, as a Muslim (^^^), I thought it would have been considered displeasing to God for Mase to have beautiful women, barely dressed, dancing around, smiling seductively in his video. But then again, that's how women look in church! The preacher's wife and daughter dress like that in chuch! Women put on their "sunday best" (which means a dress that shows cleavage, shoulder's, and legs) and flirt with other men in the congregation. So really that isn't much different than the Mase video.
"Noble Qu'ran 111:2,3-- No profit to him from all his wealth and all his gains...Burnt soon will he be in a fire of blazing flame"[/i]
Also, as a Muslim, I would think promoting materialism, by driving around expensive cars and bragging about money, would be displeasing to God. But then when you think about it, alot of preachers drive around expensive cars. I worked with a preacher and I asked him why he was working an extra job on the side, and he said to save up for this expensive mercedes that he wanted. Really, I don't think materialism is considered a sin in today's revised, capatalist influenced version of Christianity, where they've tried to commericalize Jesus at every turn.
***************
There is a reason why Christianity has strayed so far from it's origional form to where these things are acceptable and fair-seeming. Really, Paul founded Christianity. Christianity was founded many years after Christ's death. Jesus (who really was a man, a human being, a prophet and messenger) prayed to God and asked God for assistance. Jesus only talk and spoke of worshipping God and never, ever, taught others to (stakfer Allah) worship him! Even in the ten commandments of the Old Testament it says "Don't ascribe partners to God!" Jesus never asked to be attributed to a trinity, or given partnership with God. These are fake teachings created by people who have strayed far away from the straight path.
But the Noble Qu'ran, exists today in it's origional form as Allah revealed it to Muhammad. It comes with a guarantee that the Arabic of the Noble Qu'ran will never be corrupted and will be perserved because Muhammad is the last of the messengers and prophets.
***********************
And I don't want to hear any replies about rappers who talk about "Allah" and being "Muslim", because the majority of those rappers are admittedly members of the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths or followers of Minister Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Both of these organizations are admittedly not traditional Muslims, and these are offshoot organizations that promote black nationalism. They don't even claim to represent Islam as it is practiced universally.

Really Hajj, you need to stop tripping off religion, all it does is make people judge each other harshly and it only divides everyone. For instance, i am sure you were a lot more accepting of others before you became a devoted muslim, and i am not saying christians are any better because alot of them are very judgemental as well. Remember that we are all brothers and if you are always judging others you are doing very little to help your fellow man. I know you were once a lost soul (i remember a thread you did about suicide once) and i am happy that you have found a solid base in your life, i hope all is well. But these threads are doing very little for anyone, besides allowing us to see how judgemental and narrow minded you have become........and i am not trying to be an asshole, i wish the best for you, but to be honest this is getting ridiculous. NO hard feelings man, teecee
Mase Is The Future:
Yeah so what Ma$e isn't a muslim, bitch.
Ma$e has beautiful women in his video, but doesn't allow slutty ones.
He says that material things aren't the most important thing on his album.
Shut yo' preachin' ass up.
