FIRST REMINDER. 26th day of Dhul-Hijjah. Is Singing and Music Haraam? If so Why?. Lets learn and share to others. BismilLah. The worst case scenario in the event of being inflicted with a disease is when the one involved refuses to believe that he or she has been inflicted with that disease. The way this phenomenon is accepted and recognised in diseases and illnesses that affect the physical body, it is also true with regards to spiritual diseases and ailments. When a person commits a sin (may Allah save us all) accepting that a sin is being committed and feels regret and remorse in the heart, then this is far better than committing the sin and believing it to be lawful (halal). In the first scenario, only one sin is being committed, and it is very likely that the individual may repent out of the remorse felt in the heart. In the second case, however, in addition to the sin being committed, there is the greater sin of trying to justify it. Normally, such an individual does not receive the guidance to repent from his sin. (May Allah save us all, Ameen). The case with music and unlawful singing is the same. It has been decisively prohibited in Shariah, as the evidences mentioned further along will show. Yet there are individuals that are not ready to believe that it is Haram. In the modern era, music has spread to such an extent that nobody is free from it. Individuals are confronted with situations where they are forced to listen to music. It is played nearly in all department stores and supermarkets. If you sit in a taxi, make a phone call or even walk down the street, you will not be saved from this evil. Young Muslims drive around in their cars with the music fully blasting AstaghfirulLah. The increasing popularity of music, which is prevalent in our society, poses a great threat to Muslims. Music is a direct ploy of the Non-Muslims. One of the main causes for the decline of the Muslims is their involvement in useless entertainment. Today we see that Muslims are involved, and at the forefront perhaps, of many immoralities and evils. The spiritual power which once was the trait of a Muslim is nowhere to be seen. One of the main reasons for this is music and useless entertainment. To be continued in Shaa Allah but before we do, just ask yourself if you love listening to Qur'an and Islamic lectures than music or not then decide for yourself and help your soul. May the keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
