Muslim people are very well aware of the fact that Allah is the creator of the entire universe, and Allah has prohibited only those things that are harmful and not in the welfare of the Muslim people and Islam. As we also know, Islam is the complete code of life in this world, and our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is the sparkling example for all of us as to how Muslims should spend their lives. Nowadays there is an interesting issue becoming part of the people’s discussion. The media is paying much attention to whether or not music and singing is prohibited in Islam. It is a common observation that most people are singing Naat-e-Rasool-e-Maqbool (PBUH) and Hamd-e-baritallah with rock music in the background. There is a conflict between the Muslim scholars regarding this topic, but let’s see what the Quran and Hadees say about music and singing. In the Quran, Surah Al Isra, verse number 64, Allah has clearly told Muslims that songs and music except Azaan are the call from Satan (the devil), and that he is trying to diverge the attention of Muslims from the right track and allure them to earn wealth from unlawful ways and many other wrong deeds and sins.
In Surah Luqman verse number six, Allah Almighty has again told about Satan, that he will mislead people from path of Allah by disparagement and for those people there will be terrible suffering in hell. Besides this, Abu Malik Al-Ash’ari has narrated the hearing from the prophet (PBUH) that in the future some followers of Islam will mull over in drinking alcohol, unlawful intercourse, wear silk dress and use musical instruments. They will not pay the salary to the poor people or their servants on time, and Allah will destroy them and change them into monkeys and pigs, and they will remain in that position until the day of judgment. These quotings from the Holy Quran and Hadees have made clear that music is forbidden in Islam.
Most people consider music as good for the soul, but it is a wrong concept. Music cannot provide relaxation and relief to any person; however, it can increase the level of stress. The listening of music is not allowed in the Islam religion. Although, some Muslim scholars are not agreeing with this point, and they don’t consider music prohibited. According to the Quran and Hadees, music is call a from devil and is not allowed. However, most Muslims are very interested in music and songs due to media performance. Music is not welfare for any person in the world; therefore, we should not waste our time in listening to music.
