Aslamo Alikum,

Dear All,

I found the beautiful wordings of one of our Prophet (sws) companions that explains everything about music.

Ibn Masud (RA), a companion of the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam) said,

"The love of the Quran and the love of music cannot combine in the heart of a believer."


Music is Harram in Islam (READ DESCRIPTION)

Evidence of prohibition of Music in the Qur'aan and Sunnah:

Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):

"And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah..." [Luqmaan 31:6]

The scholar of the ummah, Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: this means singing. Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafseer al-Tabari, 21/40).

Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this aayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/451).


`There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif ( musical instruments ).` (Bukhari)
