Happy British Muslims Is happiness the truth?
Pharrell Williams says: "Clap along if you feel happiness is the truth"
And the Muslims clap, dance and sing along in agreement.
Happiness = Truth?
Happiness is subjective, eating food, praying at night, playing computer games and killing Muslims from gunfighters all show up as a yellow contrast on an MRI machine, release of endorphins (happy chemicals in the brain). So we don't take a materialistic definition of happiness. (strange example I know)
Truth is objective, there is one correct explanation of reality, its provenance and our purpose. The truth is Islam.
Many a time happiness can be a negative thing, and sadness, many time in the life of Muhammad (pbuh) was actually a means to getting closer to Allah.
So why clap in agreement in religious fervour and devotion to a falsehood in this video..with or without music.
Instead it would be advisable to spend our energies reading about Pharrell Williams beliefs and giving dawa to him instead of dancing to his tune.
Disclaimer: Please do not use this video to insult those in the actual video. As Muslims we need to think about the fallacy of the ideas that are conveyed irrespective of the medium that was used.
