Evils Of Music

Musical Instruments eg drums,flute, piano, violin, etc is forbidden in Islam. Evidence abound in the Muslim Books that points to this. And what is called ''Islamic Music'' is just like saying ''Islamic wine'' or "Islamic Pork".

Al-Qaasim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Singing is part of falsehood. Al-Hasan (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: if there is music involved in a dinner invitation (waleemah), do not accept the invitation (al-Jaami by al-Qayrawaani, p. 262-263).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The view of the four Imaams is that all kinds of musical instruments are haraam. It was reported in Saheeh al-Bukhaari and elsewhere that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that there would be among his ummah those who would allow zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments, and he said that they would be transformed into monkeys and pigs… None of the followers of the imaams mentioned any dispute concerning the matter of music. (al-Majmoo’, 11/576).

Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The four madhhabs are agreed that all musical instruments are haraam. (al-Saheehah, 1/145).

Muslims who truly follow the Qur'an and traditions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) should avoid Musical Instruments. And whoever has an inquisitive mind can research further. A Muslim should not accept everything given to him until it is confirmed authentically proven in the Shar'iah of Islam.

Here are some evils of Music as found in the society today:

1. Hatred of Islamic laws & rulings: A lover of Music will detest Qur'anic recitation. This can be seen in the crop of kids/adults we have nowadays! To Memorise verses of the Qur'an or hadiths is a herculean task while "one Corner" or "Science Student" can be sung with no stress. The kids can even explain alternative names for drugs, wines and sex to you.

A lover of Music would be an unconscious Muslim. He would be lagging in his Islamic duties. This is understandable as music promotes trends and one can copy ''Michael Jackson'' in his trouser length but can't imitate the Prophet in the way he dresses. Also, we see so many forms of scarfs, Pashmina, and other substitutes for the full Hijab. Music tends to promote nudity especially for the females.

2. The Popular Musicians are unworthy Role models: The Role model of a Muslim Should be the Prophet, his wives and the companions! But how many Muslim knows about the way they lived? Alternatively, we are engrossed in discussing Musicians, their lifestyle, account balance, their girlfriends, baby mamas, the number of kid they had out of wedlock, the crowd at their shows, their dance moves, etc.

3. Evil Music: Music is being used to promote almost anything evil. Alcohol, drugs, weed, free mixing, sex, indecent dressings/nudity, lies, rape, stealing by trick (Yahoo Yahoo), etc are promoted by Music.

Also Gambling, Lesbianism, Gayism, Bisexualism, Transgender are gradually being promoted through Videos, sports and Entertainment as its being called.

Some music describe the details of females and sex. A growing lady who is a lover of music will see herself as a tool of sexual gratification by men! Fornication, dating/courtship are not sinful in the eyes of the Music lover. Music makes what Allaah forbid seem good to the ear.


And some will still be whiling away time with Music/Films during Ramadan!

Dear Muslims, It's high time we cured ourselves from Music addiction before it destroys our spirituality! May Allaah grant us understanding!
