I looked at the title of the video and thought, "why would someone do that, music is beautiful" but i get it now. I never actually thought about it from this perspective. having a form of media playing during any dull task has become such a habit, it's engraved into me. but you're right. The reason i was so creative and innovative as a child was because i had to fill the silence on my own, i've been asking myself were that spontaneous creativity went over the years now that i'm studying art. I think i figured it out now, thank you :) i'm going to tune into the world more from now on ;p
@@woopazipper The Arabic Oud is played throughout the Islamic world. It also has many derivatives played in the Islamic world. As well, it spread through Asia and Europe as the Lute and has become the forefather of most stringed instruments in the world today. In Spain it became the Vihuela, which led to the Classical and Flamenco guitar. Islam can take credit for spreading stringed instruments around the entire world, but ironically, now Islam forbids music? It's more likely that fanatic fundamentalists such as the Taliban forbid music, but not the entire Islamic world.
@@BobOortArab ≠ Islam We don't take Islam through arab culture, we take Islam from the quran and sunnah of our prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which forbids music. Arabs used to bury female children too, until islam came and put an end to many such practices. I hope you have the decency to at least respect someone's religious beliefs without outright rejecting and making stuff on your own
@@BobOortSahih al-Bukhari 5590 Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of *musical instruments*, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection
I am surprised that many people are afraid to be left alone with their thoughts. In the modern world there is too much information available, we all need a rest
@@thehumanchris haven't watched the video yet but I just wanted to share my story quick. I have cut back on music A LOT. Im huge into techno and happy hardcore dnbtrancebreaksetcetc. Lots of very energizing music. I have to be careful when I choose to listen to it because it can get me all pumped up and jumpy when I need to, at that time, be chill and relaxed. I only really listen to music before I go workout now.
I’d say I’m not afraid to be alone with my thoughts since I do that when I don’t have music. But I feel rather bored, idk, I love music and basically blasting it through my brains. But I’m not listening to music because I’m scared to be a lone with my thoughts. I see this comment a lot, and I feel like most people aren’t afraid to be alone in silence, but it’s just boring. Rosie ally when you can listen to your favourite music. I mean sometimes I’ll just sit there with no music, maybe not for very long, but I don’t put my headphones on because I can’t be alone by myself. And I also understand that listening to music probably isn’t that good for you tbh. I mean I had like 167,000 minutes in 2020 on Spotify. And it’s been decreasing ever since then to like 55,000 minutes now, which is a huge decrease. -and even then each day I put on a 15 minutes timer on the Spotify sleep timer, so it’s a decent amount less. Anyways, it’s not about being afraid, I think it’s about boredom and usually people being overstimulated, or getting used to being overstimulated.
I'm kinda on the same boat my brain doesn't want to just relax so I'm going overtime crazy thoughts so sometimes I end up bored and that makes me sad and that ruins shit so I use music to help me not go crazy.
As a songwriter, I can become so inundated and obsessed with a project that I find sometimes I need to step away from any and all music for a few days just to clear and reset my brain so I can refresh my perspective. I can only make it a few days though, I love music way too much to go any longer than that

@@RozaMcdad I’ve got permanent tinnitus, meaning that it’s always there. Although, I think that this could be a misunderstanding about it, it varies a lot. For example, when I woke up yesterday it was really loud, a lot more than usual. Today, however, it was pretty normal. Another thing about that I don’t think people understand, is that sometimes (pretty randomly), another, higher, louder pitch is added for a few minutes. The best thing about it is that you don’t really have to focus on tuning it out, as if I’m hearing a noise that’s louder than my tinnitus, then I have to focus to notice it. However, in those quiet moments, like trying to sleep or those same quiet drives, it’s pretty noticeable. Protect your ears!
I used to blast music in the car. Like BLAST BLAST. Being a young adult now, i realize, that it decreases my awareness when driving for example. I still listen to music while driving, but not as loud as I used to. What's your experience related to what you're saying?
I didn't notice that you had 481 subscribers. I was dumbfounded by the cinematography and the writing, it's awesome! Also, what a great camera you have! And yes, this has definitely left something on me. I need to appreciate the serenity and (sometimes) quietness of life without technology bothering us. Awesome video!
😅 I just read the title and started watching the video without listening to anything he was saying. The video felt cinematic to me. Indeed I say yes to music only during my work hours and nowhere else. Especially consuming media while eating is a big NO I suggest others.
im starting to notice life without music and its actually very peaceful. i like listening to the shuffling of my movements and the pattern of my breathing. music is a huge part of my life though and i love it so much.
life really is so peaceful without music! like when you stop to just listen to the ambience of it all. taking slow breaths and observing everything. so much beauty in it all. love that you can relate to this. music is a huge part of my life too
I’ve been thinking about this a lot at the moment. As someone who depends on music but also gets quite overstimulated by sound I’ve been finding the balancing shifting to overwhelming a lot more. Part of me is scared to sit in silence or even create in silence
@@wekonoschosen Music is haram. Fullstop. When Allah mentions that something is Haram, then we stick to what he says, otherwise, we will go to Hell, simple. We say in this day and age - 'everything is good in moderation,' when science has proven that, for example, Alcohol is toxic, and bad for the body. Can lead to many issues, including brain damage. The only reason you say Islam sucks, is because everything in this day and age is corrupt. Because there is so much corruption, and so much Haram, it looks like Islam sucks, when in reality, Islam saves us from comitting so many sins, and getting into so much trouble with them (eg, Adultery, Drugs/Alcohol, etc). Islam saves us, despite it seeming like a religion that 'sucks'.
You are talking about extreme amounts of music listening. I never understood people who are nonstop on the headphones, while walking, biking, picnic in nature and so on. For me that was always too destructing, I always enjoyed more the surrounding, nature, people, city at those moments.
That's beautiful! I wouldn't say I listen to extreme amounts of music, like compared to musicians it's definitely less, but i also listen more than the regular person. It just sets the mood very well for whatever i'm doing. But I also realise that sometimes I definitely listen to too much of it. I try to fill in every gap with some sort of an energy. I made this video to reflect that idea and it's actually really cool to see that a lot of people enjoy the mundane sounds of every life, the nature, environments, city and everything else
Agreed it feels like neglecting nature, we listen to music for a certain mood or to imagine a certain thing, utter nature all around us and the sounds of nature or artificial machinery can also give those other worldly feelings.
the amount of shots in here are impressive, and they're all taken within a small circle of our home. Loved the way you documented the things and places that you see on a daily basis. Also, great message and I absolutely agree, you gotta quiet your environment to listen to your mind. Great video as well Chris :)
thank you Karam! i definitely put a lot of thought into having multiple angles and shots of the same location. nice to see someone notice and appreciate it :)
@@sadiasultana2236 videos are like music but even more addicting and distracting. So if music takes you away from your god, then if video is even better at it it should be more haram. Also a lot of youtube videos has or is music in itself. Of course in practice you should moderate and filter what you watch. But of course most people believe only in extreme measures just like they have extreme beliefs.
Lot of people underestimate the effect of silence , but only few people understand how necessary it is to cut out the noise from a world full of distraction and sink into the thoughts in mind , face it for real and start gaining true momentum towards their goals

