NO. We just go on with our lives. Some people say that you can only listen to 'anasheed'; others say that you can listen to music if it does not contain bad words; others say that you can listen to music as long as it doesn't affect you or stop you from praying and stuff;while others say that music is haram whatsoever, because music and Quran can't meet in the same heart. Bimzoori 04-08-03, 05:20 PM Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem... Well, the topic of Music in Isblam is quite a big one.. But I will rtry to give the main points here... I will start with the hadeeth from Saheeh Al-Bukhari: "Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments.... " There are two ways we understand from this hadeeth that music is haram: -First of all, the prophet uses the word "permit" --in Arabic Yasta7illoon-- which means it has been prohibited by Sharee'a, but the people made it permissable... -Secondly, the mentioning of music came along with prohibited acts such as Zinaa and alcohol... Some scholars refer to verses form the Quran that indicate the prohibition of music.. take this verse as an example: "And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…"[Luqman 31:6] From Tafseer Al-Sa'di : "this includes all manner of haraam speech, all idle talk and falsehood, and all nonsense that encourages kufr and disobedience; the words of those who say things to refute the truth and argue in support of falsehood to defeat the truth; and backbiting, slander, lies, insults and curses; the singing and musical instruments of the Shaytaan; and musical instruments which are of no spiritual or worldly benefit... Another verse from the Quran: "Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Quraan)? And you laugh at it and weep not, Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements "[53:59-61] Ibn Katheer interprets the meaning of teh word "amusments" as singing... The only exeption to the rule of musical instruments is the Daff as it was used in weddings and joyfull occasions during the lifetime of the prophet... Allah knows best malak84 08-08-03, 05:01 AM salam everyone: as i asked one of the Imam's edges ago about this question , which has been throgh my mind long time ago, and he said that it depends on the type of music, for example if you listen to a song which talks about the country or war ,life ,poor people....etc i.e. somthin important that you have to think of, so thats fine , but if you are listening to other type of songs which can made you going to the wrong path for example love songs, swearing....etc .is haram, becouse your ears is listinig to somthing bad and you then learn bad things from that.and i think (as my opinion) that every part of your body has to do ibada, so your ears doing ibada by listing to good things, mouth to say nice words, eyes to watch good things.....etc, and they will be asked in the last day about the things that they were doing in the donya.:rolleyes: Big MO 08-08-03, 12:07 PM i really can't see how music can be haram if it doesn't distract a person from praying. malak84 08-08-03, 08:12 PM salam BM i think it does Wanderer 08-08-03, 09:50 PM Originally posted by Bimzoori The only exeption to the rule of musical instruments is the Daff as it was used in weddings and joyfull occasions during the lifetime of the prophet... Another verse from the Quran: "Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Quraan)?

You must give up your MP3 players, iPods, CD's, etc. to please your God. Bimzoori, wouldn't computer games also fall under the prohibitions against "Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements" ? ... and wouldn't the Sabla be "idle talk " ?

Can you believe that? :rolleyes: ... Bimmi, don't you listen to Music? Never have? Or never will? Bimzoori 09-08-03, 12:08 AM Originally posted by Wanderer Bimzoori, wouldn't computer games also fall under the prohibitions against "Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements" ? The secret word here is being Moderate... computer games can be a waste of time, depending on how moderately you consume it... "If they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto them from their Lord, they would surely have been nourished from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them there are people who are moderate, but many of them are of evil conduct. "[[6:55] Shinoda LP 09-08-03, 12:10 AM So, everything is a sin if not consumed in moderation? Bimzoori 09-08-03, 12:23 AM Deleted.. :) Shinoda LP 09-08-03, 12:27 AM Have you read the philosophies of Plato? He had this idea of cleansing your own soul before you look at the outside world, and that being the only way to be closer to God ... or the way I look at it, perfection. Introspection, to be precise. ... To quote a few thoughts of his ... sex is good, as long as it is for reproduction purposes only. Eating is good, as long as it is to quench your hunger. .... Guess this analogy also falls in the same category.

