*OH BABA-GOD!!!*

Know, may Allah guide you, that each time you say Baba-God, three things are involved and the sweetest among the three is bitter.

*ONE*; It is either you are referring to Allah as BABA (father) and this means that you are affirming for Allah an attribute which he distances himself from. He says in Surah Al-Ikhlas, Verse 3;
*"He begets not, nor is He begotten."*

*TWO*; Or you are calling upon Jesus, and this is also something else in Islam because Allah says in Surah Al-Jinn, Verse 18:
*...call not upon any one with Allah.*

*THREE*; or you are merely saying it without attaching any importance to it. Alas, this is a way some people call upon their god and you are meant to keep yourself off from such. The prophet says; *Whoever imitates a group is among them.* Abu Dawood (3512). Albany grades it as hasan in saheeh Abu Dawud (3401).

I hope you can see this issue from the angles I see it now??

*IF YES*, then it is high time you stopped saying OH BABA-GOD when you need something from Allah or a calamity befalls you. *As a Muslim, you are expected to be calling upon Allah with his beautiful names.*

*IF NO*, I pray Allah open your eyes to the truth and grant you the ability to follow it.

May Allah grant us all sound us understanding of his deen.

Ok

So all these Muslim musicians are commiting Sin

Thank you for this.. But, I think it is based on the context at which it is used and the intention of using it.. Note that we use 'He' and 'Him' to qualify Allah.. To the best of my knowledge, using 'He' and 'Him' does not necessarily mean that we are referring to Allah as a male being.

I stand to be corrected though!

These "muslim musicians" are worse than the kuffar musicians!! By the way, music is haram, no sugarcoating it!!!!

As muslims we should try as much as possible to be different from the non-muslims in every way, every way, when they make a mockery of their religion which is their WAY(they are usually opinion oriented), we should not do the same. What the blessed sahabas didn't do back then is not worth doing now(acts of worship). It is even an insult to Allaah sef, "Baba God". OP jazakumullaahu khayran.

I don't think it is a big deal but correcting it in a more pleasing manner is the best.

In Hausa we also say UBANGIJI, and UBA means father, it is widely accepted. It just depends on the context.

Even the Arabians call their landlords رب البيت. The Lord of this house and it is not considered blasphemous.

Same goes for the English word landlord. Same goes for calling the Judge 'Lord'.

It is not a big deal but I as mentioned earlier, Saying Allah is the best.
