Aouthu billahi minash-shaytani-ir-rajeem. Bismillah-Ar-Rahman-Ar-Raheem.
I seek refuge with Allah from the accused shaytan. In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
As-salaamu' Alaikum respected brothers and sisters in Islam.
About two weeks ago, I was at my dear Muslimah friend's home and we were just chatting, joking around, and listening to some music. We were listening to the cool, pop music that we always listen to and enjoy. We were listening to some of Rihanna's songs and, for some reson, Naimah told me to stop and listen to the lyrics of some of her songs: Disturbia and Russian Roulette.
I AM NOT POSTING ANY MUSIC VIDEOS, ONLY THE LYRICS! Listen to them and you'll see that the shaytan is bold! These people are dancing to this music in the clubs, and they don't even see the shaytan is controlling them!!!
Disturbia: *removed*
Russian Roulette: *removed*
If you do not want to listen to these songs but just read the lyrics to see for yourself, then I have posted the lyrics for both songs below. The most disturbing parts are highlighted in red. Anyone with ANY sense and a soul can see how creepy and how frightful these lyrics are!.
Disturbia Lyrics:
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
What's wrong with me
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Why do I feel like this
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
I'm going crazy now
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
No more gas in the rig, can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about itAll my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort
Chorus:
Put on your break lights, you're in the city of wonderAin't gon' play nice, watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be alteredSo if you must faulter, be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is the lightDisturbia, am I scaring you tonight
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum [4x]
Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they're talking to me
Disconnecting on calls, the phone don't even ring
I gotta get out or figure this sh** out
It's too close for comfort, oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
I feel like a monster, oh
[Repeat Chorus]
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum [4x]
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to remain tame but I'm struggling
If you can't go, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I think I'm gonna, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Roussian Roulette Lyrics:
Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he (shaytan) says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
Im sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And Im terrified but Im not leavingKnow that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He (shaytan) says close your eyesSometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here means he's never lost (she means shaytan)
(Chorus)
As my life flashes before my eyes
Im wondering will I ever see another sunrise?So many wont get the chance to say goodbye
But its too late too pick up the value of my life
I seek refuge with Allah from the accused shaytan. In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

) I never gave them much thought, although after one inspiring lecture, I made du'aa for Allah (SW) to show me the right path. Although I asked for guidance, I was soon back to my old music habits. But then I started to notice that every time I pressed the "Play" button, I would start off by being blissful for maybe the first few songs? But when i finally decided I had enough and turned off my MP3, I wouldn't be able to rid myself from my feelings of depression, remorse, anger; all these inexplainable emotions that came from Allah knows where. I started to get uncomfortable. But still, I continued to listen to music. However, nothing was the same after that. Every time I begun my playlist, towards the middle I would feel like heaving, so I just turned it off. But still, nothing could ward me off when a new song with an awesome beat came out. I'd listen to it over and over, and then add it to my playlist, just like the ones before. But that's when I started paying attention to the lyrics that came with the beat. Two words. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I did NOT care to hear about what they did in clubs, about how the only important things consist of wealth, music, "love" that starts off in a filthy way and leads to abuse and break-ups. Even so, I gritted my teeth and kept on listening. I really don't remember how long that phase lasted, until I honestly couldn't stand music anymore. So I left it. Plainly put, I didn't feel it anymore, so I left it. Even the "inspirational" and "more appropriate" songs, I left them. Even the need for a blasting beat while sitting with friends or having fun diminished. Fact is, music makes you excited, and it gets people to step out of their comfort zones and be "crazier", which is why teenagers like us especially love to play it when we're with friends, because we think thats what makes a good time. Yeah- we don't need music. Trust me when I say you can have a WAY better time without it, just letting your own real personality though. Because honestly, when the tune stops halfway, all the "partygoers" look like fools. I always thought that Allah (SW) would have to send someone to forcefully tear me from the beauty that was pouring into my ears. No, Allah (SW) made me see through that "beauty" to the ugly side that really does lie quite close to the surface, and made me drag MYSELF off the path I was blindly wandering on by realizing that music (especially the lyrics, now in Satanic verse -_- ) is poison for the mind.
