Do you listen to music?

[Cartman]

i dont understand how this thread stays open but mine about beards is closed because people are revealing their sins?? i really dont understand some people

becaused theres no dispute about beards being required

[Khuram_2k?]

and music is required? Also the beard was started to see how many people trim their beard because as all know there are mixed views on this matter.
I wonder why mods dont reply? :confused:

[Abu Mus'ab]

becaused theres no dispute about beards being required
Nor is there any dispute about music being haraam.

There's a million and one threads about the beard, i doubt they deleted your thread only because of that.

Secondly the mods dont read every thread, if you find an inappropriate thread then report it.

[nadzz]

Salaam,

I listen to music sometimes but Inshallah i will give up.

AH

[Rosalie-Beauty]

how so?

there is so such thing as the "right" type of music. Its like saying, "I do the right kind of evil."

[sajeda]

salam alikom

i voted yes that i listen to music.

however i do NOT love music.. and if i listen too long i get sick of it...

i do like nasheeds.

[Dain Bramaged]

Yes, mainly R'N'B and Rap, old and new. :D

[Al-Nasser]

Alright then. Qisa Mukhtasir.

[Astraeus]

Being almost 42 y.o. I have listened to music all of my life. Since becoming a Muslim, and finding out that music is haraam, it has been a big change. But I have discovered the beauty of nasheeds. So, they now fill my iPod.

[Ibrahim70]

Yes.

Nasheeds and Islamic Rap.

I've read good points and bad points about Music in Islam so I don't want a lecture, just hadiths from the Prophet will do me.............

[afsalim]

to each their own...Like i said

He's an Admin of this forum, if I'm not mistaken. I also listen to music and unless it is specifically forbidden in Qur'an (just like pork and alcohol), I will not heed to any mindless babble of whats haraam and whats halaal, as it is determined by Allah SWT alone.

[Abu 'Abdullaah]

It is 'specifically forbidden' in authentic ahadeeth.

[bitter_sweet]

music BRAINWASHES you..you just have to listen to someone like 50cent and you start getting all these ideas like ooooohh i wanna do thiss like himm...blah blah. musics gay, it can even hurt your feelings cause it can meke you remember stuff.

READ ...

AL-Quran, Chapter 9 : Verse 63
------------------------------
"Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace. "

if you wish to abide in Jahannam, remaining ignorant of your sins by choice then so be it ...

READ again ...

AL-Quran, Chapter 58 : Verse 5
-------------------------------
"Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be humbled to dust, as were those before them: for We have already sent down Clear Signs. And the Unbelievers (will have) a humiliating Penalty,- "

I am a Muslim and I am commanded to remind you and myself about the Serious of the matter which you mock ...

It is Forbidden by Rasulullah :saw: and those who make Permissible what Rasulullah :saw: forbid, await Destruction for themselves ...

I've stated 'Specifically' in Qur'an. As it is clearly stated in Surah Al-Maeda (ayat 03 & 90) that Pork and Intoxicants are haraam. There aren't single instances where Music has been forbidden by Allah. Qur'an is written by the Almighty, Hadith is 'observed', 'narrated' and 'written' by men, therefore not infallible. The concept of hypocrisy does not apply in this case. Anything which contradicts or not supported by the orders of Allah SWT must be rejected.

You could come up with better names such as Bach, Schubert, Mozart, Monteverdi, Vivaldi, etc. Now these individuals were true musicians; or should I say musical geniuses?

[Abu 'Abdullaah]

Qur'an is written by the Almighty, Hadith is 'observed', 'narrated' and 'written' by men, therefore not infallible.Not this nonsense again. We have ahadeeth that have been painstakingly collected and authenticated by some of the best scholars. If you are one these people that reject ahadeeth (which you claimed you're not but, having seen some of your postings on other places around the net, I'm not so sure) then you have some serious problems with your deen.

These 'men' that you speak of, happen to be the greatest men of all time. The Illustrious Sahaba Ikram(ra), the Salafus Salih, and our Pious Predecessors. All of whom made great great sacrifices for mine and your Islam. Whom Allah(swt) has Himself given glad tidings. If you deny the teachings of our Beloved Prophet :saw: , the Sahaba Ikram, you are denying all the teachings of the Quran.

Lay off the Rashid Khalifa and non muslim rhetoric.

We learn Islam from the Scholars of Islam who understand the respective sciences of Islam.

Wake up and smell the coffee and rid yourself of the vicious, demeaning and degrading stereotypes you harbor about traditional Islam and its followers..Before it is too late.

And please don't say you follow the Quran because this is not what the Quran Shareef represents.

Don't let your aql and nafs blind you from the One Truth.

Have you actually taken the time to read my post? My point is, divine words and words of men are totally different things. Whose deen is fine is known by Allah SWT alone. Nevertheless, I'm not one of those people who calls our fellow brethren Jahil or Mushrik or Munafeqeen in a drop of a hat.

