@omar_sznn: “Please stop using Quran verses in your songs.”
@boubakar_sadeek: “Qur’an verses for song is bad fr ❌❌.”
@sulaimanabdulbasit5: ”my problem is he should atleast remove the verses there cos that’s doesn’t make sense combining Quran recitation to a song that would be probably played at a club or unholy places.”
@abu.princo: “Seyi please don’t add Quran content to your music.”
@zarsbby333: “this is very I mean VERY disrespectful to us Muslims, our religion and the Quran, you should respect yourself and remove the Quran as your intro. May Allah guide you.”
@olachillex: “Stop adding Qur’anic verses to your music, What correlation does it have?”
@rukayyaaaa.a: “Nooooo this is inappropriate, very very inappropriate. How were you okay with adding the verses of the holy Quran to your music???? How does that make sense to you?????”
@ayoabdullahii: “Salaamu alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuhu. It’s really better we keep mute and not say anything than be ignorant about what we don’t know. In Islam there is nothing like I THINK. If you don’t have any Qur’an verse or any Hadith that justifies our argument, then let’s avoid being ignorant about it. The fact that most of us still sing songs doesn’t mean it’s still not haram. May Allah guide everyone one of us to the right path.”
@oyin_mix_mola: “Abeg make we rest! We should be proud he is promoting Islam ☪️”
@itz_queen_zeee: “This is not good 👩🏽🦯using The Quran to make music is the worst thing anyone can do. That’s an insult to our religion.”