music has a profound effect on us. It is always better not to get addicted to anything, music wasn't easy or available back in the day for listening always but since the invention of headphones we got 24 hrs music playing out in our ears all the time, I feel silence is more beautiful than everything, the time spot when we can actually connect and get more in spiritual with life even if it's 5 mins a day.
so true! music really wasn't as available and easily accessible back then, as it is now. and i find it really beautiful that you think silence is better than everything. i think it's important that more of us, which are addicted to music (in the best way possible), to embrace silence more and more
Silence is really beautiful. Subtle things like door opening, birds chirping, kettle boiling, your own breath, it's all there for a reason. We just aren't made to be listening to or watching things 24/7. Our brain needs to rest and think about life. Also, Jesus Christ loves you. He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊
I'm a professional musician and I have trained myself to turn off the music (or de-focus) the musical thoughts that constantly create themselves in my mind. It may sound counter-productive, but it is important to have silence in the mind as well as external devices.
It's actually so true, I absolutely hate the uncomfortable thoughts I have when I don't have music on, it's scary to me at times. Which is why it is even more important for me to get out of this shell I built around myself with a constant source of media and just sit or walk alone for a while. Thank you for this lovely video!
Thank u for this , Since I am a Muslim, I can find the difference between life with music and without music During Ramadan, I quit music for a whole month The results were fantastic No more daydreaming, no more distraction, just focus on goals, studying, and clarity of mind I began to start my day actively, instead of wasting my energy on loud, loud noises. I began to listen to the sound of nature, the sound of birds, and become aware of everything around me and feel its presence and address to me.
I did the same thing until this year, I struggled with listening to music, mostly because I had unprocessed emotions, which triggered uncomfortable feelings about the past when I listened to music. This year, I listened to a little more music, reframed, still reframing… and I think it’s working, I mostly listen to jazz or music in languages I don’t understand so that I am only focused on the beats. TMI, but thought I should share 😊
Wow. That is suuuuper interesting, thank you so much for sharing a part of your story. I never thought someone can have it the other way around, but I love learning from others and their experiences. It's definitely interesting to hear, thank you once more for sharing 😊
I somewhat agree with you...but to be honest, when I feel sad or lonely...and then I listen to music that reminds me of my childhood...or music whose words accurately describe my feelings...I feel a lot better! . Music creates memories for us. And reminds us of people. It expresses feelings and emotions more than anything else. I agree with you that I should not wear headphones all the time. But when walking or exercising. If you put on headphones, you will feel more motivated. In the end, everyone does the things that make them feel comfortable,
I heard someone say you when you wake up don’t listen to any music. Listen to like a motivational podcast, audio book for a little and have it silence untold it’s like 1pm. Bc your mind is fragile early in the morning. I tried it and honestly man I felt good. Bc I’m undisciplined I fell back into the cycle of bad habits but imma do it tm when I wake up
this. the major difference I have found after quitting major social media apps is - listening to less music. as someone who needs a saviour playlist for every crisis in their life and those specifically curated monthly playlists, it honestly helped me enjoy & appreciate music much more. feels really nice to have my thoughts wander in my mind because it felt really foreign before and scary as much as I was mostly very flighty. now whenever I am bombarded with any content and just too much information, especially those short form dopamine-hitting content, my mind becomes aware of it and I just skip them and continue with my day.
What a beautiful neighborhood you have got there I must say! Actually agree with all that said! Also another great thing is to either not take phone with you, or disable notifications/put it somewhere, where it would not be comfortable to take out (like a bag). It also helps to not get distracted and think for a while! Thanks for the video!
i'm surprised this doesn't have more views. i deeply resonate with this video because i recently lost my only earphones and i currently can''t afford new ones... so i've been commuting in silence for the past couple of weeks. i realised how i'm so much more present and in tune with myself since i've stopped listening to music all the time. we need to learn to be with ourselves again.
For real , I was thinking about the same thing for quite a while not because of music but social media it was irritating me, making my schedule look busy then I realised , I wasn't giving myself enough time.doing nothing for a while just relaxing, It helps me make things clear. Your video really did a great job at explaining that.
in islam its taught to us that music can be harmful and bad for the brain i honestly dont rmmbr why but probably bc of the negative words that are in most songs or rather because the vibrations from some instruments are harmful for the brain function, i listen to heavy metal and such an addict to rock, i quit listening to music for 2 weeks approximately and ive noticed actually how creative and mindful i honestly started focusing very well in studying and some more creative ideas just popped up in my head and so on i knew this was probably the impact of quitting music for quite some time although i still listen to some chill songs every now and then cause it just makes me feel good and makes me move my body (ps when my depressing thoughts occur i just listen to some calm quran)
Listening to music also distances you from the remembrance of God and it’s true. I would constantly have lyrics in my head before but that’s pushing me away from the purpose of existence which is to worship God. Now instead I have clearer and more creative thoughts and am in general more grateful about simply existing. I’ve picked up a new hobby which is to listen to Quran and ponder over its translations on TH-cam. 100% wouldn’t be able to experience this if I was still listening to music
Distance you from remembering the god (allah) is not 100% true It depend on the use I heard music for years and I didn't forget allah That's because I'm not using it alot And I don't hear songs that can have bad behaviors I'm still grateful to allah But what I'm trying to say You can't blame a thing that it's your fault with Just like blaming burger that made you fatter Insha allah you understand brother Look the quran is more beautiful But that doesn't mean we have to ban music The music have purposes either (depend on use). It's not because music makes you hate quran, You are just addicted with it Just like video games don't make you pray in time And in the last blaming the video games. Again: I'm not saying this because I want you to get alot with music It's ok it's your choice to not hearing music But I'm saying this because it bothers me that you are blaming a thing that you didn't use it right and the others believe it without notice And have a nice day brother
@@ZarellanGamer by distancing you from the remembrance of Allah I mean instead of doing istighfar you might start saying lyrics. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah: “Never do the love of song and the love of Qur'an come together in a person’s heart except that one expels the other.” I do understand where you are coming from though. May Allah guide us all
Yeah that's the good part I did istigfar alot And yeah when ibn qayyim said that It just felt like he said "never do love of showering and love of drinking water" Because ibn qayyim don't know anything about the benefits of hearing music/songs. sadly some elders "شيوخ" is being extermist and blaming the thing instantly instead of know what is it, There was an elder blaming that PUBG is haram His reason of making it haram was "because it makes you play in college" (yes he said something like that). The music/song is different and quran is different either It's just the addiction that made you not reading quran Like video games when you are addicted with You won't pray in time And ameen brother (I'm muslim either) But not being extremist @@Hadithoftheday247
I'm not going to stop listening to music completely, especially since I'm a musician, but I am going to find ways of listening to silence more. Thank you for this insightful video.
@@PySnek It's not about distraction, we are not allowed to watch videos with any haram elements in it. Of course that has a wisdom behind it, but we as muslims don't watch them because Islam has told us to do so, and we believe Islam and trust Allah fully. Anything that's haram in Islam, you'll find it harmful for yourself somehow.
@@khalid6hai Islam told you to buy smartphones and watch TH-cam? Common man, be honest with yourself here. We all know that it alters our lifes in a bad way to constantly consume media. Same goes for the internet in general and especially social media.
@@PySnek Islam doesn't prohibit buying smartphones and watching youtube. Islam prohibits using them in a bad way. Bro before arguing gather some knowledge, I don't think you know anything about Islam. Even if you're against it, you should be knowledgeable before
i love the way you direct your videos and have visually appealing footage combined with your engaging script and calming, gentle voice. I can definitely tell you put much thought into your videos.
Awe John that is so nice of you. Absolutely. A lot of thought go into these and there's so much i have to push around to make them, but they are very fulfilling and i love the artform itself. Your comment meant a lot, thank you for seeing me 💛
As a someone who is literally addicted to music its so hard for me to even imagine this, and whenever im going out or something I don’t bring my phone but i still sing the songs , music is always in my head 24/7 , and the fact that im Muslim and its haram its extremely hard and sad for me , but I actually don’t think i will ever stop listening to music, I cant live without it i dont see any reasons why I should live in a world without music But anyways i loved this video and im so happy for you ❤
Music addiction is a real thing because it's like a drug, we use it to escape the pressures of our realities instead of facing them. I've realized that music was a huge part in my mental health, not in helping it but making it worse when I thought it was helping because it was serving as an escape for me so now I cut off all that music and just listen to things that bring me peace and a realistic happiness. Been listening to a lot of songs about God lately. There's this song I really like because it's like the artist is having a real talk with God in a sad moment and there's so much hope in it that it actually uplifts me. It's called Where I'm Gonna Be by Mia Rio. She's not a big artist yet but totally worth it.
Bro how is this channel not above million subscribers yet the quality is insane and those charming shots the sun and the playground 😭😭😭 hope you reach 1mil soon
Here is a great test to see if you have a problem with media. When you sit down for your next dinner, just sit and eat. No reading, t.v., pad, phone…….nothing. Just you, in your kitchen, eating. If you’re uncomfortable, you might not know how to be with yourself.
What an insightful video and script too! Images super delightful, I feel inspired to go out and film myself on the streets too. But I am still shy/afraid that someone will just take my camera from me hahah! The message, still your mind to find yourself! I resonate 100% and I am glad we are reflections to each other for these human experiences! You are so appreciated Chris! Lots of love
awee thank you Gigi 💛 As someone who constantly loves learning and being entertained, shutting all of that off, unless in nature, feels weird. But i've been able to think more clearly in days where i didnt occupy my mind with anything externally. ALSO! You should definitely go outside and film some stuff. I've also had to push myself out of my comfort zone to do it, but its always very gratifying and pushes your creativity :)
jokes on you i use music in an active way, lots of utility, lots of enjoyment. and that i block time for complete silence and whatnot. there's room for both. the problem is being passive!!! great vid!
As a musician, I had to watch this and I actually agree with your view. In my case, I make so much music that I started listening less and less to other's music - simply to enjoy the silence every now and then. I don't listen to music on the bus or in the gym and some people say that's crazy. I find it relaxing. Silence is just another form of sound/music if you will.
Well everyone is different I don’t listen music all day I only listen when I want vibe or feel uplifted but that me not you so this topic is mainly about individualism not how you should listen to music
I love the style of your video. Just normal everyday scenes, impressions and feelings, no background music or fast cuts. And in a quality, that it seems like I just lived that moment as well
I love music, I always believe that it is what gives my life meaning, especially when i discover new albums all over the world thanks to the help of youtube algorithm, I used to try to fill every menial gap with a song playing in the background, music is a wonderful thing that always lifts me up, I was initially quite taken aback by the video title wondering why someone would stop enjoying such a great medium, after watching your video, I have to agree, silence is a pretty important thing to have especially in the busy modern world, in silence is when my brain is the most active, I get to introspect and organize my own thoughts, I would still listen to music cause its such an important part of my life, but I would not force myself to listen to it 24/7 and leave some time for silence through the day.
This video changed my perspective for real . The cinematography, silence in the background, yours voice over, this short video was beautifully made. I wish you make a whole video series like this.
Your video came to me and it was so surprising. It felt like you had listened to me talking about my problems and the advice you gave me was so suitable. For the last 2 months, I have been trying to learn how to enjoy the silence. No music, no podcast, no TV just pure silence. My life circled itself around noises, one of my biggest fears was to be alone, so to prevent it I filled the air around me with noises. Before I even knew, I was drowning in it, the constant feeling of tiredness and sleepiness was ruining my mood. Your video helfed me to find the safety of silence again. From now on I will not take my headphones when going on a walk, instead I will take a notebook and a pen! Thank you a lot.
I came back to this video months after first watching it to posit something. A problem I and many other Gen Z members have had is losing our love for reading. I personally would regularly read nearly a thousand pages of something per week in middle school. I was almost always reading something new. The process of starting and finishing a lengthy fantasy novel would fill me with an enriching wave of catharsis the moment I flipped the final page. As I got older and started gaining access to shinier forms of entertainment like smartphones, Computers, and game consoles, books started to lose their alure. As I grew to an age when I could spend all my time with screens and music and noise, I forgot books entirely and chose to just do that. For over five years I nearly constantly had some type of noise in the background be it music or a show I've seen a dozen times. I would decide which adult swim cartoon I was gonna put on before I went to bed because I even grew to need it in my sleep. I've somewhat recently been getting back into reading again, this year I've been warming up by reading something I know and love and reading something new in an alternating patten. But for the first few books while I did it I would have Futurama or Family Guy or something playing in the same room. It wouldn't really be much of a distraction, it only very occasionally pulled my attention away from my book. The majority of the attention was still on the book. But there was still something missing, something that I came to miss from the reading experience I remembered as a child. I went to revisit Eragon after reading The Alchemist for the first time. I must have read it half a dozen times in my life, the rest of the series maybe three times. I thought back to how much it influenced 12 year old me, thought about how awesome it felt to first read it when it was the newest, freshest, SHINIEST thing in my life. The writing has been critiqued by many and for decent reason, it's somewhat simple and easy to read and takes common tropes from many existing series. But I think it's great, even if it's technically considered middle school reading level despite the author trying his best to throw in overly big and lesser known words where they don't fit. I thought about WHY it had been so special to me again, and realized it was because at one time it was all I had. I had been struggling to lose myself in a book's world more so than ever simply because all the other things around me were constantly pulling me out. One weekend I hit the power button on my TV and sat down to read in silence. Not since I was forced to as a kid had I ever just read a book in complete silence. For the first time in years I could simply just flow along without it feeling forced. What had grown to become a chore had once again become something fresh and shiny again. I found myself looking forward to when I'll have another few minutes to read Eragon. And when I finished, instead of feeling relieved it was over I wanted to pick up another book. I felt an Intense wave of nostalgia for when I wasn't being bombarded by short term stimulation 24/7. I would compare it to eating a nice meal when you're actually hungry versus after you've been snacking all day. It won't be as enriching of an experience to your mind, it will only serve as extra bloat on the information in your brain. My appetite for mental stimulation has been stoked again, for once in a long time I'm actually hungry for good media off all kinds.
MAN WHAT THE HELL! ONLY 5K SUBS? The love and passion you put in your video is equivalent to a 1M sub channel. Congratulations. In the past month i was realising that music was a "toxic" treat to me because I was always lasting to it, even just for wash the dishes which takes only 10 minutes or to just wake up. I'm gonna try to put a stop with this thing. And this video helped me to decided to do it at least. So thank you!. Have a great day!
Ahhhh dude im reading this and it's so heartwarming, really, thank you. It makes me so happy that the video feels that way to you. I've also noticed that sometimes I just can't even hear my own thoughts cuz im listening to music all the time. Like with everything, it's all about tthe balance. Have a great day too!
Dude…I’m right with you. Been thinking about this a lot and all of the sudden here you are on my feed. Never even heard of you in my life. Instant subscribe man.
That's one of the reasons why Allah made music Haram in Islam Really, you feel peace, you live more in reality and n you have more connection with yourself and the wold around you ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. It really opened my eyes, made me think what am I doing with my life, is this what I wanted to achieve is this what I dreamt about. Now I feel like I can live again with a brand new story and a brand new journey which will make me fall in love with myself and everything around me again.
In Islam, listening to music is haram "not allowed", I've been always see a negative effect on us as humans. I just know that Allah who create us knows very well what is good for us as a human or on the whole society.
No both of them are haram and you can search about this and there where a hadith talking about this. In my opinion, energy and positive music as you said it just makes us happy for moments and then you back to reality and back to everything. you can get this by listening or reading a quran, it makes everything peaceful and makes sense. or doing sports. so you'll start to feel the real life and find stuff that really makes you happy and not haram or damage your mental health by the time. anyways, my opinion is not important when it comes to halal or haram we just try as we can to follow Allah’s commands and avoiding His prohibitions and ask him to help us doing this. @@brawlerpro5829
@brawlerpro5829 If you insist on doing something haram, do it yourself without lying to others and claiming it is OK to do it. The prophet peace be upon him said in an authentic hadith "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful."

