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

so you are saying even islamic song is haram? But why are they singing it , maybe sharia is not doing her work. Well confusion in islam.

funny enough i just replaced the songs on my phone with 20 preachings of islam 3 days before stumbling on this thread. shall listen to them and replace them with another again when I'm through.
each of those cost me 15 naira after bargain. So it's alot cheaper and rewarding; win win situation
i hope to also share with friends n incur Allah's blessings.

and to the OP, Jazakalahu khairan
