well, for those who say that music haram, i still wonder how brothers sami yusuf and yusuf islam play music. i know that most of yusuf islam's songs are without music but we can find him sometimes using guitare or sth alike. if it was haram, he would not do it, he is a good Muslim. here is a link in which he sings in a concert using guitare and have duo with paul Macartney. i think being open-minded is the best way to make others who are very corrupt embrace islam. here is the link: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/inhalt/10/0,4070,2304234-5,00.html. just have a look at it, nothing bad will happen to you.
thanks.
So Sami Yusuf and Yusuf Islam, that ignore where it says in teh Qur'an the music is Haraam, are gud muslims? Don't make me laff.
