Youve got a simillar test to me
MashAllah, i had drifted away from music. Infact i deleted over 5 Gigabytes of MP3z, and stopped listening to my CD collection, actually i aint listen to a cd for long long time. But human weakness, and me not haven brothers who hate music around me , doesnt help.

n e idea on how you get rid of CDs? Burn , Bin or sell? My younger bro , destroyed his massive rap and hiphope collection, including all his 2 pac and dr dre albumsn! Alhadmoilillah.

gotta try harder though.

[Shaolin's-Finest]

Isn't Mos Def part of the NOI?

And haven't i clarified that music is haraam deen queen? Or are you just gonna follow your whims and desires?

[DeEn*QuEeN]

Ofcourse no one is perfect. But we must strive to be perfect to the bestest of our ability. The fact is that the Qur'an and hadith clearly indicate the prohibition of music, and it simply cannot be ignored or overlooked.

It doesn't neccesarily have to provoke lust etc but it is also a method used to waste time. Spare time is a blessing & should not be wasted. Something not many people understand until their time is up in this world.

so sorry that i dnt fall into ur perfect picture

Its my duty as your muslim brother to inform you if your doing wrong and attempt to correct you. But if you persist, you have been warned. I've given you the evidience, and now it's upto you to take it or leave it.

Follow your brain, not your heart.

It all starts off innocent, then it leads to bigger yet worser acts. Now lets take for example the NOI. They started of in the 1970-80s (i think) for Islam. Now what do you see today in american hiphop. Girls, drugs, sex and crimes. And some even commit shirk, and to think that it was first started to bring people to Islam. (Correct me if I've made a mistake)

Music is a waste of time. Those three-four minutes can be used elsewhere other than music.

Now, talking about today's Islam scene. Before it was all about nasheeds. Not long ago Islamic hiphop. Now some are doing Jihad tracks, and some tracks consist of one or two swear words.

Indeed it makes hypocrisy grow in the heart. Your telling others to do things you yourself don't even practise or do.

Now looking at this mini analysis above, you can see how things are slowly progressing. As more generations go by and ignorance prevails, the soul purpose of this Islamic hiphop will be lost.

You may feel this is a tool now, but afew more generations down when people will be more ignorant, you think they will use this as a "tool", or abuse it?

Last of all, if my memory serves me correct, one method the dajaal will use to bring people to his side is music. Not sure on its authenticity, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

<CENTER>Is Music Haram?</B>
Al-Haadi Vol. 10 Issue No. 4</CENTER>




<SCRIPT src="http://www.beautifulislam.net/scripts/font-body.js"></SCRIPT>Q: Is music haraam? Some people are propagating the view that it is not Haraam. Many Islamic songs are sung with the playing of the duff. Is it permissible to listen to them? Also, some Islamic songs are recorded with the zikr of “Allah” played in the background. It sounds very much like drums are being played. However, it is a group of people who are saying “Allah” in unison. Is there any problem in listening to this?




A: Hazrath Anas (R.A.) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “There will certainly be people from my Ummah who will attempt to legalize fornication, the wearing of silk (for males), the consuming of wine and the use of musical instruments” (Al-Jaamius Sagheer - Pg. 139). Indeed this prophesy of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is glaring before us. Despite the clear prohibition of the use of musical instruments, great efforts are being made to “legalize” their use. While some people wish to declare all music permissible, others are opening the door slowly by declaring that only the use of the “duff” is permissible. Thus it is necessary to examine the reality of these claims in the light of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

In Surah Luqman Allah Ta’ala declares: “And among the people are those who purchase idle talk in order to mislead others from the path of Allah in ignorance.”

Hazrath Abdullah bin Masood (R.A.) states emphatically that this verse was revealed regarding singing and musical instruments. The same has been reported from Hazrath Abdullah bin Abbas (R.A.) and Hazrath Jaabir (R.A.) (Tafseer Qurtubi). Thus when these illustrious students of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), who witnessed the revelation of the aayaat (verses) of the Qur’an are clear that this verse prohibits music and musical instruments, the “view” of any twentieth century “scholar” to the contrary holds no weight.




BLOCK OUT SOUND

Various Ahadith also clearly prohibit music and the use of musical instruments. Hazrath Abdullah bin Umar (R.A.) reports that once Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) heard the sound of the flute of a shepherd. He immediately placed his fingers into his ears (to block out the sound) (Musnad Ahmad). How tragic it is that our beloved Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) blocks his ears to the sound of music but his Ummah opens their ears wide to the same sounds. In another narration Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said: “ Verily Allah Ta’ala has sent me as a guidance and as a mercy to the Believers and He has commanded me to destroy musical instruments” (Musnad Ahmad).




DUFF

As for the duff, it is also a musical instrument and therefore it will primarily be included in the above prohibition. However, some concession was given for the use of the duff on the occasion of a Nikah. The Sahaaba (R.A.), who were the direct students of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) understood the commands of the Qur’an and Hadith far better than we can ever hope to understand. It is reported regarding Hazrath Umar (R.A.) that if he heard the sound of a duff he would immediately send somebody to investigate. If it was found to be the occasion of a Walima, he would not do anything. Otherwise he would go for his whip (i.e. he would forcefully stop the playing of the duff) (Fathul Qadeer - Vol. 6, Pg. 389).




EXTRACTING LAWS

Nevertheless, to extract the laws of Shariah directly from the Qur’an and Sunnah is possible only for one who is a mujtahid . Together with an expert in-depth knowledge of the Qur’an and hundreds of thousands of Ahadith, they had also mastered all the numerous sciences pertaining to the Qur’an and Sunnah.

According to the Zaahirur Riwayah (the most authentic narrations) of the Hanafi school of thought, the use of the duff is completely disallowed. Latter day scholars who have attributed a restricted permissibility to the Hanafi school have erred. This complete disallowal is based on the Juristic principle of “saddan lil baab” i.e. to restrict an act that would invariably lead to impermissible actions.

The Shafi’ee Ulama have permitted the use of the duff only on the occasion of a walima subject to several conditions. Allamah Ibn Hajar Makki, Shafi’ee has detailed the various conditions, among which is that the duff should not be beaten in a manner that produces a musical sound, but rather just a simple beating which does not produce any tune or melody. Only the palms may be used to beat the duff and not the fingers. It should also be beaten only for a short while. Having stated this he says that [i]“in our era it is makrooh to beat the duff” (since people cannot fulfil the stringent conditions).

Therefore in the light of the above one should not listen to such nazams which are accompanied by the playing of the duff.




BACKGROUND ZIKR As for the “background zikr,” this should be considered very carefully. What is the purpose of having people say “Allah” in unison in the background? Is it for the purpose of zikr itself? If yes, then why in the background? If the purpose is to create a background effect to make the nazam more entertaining, in the manner that background music is used, this is an extremely dangerous thing. It is abuse of the name of Allah Ta’ala. The name of Allah Ta’ala is not for the purpose of entertainment. If it has been deliberately made to resemble the beating of drums, it will be even more serious and even dangerous for one’s Imaan. One should totally refrain from listening to such nazams.
