Music in worship

[GreyKode]

You seem to suggest that those ugly stories about great prophets in the Bible were intentionally inserted by Jews and Christians. I do not agree with that. Although Jews and Christians have very different perspectives, we Christians appreciate greatly the great effort of Jewish people to preserve God’s words. We Christians do not claim that the Old Testament was corrupted, in order to justify our belief against Judaism. We do not accuse Jews of the corruption of the Old Testament in order to start a new religion. Jewish people did their best to preserve the Bible, which is greatly appreciated by all human beings including Christians.

Oh the OT that was destroyed several times when the jews were taken into slavery and finally claimed to written all over again by ezra.

Ok, so now youre an expert claiming that ijma'a qiyas are not authorities, I really have no idea why argue about the authorities in Islam, why don't you tell us what are the authorities in christianity?

Returning to the point of music, although it reamins a grey area to me. Beyond ijmaa and qiyas there are several ahadith that clearly define a ruling regarding music.

Reply to the OP:

Because our leader - Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) was able to worship..and get all the help from ALLAH without the requirement of a catalyst = Music.


I feel ...the more your worship is calm/steady/simple.... it will increase ur concentration in worship...

But ...when u add Music or dance.....high possibility that it would - distract the worship...of yours as well as who is standing near by (thats when u dance)

Can you post a video of say whirling dervishes or sufi's in worship please? You can cherry pick as is your usual mode of working

Cherry pick what you twit? You desiring dervishes to be considered as Muslim doesn't make it so, anymore than us desiring Unitarians to be christians makes them so..

you need to pursue a solid education in the topics you wish to gauge before you are allowed to post!

all the best

I strongly believe that all the participants of this thread are tired now and they are waiting for us to take necessary action.

Before I close this thread just a few things:

-So many a time we have mentioned that none of us, including staff members, is authority on Islam.
-The purpose of this forum is to form an online healthy Islamic society that may help new comers/interested Nonmuslims to learn BASICS of Islam.
-Our Nonmuslim members are, we think, beauty of this community as long as they are trying to learn and abide by the rules.
-As this is an Islamic Forum and therefore it is governed by the Islamic Rules and we expect ALL members to respect the rules.
-Islam Teaches us ALL the Prophets are innocent and pure from ANY sin a human can commit.
-We don't discourage debates as long as they are for learning purpose.

And with this
