Article Writing Competition!!!

 The month of April signs the 1st year anniversary for the Becauseimmuslim blog. In order for us to celebrate this milestone and the success of the blog thus far, Becauseimmuslim is having its first ever article writing competition. A person must choose one of the following topics to write about:

1) In the Qur'aan and Sunnah, musical instruments are governed as haraam for various reasons, yet, they are currently playing a great role in our Islamic songs with the excuse of attracting the muslim youth towards Islam and away from the western way. Is this excuse justifiable?

2) Allah says in the Qur'aan: "...And made you into Nations and Tribes, that you may know each other." (49:13)
Discuss your views on the practice of inter-cultural and inter-racial marriages, with the mention of the ayat above.

3) Today, television has mostly become a means of corrupting and negatively influencing the younger, as well as the older generation as it full of fitnah. Should television officially be ruled as haraam for all muslims?


The rules of the competition are as follows:
1) The article must be 400-450 words
2) The article must refer to at least 1 Quraanic ayat or. hadith.