I'm beginning to wonder whether we truly are straying away from what Islam truly represents, considering the psyche of 'traditional minded' Muslims these days.

There are no doubts that Sahaba Ikram (ra) were the best the humanity had to offer. But they were not Prophets (Peace be Upon Them). Words of men tend to corrupt in time and Qur'an is eternal as it is the words of the Almighty. Now it's a time to look at our history, study it carefully and correct the discrepancies. Before akhi you or anyone else overreact with this post, think about it.

Sorry bro, any old Joe can't come up with an opinion and call it a 'difference of opinion'.

Once again, the 'men' you refer to are a walking resemblance of Quranic teachings. There are words are a reflection of their action. These are not corrupted, but rather it is the minds of men in today's time who are too afraid and too weak in desire to emulate our pious predecessors.

You say we should 'study our history'.

It is unanimous in our 'history' to accept Quran and hadith as the law of Allah.

You say in your profile that you represent the moderate path.

Bro you are treading an extreme path to yourself. Extremely left. As you are apparently very familiar with Quranic teachings, I'm sure you know what the Quran says about the 'people of left hand.'

You say the Sahaba Ikram(ra) were the best that humanity had to offer. No doubt you speak the truth.

Then tell my brother, why do you reject their ways?

I was thinking of posting a question in learn about Islam regarding music. Is all music considered haram for Muslims? Is it just music with instruments? Or certain types of instruments?

Would it depend on whether certain music which seems to glorify things like mindless promiscuity and violence?

If you read some of the pages in this thread, there are the hadith relating to music. While I am still very new to the Deen, I believe it is all instruments. Someone with greater knowledge will reply with a stronger answer.

Thanks. I did read some but it seemed mostly opinion and some very hard to read text (i'm a moron). It did'nt seem to be clear cut so I thought I needed clarification. All instruments you say? I am sure I have read somewhere else that that relates just to stringed instruments and that wind and drums, percussion are ok.

[Anikaa]

Heck no! This issue of music being haraam is very clear, yet some muslims like to make a fuss about it:rolleyes: They say, it's a "black and white" issue...well if it is, then stay away from it the beloved taught us to stay away from the doubtful matters. Kapish?

Not at all morris. Before i started practicing this beautiful religion, i used to listen to music 24/7 and this isn't any type of music, but those that contained, profanity. And yeah, also the normal type of music, but that didn't make me a better person or life any easier. But, by the will of Almighty God, i left such a destructive path and i've never being happier since:D All praise be to God. I still have music playing around me becos of family members/enviroment i'm in sometimes, but that still doesn't make me regret the choice i made, rather i had this load of my back, which i never want to have ever again! You see music is a big distraction in life, but some people don't realise it. Try and go a day without and you'll realise what i mean. And while off it, go and do something that will benefit you. Also, i should add, the Qur'aan is the kind of sound i like to hear, it is definetly a type of "music" [not literally], which eases the mind and soul:) If you want to hear a sample, don't hesistate to ask. Some people also listen to 'acapella style, which has no instruments. Here we call it, nasheed, which are islam-orientated songs and since they're acapella, they don't contains instruments. Once again, if you want a sample of that aswell, ask away.

Thanks for that. Maybe I could give it a go.:)I don't enjoy listening to what I consider base idiotic music anyway - but I will see how I get on without my faves'. It is like a crutch I suppose, I live in the country lol and its gets a little quiet.:o

I would love to hear samples of both things , thanks. 'Acapella' I enjoy, particularly monastic music - Gregorian chants and all that 'jazz' - but I have never heard Islamic acappella sounds.

I suppose music is a catch all term - poetic words spoken aloud are a kind of music are'nt they?

Yeh i guess---Ah the country...it definetly would get quite there. But try it moriss, but remember to do something worthwhile at the time. Like, ponder on the creation of God :) You live in a beautiful place, i'm sure you'd get some good views. And i'm glad you want to hear a sample of the Qur'aan and nasheed...

here are my favs.

Qur'aan: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bTTlwsgUtlk

That is surah al-fatiha [the first chapter of the Qur'aan]...it is being recited in prayer, which is something nice to watch aswell :)

Nasheed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEXIjSBZxw8 "Oh Allah" by zayd boyd is a magnificent nasheed and there are many more by him, i'm sure you'd enjoy.

[Anikaa]

This is the translation for surah al-fatiha btw:

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.
The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.
You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.
Guide us on the straight path,
the path of those who have received your grace;
not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.
Ameen.

Sorry to quote myself, but I wanted to add that in addition to nasheeds, I have the Qur'an on CD. I play it in my car and in my apartment. In addition to how great it sounds, it has been a help to me in learning to practice the correct pronunciation of the suras I am learning when I am not studying with another brother.
