song I don't know what you want me to say what do you want me to say I don't know like sometimes I think like what does the person what does this person want me to say look music is not Haram sexual lyrics you know these are more propriety issues ain't they they're not Haram but they are there's kind of guidelines on how you
would like you obviously that it's not appropriate for certain age to be having these words using using words you wouldn't use them in certain settings you wouldn't use them in a professional setting you wouldn't use them around children you wouldn't use them around I mean but these are human propriety issues I think we all understand this as human beings we don't need a sudden Revelation to explain it to us that oh the president of a country while speaking wouldn't just start uttering swear words I mean I everybody knows that it's nothing um you
know it's not rocket science it doesn't need such a whoa we need a revelation from God to say that but it doesn't make it haram it doesn't make sexualized if you think about it is not most of class always a huge part of classical not H but classical Arabic poetry has hypersexual aspects to it it's not all about that but then war is you know what it's interesting how people are happy to sideline War like they don't see that as a problem they don't see like if you

violence but I'm not talking about that I'm talking about just generally something sexual Society human society today is it sees that as like whoa what the hell is this what the hell whereas violence is is oh yeah it's just a gameyard but I think that's this a huge philosophical question here that why wait a minute why are we so okay with something about the spilling of blood
about witnessing that if we see as on a movie we think it's just a movie but we're not okay with anything sexual now you need to question your own bearings your ball bearings where they are and your compass is this just Victorian are you just the product of you know this whole of colonial thought h
