A sincere naseehah to our local Muslim communities and all Muslim language groups: If our events are organised by Muslims, for Muslims, then they must reflect Islamic values. What is the benefit of a community programme if it normalises music, promotes major sins, and takes people further away from Deen?
It is especially wrong when Muslim platforms promote, invite, and honour non-Hijabi Muslim influencers or guests. This sends a dangerous message to our daughters and youth — that even open neglect of Hijab does not matter, and that fame and popularity are more important than obedience to Allah.
A Muslim stage is not a place where we forget Allah and do whatever we want. Whom we honour is generally whom we present as acceptable and admirable, especially regarding Muslim guests. If we ourselves do not uphold Islam in our own events, then how can we expect non-Muslim institutions to respect our sisters’ Hijab and our children’s Salah? If we compromise Allah’s limits in our own spaces, is that not hypocrisy? This irreligious and liberal mindset is a poison entering Muslim hearts: Islam for worship, but not for public life.
May Allah guide our communities, our organisers, and our youth to honour Deen in private and in public.