Bimzoori 09-08-03, 11:44 AM Originally posted by Wanderer Then why wouldn't this justification via "moderation" apply to music, games, Sabla, and drinking wine ? I believe it does.. too much of anything is not good.. wine is haram in the first place.. so it doesnt apply here. Shinoda LP 09-08-03, 10:00 PM I could agree less Wandy ... specially when it comes to sex ... lol But, we've got to give it to him ... don't we? He thought of all this crap, way back in the days. :rolleyes: Wanderer 10-08-03, 03:30 AM Originally posted by Bimzoori I believe it does [moderation].. too much of anything is not good.. wine is haram in the first place.. so it doesnt apply here. Yes, but so too are music, musical instruments, idle talks, alcohol, etc. You have to show that the Quran allows music, musical instruments, idle talks, and by extension Sabla time and computer games, MSN, etc., are allowed in moderation. So far we see moderation in your comments not from the Quran about these particular things - indeed, we see them specifically forbidden, without mention of conditional moderation, in the Quran. Bimzoori 10-08-03, 12:35 PM Teachings of the Quran dont necesarily have to be specific.. because there are things that exist today which were not present 1400 year ago... we, as mUlsims, know that we should be moderate in all aspects of life.. we have been made for a reason..we have duties to fullfil.. not only towards Allah, but also towards the community... the time we have is precious and thus should not be wasted on silly things.. In the day of Judgmet we will be asked about how we spent our time/money and youth and whether we spent it in good or bad... Wanderer 11-08-03, 09:02 PM Originally posted by Bimzoori Teachings of the Quran dont necesarily have to be specific.. because there are things that exist today which were not present 1400 year ago... Of course, agreed. So back to answering the question with the information from the Quran - is music, musical instruments - and by extension MP3 players, etc., dancing, playing games of chance - say a board game with dice like Yatzee, and chit chat allowed ? This is not about how you feel about it, but what the Quran states/implies. It not about building foundations and prioritizing, but whether it is allowed or not. MusicMan 16-08-03, 02:23 PM Dear All, This is really something that Drags me down whenever I come across fanatic Muslims they always say that Music is Forbidden in Islam+I am a Muslim myself and I never saw any book that mentions Music has being Haram or forbidden in Islam! Few days back I got the Shock of my life when one of our Member staff gave away his Resignation from the Company saying that 'He Dosesn't Want To Earn Haram Money' I think the Guy has been Brain Washed and Gone nuts Like anyother Islamic Fanatic! The story of Cat steven's is a Perfect example for this Topic! - But Where did he came back in the End?! What Does the Music Means for you in your life?! Is it just a Time pass or just realxing?! Regards, Big MO 16-08-03, 02:49 PM i just realized after reading your post thatmusic is really haram. i therefore gonna throw away all my cds, all 700 of them. i'm gonna throw away my amplifier, cd player, the portable cd player and the two mp3 players. i'm gonna pray to allah very hard so he can forgive me for the 50 concerts i've been to and for listening to music every single day in the past 10 years. i'm gonna pray for forgiveness for going to bed listening to soft music and getting up to the sounds of New Jack Swing. astaghfer allah wallah wali altawfeeq MusicMan 16-08-03, 02:55 PM Lol What a Sense of Humor! For Me All I need is Discman in Hell! - The fire and Burn i can bear it But No Music than thats killing me! Big MO 16-08-03, 03:03 PM Originally posted by MusicMan For Me All I need is Discman in Hell! - The fire and Burn i can bear it But No Music than thats killing me! you wont be saying that when your a** is burning in flames (hopefully not inshallah). for me hell is playing heavy metal full blast in a confined space. but hey the good thing about hell is u get to see all the nice pretty female singers and actresses. Libellula 16-08-03, 03:53 PM Originally posted by Big MO but hey the good thing about hell is u get to see all the nice pretty female singers and actresses. I don't think they'll be so pretty to look at then. :rolleyes: fatak 16-08-03, 06:54 PM I found a site if you're interested....... Music is haram and poetry too........all things which take you away from Quran is NOt good for a muslim.......and western music is the worst...at least that is what I got from this article... http://www.wakeup.org/anadolu/05/4/mustafa_sabri_en.html What do you think? I think it's such nonsense and narrow minded.......and now Cat Steven's is put down by Saudis. http://catstevens.com/articles/00077/ But.....anyway have a look!!! Cheers fatak fatak 16-08-03, 07:05 PM Unfortunately, some Muslims believe that Music is prohibited/sinful in Islam._ According to Islam: Music that leads to sinful acts such as drugs, sex, violence, etc... is absolutely sinful in Islam._ But otherwise, how would it be sinful when Allah Almighty Himself allowed it to Prophet David peace be upon him? Narrated Abu Musa:_ "That the Prophet said to him 'O Abu Musa! You have been given one of the musical wind-instruments of the family of David.' __ (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Virtues of the Qur'an, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 568)"_ Let us look at Noble Verse 4:163 "We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms."_ Let us look at Noble Verse 17:55 "And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms." In the above Saying (Hadith) and Noble Verses, we clearly see that Allah Almighty did send the Book of Psalm to Prophet David peace be upon him._ We also see that Allah Almighty called that Book a gift._ If Allah Almighty allowed David peace be upon him and his followers to sing and play music, then how could we then claim that music is sinful and prohibited? You might just point out to the hardcore types this one... Good luck.. Cheers fatak_ 4-ever-young 16-08-03, 09:25 PM this was discussed before here (http://www.englishsabla.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=14549) hope this helps MusicMan 17-08-03, 01:43 PM i am so Glad that people have already taken the step of discussing things that concerns Music! I am not here to Judge others on their opinion, But for me Music is a Mircale of Almghty God Bestowed Upon Mankind - So why should it be Haram in anyway. As a matter of Fact I thank God for it.

Cheers fatak Silver Angel 19-08-03, 04:51 PM Beeen asking about it.. and Yes Music Is Haram...Its like u can listen to Quran instead of music.....But anyway.. we all still listen to music...as for me i Do... and i dont know if i can stop it.. Enigma 19-08-03, 05:10 PM It hasn't been fully proven that it's haram. The scholars themselves are separated into two groups: One who consider it haram and say it falls under 'lahu' from the Quran, thus it is forbidden. Another who say it is only haram when foul or inappropriate words are used. And they use the hadeeth's that Mohammed PBUH asked the people to bang on a drum and sing when he was marrying Aisha. Also el Na9ara (people of Madina) sang on a certain occasion, plus many of the goat herders would sing while on the job..... I've done alot of research on it.....seems to be undecided.

Scottish Gal 21-08-03, 05:22 PM It all comes down to what you are listening to. It simple. What are the lyrics? What is the singer conveying to the audience? There are many top singles with crazy lyrics, yet everybody accepts them and loves listengin and singing along with them. example/ songs like "i wanna have s** on the beach" - great summer hit 3/4 years ago and children were singing this song inthe street Other songs dedicated to their lovers, making it clear that only that person love is what concerns them most in their life. Such lyrics take you away from the rememberance of your Lord, when you liten to muzik then obviously disco and clubbing comes along with that. dancing, dancing with others, indecent behaviour, flirting, drnking everything you have to do to mix with the crowd who likes music..........dont deny this............one thing leads to another and it is true. When you listen to pop songs, dont u want to dress and act like them. copy their style and talk like them...Is that what you desire? to copy the kufar, disbeliever? If everything haram in this world then whats left? People with that thought are thought by me to be weak. Are you just concerned about this world? do you love this world so much that you feel angered when you are asked to sacrifice popular things happenin that majority people are into - like music? Which clearly is a dangerous thing that destructs the mind......... The life, that is so short, that is like an illusion, that is not perfect, that is not peaceful and what? that this is it? nothing after it? that your body turns to dust, and the molecules of our body are recycled for other plants and animals? Does it all end there? The greatest trick the devil pulled was to fool the world into believing he doesnt exist....................