I love the way you captured the cityscape in this video! You perceived a very important message, however I just couldn't help but gasp at the views of your surroundings, this made me feel so nostalgic and wholesome, looks so european, reminded me to appreciate my home more
Thank you!! Cinema and cinematography is one of my favorite things and its nice to see it being received so well by you 💛 I'm happy you also enjoyed the message and what i had to say. Video was shot in Berlin, where I'm based. Where is your home?
@@thehumanchris somehow I just felt that it was filmed Berlin:) Not because I saw a particular place which I know, but just through the vibe in your video:) I must say your short takes on your surroundings somehow captured it perfectly. I used to live in Berlin and even though it was two years ago, your video took me back to many walks during which I couldn't stop admiring the beauty of the city - which was best visible in regular, but somehow quiant streets, rows of trees by the sidewalks, small, local restaurants, in the laughs of children playing in the playgrounds between the blocks. Even though I didn't live there for a long time, Berlin holds a special place in my heart and I could really feel its energy in your video - very wholesome feeling, once again, thanks for that:) Currently I live in my homeland, Poland, which I also love and can see so many small, special things about here, just by watching my regular, but again, special everyday surrondings and all the little details that come with them. Your video is a reminder to do so more often:)
Thank you for your video. I may not completely stop listening to music, but I have stopped listening to podcast for almost 4 years now after a severe burnout. I felt too overwhelmed to get even a few more advice/self-improvement hacks or whatsoever. It took me months and years to fully recovered and I became more concious of what I consume... yes, I mean all content I consume, books, texts, knowlege-related media, music, movies, series, etc... I realized that learning by ears is not my thing, and listening to podcast does not help me at all. These days I enjoy to read and if I want to get deeper on something, I just buy a course and deep dive into the topic. I may not listen to music all the time like I did in the past, but I now know when to stay in silence and when to use the benefits of the sound. The music is nice and the silence is beautiful too as it gives space and opportunity to listen to ourselves more clearly.
Very awesome my friend. Yeah.. music can have a profound impact on us, just because it affects many MANY parts of our brain. But it also gives us dopamine. Sometimes, deliberately tuning out from them is helpful to see what we already have in front of us. Being present. Well edited. Very peaceful and calming. ❤
Nature sounds outdoors is enough. I have written some great work in complete science. If you need music to stimulate your mind then there is a problem.
So Music is actually forbidden to listen to in Islam. People dont understand how terrible it is to have something that amplify your emotions, how tiring, and how energy destroying that could be. you get a bunch of high moments while listening but the rest of your day is gone. And if you listen to it all the time then watch how long you sleep and still end up waking up tired. Stop filling your mind with empty bs and start listening to the world and nature and yourself and reading good books or hearing good talks instead. For me I fill my mind with Quran instead.
I relate to this heavy. Any time I have to just relax I realize my brain has room to think clear, and even think new ideas. I am going to start reminding myself to do this more, thank you for this video.
When apple ear phones were first out, and people wore them in public, I used to wonder what people were drowning out - their thoughts or the world around them. You’ve done a brilliant job of explaining this, and for showing that we can listen to our own thoughts, or silence, and it’s not a bad thing. Thank you!
i see a big difference between social media and music. I see social media as dopamine hits, constant bombardement of information. But music is like listening to art. A beautiful song can make me wonder about life, just like all genres of paintings can.
Music will go on forever, meaningful music I mean. It will outlive all of us. I look for beautiful melodies in music too, but lyrics.. this is the deal breaker.
@@bsnf-5 to me that heavily depends on the genre: If you're listening to love songs then lyrics are very important. Listening to rap, lyrics is the most important: the sometimes beautiful rhymescemes outmatch any other genre.
@@tommy-g5k I am very picky when it comes to rap and I don't listen to it normally. Not my style. Even when I so, it better be some American native gangsta black rap. Almost everything else in that genre is irrelevant.
Been struggling with music addiction for the last 25 years, and don't think I'll ever have the answers. It's great to see people making videos about it nowadays; it's become a known issue. What a joy to have discovered your channel today; please keep making these beautiful, inspiring videos.
I read your name after your comment, it made me giggle. I would suggest you to quit it slowly rather than all at once, make a tasks list (anything like watching a chunk of tutorial, doing certain number of pushups, buying groceries, washing your socks etc..) and start rewarding yourself with a song after completing these small tasks. Always keep the tasks that you despise the most at the top priority. Use your addiction for your benefit.
And remember, always be true to yourself only. If you lie to yourself a lot and don't fulfill the promises that you make to yourself than you'd always find yourself running away from reality in the form of addiction. It's okay to fall short sometimes, just apologize to yourself and move on.
Oh, praise be to God.. In my Islamic religion, God tells us and commands us not to listen to music because He is our Creator, so He knows that music is harmful to the heart and gives a beautiful feeling temporarily, then the effect of drugs disappears, and this will cause real fatigue... Oh, thank God for the blessing of Islam. God commands us to listen to the Qur’an and understand it. It calms the human soul and reassures the heart. It is truly special. I recommend this clip to you. th-cam.com/video/zbse_7rMJnk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TDK4YbeDT-7nWnWY
I too have been thinking about quitting music since last few days because I've noticed that it has become something that creeps in every task that I do and now I realise how this habit of constant external influence in the form of music has affected my ability to mindfully engage in a task. And today this video pops up in my feed and I instantly clicked on it and now thanks to you, now my motive behind quitting music has been solidified even more. Thank you!
When I was in school, music took over all connections, people would just stop talking and put on music until people just stop talking and then no one had any friends, and me and my siblings was considered weird cause we didn't do that we sat around and talk and laughed.
Beautiful video! I totally agree with this concept. I biked to the city center yesterday without any music and appreciated much more my surroundings and how pretty my city (Amsterdam) is. Thanks!
Hey Dave! I love Amsterdam. I was just there 2 weeks ago, but I often go back because of how much I love it there. I'm happy you got something out of this video, sending hugs from Montreal 🇨🇦
As a Muslim, I am very grateful to you because you found the appropriate way to explain the idea of not listening to music to non-Muslim people. Now I can discuss and argue with many of my friends with strong arguments at my disposal.❤
Brilliant yet simple. A man who professes something and does it. Practicing what he preaches. The dearth of music in the background is splendid. It’s quite nice to just hear what is there, and not what might add to the mood. Silence is often true, good, and beautiful
I love your videos oh my goodness. I am still a kid in high school so there is a lot of pressure on me and it is really a struggle to take any time to just exist without feeling guilty, but I know it would be so much better if I could. I have music in my ears all the time but I remember when I was a child I would 'do nothing' quite a lot, free of music or any other media; I was very much the head-in-the-clouds type. I wrote poems and stories and drew a lot because back then I didn't yet know the constant overhanging pressure to be productive and I had infinite time and inspiration and didn't have to justify taking time to do things I wanted to do that would not get any external validation. I also have ADHD which makes this pressure to be productive extra crushing because so often I try so hard and still can't make expectations I have for myself as informed by neurotypical standards. Anyway, I love your videos, I definitely feel like I am on the right side of youtube now because although I was procrastinating watching this video, it didn't feel like a waste of time at all :)
As a Muslim, Islam forbids listening to songs that contain music and contain bad lyrics because they only distract the heart. They control our feelings freely. If you listen to a sad song, you suddenly start thinking about all the bad events that happened to you in your life. Then you listen to an enthusiastic song and feel that you are full of energy and you will accomplish everything you have. Now, then you listen to meaningless songs that only contain insults or bad scenes, and I don’t know why they listen to them. Actually, everything that Islam forbids is harmful. It is forbidden for us to eat pork. There are many studies that have proven that it is actually bad. How can I eat the meat of an animal that feeds on waste, and also Alcohol is forbidden. It only kills the mind. How many accidents or misfortunes happen just because a person was not conscious. Islam also forbids suicide. It also forbids adultery and touching the opposite sex or mingling with them. Tattooing is also forbidden. Why would I change the way my Lord created me when He created me already beautiful? And why would I distort my beautiful body? I feel... Truly proud and grateful to be a Muslim. I know that I was created to worship God and build this earth and make it better, not just for the sake of fooling around and harming myself and others.
Love this, I started doing this, going out do my daily days chores without headphones on, sitting in the underground train or a public area without my escape. Because I realized for me listening to something is also a method for me to feel safe and secure. And also the feeling of being overwhelmed with new sounds and information through podcasts, music and so on. Yesterday I had a situation where I received a message that was uncomfortable and my first urge was it to put on my headphones and listening to something to not feel that emotion. I realised I did this so often, the moment I feel uncomfortable and don't Wana think about something I distract myself instead of solving it within my self and really allowing all my feelings and thoughts. And also the loss of the beauty that is around me through noise, people talking, animal sounds, traffic sounds, crying/laughing babies, street art/music. Random people talking to me. All of this beauty I missed every day. I try to corporate that into my daily routines. After that listening to music feels much more special and I can really enjoy my TV shows and TH-cam videos. It thought me so much going into the world without distraction. I realised that I started singing sometimes or even talking to my self haha. I really enjoy and appreciate my own company more though this "exercise". I realised I did all of this constant listening to entertainment also as a way of not being with myself fully, it was a thing to fill my feeling of loneliness but I actually feel less lonely since I started more connected to myself and the outer world.❤ For me this is a journey to self-love and self appreciation, being really in the moment with my self and embracing feelings like loneliness and anxiety instead of pushing them away with distractions and learning to really appreciate the entertainment as a whole the music the podcasts...
Boredome is something that humans try to avoid so adementely that we forgot it has a purpose. We are meant to consume, to create, and to think. We are NOT just made to consume. I deleted social media from my phone a few weeks ago and the sense of joy I can get from such little things is so refreshing. This is how things were when I was a kid! You can just sit down with a book, or a mundane task, or the preparation or enjoyment of a meal. Its much nicer to live one's life than trying to distract yourself from it constantly. You might have a life that you might WANT to be distracted from, but remember those distractions only stop you from making your situation better in the first place. It feels incredible to get things done and problem solve your way through and reach your goals.
I wouldn’t say there’s a “best religion” because in my opinion that’s messed up, instead I would say all religions are equal and should be treated equally
In fact, in Islam, listening to music is forbidden, and the details of this matter have not been delved into. Many Muslims or people of other religions have always wondered why this matter exists, even though we have preconceptions about the matter, such as that it causes a lack of concentration, and the abundance of songs causes depression, and also the bad emptiness when you finish from Hearing a good song, you search for more and more. Also, most of the songs contain bad, obscene and addictive lyrics. We have a rule, which is that nothing is forbidden without a reason, and everything that is forbidden is harmful to us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We must really stop living our lives with music. We enjoy natural sounds
"the details of this matter have not been delved into"- No, plenty of people thought about that already, and it's easy to understand that's because music takes away muslims' time/attention to submit to their god. 5 pray sessions a day, what else ... Anyway, if humans were born just to do exactly the same thing, we aren't much different from chickens: bred, fed, grown up, then die lol
I’m a muslim too and i do my best to become better each day. Although i do believe not all music or songs are forbidden. I used to play the piano as a teenager and it gave me so much joy and confidence, and i used to recite the quraan in a mosque on a weekly basis, there was once this open questions discussions for the teachers and i asked them about music, they told me it matters “ which type” and it’s impact on me and those around me. I do agree with you that many songs have bad lyrics with cursing and body description, and promoting a bad influence in general specially genres like rap and r’n b. But others, have sensational instrumental solos, deep retrospective words, and a piece of art that gives you good feelings, lift your mood, and can even put you “ spiritually “ in a better position. I believe spending more time listening, reading quraan and praying is the best thing to do with our time. But sometimes it’s hard not to admit the beauty of human art embodied in music. I’m a visual artist myself and work as a video games artist, and i believe good art can make people feel and live better, and create strong connections and memories, let alone the effect of music on people with dementia.. at the end i respect your comment and salute you for speaking and promoting the goodness in our beautiful Islam 😊

