No art on TV during Ramadhan

No art on TV during Ramadhan

From Media Indonesia

As in previous years, TV stations will be airing special pre- dawn programs during Ramadhan to present lectures delivered by Muslim religious teachers.

In order to make the atmosphere of these programs religious and different from entertainment, the stations should give an opportunity to teachers of high quality rather than just the popular ones.

In addition, as those that are invited to be on Ramadhan programs should be people of good morality, these clerics should not be rubbing shoulders with artists and comedians, because most of those stars cannot set moral examples by Islamic standards.

This can be noticed in their attire, poses, manners, speech and jokes. Worse still, the programs with artists may involve gossip, while they do not realize or pretend to be unaware that gossiping is a sin.
