i have 3 younger siblings. two are under 7. now the 3rd, my sister, spends more time with them and hence is more likely to influence the way in which they grow up. i come from a medium-ly religious family.

now how do i stop her from getting them into music and films and the like? when i'm with them and try to stop them they just see me as the villian stopping them having fun as my sister does, they know all the latest songs by heart which i find worrying. right now they are hanging in my sister's room listening to music.

obviously when you're that young your gonna choose fun over being a good muslim, especially when the 'fun' is not being emphasised as being wrong.

how do resolve this? its like we're divorced and fighting over custody (though neither of us has discussed this) over the two youngest. i can't let them grow up right next to me with no sense of islam.

ive tried talking to her but she only listens sometimes. the parents dont see anything wrong with it. they are growing up loving borderline addicted to music.

please help :(

Subhanallah walahi its like you took the words right out of my mouth. I have the same problem with my sis influencing the younger ones.

What I usually do is walk into the room they are in and ask them what their doing the younger one usually tells me. I tell them that their “sad for listening to junk like this, wasting their life on useless, superficial people who live for money”. And once I have them outraged with furor I move on to the sin of listening to the type of music they like and then I give them solutions like taking cd’s from my room and listening to nasheeds.

If they don’t listen then I turn off the radio or change the channel and complain to my parents.