"Ameen" Don Khaled 05-09-03, 03:53 AM Ayah, what's your point behind the reply? I do not see something saying "music is ALWAYS haram in any kind of mean". I only see "whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he surely strays off a manifest straying." Plus in the days of mohammed SAW, the music mainly was used for the "jawary" (DANCERS or whatever they are called) to dance for men, so it was more a SEX THING. The music used to give her a nice beat for shaking their butts. Imagine no music in your life? What a boring life? Logically, music makes you feel better, either a soft one, or pop, or romantic ones. I am sure GOD did not say "NO MUSIC AND FULL STOP". Ayah 05-09-03, 04:15 AM For Me All I need is Discman in Hell! - The fire and Burn i can bear it But No Music than thats killing me! but hey the good thing about hell is u get to see all the nice pretty female singers and actresses. And who say it's Haram? - A man who managed to Grow a Flip Flap Bread as his only achievement in life! Hadeeth?! - Which hadeeth? Who's Hadeeth? Where Hadeeth? When Hadeeth? A Man Who grows a Long Bread, Eats & $hits like everyone else! - Why should I listen to Him?! And when the extremists say "ALL kinds of music are haram". Then offer them two pennies for their tip, and move on your life. This is within this thread only.. we can see how some of the "muslims" think! and do we expect the ummah to stand?? is it how we should behave? I believe IF you have nothing to say or add a useful information to the Ummah then you better stay quiet. Because you'll be accounted for all what you say in the day of judgment. So please brothers and sisters think of every word you write before you type it down. May Allah guide us all to the right path ya rub.. Ameen Don Khaled 05-09-03, 05:04 AM Ayah, sali 3ala naby. I still did NOT get the answer from you. I believe IF you have nothing to say or add a useful information to the Ummah then you better stay quiet. This is the biggest problem which is facing our people. Because many are put down, they prefer to stay quiet. Do you think when you make people quiet then you are buying their minds? Believe me, you are mistake to think that way. Make people feel threatned by not speaking out, and this is what will happen, Hate will grow inside. I encourage people to speak out their mind and keep asking questions after questiong till they get convinced. Ofcourse, question differs from another. Ayah, Again I will ask you "Show me the hadith or aya from Quran which says DO NOT LISTEN TO MUSIC AND FULL STOP!". I asked a very simple question and want a simple answer. PS/I am not attacking you or anything, but I am confused because you are attacking me for something I still didn't understand while I get no answer except it was said, but with no source or anything. jack 05-09-03, 05:22 AM We sing at church. It is very much part of the whole religious experince. If you have ever been to an all black church you would know where the roots of rythm and blues began. If certain music offends you, don't listen to it. Personally I don't listen to c--r@p. Ayah 05-09-03, 05:25 AM Çááåã Õáí Úáì ÓíÏäÇ ãÍãÏ æ Úáì Çáå æ ÃÕÍÇÈå ÃÌãÚíä I'm really sorry brother if my posts "seemed" as i'm attacking you no no.. I'm not at all.. I was saying in general.. and I dint say that people should stop asking.. they should ask and know what's righta nd what's not but what I meant from being quiet that they either ÇãÑ ÈÇáãÚÑæÝ æ Çáäåí Úä ÇáãäßÑ or stay quiet i mean if they do something wrong then do it alone and not even teach others and let them feel it's ok to do it.. got me? it's like ÇáÇãÑ ÈÇáãäßÑ æ Çáäåí Úä ÇáãÚÑæÝ!! and about you question: Ayah, Again I will ask you "Show me the hadith or aya from Quran which says DO NOT LISTEN TO MUSIC AND FULL STOP!". I asked a very simple question and want a simple answer. As mentioned by bimzoori the ayat says it clear that it's idle talks.. "And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…"[Luqman 31:6] and in the hadeeth the prophet (peace be apon him) said: "Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments.... " and if you think it's not a Stright fwd saying "STOP IT" then even alcohol it doesnt say "STOP IT" but still it's haram. This is just to see who will obay Allah and who will not. Sorry again for even your thaught that I attacked you. Big MO 05-09-03, 05:33 AM Originally posted by Don Khaled The Quran is the reference for that. For example, it is a sin to watch naked ladies whom are not your wives. So if this music you are watching on video clip has naked women, then it is 7aram to watch. Does some song make you jerk off when you listen to it? Then that is 7aram. Does it make you hit your mother? Then 7aram. And so on. Ofcourse, if I am going to sit and define you what is bad and what is not, then we will sit long time. it's not always blck and white. there are many areas in between. Don Khaled 08-09-03, 02:18 PM Ayah, let's put it this way, in the Quran, there is NOTHING which says "Music is haram". The scholars have two opinions, one is haram and the other not haram. But the strongest evident showing that it is NOT haram. But I can "understand" why some scholars are against it. Because instead of listening most time to music, we can sit and listen to Quran. A valid point. But that does not give them the right to make listening to music haram. Music is relaxing in a way. Just listen to some classic music, and you will know what I mean. NOT that I listen to classic music. amo_l_oman 08-09-03, 05:18 PM Originally posted by jack We sing at church. It is very much part of the whole religious experince.

