I understand music is forbidden in Islam, that is Shaitan’s tool.
Are all music forbidden? If no, what are the criteria for identifying allowable music in Islam
Assalamu aleikum, brother Lukman,
I’m not a scolar of Islam to say if its forbidden or not, but I want to tell one story with my experiment – it was when I just started for islamic way of life. I loved music very much, but I knew its forbidden, I didnt listen to it during 2 weeks, after I started listening. Then I noticed that my heart didnt have that level of pureness or sincerity that I had when I didnt listen. So, I think music really doesnt have any kheir, the only argument is that anasheeds can be used for those, who need dawat (when they still listen to music , ‘coz if to choose betweeen 2 evels, its better for them to listen to anasheed than music of non-muslims)
And nothing can be compared with Allah’s words (=Qur’an), clean hearts except listening Qur’an more easily, if muslim is ill by geens he/she will prefer to spend more time for listening music – definetly.