İn İslam not all music is haram. İt differs. Dont be rigid. Because Muhammed (sav) önce saîd to a group of companions leaving a wedding with sober faces didnt you have entertainment.
I agree with you in the aspect of silence being a good thing. However as I am writing this a few days after having watched this video, I am remembering why I've used music on a constant basis throughout my life. I've always been surrounded by chaos. My family has been full of screaming matches over the littlest things, and I often found myself berated by them. There was another such event that I had to endure today, and I found it hard to breathe. The only way I could tune it out was to put my earbuds in and turn up the volume. I had to, because compared to the world around me, the music is much, much quieter.
You have a very thoughtful perspective on spontaneously listening to music. It is not healthy mentally to keep listening to a lot of music, I mean, for hours and hours. It can also cause our ears to be spoilt. Music is useful to some extent in our lives, particularly, in our darkest and most loneliest times but must not be always a irresistible habit.
I looked at the title of the video and thought, "why would someone do that, music is beautiful" but i get it now. I never actually thought about it from this perspective. having a form of media playing during any dull task has become such a habit, it's engraved into me. but you're right. The reason i was so creative and innovative as a child was because i had to fill the silence on my own, i've been asking myself were that spontaneous creativity went over the years now that i'm studying art. I think i figured it out now, thank you :) i'm going to tune into the world more from now on ;p
Well, there are actually some religious people who don’t listen to music due to their beliefs! Lol
@@eswarjuri Muslims? True, but majority opinion are musical instruments in itself are forbidden not vocals I believe.
@@woopazipper The Arabic Oud is played throughout the Islamic world. It also has many derivatives played in the Islamic world. As well, it spread through Asia and Europe as the Lute and has become the forefather of most stringed instruments in the world today. In Spain it became the Vihuela, which led to the Classical and Flamenco guitar. Islam can take credit for spreading stringed instruments around the entire world, but ironically, now Islam forbids music? It's more likely that fanatic fundamentalists such as the Taliban forbid music, but not the entire Islamic world.
@@BobOortArab ≠ Islam
We don't take Islam through arab culture, we take Islam from the quran and sunnah of our prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which forbids music. Arabs used to bury female children too, until islam came and put an end to many such practices. I hope you have the decency to at least respect someone's religious beliefs without outright rejecting and making stuff on your own
@@BobOortSahih al-Bukhari 5590
Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari:
that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of *musical instruments*, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection
In this noisy age, we must start to appreciate silence. Great video man!
Absolutely! Thank you so much!

