THREE IMPORTANT AHADITH ON MUSIC:

1) Hadhrat Naafi' (radhiyallahu anhu) narrates:
"Once when Abdullah Bin Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) heard the sound of a shepherd's flute, he placed his fingers in both ears (to block the sound of the music), and he diverted his mount from that path. (As they rode o­n), he would say: 'O Naafi', can you still hear (the sound)?' I would say: 'Yes.' He would then continue riding. Only
when I said: 'I can no longer hear it', did he remove his fingers from
his ears. Then he returned to the road. He then said: 'I saw Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) doing like this when he had heard the flute of a shepherd."
(Ahmad and Abu Dawood)

2) Ali Bin Abi Taalib (radhiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"When my Ummah indulges in fifteen misdeeds, calamities will settle on them. Among these are singing girls and musical instruments." (Tirmizi)

3) Hadhrat Ibn Mas'ud (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Verily, singing generates hypocrisy in the heart just as water causes farm-produce to grow".
(Baihqi)

According to all the great scholars, these and all the hadiths in this regard prove very clearly the prohibition of music, musical instruments, singing and dancing.

May Allah guide us and protect us from it. Ameen.

OP I listened to sheikh Imran eleha lecture and he said nothing wrong in singing for female...
Can u clarify this?

But how come they usually do praise and worship in NASFAT or are they not Muslims
Isn't that hypocrisy?
Make una dey deceive una self

As for me, spiritual praise and worship delights God and brings down His glory.

Alhamdullah.
Barika Mu Da Juma'ah.

Amin. A TRUE POST. Even Singing and listening to musical instruments are part of the torment of the Grave. May Allah Sub'anna wa ta'ala protect us from torment of the Grave.

U are right. Female can sing but it has two conditions.

1. The females must be teenagers downward and without musical instruments
2. It is supposed to be in WALIMOTUL NIKKAH.

Any person can sing at any place and at any time, the only restriction is the use of musical instruments.

May Allah forgive us sha, no one is perfect. Currently listening to "Emily Browning-Sweet Dreams"

Lol, there are some hadiths the Prophet(SA) didn't stop Aisha(RA) from singing and another hadith where He(SA) didn't stop some women from singing

Listening to music is d only sin i av nt got d control for. I av lots of tracks i myself knw that they r nt good. May Allah forgive me. Pls how can i stop listening to music?