Hamd and Naat is also melodious recitation. Ajan is also that. I remember I read somewhere; there is evidence that proves Music is not Haram. Please allow me some time to find out the reference. What is Music? Combination of voice and instrument/ voice or instrument only. Sister 4-ever-young has provided a very valuable link above. Extract from the site: “Music should not be used as a form of stirring desires in man. This will definitely open the door for Satan, and this is what Islam goes against. So music can be lawfully or maliciously used.” Only the thing to understand why and how you are using. silver_ring 28-03-04, 05:20 PM Originally posted by silver_ring Islam And Music (http://english.islamway.com/bindex.php?section=lessons&lesson_id=323&scholar_id=34) shamsery its lesson for Shaikh : Mohamad AbdElHakim by english , just listen and u will find all answers :) Delicate 04-05-04, 11:44 AM Well I am sure most of heard that music is haram, and some Islamic schools agree on that, some say that it's okay as long as it doesn't contain violent words. Well my question is goes to the schools that say it's haram even if it doesn't have any bad words: Why is it haram? What in the music makes hearing it haram?? Are there any clear evidence from the Quran or Hadith that says it's haram? Note that, I am not against anyone, but I am just trying to understand :) Thanks amo_l_oman 04-05-04, 01:19 PM You might take a look at Silver Angel thread: http://www.englishsabla.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=14832 4-ever-young 04-05-04, 01:59 PM It is really so hard to let go of music? i mean is listening to Quran going to harm you in anyway? What is it that makes it so hard to stop listening to music..i was a music freak i would spend my money on cds etc memorizing the lyrics but i have decided Enough is enough..and i no longer listen or buy cds..but this decision wasnt made or acted upon over night it was gradual but i made it... And i always had this vision what if i have a car accident and die and i got music blaring..i mean will that be the last thing i hear! Cerulean 04-05-04, 04:52 PM Sorry but I dont agree with this. Listening to music isn't haram. Find me the aya that says so. So long as the music isn't offending God, I cant see why it should be regarded as a sin. I think I'm starting to understand the quote: "Feels so good, it must be a sin" :haha: Diva 04-05-04, 08:26 PM Originally posted by Cerulean Sorry but I dont agree with this. Listening to music isn't haram. Find me the aya that says so. So long as the music isn't offending God, I cant see why it should be regarded as a sin. It's not a matter of whether or not you agree with it. Some girls don't wear hijab for example because they're not 'convinced' that it's something they should do. Does that mean it's not haram? What is halal and haram is already decided. We can only choose to follow those rules. And like 4-ever-young said, there is no ayah in the quran that tells us exactly how we should pray. Does that mean we can pray however we want? Just because something's not explicitly mentioned in the quran doesn't mean it should be dismissed. sophis^catrina 05-05-04, 12:23 AM I think that what is haram is the environment in which normally accompanies music. For examle, night clubs, have music blaring, with people dancing and drinking. So definitely i would see that is haram. While if you play music alone in your room, just for some entertainment and sometimes to excerise to, I cannot see why that would it be haram. I also think it depends on what the music contains (e.g. bad language, lustful thoughts, etc). But then I could be wrong, and Allah knows best. 4-ever-young 05-05-04, 12:57 AM you cant justify when it is haram or halal...and ok we agreed that many scholars have not deicded upon this matter as it is compliacted then shouldnt we just be safe and stop listening to it ..as we might be sinning by listening to it.."better be safe then sorry" Arabian Princess 05-05-04, 09:31 AM youngy .. the link you provided in your previous posts give a justification that music isnt by itself haram. from the website : ".... Islam does not consider music as something haram. It just stipulates for music to keep its permissibility, it should not involve anything haram, it should not be taken as a means of committing unlawful things. Music should not be used as a form of stirring desires in man. This will definitely open the door for Satan, and this is what Islam goes against. So music can be lawfully or maliciously used. ...." 4-ever-young 05-05-04, 11:58 AM yes i know what it says Thanks arby..but as i said above many scholars are debating whether it is right or wrong so i think as a precaution just dont listen to it NaBHaN 05-05-04, 01:32 PM I just think that people who totaly stop listening to music , thinking that its haram and all..arent really confident of themselves..and their faith in god , and are just weak. why stop music if u're not going to have bad thoughts and ideas? if u know that u can never be influenced in a bad way.. cause u know that u're strong enough to do whats right.

No, Nabhan, I dont agree with you in this. If a person strongly beleives its Haram and is convinced with it .. I think I respect him/her decision to stop listening to music .. If someone is giving up something for Allah's cause is itself is enough and is given Thawab for that.

Oh really? If that's the case then why not drink alcohol if you know you're not gonna get drunk or do something stupid? Why not walk around butt naked if you know you're not going to turn ppl on or be inclined to do something you're not supposed to do? Why not sleep with a GF/BF if you know you love them and are serious about them and intend to marry them? Need I go on??? And I totally disagree that those ppl are weak. In fact they are stronger that those who do what's haram but don't have the strength/self-control to stop themselves. A weak person's someone who just goes along with whatever everyone else is doing even if they're not 100% sure/convinced that they're doing the right thing. And they're never able to admit when they're wrong but rather hide behind excuses to justify their actions. Only a strong person will have the confidence to stand up for themselves and what they believe in even if there's no one to support them. That's the difference between lions and mice.

Let's say someone just has a pint of beer. Or even 1/2 a pint. You can't really get drunk on that, can you? It won't really affect you that much so why not do it? Do you see the point?? Originally posted by NaBHaN seriously .. WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT MUSIC? I DONT GET IT? WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD IT BE HARAM? When God forbids something it's good to know the reason why it's forbidden because then we don't feel like we're 'depriving' ourselves of something unnecessarily. But if we don't know the reason we still have to follow the rule. That's how it works. We can't just make up our own rules then claim we're doing what God's asked us to do. Originally posted by NaBHaN I dont believe in taking things to the extreme. to be moderate and manage between the two.. thats would have been the best solution. If something's forbidden then it's forbidden. There are no extremes. If there were then it would be alright for muslims to have a glass of wine or 2, right? Isn't that being moderate? :duh: I don't know if anyone knows for sure whether listening to music is haram but in situations like this there's a hadith that says (ÇÊøÞæÇ ÇáÔÈåÇÊ).

Moderation is the key point of our Muslim life: once we can deal with things around us in a moderate way, so as they do not affect our Deen, we will also have the ability to distinguish what is haram or halal without breaking Islamic teachings and this applies to all, music included. sophis^catrina 06-05-04, 03:36 AM Originally posted by NaBHaN now would u all tell me..what harm can music bring to u..and the people around u?

