  • Making Religion Hard For Giving Training About Steadfastness On Deen

    Posted by Abdur Rahman on January 15, 2025 at 9:10 pm

    As salamualaikum,

    Can someone make religion hard or torture people with loud/shrilling noise of loudspeaker or give sermon using harsh and degrading words.

    When the person was asked about the harshness of the tone or loud voice or degrading words, then the reply is given that – “religion should be followed even if it is difficult on your emotions. It should not be followed based on whims and desires. This is training and tarbiyat that I am giving for being steadfast on deen”

    Is this justification and intention correct? What would be said for this person who has made his intentions clear and he is deliberately using harsh words, degrading abuses and loud voice for creating discomfort and psychological torture to the listener.

    Jazakallahu Khaira

    Religion is a personal choice. It is not imposed. God has made religion easy. Allah says in the Qurn:

    وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ

    He did not place any constraint on you in [the] sharī‘ah [He has given you].

    God does not wish to burden you.

    and when there comes a hardship it suggests the easy ways to perform a religious duty.

    The prophet used to ensure the people’s comfort; therefore, it is forbidden to recite the Quran loudly, as this may disturb others.

    Now the law does not allow the use of loudspeakers except for Azaan. If the Molvi saheb violates the law, you may file a complaint against him.
