| Muslims are aware that nothing has been prohibited by Allah except that which is harmful to the welfare of a Muslim individual and the society as a whole. The divine attribute behind the prohibition of music can be comprehended by looking into the diverse influence music can have. Experiments carried out by doctors and professors have confirmed that the music of today is such that it does not only affect the brain, but each and every organ of one`s body. There is a close relationship between music and bodily movements. We find that people listening to music automatically start tapping their fingers and feet, as if the music is permeating in their blood. It is also proved that music affect`s one`s emotions, increases arousal in terms of alertness and excitement and also leads to various physiological changes in the person. In a psychology experiment, it was found that listening to moderate type of music increased one`s normal heart beat, whilst listening to rock music the heart beat increased even further, yet people claim that music has no effect. It is a very ignorant and misguided attitude to percieve music as a form of pleasure and passing of time, since the messages of today`s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom. We find that the whole world is obsessed with the kufr idea of freedom, i.e. freedom of speech, freedom of movement, etc. In western schools and universities, we observe independence, free expression and secular thinking being encouraged. This idea of freedom, “ It`s my life, I`ll do what I want” is a predominant, underlying theme of today`s music. It is being used as a means for drilling western ideologies, which are totally contrary to Islamic Shariah and values, into the minds of Muslims. One should abstain from evil audacities such as listening to music and encourage others to do the same too. MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GUIDE US ALL TO THE STRAIGHT PATH- AMEEN. |

| AA I think these kinds of articles, though the intention may be good, are not very beneficial. I don't think anyone ever died from exposure to music. I actually used to listen to music a lot, and stayed healthy. After I stopped listening, I started getting a little less healthy in fact - just a coincidence, I am sure. The only way to get people to stop listening to music is thru their Iman. |

| [slm] Everyone See. Leaving music is not a big task. It's basically the Shaitan which comes in our minds and makes us do the thing again. So a Muslim should have strong control on his Nafs. I have myself experienced this thing and I have left listening and watching Hollywood movies, Music and Songs. Just Pray 2 Allah for showing us the straight path, which leads Paradise. |
