DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 11th day of Muharram (Tuesday 10th September, 2019). MUSIC AND DANCING VERSES ISLAM. BismilLah.
Many Muslims and non Muslims ask frequently why Muslims are discouraged to listen to music of their choice and to dance to people of their choice and some even says it's an abuse on individual freedom. Is like saying I have freedom to steal, freedom to fornicat, freedom to murder etc.
We human beings have been created for a noble purpose. ALLAH Most High says: “I have created jinn and humans only that they serve (worship) me” (Surah al-Dhariyat, 56). Music and temporary entertainments sink the human in physical pleasures and prevent him/her from true spiritual gains. In summary, music has a great role to play in preventing a human from realising the purpose of creation. One harmful nature of music is that it instills the ideologies of the Non-religious people in the heart and mind. The messages of today’s music follow a general theme of haraam form of love, fornication, drugs and freedom to commit sins. We find that the whole world is obsessed with the Kufr idea of unrestrained freedom, i.e. freedom of speech and movement, etc… This idea of freedom, “it’s my life, I’ll do what I want” is a predominant theme of music today. It is used as a means of drilling satanic ideologies into the hearts and minds, which are totally contrary to Islamic values and teachings.
As Muslims we must always ask if anything that takes our time and efforts are within the teachings of Islam or sunnah of the Prophet. Is it part of the sunnah to be listening to music or Quran? Today, our Islamic ways of Marriage is being turned into non Islāmic ways by inviting the kuffar to play these haraam music with some Muslims openly dancing and singing along with both sexes. We know intermixing is not permissible but look at what happens in our weddings today? Beginning Halaal Marriage with haraam form of entertainment and dress. Why should we then be surprised with today's rate of divorce in our communities? Let's stay away from such places where music and dancing takes place if you can't stop such things.
May ALLAH guide us from the tricks of shaitaan. Aameen.
