I totally DIS-agree that music is haram in Islam...there is nothing in the Quran or Authentic Sunnah (Bukhari/Muslim) that outlaws it. I don't care if some shiekh said it's haram, it's simply not.

Re: Music is Haraam

Salam,

Here's my question: What is inherently harmful of playing a musical instrument or listening to one? How does that damage a person? Please don't say it's because "it distracts you from Allah", because 1. Islamic Music/Nasheeds reminds you of Allah (Blakstone/Sami Yusuf) and 2. Driving a car distracts you from Allah...if you think of Allah completely you'll crash! There is a medium between worship and dunya. You need something wholesome and creative in order to have a balance between the two. Now...

Any good responses? Allah hafiz. :shade:

So are you saying in arabic it says "music" or "singing"?
 
Re: Music is Haraam

:sl:

Why do you need a reason to act upon Allah's will? Unless I'm mistaken, none of the ahadith claim that music is harmful. Indeed, for a believer the reason doesn't matter. Allah has a divine wisdom that we cannot comprehend and as far as reasoning goes, it is because Allah (SWT) and his messenger (SAWS) said so. We hear and we obey.

Forgive me for interrupting: I'd say that quote is very ambiguous, wouldn't you?

For more discussion see the thread mentioned by Jannah earlier on.

:sl: warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

yeh sis, the use of a duff is allowed insha Allah.

`Aa'isha (R) said: "Allah's Messenger, sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam, entered (my house) when I had two little girls singing the songs of Bu`aath (pre-Islamic war lore) and beating on a duff; so he lay down on the bed and turned his face away. Then Abu Bakr came in and scolded me saying, 'The flutes of Shaytaan played in the presence of Allah's Messenger?' So Allah's Messenger (saws), turned toward him and said, 'Leave them alone, O Abu Bakr! Every people have a `Eid, and this is our `Eid.' [Saheeh al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad and ibn Maajah][/B]


but not any other musical instruments.. especially that ayah the sister showed earlier.

Subhanallah. So we are like christians then that follow blindly without understanding? I don't follow that school of thought.

Allah has a divine wisdom that we cannot comprehend and as far as reasoning goes, it is because Allah (SWT) and his messenger (SAWS) said so. We hear and we obey.

I totally agree. That doesn't mean we can't seek understanding to understand God's word. By your logic, we would never realize the magnitude of Allah's miracles...through technology we have confirmed scientific revelations in the Quran...not because we blindly said "oh that's just what God said so let's not look into it more".

Allah guide us.

Peoples...I'm still trying to get an explanation...what is INHERENTLY wrong with playing an instrument...and if there is something, why ONLY the duff? What is different between that and a tamborine? We are basing our behavior on a few hadiths which have not proven their authenticity. I'm a wrong?

Please don't tell me "cuz the hadith said so"...is the hadith the perfect word of God? No. Is there room for error on hadiths because they were recorded over 150 years after the prophet (pbuh) died? Yes. Remember only the Quran is undebatable. :)

Allah guide us.

no sis, the hadith have all been classified with their authenticity;

the sahih hadith which include bukhari, muslim, tarmidhi etc. are all classed as solid authentic hadith and you cant question them.

because the following hadith is sahih; bukhari and muslim. it is authentic without question.


`Aa'isha (R) said: "Allah's Messenger, sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam, entered (my house) when I had two little girls singing the songs of Bu`aath (pre-Islamic war lore) and beating on a duff; so he lay down on the bed and turned his face away. Then Abu Bakr came in and scolded me saying, 'The flutes of Shaytaan played in the presence of Allah's Messenger?' So Allah's Messenger (saws), turned toward him and said, 'Leave them alone, O Abu Bakr! Every people have a `Eid, and this is our `Eid.' [Saheeh al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad and ibn Maajah]


therefore, you have to believe it whether you like it or not.. this is because in the holy qur'an it says:

"What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from the people of the townships,- belongs to Allah,- to His Messenger and to kindred and orphans, the needy and the wayfarer; in order that it may not (merely) make a circuit between the wealthy among you. So take what the Messenger gives you, and refrain from what he prohibits you. And fear Allah: for Allah is strict in Punishment." (Quran 59:7)


Allah u a'lam (Allah (swt) knows best)
 
Re: Music is Haraam

salam everyone!

This remark leave of the beloved prophet..
'Leave them alone, O Abu Bakr! Every people have a `Eid, and this is our `Eid.'

is enough to explain that music is not haram within itself but the way it is used...
if it not then can anyone tell me one more EVIL or HARAM thing that prophet(pbuh) allowed on eids and marriages!!

rest there is no directive of Quran (Allah SWT's) and prophet(pbuh) that make music haram..
regarding saying to say certain type of drum or duff are allowed as by some Ulema, is a contradiction within itself..
just because at that time these were the most common music intruments used at that time in arab..
so now we are basing our religion on arab customs rather than Allah SWt commands and prophet (pbuh) sayings.
frankly duff and drum remind me of the belly dancing that ohhh so many arabs are fond of!!

i don't know why people can't see the sound reasoning and behave so illogically just because they refuse to use their brains as they have assigned SOMEONES else to do this job...
music is just another gadget and like many other things that didnt even exixt at that time .. like TV, cameras, video games, internet and even books it's THE USE not the thing itself that is haraam.
Allah SWT says ..
' everythjing in tihis universe is praising HIM.."
i hear music in the nature and think that they are praising Allah SWT.

and Allah is the one who knows the best!
may He guide us all

ameen!

Re: Music is Haraam

wa alykum asalam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.

no sis, there was quite a variety of instruments which were at the time of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his beloved family). i'll relate some hadith which show that other musical instruments, especially bells which were also used at that time are disapproved of or even haraam in islam. keep in mind that tambourines are kinda like 'duffs' but with bells so therefore they (tambourines) are not allowed.


sahih muslim. Book 024, Number 5277:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Angels do not accompany the travellers who have with them a dog and a bell.


sahih muslim. Book 024, Number 5279:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan.


sunan abu dawud. Book 34, Number 4218:

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

Ibn az-Zubayr told that a woman client of theirs took az-Zubayr's daughter to Umar ibn al-Khattab wearing bells on her legs. Umar cut them off and said that he had heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: There is a devil along with each bell.


Allah u a'lam.


wasalam o 'alykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh.
