What does a person replace music with when giving it up, and what is the ruling on purposeful and beloved Islamic anthems (anasheed), such as Maher Zain's anthem: "Insha Allah"?
The foremost for a Muslim is to become accustomed to reciting and reflecting upon the Qur’an; for it is the most beneficial thing for his heart and his religion.
