Asalaamu alaykum.
My brothers wedding is this weekend and as usual, its a battleground between Islam and culture. One such battle is music - to all asian weddings the usual list of bhangra and bollywood girls turn up with their music cd's of the latest 'hip' and 'fashionable' wedding tracks - these tracks with their catchy beats and sensuous lyrics almost always lead to some wannabe-diva hitting the dance floor with some pre-rehearsed moves from Dil Se or some other bollywood movie.
In this bloody battleground - Islam must win!
How - I need brothers and sisters here to try and find and send me halal Islamic songs that are appropriate to a wedding.
Thus, since we have music, no one can suggest putting their 'mix track cd's' on, and since insha'allah the artists are singing about halal topics - theres not gnna be the next indian j-lo busting her moves during the mhendi.
Brothers and sisters...I need your help! This is jihad!
Please, help me find these tracks!!!
Jazakumullahi khair.