The truth must be told even if it is bitter, Pls read and judge yourself after this... DON’T LISTEN TO MUSIC Why did you say that? Because music is HARAM!!! Did you say Haram? Is it not a Makrooh? No! Music falls under the category of haram. Ok, fine.. What’s your proof? In Surah Luqman Verse 6, Allah says: " Among men are those who purchase idle talks to mislead men from the path of Allah ". The word lahwal hadith according to Ibn Mas`ood, the four Khalifas, the eminent Sahabaah, the Tabi`een, the four Imaams and other reliable Islamic scholars and authorities have agreed that it is referred to as al-ghina or music. In Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 7, the book of drinks no 5590 reported by Abu Malik Al-Ashari that… `There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif (musical instruments ).` Seeking to make lawful means they are all unlawful. So from the verse and the hadith, the four imams unanimously agreed that music is haram. But what is Haram about Music? 1) Singing and listening to music is haram The Prophet said: Istimahul malahi maa asiyatun – to listen is a major crime Waljulusu alayha fisqun – to sit in a gathering of music is an open violation to Allah Wataladhuzu biya kufrun – to derive pleasure out of music is kafur The Prophet blocked his ears while he was walking and heard music playing. 2) Purchasing of male and female singers is haram Ayesha RA narrates that the Prophet (S) said that Almighty Allah has made unlawful the trade in singing slave maids, their training and listening to their songs. 3) Purchase of instruments for fun and amusement. Akramah RA said the Prophet (S) said that; “Almighty Allah has raised me to destroy flute and the drum.” But Music has benefits? Yes it does, just as some says that there is benefit in the drinking of alcohol so also is music. Some says music is food for the soul without which existence is impossible. Music makes them feel loved, forget about their problems, relaxes their mind, feel high etc. But have you ever thought about the negative impact of music? THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MUSIC 1. Music takes you away from the remembrance of Allah because Music and Qur’an can’t sit in the heart at the same time. 2. A waste of precious time: Research proved that an average youth spend at least five hours a day listening to music: 3. It is an audio pornography that makes you lose you moral senses – use of vulgar, shameless and violent words. 4. Music leads to zina: as it arouses the sexual desires. The Holy Prophet (S) said," Singing is a ladder to Adultery." 5. Music is a degradation to the status of women Islam: Just look at the video clips. 6. Leads to hypocrisy and deprives you from the Rahmah of Allah - Ibn Qayyin Al Jawziyya says that music in one’s heart makes one move away from Allah’s Rahmah. Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (a.s.) said: "Music is the nest of hypocrisy." 7. Takes away the imam like the fire takes away the bush in the harmattan season. 8. Music is the primary cause for calamities in the dunia: jinn attacks, earth quakes etc. Prophet said that when my Ummah will take fifteen habits, calamities will befall them and among them is music listening. Sahl Bin Saad narrates that Holy Prophet (S) said, "Submersion below the surface of the earth, raining of stones from the sky and mutilation of figures shall come about in my ummat." The companions asked, "O the Prophet of Allah when shall it happen?" The Prophet (S) there upon said:" When musical instruments shall be in abundance and there shall be a large number of singing girls and shall be unlawful." Ali RA said,"And music and songs give rise to hypocrisy and is one of the ways leading towards poverty and hunger. 9. It creates a temporal illusion of madness and sometimes permanent madness because of the tension in the brain. It is an intoxicant and one is unaware of his immediate environment. 10. It create nervous breakdown and even stomach ulcers discovered in France in 1957 11. It has led to lots of violence and deaths: The daily ‘Kayhan’ (Tehran), No 6626, published a news of the Reuter Agency: About 50,000 youths had gathered in Melbourne (Australia) for a musical concert. The concert overwhelmed them so much that they started assaulting each other with fists and knives. Many were seriously injured; some girls were molested. 12. Leads to Deafness: Experts says that prolonged exposure to a noise level above 85 decibels will eventually result in a reduction of hearing acuity in the frequency range most important for understanding the human speech. Dr. Charles Lebo, of the Pacific Medical Centre took measuring instruments into two San Francis co dance halls where the cacophony from amplified instruments caused sound intensity from 100 to 119 decibels in the low frequency range. 13. Will be deprived of listening to the beautiful voice of Allah - Prophet (S) said," Molten lead will be put in the ears of that person who listens attentively to music and songs”. 14. Music has no barakah and it will never increase your Islamic knowledge… all the songs in the world couldn’t be compared to Alif, Laam, Meem in barakah would not be equivalent to them. CONCLUSION I conclude by reminding you about our main purpose on this Earth...Allah created us only to worship Him alone and to worship Allah is to obey Him and abstain from what He forbids.. We all know music is difficult to leave but we just have to make the sacrifice in order to please our Creator and Allah says: perhaps you may like something but in reality it is bad for you.. verily the ear, and the eye and the heart, all of them will be asked. The ear and what it listened to, the eye and what it looked at and the heart and what it intended." So If you claimed to be a muslim, then u need to obey Allah by stop listening to music, it might be hard at first but with time you will get over it..just pls be sinere with your repentance make a convent with Allah not to do it again. How bad would have been our position if we die with this habit. Prophet says Allah will call those who forgo music for His sake and give them Hur’ains to entertain them. Respected brothers let's use this medium to end the fitnah of music in our lives, let's Repent before Allah and ask His forgiveness. May He forgive us, have mercy on us and accept our repentance..Ameen Free feel to share this piece..jazaakallahu kahyran Shared from the post of Naceef Abass

Surah Ghafir, Verse 55:
Then have patience (O Muhammad). Lo! the promise of Allah is true. And ask forgiveness of thy sin, and hymn the praise of thy Lord at fall of night and in the early hours

The hadiths mentioned by the op all refer to music (or songs accompanied by sound instruments). But songs only(without the use of sound instruments is permissible).

All these hadiths eh??

May Allah guide us.

You are a Muslim right?
I am and I love soul music,country music and good music whatsoever.
I derive comfort from it,joy from it....I can't even imagine my life with it after so much bad I have been treated by society.

The hadith writers I think are humans scholars and poets with opinions like the writers of nowadays.I do write poetry too and that doesn't make it right.so Quran I think is enough.MAY GOD FORGIVE ME!

Don't quote the scholar out of context, women can sing for their husband, they can sing among themselves like spinster's night etc without addition of musical instruments but they can't sing for those that are not their mahram & the use of musical instruments is forbidden.
You can check the tafsir of suratul luqman verse 6 regarding the use of musical instruments.

Abstinence is the key, the same way you avoid unlawful sexual interaction. The first step is top DELETE all songs on your phone, laptop, hard drive and go on a music drought and try not to pay too much attention to the ones played both on TV and Radio, and finally seek for Allah's forgiveness and guidance. May Allah guide Us all. Ameen.
