Listen to Quran, and lectures

MUSIC IS XARAM

`There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif ( musical instruments ).`

You should be ashamed of yourself, Cold Play iyo Linkin Park is music? Cacuudubillah :!:
I hate when Somali's ridicule others for listening to rock/indie/alternative, rap and all that other stuff is just as foreign to us :!:
The Libertines :rose: , when I started listening to proper music :up:

It is a defense mechanism. Most Somalis, being first generation new immigrants, can't fit in with what is considered white mainstream culture so they resort to those closest to them with which they can identify.
