*Deleting all my music*

grownaira:



Can u provide evidence that backs up the bolded?

This is the verse.

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. (Quran 40:55)

Surah Ghafir, Verse 55:

Good one bro. Sorry I misinterpreted hymn (praise poem) as music.

amiskurie:

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!

Writing poetry, poems is not prohibited, The book given to David(As) which is Psalm is like a poem.

Yes I got it bro. The verse can also be translated as

"So be patient, [O Muhammad]. Indeed,
the promise of Allah is truth. And ask
forgiveness for your sin and exalt
[ Allah ] with praise of your Lord in the
evening and the morning."

The point here is that this verse never permits music.

Bro, dia is nothing like hadith writers, but rather hadith compilers. They don't just sit down, get a pen and paper and write what they think is right or wrong. They compile the wording and actions of the prophet and pass it to generations to come

ksbusari:
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?

Pray that Allah make it easy and gradually try to replace the music by listening to the Quran more often.

Religion indeed is the opium of the masses. While great minds are busy trying to solve myriads of human problems; technology, reduction of hunger, innovation in different areas, the mind of the poor and the masses are ever preoccupied with such trivialities. No wonder blacks and Africans are the way they are. SMH

This should settle the OP http://www.islamawareness.net/Music/prohibited.html

Bro, the author of the article in this link is funny. His/her main point is I quote "..But the point I am trying to make is, if Allah Almighty allowed music and songs to be played to people before us, then what gives us the right to prohibit music now?"

Only this point is enough to showcase his/her ignorance. Many things wia lawful to the people before us, and wia made unlawful to us. So also many things wia unlawful to the people before us and wia made lawful to us.

Qtsnow:
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

You will keep shaking your head like a lizard, and at the end of the day you find out that you are befooling yourself.

I participated in this religious deliberation because I love my religion, I love my creator, and will always worship my creator as stipulated by the messages brought to us by His prophets.

Talk about technology, I have an Msc in Industrial Physics. My research work was to use locally available materials to develop a cheaper and more efficient conductor material that can replace silicon in low voltage electrical systems, and a success it was. But will the government we have fund the further development and advancement of such research works? Time will tell.

Talk about reduction of hunger. I am just 27yr old, and I own a group of small businesses (a farm inclusive) that as at today employs 23 youths, earning an average salary of 17.5k monthly.

I am speaking for myself, and dia4 won't refer you to other notable scientists who are religious in dia own right.

So don't just wake up in the morning and be talking trash thinking you are making sense.

Thanks and remain blessed.

All these hadiths eh??

May Allah guide us.

Allah has guided us with hadiths..

During the time of the prophet, ladies are allowed to sing for the bride on her wedding day and the song as at then was a modest one and not the type you see nowadays. its Haram to sing with the quran, which they do now and during the time of the prophet, nothing of such. Thats what the sheikh was referring to

it's clearly stated in suratul as-shuara from vers 200 downward where Allaah rain curse on singers.He (Allah) described the singers as liars who make mention of what they cannot do.e.g give me ur hand i'll give u my world,anytime i luk into ur eyes i c fire,i'll tak u round d world...only d prematur fmale (jariyha tehni) is allowed 2 sing because dey r nt mature yet witot clapin/musical instrumnt

That's why I don't hold on to some hadiths.

I thought the Quran talk about singing hymns for Allah.

dat means watchin news is a sin,watchin movies...walkin down d road and dey re playin songs.....what about wen prophet mohammad was enterin medinah and d ppl brought out dier drums and were singing tala 'albadru' aleyna

Layi9:

dat means watchin news is a sin,watchin movies...walkin down d road and dey re playin songs.....what about wen prophet mohammad was enterin medinah and d ppl brought out dier drums and were singing tala 'albadru' aleyna

That was before he (the prophet) banned it, same way people wia consuming alcoholic substances and even going to the masjid to pray while still drunk.

And as for u watching news or walking down the road, in Islam dia is what is called darurah. You won't be held responsible for what you have "absolute" no control over.

Layi9:

Imam Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee
[d. 1420] said, “...but it is Mu’dal , Faulty; three or
more reporters are missing in the chain of
report...” [ Silsilat ad-Da’eefah 2/63]. See also,
TahreemAalaat at-Tarb (pg. 123).

Dr. AkramDiyaa al-‘Umaree said, “As for those
reports which show that he was welcomed with
the song: Tala’a al-badru ‘alayna; min Thaniyyatil-
Wadaa’ , no authentic chain has transmitted
that.” [ As-Seerat an-Nabawiyyah as-Saheehah
1/219].


Dr. Anees bin Ahmad al-Indoneesee after a
detailed study of the chains of report that
transmitted the rhyme in a separate research
work concluded that, “It becomes clear from a
detailed analysis of the chains of report that
transmit the rhyme that it is not authentic
because its chain is unreliable and the text is
irregular.” [ Tala’a al-badru ‘alayna:
DiraasatunHadeethiyatun li al-Khabar wan-Nasheed
pg. 43].

Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdullah al-‘Ushan
included this rhyme in his book:
Maashaa’awalamyathbut fee as-Seerat an-
Nabawiyyah (Popular But Unreliable Reports Cited
in the Prophet’s Biography ) pg. 87-90.

As regards its text, Shaykh Muhammad bin
Muhammad Hasan is among the researching
scholars who analyzed the text of the rhyme and
concluded that, “the rhyme is flimsy and fragile, it
does not befit the style of speech of the period to
which it is ascribed; it is perhaps, among the
poems of the third century after Hijrah.” He also
queried, “How could the people of Madeenah have
said: ...sharrafta al-Madinah [meaning – you came
to honour Madinah ] while Madinah was only so
named after Allah’s Messenger
(sallallaahualayhiwasallam) arrived there?! It
name which they knew amongst them then was
Yathrib!” [ Tala’a al-badru ‘alayna:
DiraasatunHadeethiyatun li al-Khabar wan-Nasheed
pg. 12-13].

Thanks for the hadith may Allah reward you and forgive us all.

Yes, they aren't Allah's word. They are the words or actions of His prophet and messenger, and Allah Allah Said in Surah Al Hashr verse 7 what can be translated as:

you, and deny yourselves that which he
withholds from you. And fear Allah; for
Allah is strict in Punishment"

Can u clarify this?

GOOD! Hope he explain further that the female will only sing among her co-female and must not use her voice to call the attention of the men? ..... and further that its not all this hip-hop and hip-down rubbish? moreso, a female muslim is not even suppose to be noisy!