I am surprised that many people are afraid to be left alone with their thoughts. In the modern world there is too much information available, we all need a rest
absolutely with you! something we need to stay aware of
I've thought about this too. Like being with your thoughts is part of the human experience, I guess. You get to know yourself.
@@shinobi5189 some people dont want to know themselves. some people are scared of what they might learn
@@thehumanchris haven't watched the video yet but I just wanted to share my story quick.
I have cut back on music A LOT. Im huge into techno and happy hardcore dnbtrancebreaksetcetc. Lots of very energizing music. I have to be careful when I choose to listen to it because it can get me all pumped up and jumpy when I need to, at that time, be chill and relaxed.
I only really listen to music before I go workout now.
I’d say I’m not afraid to be alone with my thoughts since I do that when I don’t have music.
But I feel rather bored, idk, I love music and basically blasting it through my brains. But I’m not listening to music because I’m scared to be a lone with my thoughts. I see this comment a lot, and I feel like most people aren’t afraid to be alone in silence, but it’s just boring. Rosie ally when you can listen to your favourite music.
I mean sometimes I’ll just sit there with no music, maybe not for very long, but I don’t put my headphones on because I can’t be alone by myself.
And I also understand that listening to music probably isn’t that good for you tbh. I mean I had like 167,000 minutes in 2020 on Spotify. And it’s been decreasing ever since then to like 55,000 minutes now, which is a huge decrease. -and even then each day I put on a 15 minutes timer on the Spotify sleep timer, so it’s a decent amount less.
Anyways, it’s not about being afraid, I think it’s about boredom and usually people being overstimulated, or getting used to being overstimulated.
I actually don't remember when I last watched a TH-cam video without music. Just the melody of your voice. Awesome message. Keep it up. :]

There’s actually a study that music limits our creativity 😅
Absolutely agreed. Silence is such a pleasant experience sometimes amidst a world of noise.
I'm kinda on the same boat my brain doesn't want to just relax so I'm going overtime crazy thoughts so sometimes I end up bored and that makes me sad and that ruins shit so I use music to help me not go crazy.
thats true and im not saying that because i hate music ok? i also used to love it so much but i stopped lying on myself@@vanilla1353
As a songwriter, for me , a moment of silence is really precious because it gives me a lot of my own ideas
As a songwriter, I can become so inundated and obsessed with a project that I find sometimes I need to step away from any and all music for a few days just to clear and reset my brain so I can refresh my perspective. I can only make it a few days though, I love music way too much to go any longer than that

I used to love that. Tinnitus sucks.
@@dudedude6892I’m so sorry, that sounds so overwhelming to have to deal with every day. Is it a constant ringing, or does it come and go?
@@RozaMcdad I’ve got permanent tinnitus, meaning that it’s always there. Although, I think that this could be a misunderstanding about it, it varies a lot. For example, when I woke up yesterday it was really loud, a lot more than usual. Today, however, it was pretty normal. Another thing about that I don’t think people understand, is that sometimes (pretty randomly), another, higher, louder pitch is added for a few minutes.
The best thing about it is that you don’t really have to focus on tuning it out, as if I’m hearing a noise that’s louder than my tinnitus, then I have to focus to notice it. However, in those quiet moments, like trying to sleep or those same quiet drives, it’s pretty noticeable. Protect your ears!
Youre a lot safer when youre not listening to music. Sound is extremely important to situational awareness.
I used to blast music in the car. Like BLAST BLAST. Being a young adult now, i realize, that it decreases my awareness when driving for example. I still listen to music while driving, but not as loud as I used to. What's your experience related to what you're saying?
I left music cuz my religion (Islam) prohibited it, and after that i realized how beautiful life with all the noises in it❤
May Allah reward you for that

im starting to notice life without music and its actually very peaceful. i like listening to the shuffling of my movements and the pattern of my breathing. music is a huge part of my life though and i love it so much.
life really is so peaceful without music! like when you stop to just listen to the ambience of it all. taking slow breaths and observing everything. so much beauty in it all. love that you can relate to this. music is a huge part of my life too
😂
I’ve been thinking about this a lot at the moment. As someone who depends on music but also gets quite overstimulated by sound I’ve been finding the balancing shifting to overwhelming a lot more. Part of me is scared to sit in silence or even create in silence
There's definitely a lot of discomfort. But something interesting happens if you show up and just wait for the idea to strike
It's worth it. Over time you will get used to it. May God bless you!

When Allah mentions that something is Haram, then we stick to what he says, otherwise, we will go to Hell, simple.
We say in this day and age - 'everything is good in moderation,' when science has proven that, for example, Alcohol is toxic, and bad for the body. Can lead to many issues, including brain damage.
The only reason you say Islam sucks, is because everything in this day and age is corrupt. Because there is so much corruption, and so much Haram, it looks like Islam sucks, when in reality, Islam saves us from comitting so many sins, and getting into so much trouble with them (eg, Adultery, Drugs/Alcohol, etc).
Islam saves us, despite it seeming like a religion that 'sucks'.
You are talking about extreme amounts of music listening. I never understood people who are nonstop on the headphones, while walking, biking, picnic in nature and so on. For me that was always too destructing, I always enjoyed more the surrounding, nature, people, city at those moments.
That's beautiful! I wouldn't say I listen to extreme amounts of music, like compared to musicians it's definitely less, but i also listen more than the regular person. It just sets the mood very well for whatever i'm doing. But I also realise that sometimes I definitely listen to too much of it. I try to fill in every gap with some sort of an energy. I made this video to reflect that idea and it's actually really cool to see that a lot of people enjoy the mundane sounds of every life, the nature, environments, city and everything else
Agreed it feels like neglecting nature, we listen to music for a certain mood or to imagine a certain thing, utter nature all around us and the sounds of nature or artificial machinery can also give those other worldly feelings.
Also, when you stop listening to music all the time, when you take an hour to listen to an album you love it sounds even better than you remembered.

music has a profound effect on us. It is always better not to get addicted to anything, music wasn't easy or available back in the day for listening always but since the invention of headphones we got 24 hrs music playing out in our ears all the time, I feel silence is more beautiful than everything, the time spot when we can actually connect and get more in spiritual with life even if it's 5 mins a day.
so true! music really wasn't as available and easily accessible back then, as it is now. and i find it really beautiful that you think silence is better than everything. i think it's important that more of us, which are addicted to music (in the best way possible), to embrace silence more and more
Silence is really beautiful. Subtle things like door opening, birds chirping, kettle boiling, your own breath, it's all there for a reason. We just aren't made to be listening to or watching things 24/7. Our brain needs to rest and think about life.
Also, Jesus Christ loves you. He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊

I'm a professional musician and I have trained myself to turn off the music (or de-focus) the musical thoughts that constantly create themselves in my mind. It may sound counter-productive, but it is important to have silence in the mind as well as external devices.
It's actually so true, I absolutely hate the uncomfortable thoughts I have when I don't have music on, it's scary to me at times.
Which is why it is even more important for me to get out of this shell I built around myself with a constant source of media and just sit or walk alone for a while.