The musician is to be loved and venerated. I think some people are asking the wrong question: "how do you reach the conclusion that music is permitted?". Surely if it was forbidden, the Holy Books would have said so. They don't. Any of them. 4-ever-young 08-05-04, 11:04 AM Mimosa as i said before in one of my previous posts..you say its not written in any holy book and i take it that you are reffering to the Quran..but in the Quran does it tell us how to pray and how many times? Arabian Princess 08-05-04, 11:21 AM Personaly, I have read the two argument and I am leaning more towards the ones that says that its not haram if it wasnt used into a haram way. By saying that, listening to it day and night is not the right way, making it distract you from reading Quran and so. Also, listening to haram words that have a disctructive meanings. Watching it in videoclips that have haram enivroments. Everything could be used in a good way and a bad way, we have to use our minds to use it in the best way suitable .. and Allah knows best! mimosa 08-05-04, 11:23 AM Nope, but it does say you should pray, and so do the other holy books in your religion. So you know you should pray, and have developed a tradition on how. The Qur'An says nothing about music being wrong; it even says you should sing your praise (like Christians and Jews do), and that the angels do it too: The Believer [40.55] Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true; and ask protection for your fault and sing the praise of your Lord in the evening and the morning. The Counsel [42.5] The heavens may almost rend asunder from above them and the angels sing the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth; now surely Allah is the Forgiving, the Merciful. Qaf [50.39] Therefore be patient of what they say, and sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting. If God didn't want you to have music, He would have said so. He didn't, and if someone else does, they're making it up. Arabian Princess 08-05-04, 11:46 AM I dont know why the translation of the word "sabih - ÓöóÈøÍ " was translated to sing?? :confused: mimosa 08-05-04, 11:50 AM How would you translate it in this context? Azure 08-05-04, 12:26 PM I know it's been a while ... enough lets get to the matter at hand :) I totaly agree with 4-ever-young and i have to mention that she did not say "MUSIC is HARAM" (and it's not HALAL either), she just meant it won't do a person any good when it matters most, so a person should do something useful with his time and mind instead of injecting his/her head with useless temporary satisfactory songs. Originally posted by Arabian Princess By saying that, listening to it day and night is not the right way, making it distract you from reading Quran and so. Also, listening to haram words that have a disctructive meanings. Watching it in videoclips that have haram enivroments. If what you are saying is true than all forms of music now a days are considered "BAD", because everyone listen to music day and night, in the car, while studying, head phones...etc. most of the songs now a days have words that are bad or at least stimulating in a wrong way and the videos are getting worse by the minute need I go on, it seems to me people just want to give themselves excuses to listen to music and beleive me nobody can convince anyone if a person thinks what wrong he/she is doing is right I stopped listening to music just recently and I have discovered new joy of memorizing Quran and listening to it in the car and if anyone does that or atleast memorized a few chapters from Quran he/she would never want to listen to music again try and tell me if i'm wrong whether music is HARAM or HALAL, it won't benifit any one in the end. please read what for everyoung wrote and try to be honest with yourselves and answer the question that's all and Allah knows best SadLad 08-05-04, 12:49 PM Originally posted by mimosa How would you translate it in this context? I think that Sing is not the right translation for the word (ÓÈÍ) sabih. Sing is (Ûäí) gani and not sabih. I don't know where you have got your translation from, but it does not seem to be that accurate for, as far as I know, the word sabih does not envolve anything related to music. Besides, the translator maybe meant the kind of songs that contain no music and which is called doa3 or nashid or something like that. Here is a translation of the ayah you mentioned quoted from islamfact.com 130. Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy. Namika 08-05-04, 01:03 PM i just have one thing to say.. no matter what Quran can not be translated to any other language cuz this way, like what mimo showed above, it loses its true meaning and other people might understand it in another way... there are some words in Arabic that you can not translate to English, like the word "sabih" there is no such related word in English and "sabih" for sure does not mean singing...

