Imagine a scenario where
I reveal to you that there is an issue for which there is strong proof from the
Qur'aan and Authentic Sunnah, the concurred assessment of all the four
Rightly-directed Khalifas, the agreement of all the Sahaabah, the agreement of
all the Tabi'een and their supporters just as the agreement of the four Imaams,
Malik, Abu Haneefah, Shaafi'ee and Ahmad, alongside the agreement of the
extraordinary larger part of trustworthy Islamic researchers up to right now.
Would you question the legitimacy
of like issue?
Would you feel that this
issue is 'dubious' or that there is a 'distinction of assessment' on it?
I don't think so.
The matter would stand
completely clear, route over any uncertainty or vulnerability. Isn't that so?
Why is it that we treat
the issue of music along these lines?
Music, dear siblings and
sisters, IS the issue I am discussing.
There is clear,
indisputable proof from the Qur'aan and Sunnah, that singing, and paying
attention to music and instruments are HARAAM… … .straightforward.
Also, this was the
assessment of the entirety of the Four Rightly-directed Khalifas, all the
Sahaabah, all the Tabi'een and all the Four Imaams and other incredible
researchers.
There were no disarrays,
no contentions or discussions, no inquiries, no uncertainties or buts about it.
The matter was pretty much as clear as the day and nobody had any issues
tolerating that.
Then, at that point,
hundreds of years after these ages, there go along a couple, and I rehash, a
couple of the researchers, similar to al-Ghazaali (1058) and ibn Hazm (1064),
who begin questioning this issue and saying that maybe music is admissible.
What's more, we, being
the animals of want that we are, jump at this 'freedom' to get any old
variation or odd fatwa out there, just to suit our impulses and follow our
longings.
Subhaan Allaah!
Is it true that we are
actually that visually impaired?
Can we not see the
unmistakable confirmations and the reasonable, clear assessments of ALL these
Ulama?
How might we overlook
the confirmations from the Qur'aan and Sunnah, and the reasonable agreement of
the Sahaba, and the assessment of all the best Ulama of Islaam up till now? We
acknowledge the assessment of a couple of ulama who came many years after the
Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) but then oddball the agreement of the
Sahaabah that sat, strolled, talked, worked and lived with the Prophet (sal
Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam)?!
With all due regard to
al-Ghazaali and ibn Hazm, did it at any point happen to you that these Ulama
were people and were not trustworthy! That might be they could be mixed up as
they would see it?!
Furthermore, ibn Hazm held
the assessment that music was admissible on the grounds that he thought the
ahaadeeth disallowing music were frail. Furthermore, he, at the end of the day,
said that if any of these ahaadeeth were Saheeh, he would follow that.
However, we disregard the
assessment of incredible Sahabah and Scholars, for example, Abu Bakr, Umar,
Uthmaan, Ali, Ibn Mas'ood, Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbaas, Abu Hurairah, Aisha, Anas ibn
Maalik, Abdur Rahman ibnAwf, Hasn al-Basri, Qatadah, Mujaahid, Ikrimah, Imam
Malik, Abu Haneefah, Shafi'ee, Imam Ahmad, Umar ibn Abdul-Azeez, Imaam Bukhari,
Imaam Muslim, Ibn Taimiyyah, Ibn Qayyim, Ibn Baaz, Ibn Uthaymeen, Al-Albaani to
give some examples!
In the event that you,
genuinely and truly, need to follow the thing Allaah has said about the matter
and need to truly do what is satisfying to Him, you should simply to LOOK for
the confirmations and you will discover it in the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Here are
a FEW of them:
Proof of forbiddance of
music in the Qur'aan:
1)
"Also, of humanity
is he who buys inactive discussions to deceive (men) from the way of Allaah…
" [Luqmaan 31:6]
Ibn Mas'ood said about
this ayah: "I depend on Allaah, other than Whom there could be no other
god, this implies singing" – and he rehashed it multiple times.
Ibn 'Umar and Ibn
'Abbaas said: this implies singing. Mujaahid said: this implies playing the
drum (tabla)
Al-Hasan al-Basri said:
"This aayah was uncovered concerning singing and instruments.
2)
"Do you then, at
that point stand amazed at this recitation (the Qur'aan)? Furthermore, you
giggle at it and sob not, Wasting your (valuable) lifetime in side interest and
beguilements (singing)" [al-Najm 53:59-61]
Ibn 'Abbaas said that
the word utilized in this ayaah 'saamidoon', signifies "singing"
What's more, he said:
"When the kuffaar heard the Qur'aan, they would sing, then, at that point
this aayah was uncovered."