Thank u for this , Since I am a Muslim, I can find the difference between life with music and without music
During Ramadan, I quit music for a whole month
The results were fantastic
No more daydreaming, no more distraction, just focus on goals, studying, and clarity of mind
I began to start my day actively, instead of wasting my energy on loud, loud noises. I began to listen to the sound of nature, the sound of birds, and become aware of everything around me and feel its presence and address to me.
I did the same thing until this year, I struggled with listening to music, mostly because I had unprocessed emotions, which triggered uncomfortable feelings about the past when I listened to music. This year, I listened to a little more music, reframed, still reframing… and I think it’s working, I mostly listen to jazz or music in languages I don’t understand so that I am only focused on the beats. TMI, but thought I should share 😊
Wow. That is suuuuper interesting, thank you so much for sharing a part of your story. I never thought someone can have it the other way around, but I love learning from others and their experiences. It's definitely interesting to hear, thank you once more for sharing 😊
a bit..similar to my story 💚
I somewhat agree with you...but to be honest, when I feel sad or lonely...and then I listen to music that reminds me of my childhood...or music whose words accurately describe my feelings...I feel a lot better! . Music creates memories for us. And reminds us of people. It expresses feelings and emotions more than anything else. I agree with you that I should not wear headphones all the time. But when walking or exercising. If you put on headphones, you will feel more motivated. In the end, everyone does the things that make them feel comfortable,
I heard someone say you when you wake up don’t listen to any music. Listen to like a motivational podcast, audio book for a little and have it silence untold it’s like 1pm. Bc your mind is fragile early in the morning. I tried it and honestly man I felt good. Bc I’m undisciplined I fell back into the cycle of bad habits but imma do it tm when I wake up
What a piece of art! So calming to watch and hear. Keep it up!
Homieee 💛 I feel like it could be a series, as it's very peaceful but also informative. Thank you :)
this. the major difference I have found after quitting major social media apps is - listening to less music. as someone who needs a saviour playlist for every crisis in their life and those specifically curated monthly playlists, it honestly helped me enjoy & appreciate music much more. feels really nice to have my thoughts wander in my mind because it felt really foreign before and scary as much as I was mostly very flighty. now whenever I am bombarded with any content and just too much information, especially those short form dopamine-hitting content, my mind becomes aware of it and I just skip them and continue with my day.
That's a beautiful comment 💛
What a beautiful neighborhood you have got there I must say!
Actually agree with all that said! Also another great thing is to either not take phone with you, or disable notifications/put it somewhere, where it would not be comfortable to take out (like a bag). It also helps to not get distracted and think for a while!
Thanks for the video!
i'm surprised this doesn't have more views. i deeply resonate with this video because i recently lost my only earphones and i currently can''t afford new ones... so i've been commuting in silence for the past couple of weeks. i realised how i'm so much more present and in tune with myself since i've stopped listening to music all the time. we need to learn to be with ourselves again.
Facts! May God bless you!
For real , I was thinking about the same thing for quite a while not because of music but social media it was irritating me, making my schedule look busy then I realised ,
I wasn't giving myself enough time.doing nothing for a while just relaxing, It helps me make things clear. Your video really did a great job at explaining that.
doing nothing and slowing down, consuming less media definitely really helps with making the mind clear. i'm happy you enjoyed this 🫶
in islam its taught to us that music can be harmful and bad for the brain i honestly dont rmmbr why but probably bc of the negative words that are in most songs or rather because the vibrations from some instruments are harmful for the brain function, i listen to heavy metal and such an addict to rock, i quit listening to music for 2 weeks approximately and ive noticed actually how creative and mindful i honestly started focusing very well in studying and some more creative ideas just popped up in my head and so on i knew this was probably the impact of quitting music for quite some time although i still listen to some chill songs every now and then cause it just makes me feel good and makes me move my body (ps when my depressing thoughts occur i just listen to some calm quran)
Listening to music also distances you from the remembrance of God and it’s true. I would constantly have lyrics in my head before but that’s pushing me away from the purpose of existence which is to worship God. Now instead I have clearer and more creative thoughts and am in general more grateful about simply existing. I’ve picked up a new hobby which is to listen to Quran and ponder over its translations on TH-cam. 100% wouldn’t be able to experience this if I was still listening to music
Distance you from remembering the god (allah) is not 100% true
It depend on the use
I heard music for years and I didn't forget allah
That's because I'm not using it alot
And I don't hear songs that can have bad behaviors
I'm still grateful to allah
But what I'm trying to say
You can't blame a thing that it's your fault with
Just like blaming burger that made you fatter
Insha allah you understand brother
Look the quran is more beautiful
But that doesn't mean we have to ban music
The music have purposes either (depend on use).
It's not because music makes you hate quran,
You are just addicted with it
Just like video games don't make you pray in time
And in the last blaming the video games.
Again: I'm not saying this because I want you to get alot with music
It's ok it's your choice to not hearing music
But I'm saying this because it bothers me that you are blaming a thing that you didn't use it right and the others believe it without notice
And have a nice day brother
@@ZarellanGamer by distancing you from the remembrance of Allah I mean instead of doing istighfar you might start saying lyrics.
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah:
“Never do the love of song and the love of Qur'an come together in a person’s heart except that one expels the other.”
I do understand where you are coming from though. May Allah guide us all
Yeah that's the good part
I did istigfar alot
And yeah when ibn qayyim said that
It just felt like he said "never do love of showering and love of drinking water"
Because ibn qayyim don't know anything about the benefits of hearing music/songs.
sadly some elders "شيوخ" is being extermist and blaming the thing instantly instead of know what is it,
There was an elder blaming that PUBG is haram
His reason of making it haram was "because it makes you play in college" (yes he said something like that).
The music/song is different and quran is different either
It's just the addiction that made you not reading quran
Like video games
when you are addicted with
You won't pray in time

I'm not going to stop listening to music completely, especially since I'm a musician, but I am going to find ways of listening to silence more. Thank you for this insightful video.
Same! I love music too much haha happy you liked it 🫶
I heard someone say don’t listen to music until like 1pm and ngl it was a game changer
It is beautiful to find the reason why Islam has prohibited music for it's believers
as if watching youtube videos on the internet is not haram 😂 thats also a distraction and I guess that the kuran would not allow it
@@PySnek It's not about distraction, we are not allowed to watch videos with any haram elements in it. Of course that has a wisdom behind it, but we as muslims don't watch them because Islam has told us to do so, and we believe Islam and trust Allah fully. Anything that's haram in Islam, you'll find it harmful for yourself somehow.
@@khalid6hai Islam told you to buy smartphones and watch TH-cam? Common man, be honest with yourself here. We all know that it alters our lifes in a bad way to constantly consume media. Same goes for the internet in general and especially social media.
@@PySnek Islam doesn't prohibit buying smartphones and watching youtube. Islam prohibits using them in a bad way. Bro before arguing gather some knowledge, I don't think you know anything about Islam. Even if you're against it, you should be knowledgeable before
Its much more far away to the reason of forbidding Music in Islam bruh.
i love the way you direct your videos and have visually appealing footage combined with your engaging script and calming, gentle voice. I can definitely tell you put much thought into your videos.
Awe John that is so nice of you. Absolutely. A lot of thought go into these and there's so much i have to push around to make them, but they are very fulfilling and i love the artform itself. Your comment meant a lot, thank you for seeing me 💛
As a someone who is literally addicted to music its so hard for me to even imagine this, and whenever im going out or something I don’t bring my phone but i still sing the songs , music is always in my head 24/7 , and the fact that im Muslim and its haram its extremely hard and sad for me , but I actually don’t think i will ever stop listening to music, I cant live without it i dont see any reasons why I should live in a world without music
But anyways i loved this video and im so happy for you ❤

Music addiction is a real thing because it's like a drug, we use it to escape the pressures of our realities instead of facing them. I've realized that music was a huge part in my mental health, not in helping it but making it worse when I thought it was helping because it was serving as an escape for me so now I cut off all that music and just listen to things that bring me peace and a realistic happiness. Been listening to a lot of songs about God lately. There's this song I really like because it's like the artist is having a real talk with God in a sad moment and there's so much hope in it that it actually uplifts me. It's called Where I'm Gonna Be by Mia Rio. She's not a big artist yet but totally worth it.
Bro how is this channel not above million subscribers yet the quality is insane and those charming shots the sun and the playground 😭😭😭 hope you reach 1mil soon
You're amazing thank you so much 🥺🙏
Here is a great test to see if you have a problem with media. When you sit down for your next dinner, just sit and eat. No reading, t.v., pad, phone…….nothing. Just you, in your kitchen, eating. If you’re uncomfortable, you might not know how to be with yourself.
I love that. Everyone should give this a try and see how it makes them feel
I love the cinematography! The image is crisp and the colors are on point! Almost surreal, but so very real! I liked it
That's such a nice compliment, thank you!! It's something i've been working on for a long time, especially the color grading 🫶
What an insightful video and script too! Images super delightful, I feel inspired to go out and film myself on the streets too. But I am still shy/afraid that someone will just take my camera from me hahah!
The message, still your mind to find yourself! I resonate 100% and I am glad we are reflections to each other for these human experiences!
You are so appreciated Chris! Lots of love
awee thank you Gigi 💛 As someone who constantly loves learning and being entertained, shutting all of that off, unless in nature, feels weird. But i've been able to think more clearly in days where i didnt occupy my mind with anything externally.
ALSO! You should definitely go outside and film some stuff. I've also had to push myself out of my comfort zone to do it, but its always very gratifying and pushes your creativity :)
I love the fact that this video has no sound which made me listen to it more clearly which was kinda relaxing in its own way.
I'm so impressed by your use of colour
Thank you!! Your ecosystem videos are incredible!!
jokes on you i use music in an active way, lots of utility, lots of enjoyment. and that i block time for complete silence and whatnot. there's room for both. the problem is being passive!!! great vid!
Dude is so underrated, the video, the cinematography and everything is just so amazing, i wish you grow!
it means t he world that you think this highly of what I make, thank you so so much!! 🥺💛
As a musician, I had to watch this and I actually agree with your view.
In my case, I make so much music that I started listening less and less to other's music - simply to enjoy the silence every now and then.
I don't listen to music on the bus or in the gym and some people say that's crazy. I find it relaxing.
Silence is just another form of sound/music if you will.
Well everyone is different I don’t listen music all day I only listen when I want vibe or feel uplifted but that me not you so this topic is mainly about individualism not how you should listen to music
Gyat. A video without music really refreshing. That mic though so crisp 🗿
Hehehe thank you :3
wow this is actually something i needed to hear, because i’ve always felt that i’m starting to listen to music as an escape and distraction!
I love the style of your video.
Just normal everyday scenes, impressions and feelings, no background music or fast cuts.
And in a quality, that it seems like I just lived that moment as well
Yes!! That's exactly what it is. I'm happy you were able to spot it and also very happy you enjoyed the simplicity of it :)
an artist respects the silence that serves the foundation of creativity!
I love music, I always believe that it is what gives my life meaning, especially when i discover new albums all over the world thanks to the help of youtube algorithm, I used to try to fill every menial gap with a song playing in the background, music is a wonderful thing that always lifts me up, I was initially quite taken aback by the video title wondering why someone would stop enjoying such a great medium, after watching your video, I have to agree, silence is a pretty important thing to have especially in the busy modern world, in silence is when my brain is the most active, I get to introspect and organize my own thoughts, I would still listen to music cause its such an important part of my life, but I would not force myself to listen to it 24/7 and leave some time for silence through the day.
This video changed my perspective for real .
The cinematography, silence in the background, yours voice over, this short video was beautifully made.
I wish you make a whole video series like this.
Awe thank you so much! I'll definitely continue making them :) Will you stick around?
Your video came to me and it was so surprising. It felt like you had listened to me talking about my problems and the advice you gave me was so suitable. For the last 2 months, I have been trying to learn how to enjoy the silence. No music, no podcast, no TV just pure silence. My life circled itself around noises, one of my biggest fears was to be alone, so to prevent it I filled the air around me with noises. Before I even knew, I was drowning in it, the constant feeling of tiredness and sleepiness was ruining my mood. Your video helfed me to find the safety of silence again. From now on I will not take my headphones when going on a walk, instead I will take a notebook and a pen! Thank you a lot.
Wow. Thank you for sharing your story with me 💛 I'm so so happy this video came at the right time and you decided to watch it. Keep it up!
I came back to this video months after first watching it to posit something.
A problem I and many other Gen Z members have had is losing our love for reading. I personally would regularly read nearly a thousand pages of something per week in middle school. I was almost always reading something new. The process of starting and finishing a lengthy fantasy novel would fill me with an enriching wave of catharsis the moment I flipped the final page.
As I got older and started gaining access to shinier forms of entertainment like smartphones, Computers, and game consoles, books started to lose their alure. As I grew to an age when I could spend all my time with screens and music and noise, I forgot books entirely and chose to just do that. For over five years I nearly constantly had some type of noise in the background be it music or a show I've seen a dozen times. I would decide which adult swim cartoon I was gonna put on before I went to bed because I even grew to need it in my sleep.
I've somewhat recently been getting back into reading again, this year I've been warming up by reading something I know and love and reading something new in an alternating patten. But for the first few books while I did it I would have Futurama or Family Guy or something playing in the same room. It wouldn't really be much of a distraction, it only very occasionally pulled my attention away from my book. The majority of the attention was still on the book. But there was still something missing, something that I came to miss from the reading experience I remembered as a child.
I went to revisit Eragon after reading The Alchemist for the first time. I must have read it half a dozen times in my life, the rest of the series maybe three times. I thought back to how much it influenced 12 year old me, thought about how awesome it felt to first read it when it was the newest, freshest, SHINIEST thing in my life. The writing has been critiqued by many and for decent reason, it's somewhat simple and easy to read and takes common tropes from many existing series. But I think it's great, even if it's technically considered middle school reading level despite the author trying his best to throw in overly big and lesser known words where they don't fit.
I thought about WHY it had been so special to me again, and realized it was because at one time it was all I had. I had been struggling to lose myself in a book's world more so than ever simply because all the other things around me were constantly pulling me out.
One weekend I hit the power button on my TV and sat down to read in silence. Not since I was forced to as a kid had I ever just read a book in complete silence. For the first time in years I could simply just flow along without it feeling forced. What had grown to become a chore had once again become something fresh and shiny again. I found myself looking forward to when I'll have another few minutes to read Eragon. And when I finished, instead of feeling relieved it was over I wanted to pick up another book. I felt an Intense wave of nostalgia for when I wasn't being bombarded by short term stimulation 24/7.
I would compare it to eating a nice meal when you're actually hungry versus after you've been snacking all day. It won't be as enriching of an experience to your mind, it will only serve as extra bloat on the information in your brain.
My appetite for mental stimulation has been stoked again, for once in a long time I'm actually hungry for good media off all kinds.

