Q: I work with non-muslims where we sit four in a room. They have a radio and music is played for the entire duration of the day. This off course has a huge affect on my concentration, ability to perform zikr and on my heart as I do not listen to music Alhamdulillah. This at times becomes intolerable but I cannot do anything about it as this will not be understood by anyone. I so desire to find myself in a work environment where it is peaceful and where the praises of Allah Ta’ala can be made in abundance. What is my position and your advice. Please make dua for me for Allah Ta’ala to change my condition. Ameen.
A: You could apply ear plugs to keep out the sound of the music.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
