🏵️🏵️ The experience you share as a musician in the church resonates with many, highlighting the importance of sincere intention in worship and creativity. In Islam, the pursuit of artistic expression must align with the values of faith and righteousness. Allah says in the Quran, “And we did not create the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in play” (Quran 21:16), reminding us to focus our talents on glorifying Him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Indeed, actions are judged by intentions” (Bukhari). Embrace the beauty of your craft, but let it draw you closer to the essence of worship that Islam promotes.
Thank you, Peggy, for sharing your thoughts—your insights serve as a powerful reminder to reflect on the impact of our expressions.
How can we ensure that our artistic pursuits serve a higher purpose aligned with our faith?