I hadly listen to music .. only in car (and not in the morning coz then I prefer to listen to Quran), but yet, I cant say that I dont listen to music coz I do .. I wont be denying that fact and I beleive that the intial idea isnt whats wrong, its how people are using it!! Songs have wounderful words, words that every human needs we cant deny that!! Personaly I listen to the words not the music and this is why I like listen to poems read by different poets! I highly respect Quran and I think its wrong to compare it to songs .. Quran is a duty of all of us .. if you compared songs with lectures, anasheed, poems then I would totally agree with you .. its more useful to listen to these things.. but something being more useful than another thing doesnt make haram! Ive discussed this with many people, and as you said I dont think you will come to a conclusion .. as its said: "ikhtilaf al ulaamaa rahma - differences between scholars is a mercy" and as long as I agree with a scholar on the issue of music, I would stick to it! Enigma 09-05-04, 01:27 AM I listen to music, I've been told countless times that it is haram by Islamic Studies teachers but I never really listened to them (if I did it only lasted two weeks) on the basis that there really wasn't a convincing reason. I'm sorry but I need to know WHY something is wrong for me to stop doing it. I read tons and tons of fatwas on this; scholars can't seem to agree so I use my own brain to think it out and here's what I think: I think that Islamis practical; it recognizes the fact that we are human beings and need relaxaion and some enjoyment just like food and sex. If the music you are listening to is purely for those reasons then why would it harm you or anyone else? If it encourages bad deeds/feelings, sins, or even arouses you then I'd say thats where its considered haram. Taking into consideration that I don't have LP blasting the stero at the time of the athan or the prayer, that I don't sing at the top of my voice in front of strange men ... etc. It was not mentioned in the Quran (THAT is why you cannot compare it to alcohol) yet it is mentioned in hadith a few times: 1.Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk (clothes), the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful.' Although this hadith is in Sahih Al-Bukhari, its chain of transmission is not connected to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and this invalidates its authenticity. 2. "From among my followers there will be some people who will drink wine, giving it other names while they listen to musical instruments and the singing of female singers; Allah the Almighty will make the earth swallow them and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.” But this does not necessarily mean that music is haram, because what the hadith is about is indulging themselves in luxuries. Soo.... the hadiths that DO mention music are either ambiguous or inauthentic. And all are declared weak. --------------- “Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul.” (Al-A`raf: 157) A quranic verse which states that only what is FOUL is prohibited. Music is only foul when it encourages sins and such as I've mentioned above. ------ Now I think that if it was really HARAM then we would have already reached that conclusion centuries ago. Its not mentioned in Quran, its mention in hadith is not authentic, if it was by ijma'a then we would have agreed already. Quias? There would be something equal that was proven in the Quran or Sunnah to match it up to..... At the end of the day, you have a mind and you make your own choices. If you think its bad for you then DON'T listen... if you are confident enough to know that its only doing you good then do as you like. I'm not making a fatwa here but this is how I came to my conclusion about this :) Enigma 09-05-04, 01:38 AM Originally posted by 4-ever-young Lets imagine its judgment day you are on a scale now your good deeds and bad deeds are being valued. On what part of the scale would music fall in? Let’s hypothetically think that your bad deeds are out weighing the good deeds and you need good deeds BADLY!!! Would music help you out in that situation? 4-ever-young, I think it would be absolutely horrible if a person ended up on the day of judgment with an equal scale of good and bad deeds and the only thing left was music to account for! First of all, that would say something pretty obvious about the person; we are told that our good deeds are multiplied by seven, and then... ( I dont remember the whole equation but it ends up around thousands!) And in addition to that for every good deed you merely THINK of doing is accouted for..... if you have bad deeds to equal all that then you must be a pretty terrible person :) But you know what? I personally believe that even a person in that situation would go to heaven, not because I claim to know who will go to heaven but let me ask you how many times you finish your ayah or surah with the words 'In Allah '3afoor Ra7eem' ? Enigma 09-05-04, 01:44 AM To end this, music may not be harm but it’s not halal either and we are better off without it especially on judgment day. A person should ask him/her self questions. For those who listen to music a lot and think that they may go crazy if they were deprived from it: -How often do I read/listen to Quran the same way I listen to music? -How many chapters of Quran have I memorized? Compared to GB of mp3 that occupying our heads! -The money and time wasted on Cds(RO 5 x cds owned),mp3 devices, downloading have I spent to get to listen to music..instead I could have used the time and money to help the needy I don't understand how people compare Quran to music :tiered: Thats awfully degrading! Reading Quran is a form or WORSHIP, listening to music is a pastime! If you have spent all day at work, working for your family to support them, this is considered holy right? This in itself is a form of worship. So is studying! And you've prayed your 5 prayers with a complete neeya.. don't you think you've earned some time of relaxation? People don't take into accountability all the things we do everyday that are condidered a form of worship. Heck even eating can be a form of worship if you make the neeya and say the du3a. Islam ENCOURAGES you to relax, its a practical peaceful religion. Allah SWT knows that in order to be at our fullest the next day then we need to take it easy for awhile. Music helps people to relax.. I don't understand why people like to complicate the religion and make it into this extreme strict dictatorship. Islam came to make our lives easier :) NaBHaN 09-05-04, 03:06 AM Well said enigma.. well said.:app: Diva 09-05-04, 03:19 AM Originally posted by Enigma I'm sorry but I need to know WHY something is wrong for me to stop doing it. Ok...lemma ask you this 1 question. What harm is there in plucking your eyebrows? There's a hadith that says (áÚä Çááå ÇáäøÇãÕÉ æÇáãÊäãÕÉ ) which curses the women who pluck their eyebrows and other ppl's. From what I know the reason behind its prohibition is because it changes the way you look. But what's the harm in that? There's another hadith that says (Åäø Çááå Ìãíá íÍÈ ÇáÌãÇá ) so that kinda encourages ppl to take care of their appearance, does it not? So let's say a woman gets her eyebrows 'cleaned' and walks around looking like a muslim woman, i.e. wearing a hijab, appropriate clothes, no make-up...etc. Most ppl might not even realise that she's had her eyebrows done cuz the difference might be subtle. But even if it's not. What harm could that do? I think when ppl say that music's haram they mean the music we listen to nowadays. I don't think there's a total ban on listening to music cuz I know that songs that are created using a few musical instruments (like the daf) are permissible but the majority of the songs we listen to today (if not all) are what the religious scholars have a problem with. And to be honest, maybe there isn't a single ayah or hadith that prohibits music (I wouldn't know) but the ahadith that you mentioned (which you say are inauthentic) are enough to prove that there has always been some controversy about this issue. And in such situtations we're ordered to avoid whatever's uncertain (ÇÊøÞæÇ ÇáÔÈåÇÊ). Why take the risk of doing something which might be haram and be punished for it? How much will our lives change if we stopped listening to music? It's not like we're talking oxygen here! There are plenty of other things we can do to 'relax'. You said that music helps ppl relax. Funny...I heard many ppl say that about the quran. Enigma 09-05-04, 03:26 AM Diva, did you take the hadith in school about plucking eyebrows? They listed Four reasons, one was as you mentioned because it changes the way you look and thats a form of deceit, another was because you are changing Allah's creation (he intended you to look a certain way), because its worthless time consuming and fourth because its hurtful to your body. There have even been some women who have developed diseases from constant plucking. So let's say a woman gets her eyebrows 'cleaned' The 'shaping' is haram, I've read fatwas of scholars saying that cleaning was okay. ;) Diva 09-05-04, 03:35 AM Originally posted by Enigma Diva, did you take the hadith in school about plucking eyebrows? Yes I did :blush: Originally posted by Enigma They listed Four reasons, one was as you mentioned because it changes the way you look and thats a form of deceit, another was because you are changing Allah's creation (he intended you to look a certain way), because its worthless time consuming and fourth because its hurtful to your body. You're right...but if you're only 'cleaning' your eyebrows how much of these actually apply? Are you convinced that these are good enough reasons?? Originally posted by Enigma There have even been some women who have developed diseases from constant plucking. How many? Enough to justify a total ban on the millions of women who never got anything more than a little scar maybe? And as you said it's from constant plucking. But if a woman was only gonna pluck her eyebrows once in her lifetime and not experience any of the above, it's still haram. Originally posted by Enigma The 'shaping' is haram, I've read fatwas of scholars saying that cleaning was okay. ;) Yeah but other scholars insist to this day that it's haram. What are we to do? Follow the one that's given a more favourable judgement to us and hope that they're right? Diva 09-05-04, 03:51 AM Am I supposed to translate that I wrote in my post (the 1 above)? All 3 of them basically say that music is haram. Enigma 09-05-04, 04:11 AM Yes you're supossed to translate :scratch: Diva if you want to talk about eyebrow plucking, then maybe open a thread so we don't go off topic? We've had some in the past, I've stated my opinion there: Link (http://www.englishsabla.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17230&highlight=eyebrow+plucking) The shi3a don't even consider it haram. :os Diva 09-05-04, 04:24 AM Originally posted by Enigma Yes you're supossed to translate :scratch: Oh God :tiered: I'm really not good at that sorta thing and I'm too tired to at the moment anyway.

