I have Zain Bhika collections which i listen to.

tbaba1234:

Baby steps, I have given up music and have no urge to return, But you have to start gradually,

Move to nasheeds with music, then those without music; Remember that the speech of Allah is still the best, If you like a reciter's voice, Download his recitation,

Make dua and with time, you will look forward to listening to Quranic recitation.

Permissibility of music


The question of permissibility of music in Islamic jurisprudence is historically disputed.

Some jurists of the classical era of Muslim scholarship opined that music is forbidden both by the Qur'an and by the Hadith. The chapters of Luqman and Al-Isra in the Quran in particular are used to support this view.[1] Those who do not allow music also believe that Muhammad censured the use of musical instruments when he said: "There will be among my Ummah people who will regard as permissible adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments".[2] Islamic scholars of the past who agreed upon this include Abu Hanifa, Al-Shafi'i, Malik, Ahmad bin Hanbal, Al-Tabari, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Al-Bukhari, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nawawi Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Tahawi, and Al-Qurtubi.[citation needed]

Others, however, permit music stating that the prohibition of music and instruments at the time of the Prophet related to usage—at the time the polytheists used music and musical instruments as part of their worships. Those who saw the permissibility of music include Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi, Ibn Sina, Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, Rumi, Ibn Rushd, and Ibn Hazm. Al-Ghazali also reports a narration from al-Khidr, where he expressed a favorable opinion of music, provided it be within the usage limitation of virtuous areas.[citation needed]

Many modern Muslim interpretations allow music and singing under certain conditions, mainly if they do not encourage committing sinful acts

While the precise lineage of the instrument is still unclear, historians believe that the guitar is the descendant of several ancient instruments. These ancient instruments from which the guitar has evolved include the Greek kithara, gittern, lyre, European and Middle Eastern lutes, and the Spanish vihuela. The guitar is first mentioned in literature in the 13th century. The poem El Libro de Buen Amor by Juan Ruiz describes two early instruments, guitarra morisca and guitarra latina.

Allí sale gritando la guitarra morisca,
de las bozes aguda e de los puntos arisca.
El corpudo laúd que tiene punto a la trisca,
la guitarra latina con ésos se aprisca.

“Then came out, with a strident sound, the two-stringed Moor’s guitar,
High-pitched as to its range, as to its tone both harsh and bold;
Big-bellied lute which marks the time for merry, rustic dance,
And Spanish guitar which with the rest was herded in the fold.”[1]



What still remains unclear is whether the guitar is indigenous to Europe or rather it was brought to Europe by Arabs

tpia@:
what type of music is haram. i'm not aware of any islamic country where there's no music at all. so, the scholars in such places are aware there's music there i'm sure. op are you referring to western music, nigerian music, all music or just non-islamic music. or you mean hiphop.

tpia@:

^They were the muslim moors who invaded and conquered europe.

As to their level of religion, well i think the fact that they brought islam to europe, speaks for itself, so i dont think one should assume they werent devoted enough just because they introduced a musical style which took root and grew.

Even hiphop is said to have some origins in arab street dancing.

Here some proof from hadith that music is halal

Aisha says  the Habasha (Abyssinians ) were performing in THE MOSQUE on the day of eid I looked over the Prophet's

shoulders and he lowered them little so I could see them until I was satisfied and left this hadith was related by Ahmed

Albukhari and Muslim

another hadith narrated by Aisha " That once Abu bakr came to her on the day of eid while The Prophet with her and there

were two girls singers with her singing Abu bakr says twice "Musical instruments of Satan " but The Prophet said leave

them Abu bakr every nation has an eid (festival) and this day is our eid  related by Albukhari

Araboy:

Another rant from another fanatic

If the above hadith from Sahih Al Abukhari doesn't prove the permissibility of music for you what else you want ?

If the Prophet allowed Aisha to listen and watch a group of African men singing and dancing is not enough to convince you ?

you suggested the four Madhabs of the sunni school agreed that music is harm yet you still didn't bring any proof from other

schools except the Hanbali one which is exclusively followed in Saudi Arabia

Ibn teymiyyah views are at the origin of the terrorism in the Muslim word and his famous Fatwa Mardini has encouraged

muslims terrorists to kill innocent people even in their place of worship

I have no respect for Ibn teymiyyah or the wahhabi doctrine these people are nothing but bigot extremist terrorist

No one in Africa follows their Hanbali Madhab or care about their views except boko haram murderers and few hardcore

African salafis

Imaam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) [/b]was asked about playing the drum or flute, if a person happens to hear the sound and enjoy it whilst he is walking or sitting. He said: He should get up if he finds that he enjoys it, unless he is sitting down for a need or is unable to get up. If he is on the road, he should either go back or move on. (al-Jaami’ by al-Qayrawaani, 262). He (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The only people who do things like that, in our view, are faasiqs.” (Tafseer al-Qurtubi, 14/55).
