One of my favorite genres of music is Progressive House. 95% of the time it contains no lyrics, sort of like the new classical music of our times at a much faster pace. For reasons I cannot explain, sometimes, I listen to this music and contemplate life, whether I am studying, relaxing at home/browsing the internet, driving, or working out at the gym. I question the choices I've made in life, those that are tied with good and bad memories, I question a lot of things, but sometimes I feel and think about Allah swt. and the purpose of this life.

It sort of gives me a weird energy boost and brings me closer to my thoughts. I feel the same when I hear a beautiful Nasheed. Maybe its the underlying beat that derives the feelings from those sounds which brings me closer to my inner most thoughts and desires. Half of the time I cant understand whats being said in Nasheeds, except those in English of course, but the sounds are so beautiful that one can learn to appreciate it regardless.

Is this wrong? Is there a place for music and spirituality in Islam aside from Nasheeds?

If I am wrong for doing this, please forgive me and guide me in the right direction.

Thank you brothers and sisters.
This topic has been discussed to death before!

So lets have it clear : Music is NOT haram... Its wrong use is forbidden. Good Music can be enjoyed anytime you want. But please , don't make it your 'life' ..like listening to music 15 hours a day etc ....

Also , try listening good music..not "I wanna r*pe you" kind of bull cr@p...

Peace.