I only brought it up as an example. Opinions are divided on that issue as well so if I did start a topic we'll only be going round in circles with another!! Originally posted by Enigma The shi3a don't even consider it haram. :os Interesting...I never knew that. Thanx for the link anyway. Will check it out. mimosa 09-05-04, 08:45 AM So nobody has a translation for "sib7"?! OK, let me give you a better one. In English, rather than "sing", we also use "chant", in the context of tuneful recitation of holy texts or words of religious devotion. That's probably a better translation. But it's still musical rather than the simple spoken word. By the way, the translation I referred to is the same on-line Qur'An that a lot of members here quote from - I found it from you guys! The simple fact is that the Qur'An says nothing about music being bad. If some people want to put salt and pepper on it, that's their business. But it's nothing to do with Islam as far as I can see. Namika 09-05-04, 09:15 AM Better be safe than sorry, that is what I always say. And as Diva said "avoid whatever's uncertain (ÇÊøÞæÇ ÇáÔÈåÇÊ)"..... Arabian Princess 09-05-04, 09:21 AM Mimo, I read a translation of the Quran we have at home and it translated "sabi7" to glorify .. I dont think there is an exact translation for that. fatak 09-05-04, 09:24 AM Well all I know for sure.....is that heavy metal music is from hell for sure..... fatak Namika 09-05-04, 09:57 AM MUSIC IN ISLAM Introduction In recent years, certain developments have taken place which has brought the subject of music as an extremely significant issue. Music has spread to such an extent that it is afflicting every muslim in this modern era. Today, individuals are being confronted by a situation where one is forced to listen to music whether by choice or without. Music is played in nearly all department stores and super markets. Even whilst walking in the streets, we find cars blaring with music. No matter which direction we go, we are blasted with music. The increasing popularity of music, which is prevalent in our society poses a tremendous danger for muslims. Music is Haraam References within the context of the Holy Qur`aan along with the Hadith of the Prophet confirm that music is haraam. Interpreters of the Qur`aan have defined the term `lahwal hadith` which is mentioned in the Qur`aan as: 1) Singing and listening to songs. 2) Purchasing of male and female singers. 3) Purchase of instruments of fun and amusement. When Sayyidana Abdullah Ibne Mas`ood , a very close companion of our Prophet was asked about the meaning of the term `lahwal hadith`, he replied “I swear by Him besides whom there is no other God,that it refers to ghinaa (singing ).” This statement, he repeated three times. This view is unanimously supported by the four Khalifas, the eminent Sahabaah, Tabi`een, the four Imaams and other reliable Islaamic scholars and authorities. One hadith from the Bukhari Shareef, the most authentic Book of Hadith, further confirms unlawfulness of music and singing : `There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif ( musical instruments ).` Detailed analysis of the arabic word `ma`aazif ` shows that it refers to musical instruments, the sounds of those musical instruments and singing with the accompaniment of instruments. Closer analysis of the wordings of the Hadith establishes the prohibition of music. Firstly, the words `seek to make lawful ` shows that music is not permissible, as logically one can only seek to make lawful that which is not allowed. Secondly, if music was not prohibited, then it would not have been brought within the same context as fornication and wine-drinking. MUSIC - IT`S EFFECTS Muslims are aware that nothing has been prohibited by Allah except that which is harmful to the welfare of a Muslim individual and the society as a whole. The divine attribute behind the prohibition of music can be comprehended by looking into the diverse influence music can have. Experiments carried out by doctors and professors have confirmed that the music of today is such that it does not only affect the brain, but each and every organ of one`s body. There is a close relationship between music and bodily movements. We find that people listening to music automatically start tapping their fingers and feet, as if the music is permeating in their blood. It is also proved that music affect`s one`s emotions, increases arousal in terms of alertness and excitement and also leads to various physiological changes in the person. In a psychology experiment, it was found that listening to moderate type of music increased one`s normal heart beat, whilst listening to rock music the heart beat increased even further, yet people claim that music has no effect. It is a very ignorant and misguided attitude to percieve music as a form of pleasure and passing of time, since the messages of today`s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom. We find that the whole world is obsessed with the kufr idea of freedom, i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc. In western schools and universities, we observe independence, free expression and secular thinking being encouraged. This idea of freedom, “ It`s my life, I`ll do what I want” is a predominant, underlying theme of today`s music. It is being used as a means for drilling western ideologies, which are totally contrary to Islamic Shariah and values, into the minds of Muslims. One should abstain from evil audacities such as listening to music and encourage others to do the same too. MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GUIDE US ALL TO THE STRAIGHT PATH- AMEEN. fatak 09-05-04, 10:07 AM We find that the whole world is obsessed with the kufr idea of freedom, i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc. Is there any other kind of freedom? I find your remarks so silly.

