in the mv you clearly see a dance around fire known for devilish sorcery & then disappearances by some kind of obvious magic. the practice of magic has no place in islam. “Practicing magic is an act of disbelief.[Quran 2:102]” hence the theme of the mv clearly shifts to fantasy.

the title being “make a wish” is also an opposition to islam because making dua/prayer to God instead of wishes, is being highlighted many times by the teachings of prophet (pbuh), hence making wishes doesn’t allude to islam at all. in fact, the title delimits itself from islam.
Considering the fact that they put their hands together is again marking this theme off from islam, because that is not how prayer is being taught by islamic teachings.

considering the architecture you have to draw the line between mv and the stage performance, because on stage you can indeed see the tombstone of the prophet’s grandson, WHICH IS WHY SM NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE. the boys have nothing to do with it though they might be forced to shut up

The common doors and entrances in the middle east are prior to the birth of islam. In fact they are traced back to the time of prophet moses (pbuh) hence, being used in hebrew culture, wandering through the region from arabia up to north africa, persia and the byzantine empire.

If the hexagon (seen many times in the mv) should bother someone, it should be christians. As a matter of fact, the hexagon is used by romans 36BC and adapted into christianity as a symbol for the creation of the world in 6 days. Hexagon is used all over the world &isn’t culture.

The architecture of the kaabah is not seen anywhere in the mv. But if the oriental symbols and geometry still bother you, although we now clearly see that this mv isn’t alluding to islam in any ways, let’s take a step back and look where the real +

I’m saddened that most muslims on twt do not report nct because they feel attacked by the mv, BUT because they have other issues regarding sm/nct. You might also consider the fact that stanning men you aren’t married to, is a debated topic in islam ;) so you might think twice +