3)
"[Allaah said to
Iblees:] And befool them slowly those whom you can among them with your voice…
" [al-Israa' 17:64]
Mujaahid said: "The
voice of Iblees/Shaytaan is singing and deception."
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"Each and every individual who talks in any capacity that isn't devoted to
Allaah, every individual who blows into a woodwind or other woodwind
instrument, or who plays any haraam sort of drum, this is the voice of the
Shaytaan."
Proof of preclusion of
music in the Sunnah:
The Prophet (sal Allaahu
Alayhi wa Sallam) said the accompanying saheeh ahaadeeth:
1)
"There will be [at
some future time] individuals from my Ummah who will try to make legitimate:
sex, the wearing of silk, wine-drinking and the utilization of instruments. A
few group will remain along the edge of a mountain, and they will have herds of
sheep. At the point when a destitute individual comes in the evening to ask
them for something he needs, they will say,'Return to us tomorrow.' Then Allah
will annihilate them during the night by making the mountain fall upon them,
while He transforms others into primates and pig. They will stay in such a
state until the Day of Resurrection." (Bukhaari)
2)
"Among this ummah
will be (individuals who will be) gobbled up by the earth, changed into pigs
and monkeys, and pelted with stones from a higher place." A man among the
Muslims said, "O Messenger of Allaah, when will that be?" He said:
"When female vocalists and instruments show up, and wine is tipsy."
(Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi)
3)
"A group of my
Ummah will drink wine, calling it by other than its genuine name. Cheer will be
made for them through the playing of instruments and the singing of woman
artists. Allah will divide the earth under them and transform others into
primates and pig." (Ibn Maajah-legitimate)
4)
"Verily, Allah has
disallowed for my ummah: wine, betting, a beverage refined from corn, the drum
and the lute;(Arabian guitar)… .."(Ahmed; saheeh by Albaani)
Proof of disallowance of
music from articulations of Sahaabah, Tabi'een and Four Imaams:
1)
Abdullah container
Masood said, "Singing fledglings deception in the heart as downpour
sprouts spices and greens." (Al-Bayhaqi)
2)
Naafi' said: "Ibn
'Umar heard a woodwind instrument, and he put his fingers in his ears and
avoided that way. He said to me, O Naafi', would you be able to hear anything?
I said, No. So he removed his fingers from his ears and said: I was with the
Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and he heard something like this, and he
did likewise. (Saheeh Abi Dawood).
3) Al-Hasan said:
"If there is music associated with a supper greeting (waleemah), don't
acknowledge the greeting."
4) The Hanafis said:
"Paying attention to music is fisq (resistance, wrongdoing) and
appreciating it is kufr (skepticism)."
5) Imaam Maalik was
gotten some information about playing the drum or woodwind. He said: "The
solitary individuals who do things like that, in our view, are faasiqs
(scoundrels)."
6) Imaam al-Shaafa'i
said: "Verily, tune is odious; The person who participates in it's
anything but a bumbling blockhead whose declaration is to be dismissed."
7) Umar ibn Abdul-Azeez
kept in touch with his children's coach:
"Leave your first
exercise for them alone the disdain of instruments that come from Satan and end
with the fury of Allah; for it contacted me from reliable sources that going to
where music and its instruments are played develops deception in the heart as
water makes plants develop."
Special case for the
standard:
The lone exemption that
the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) made to music and singing, is that
he permitted ladies to sing and play the daff on Eid, weddings, and certain
events as determined by the Sunnah. Notwithstanding, this is just permitted
among ladies just where there won't be an opportunity of men paying attention
to them.
THE MUSLIM'S DUTY
REGARDING MUSIC:
Since obviously paying
attention to music and instruments just as singing are disallowed, it turns
into our commitment as a Muslim, who have faith in Allaah and His Messenger, to
dismiss all positions conflicting to this and to acknowledge what the Sharee'ah
advises us, as restricting and last.
"It's anything but
for a devotee, man or lady, when Allaah and His Messenger have announced a
matter that they ought to have any alternative in their choice. What's more,
whoever ignores Allaah and His Messenger, he has undoubtedly wandered in a
plain blunder." (Ahzaab:36)
Also, regardless of
whether somebody varied from the larger part, recollect the expressions of the
Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam). He said: "Stick to the larger
part." And whoever passes on varying from the larger part, bites the dust
as a jaahili. (Tafseer al-Qurtubi).