I don't see how anyone can get round this. Unless someone can prove that its inauthentic. Thanx for providing these ahadith in English, Blood Rose (although you probably didn't even realise I was looking for a translation!). lulu 12-05-04, 06:12 AM To all Muslims just wanted to say something... Insted of listening to music you could spend time learning Quraan because it's our duty to do so and you won't end up arguing. I don't think any of us in here (correct me if i am wrong) learnned Qurran ( i mean knowing the meanings of all ayat and how powerful every letter,word.. etc. is) even the Ulama are still learning from Qurran now what are we to say about that? Please insted of listening to music use the time to learn something from Quraan..ok i know you will say this is the way we relax you could find another way to relax for example.....go and listen to the waves, read,take a relaxing bath, draw, look at the stars at night...etc and above all the best way to relax is to read or listen to THE HOLY QURAAN. A WINNER USES TIME TO GAIN NOT LOSE OR GET EQUAL Soulless 12-05-04, 07:18 PM [/look at the stars at night :app: :hyper: Try To Read the holy quran at the mid night alone in a dark place in order to get rid of Evil Spirits and Jinn ..

I didn't say that....Do you listen to music 24/7??? i don't think so. i will make it clear for you....."INSTED" OF LISTENNING TO MUSIC YOU CAN USE THAT TIME TO READ,LEARN THE HOLY QURAAN.....IT COULD BE 1 HOUR 2 OR LESS AS YOU WISH . At the end god is the one who will judge us ....it's up to you... we won't be in the same grave. Cerulean 14-05-04, 03:07 AM Well, Lulz instead of comin' online, u could spend ur time reading Qura'an. At the end god is the one who will judge us ....it's up to you... we won't be in the same grave. LOL! What a relief! :D Anyway, I dont wanna pick up a fight now. I'm a peaceful person (who happens to be very mean and sarcastic :rolleyes: ) so I'm gonna end it at this. I just hope people focuss on the BIG issues rather than listening to music, etc. As far as I'm concerned, we humans have a right to enjoy life.. and if listening to music makes me happy, then let it be. It wasnt mentioned in the Quran, and that's good enough for me. Sometimes we need to use our common sense (seems like its least common :duck: ) rather than follow so-called religious people who regard everything as a sin. My two "baisas". :haha: Black-Cobra79 15-05-04, 01:36 AM I dont think there is anything wrong with Arabic music because all the singers stick to one subject and its love.

Thired point isn't listening to music considerd as a waste of time and humans are asked to spend their time in this life for things for useful things that will make them happy in the hereafter. There is also a Hadith saying what it means that "the halal is clear and the haram is clear and between them there are uncertain things ...." so shoudn't we avoide the things in between them if we assume there is no clear evidence let alone the amount of evidences which suggest that music is haram even indirectly. sanwin25 16-05-04, 08:18 PM Thired point isn't listening to music considerd as a waste of time and humans are asked to spend their time in this life for things for useful things that will make them happy in the hereafter Some would argue that spending so much time on an Internet discussion board would also be classified as a waste of time..... }My Immortal{ 17-05-04, 02:44 AM I dont know if Music is Harram or not but by reading Bimzouri's posts and some other members i can see that they're are actual verses of the Quraan that states that music is harram. So to me..it is harram..but that doesnt mean that i dont listen to music. Anyway the only reason i posted is because i've just read the entire thread and i have one thing to say : I CANT STAND MUSICMAN! NaBHaN 18-05-04, 01:22 AM Originally posted by }My Immortal{ I CANT STAND MUSICMAN! thats why he's banned. ;) ----------- anyways.. this whole music is haram discussion will never come to an end.. and so i would just say that even if it was.. there is no way i would stop listening to it cause i dont believe that it causes any kind of harm to me or anyone around me. those who stop .. well then good for them.. they can lead a sad and dull life.. its none of my business. 4-ever-young 18-05-04, 12:55 PM Nabhan You simply think that life without music is sad and dull but on the contrary as i subsituted music with Quran and i am very happy... you really dont know what you are talking about!

Scorpio27 26-05-04, 03:40 PM If Music is Haram, then living is impossible. Where in the Koran it’s written that Music is Haram? Scorpio27 26-05-04, 03:46 PM [al-Muzammil 73:4.7] Or add (a little) thereto - and chant the Qur'an in measure, This is THE ONLY VERSE in the entire Koran which even vaguely refers to something which MIGHT possibly mean SINGING (although it most likely has nothing to do with music). The Psalms of Kind David are mentioned FIVE times in the Koran: [Al-Imran 3:184.23] And if they deny thee, even so did they deny messengers who were before thee, who came with miracles and with the Psalms and with the Scripture giving light. [an-Nisa' 4:163.44] Lo! We inspire thee as We inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as We inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as We imparted unto David the Psalms; [bani Isra'il 17:55.32] And thy Lord is Best Aware of all who are in the heavens and the earth. And we preferred some of the prophets above others, and unto David We gave the Psalms. [Saba' 34:10.17] And assuredly We gave David grace from Us, (saying): O ye hills and birds, echo his psalms of praise! And We made the iron supple unto him, [al-Fatir 35:25.25] And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), and with the Psalms and the Scripture giving light. The Koran even says that the birds and the hills are commanded to praise God with the Psalms, yet not once does the Koran instruct Muslims to recite the Psalms. The words "song" "songs" "musical" "sing" "singer" "singing" "melody" "tune" "tuneful" "melodious" DO NOT APPEAR ONCE IN Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthalls English translation of the Koran. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/3425/page186.htm Soulless 26-05-04, 03:46 PM Originally posted by NaBHaN no comments... ur question is lame. :) Lame :) okay Shikh Nabhan as you like :) ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] Shinoda : you are not muslim so you should not discuss here in this thread ... go and search for some thing else in your religion :) :wave: Soulless 26-05-04, 03:50 PM Originally posted by Hasnain If Music is Haram, then living is impossible.

They are part of the most beautiful creations of God. As long as they do not call on the people or encourage them to commit sins, they are for the TRUE BELIEVERS TO ENJOY while remembering God with every beautiful note or rhythm. Those who prohibit what God never did in the Quran will be surprised on the Last Day when the messenger of God will complain to God from them http://www.submission.org/music.html Soulless 26-05-04, 04:07 PM So Mr. Hasanat .. you want to say that there are some Forbidden types of music and some of them are Halal ... i just want your Opinion in this Lyrics ..