In the past month i was realising that music was a "toxic" treat to me because I was always lasting to it, even just for wash the dishes which takes only 10 minutes or to just wake up. I'm gonna try to put a stop with this thing. And this video helped me to decided to do it at least. So thank you!. Have a great day!
Ahhhh dude im reading this and it's so heartwarming, really, thank you. It makes me so happy that the video feels that way to you. I've also noticed that sometimes I just can't even hear my own thoughts cuz im listening to music all the time. Like with everything, it's all about tthe balance. Have a great day too!

Really, you feel peace, you live more in reality and n you have more connection with yourself and the wold around you ❤
lovely point, i always felt that. we sometimes escape our emotions or alter them with contrasting music at times
totally! i feel like music really helps sometimes, but also can be an escapism at other
We often fear silence and thinking about ourselves and our future… music is a good distraction

Well in islam music is haram before 1445 years.
In Islam, listening to music is haram "not allowed", I've been always see a negative effect on us as humans. I just know that Allah who create us knows very well what is good for us as a human or on the whole society.
Music that will cause unnecessary sadness and tear the soul apart is haram. Music that instills life energy and encourages beauty is halal.
No both of them are haram and you can search about this and there where a hadith talking about this. In my opinion, energy and positive music as you said it just makes us happy for moments and then you back to reality and back to everything. you can get this by listening or reading a quran, it makes everything peaceful and makes sense. or doing sports. so you'll start to feel the real life and find stuff that really makes you happy and not haram or damage your mental health by the time. anyways, my opinion is not important when it comes to halal or haram we just try as we can to follow Allah’s commands and avoiding His prohibitions and ask him to help us doing this.
@@brawlerpro5829
@brawlerpro5829 Music that addicts you is haram(especially digital and instrumental music) music that doesn't lead you to addiction is halal.
@brawlerpro5829 If you insist on doing something haram, do it yourself without lying to others and claiming it is OK to do it.

Thank you!! Cinema and cinematography is one of my favorite things and its nice to see it being received so well by you 💛 I'm happy you also enjoyed the message and what i had to say. Video was shot in Berlin, where I'm based. Where is your home?
@@thehumanchris somehow I just felt that it was filmed Berlin:) Not because I saw a particular place which I know, but just through the vibe in your video:) I must say your short takes on your surroundings somehow captured it perfectly. I used to live in Berlin and even though it was two years ago, your video took me back to many walks during which I couldn't stop admiring the beauty of the city - which was best visible in regular, but somehow quiant streets, rows of trees by the sidewalks, small, local restaurants, in the laughs of children playing in the playgrounds between the blocks. Even though I didn't live there for a long time, Berlin holds a special place in my heart and I could really feel its energy in your video - very wholesome feeling, once again, thanks for that:)
Currently I live in my homeland, Poland, which I also love and can see so many small, special things about here, just by watching my regular, but again, special everyday surrondings and all the little details that come with them. Your video is a reminder to do so more often:)
Thank you for your video. I may not completely stop listening to music, but I have stopped listening to podcast for almost 4 years now after a severe burnout. I felt too overwhelmed to get even a few more advice/self-improvement hacks or whatsoever. It took me months and years to fully recovered and I became more concious of what I consume... yes, I mean all content I consume, books, texts, knowlege-related media, music, movies, series, etc... I realized that learning by ears is not my thing, and listening to podcast does not help me at all. These days I enjoy to read and if I want to get deeper on something, I just buy a course and deep dive into the topic.
I may not listen to music all the time like I did in the past, but I now know when to stay in silence and when to use the benefits of the sound. The music is nice and the silence is beautiful too as it gives space and opportunity to listen to ourselves more clearly.
Very awesome my friend.
Yeah.. music can have a profound impact on us, just because it affects many MANY parts of our brain. But it also gives us dopamine. Sometimes, deliberately tuning out from them is helpful to see what we already have in front of us. Being present.
Well edited. Very peaceful and calming. ❤
Thank you Winny and very well said with the dopamine 💛

So Music is actually forbidden to listen to in Islam. People dont understand how terrible it is to have something that amplify your emotions, how tiring, and how energy destroying that could be. you get a bunch of high moments while listening but the rest of your day is gone.
And if you listen to it all the time then watch how long you sleep and still end up waking up tired.
Stop filling your mind with empty bs and start listening to the world and nature and yourself and reading good books or hearing good talks instead.
For me I fill my mind with Quran instead.
I relate to this heavy. Any time I have to just relax I realize my brain has room to think clear, and even think new ideas. I am going to start reminding myself to do this more, thank you for this video.
Thank you!! This is exactly the realisation I came too, im happy you felt the same way and learned this too recently
When apple ear phones were first out, and people wore them in public, I used to wonder what people were drowning out - their thoughts or the world around them. You’ve done a brilliant job of explaining this, and for showing that we can listen to our own thoughts, or silence, and it’s not a bad thing. Thank you!
Thank you for saying all of that and sharing your story about the Apple headphones. Very interesting thoughts 🙏
i see a big difference between social media and music. I see social media as dopamine hits, constant bombardement of information. But music is like listening to art. A beautiful song can make me wonder about life, just like all genres of paintings can.
I feel the exact same way.
Music will go on forever, meaningful music I mean. It will outlive all of us. I look for beautiful melodies in music too, but lyrics.. this is the deal breaker.
@@bsnf-5 to me that heavily depends on the genre: If you're listening to love songs then lyrics are very important. Listening to rap, lyrics is the most important: the sometimes beautiful rhymescemes outmatch any other genre.

