Well basically no. Music is NOT forbidden in Islam. You like to listen to music ...go ahead listen to it..but just don't become addictive to it...Islam is a religion of moderation and encourages us to do things in a moderate way... There are scholars who say Music is not allowed...Others say it is allowed with some restrictions etc etc...So the matter is not settled even within Islam...so there is nothing wrong is listening to Music ...as long as you don't make music your "life" .... Like there are some people who close themselves in their rooms and listens to music all day and do nothing else!...Your social life should not get effected by music... And yeah , stay on deen..Pray namaz and be a nice person..its not like you are listening to music and your mom say "Hey Yusra do this" and you yell at her " MOM! KEEP QUIET..I'm listening to my fav. song" lols...There are people like that... So yeah , since the matter is "disputed" among Islamic scholars , you can choose those scholars who say Music is allowed in Islam ... Keep enjoying Music ... Here is two scholars of Islam discussing the issue ..