Been struggling with music addiction for the last 25 years, and don't think I'll ever have the answers. It's great to see people making videos about it nowadays; it's become a known issue. What a joy to have discovered your channel today; please keep making these beautiful, inspiring videos.
I read your name after your comment, it made me giggle. I would suggest you to quit it slowly rather than all at once, make a tasks list (anything like watching a chunk of tutorial, doing certain number of pushups, buying groceries, washing your socks etc..) and start rewarding yourself with a song after completing these small tasks. Always keep the tasks that you despise the most at the top priority. Use your addiction for your benefit.
And remember, always be true to yourself only. If you lie to yourself a lot and don't fulfill the promises that you make to yourself than you'd always find yourself running away from reality in the form of addiction. It's okay to fall short sometimes, just apologize to yourself and move on.
Oh, praise be to God.. In my Islamic religion, God tells us and commands us not to listen to music because He is our Creator, so He knows that music is harmful to the heart and gives a beautiful feeling temporarily, then the effect of drugs disappears, and this will cause real fatigue... Oh, thank God for the blessing of Islam.
God commands us to listen to the Qur’an and understand it. It calms the human soul and reassures the heart. It is truly special. I recommend this clip to you. th-cam.com/video/zbse_7rMJnk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TDK4YbeDT-7nWnWY
Islam prohibits certain things for a good reason, such as music. Watching content like this makes me appreciate how Islam brings meaning to life.
I too have been thinking about quitting music since last few days because I've noticed that it has become something that creeps in every task that I do and now I realise how this habit of constant external influence in the form of music has affected my ability to mindfully engage in a task. And today this video pops up in my feed and I instantly clicked on it and now thanks to you, now my motive behind quitting music has been solidified even more. Thank you!
When I was in school, music took over all connections, people would just stop talking and put on music until people just stop talking and then no one had any friends, and me and my siblings was considered weird cause we didn't do that we sat around and talk and laughed.
Beautiful video! I totally agree with this concept. I biked to the city center yesterday without any music and appreciated much more my surroundings and how pretty my city (Amsterdam) is. Thanks!
Hey Dave! I love Amsterdam. I was just there 2 weeks ago, but I often go back because of how much I love it there. I'm happy you got something out of this video, sending hugs from Montreal 🇨🇦
As a Muslim, I am very grateful to you because you found the appropriate way to explain the idea of not listening to music to non-Muslim people. Now I can discuss and argue with many of my friends with strong arguments at my disposal.❤
Next video: why I stopped breathing
Brilliant yet simple. A man who professes something and does it. Practicing what he preaches.
The dearth of music in the background is splendid. It’s quite nice to just hear what is there, and not what might add to the mood.
Silence is often true, good, and beautiful
Ah tthis comment was amazing, you worded things so well, thank you!!
Being silent in silence is best remedy for so many mental and moral ailments.
amen brother haha!
I love your videos oh my goodness. I am still a kid in high school so there is a lot of pressure on me and it is really a struggle to take any time to just exist without feeling guilty, but I know it would be so much better if I could. I have music in my ears all the time but I remember when I was a child I would 'do nothing' quite a lot, free of music or any other media; I was very much the head-in-the-clouds type. I wrote poems and stories and drew a lot because back then I didn't yet know the constant overhanging pressure to be productive and I had infinite time and inspiration and didn't have to justify taking time to do things I wanted to do that would not get any external validation. I also have ADHD which makes this pressure to be productive extra crushing because so often I try so hard and still can't make expectations I have for myself as informed by neurotypical standards. Anyway, I love your videos, I definitely feel like I am on the right side of youtube now because although I was procrastinating watching this video, it didn't feel like a waste of time at all :)
This video was art. I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. I subbed and wish you all the best.
i'm touched by your words and appreciate you so much for saying all of that. thank you friend 💛 see you around! :)
As a Muslim, Islam forbids listening to songs that contain music and contain bad lyrics because they only distract the heart. They control our feelings freely. If you listen to a sad song, you suddenly start thinking about all the bad events that happened to you in your life. Then you listen to an enthusiastic song and feel that you are full of energy and you will accomplish everything you have. Now, then you listen to meaningless songs that only contain insults or bad scenes, and I don’t know why they listen to them. Actually, everything that Islam forbids is harmful. It is forbidden for us to eat pork. There are many studies that have proven that it is actually bad. How can I eat the meat of an animal that feeds on waste, and also Alcohol is forbidden. It only kills the mind. How many accidents or misfortunes happen just because a person was not conscious. Islam also forbids suicide. It also forbids adultery and touching the opposite sex or mingling with them. Tattooing is also forbidden. Why would I change the way my Lord created me when He created me already beautiful? And why would I distort my beautiful body? I feel... Truly proud and grateful to be a Muslim. I know that I was created to worship God and build this earth and make it better, not just for the sake of fooling around and harming myself and others.
Love this, I started doing this, going out do my daily days chores without headphones on, sitting in the underground train or a public area without my escape. Because I realized for me listening to something is also a method for me to feel safe and secure. And also the feeling of being overwhelmed with new sounds and information through podcasts, music and so on. Yesterday I had a situation where I received a message that was uncomfortable and my first urge was it to put on my headphones and listening to something to not feel that emotion. I realised I did this so often, the moment I feel uncomfortable and don't Wana think about something I distract myself instead of solving it within my self and really allowing all my feelings and thoughts.
And also the loss of the beauty that is around me through noise, people talking, animal sounds, traffic sounds, crying/laughing babies, street art/music. Random people talking to me. All of this beauty I missed every day. I try to corporate that into my daily routines.
After that listening to music feels much more special and I can really enjoy my TV shows and TH-cam videos. It thought me so much going into the world without distraction.
I realised that I started singing sometimes or even talking to my self haha. I really enjoy and appreciate my own company more though this "exercise".
I realised I did all of this constant listening to entertainment also as a way of not being with myself fully, it was a thing to fill my feeling of loneliness but I actually feel less lonely since I started more connected to myself and the outer world.❤
For me this is a journey to self-love and self appreciation, being really in the moment with my self and embracing feelings like loneliness and anxiety instead of pushing them away with distractions and learning to really appreciate the entertainment as a whole the music the podcasts...
Boredome is something that humans try to avoid so adementely that we forgot it has a purpose. We are meant to consume, to create, and to think. We are NOT just made to consume. I deleted social media from my phone a few weeks ago and the sense of joy I can get from such little things is so refreshing. This is how things were when I was a kid! You can just sit down with a book, or a mundane task, or the preparation or enjoyment of a meal.
Its much nicer to live one's life than trying to distract yourself from it constantly. You might have a life that you might WANT to be distracted from, but remember those distractions only stop you from making your situation better in the first place. It feels incredible to get things done and problem solve your way through and reach your goals.
i don’t think i can live without having music in my life
absolutely, me neither
THAT's why Islam is the best religion on earth
100%
True
We also don't drink alcohol and that's magnificent , we keep ourselves sane
I wouldn’t say there’s a “best religion” because in my opinion that’s messed up, instead I would say all religions are equal and should be treated equally
@@TreeThreshold True but all religions can't be true at the same time
In fact, in Islam, listening to music is forbidden, and the details of this matter have not been delved into. Many Muslims or people of other religions have always wondered why this matter exists, even though we have preconceptions about the matter, such as that it causes a lack of concentration, and the abundance of songs causes depression, and also the bad emptiness when you finish from Hearing a good song, you search for more and more. Also, most of the songs contain bad, obscene and addictive lyrics. We have a rule, which is that nothing is forbidden without a reason, and everything that is forbidden is harmful to us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We must really stop living our lives with music. We enjoy natural sounds
"the details of this matter have not been delved into"- No, plenty of people thought about that already, and it's easy to understand that's because music takes away muslims' time/attention to submit to their god. 5 pray sessions a day, what else ... Anyway, if humans were born just to do exactly the same thing, we aren't much different from chickens: bred, fed, grown up, then die lol
I’m a muslim too and i do my best to become better each day. Although i do believe not all music or songs are forbidden. I used to play the piano as a teenager and it gave me so much joy and confidence, and i used to recite the quraan in a mosque on a weekly basis, there was once this open questions discussions for the teachers and i asked them about music, they told me it matters “ which type” and it’s impact on me and those around me. I do agree with you that many songs have bad lyrics with cursing and body description, and promoting a bad influence in general specially genres like rap and r’n b. But others, have sensational instrumental solos, deep retrospective words, and a piece of art that gives you good feelings, lift your mood, and can even put you “ spiritually “ in a better position. I believe spending more time listening, reading quraan and praying is the best thing to do with our time. But sometimes it’s hard not to admit the beauty of human art embodied in music. I’m a visual artist myself and work as a video games artist, and i believe good art can make people feel and live better, and create strong connections and memories, let alone the effect of music on people with dementia.. at the end i respect your comment and salute you for speaking and promoting the goodness in our beautiful Islam 😊

Prayer in eslam takes about 10 minutes, but it actually relaxes you, tells you why you are here in the first place, yes, to build yourself a place in heaven and die, to fight yourself and your desires "not like animals who live for their desires only"

İn İslam not all music is haram. İt differs. Dont be rigid. Because Muhammed (sav) önce saîd to a group of companions leaving a wedding with sober faces didnt you have entertainment.
I agree with you in the aspect of silence being a good thing. However as I am writing this a few days after having watched this video, I am remembering why I've used music on a constant basis throughout my life.
I've always been surrounded by chaos. My family has been full of screaming matches over the littlest things, and I often found myself berated by them. There was another such event that I had to endure today, and I found it hard to breathe. The only way I could tune it out was to put my earbuds in and turn up the volume. I had to, because compared to the world around me, the music is much, much quieter.
I love that you left the ambient noise in the clips. It added to the cinematic-ness as well as the realness.
Listening to music haram in islam it's a Sign to learn about islam
Haram~>not allowed
Islam is a very good religion
I hope you will read about it 💜
Music is beautiful, and should not be shunned.

No wonder why this video was recommended to me. Great message and all the best.
I'm happy you clicked on it :)
You have a very thoughtful perspective on spontaneously listening to music. It is not healthy mentally to keep listening to a lot of music, I mean, for hours and hours. It can also cause our ears to be spoilt. Music is useful to some extent in our lives, particularly, in our darkest and most loneliest times but must not be always a irresistible habit.
Absolutely with you
In islam the music is haram
It is nice that you learned this yourself, but for me this is one of the simplest lessons that Islam taught me
