- Assalmau alaykum. First of all, i apologize for not uploading for so long, I've been kinda unproductive lately but now I'm back to normal Inshallah.
Anyways, in this video, i go over the points for and against music being haram. I try to be as objective as possible but I wont deny that unfortunately some of my sources may have been biased. Regardless, i may have made many mistakes in this video, so please let me know in the comments if you notice any.
The points I go over in this video are:
Why exactly do people say music is halal?,
The hadith about music being haram (Bukhari 5590),
The tafsirs that interpret verse 6 of Surah Luqman as referring to music
(Abdullah Ibn Masoud and Abdullah Ibn Abbas),
The authenticity of the chains,
Exceptions (The duff/daff and tambourine, only on Eid, and only women can play it),
Nasheeds, etc

you are 16 years old? Brother you are more inellectually mature than some 25+years old people 🤣 Keep up the good work brother! Mashallah
so what is the islamic punishment for a muslim playing music? will non muslims be allowed to play music under the caliphate?
@@user-on8jx3qr8wit’s not that a government should need to enforce that, it’s a muslims own relationship with God
Sharia law doesn’t always apply to non muslims in these Islamic states if it isn’t something that affects everyone
For example: non Muslims didn’t have to pay Zakat under the caliphate
I’m not a scholar by any means in case I got that incorrect so if you are genuinely curious about that question then there are resources you can look at
@@jk-gb4et "it’s not that a government should need to enforce that, it’s a muslims own relationship with God" ok. but can they if they choose? have you seen videos of sharia being enforced in the province of aceh in indonesia? are you familar with any of the cases of blasphemy brought in indonesia in say the last 5 years?
"Sharia law doesn’t always apply to non muslims in these Islamic states if it isn’t something that affects everyone" so would me sitting outside say a bus stop playing music 'affect' everyone?
yes, i realize you are not a scholar. thank you for your answers nonetheless. not sure what you would define as 'genuiely curious'? i'm a kaffir and plan on staying that way. ;)
but i do find religions/mythologies fascinating. what scholars do you recommend? i read islamqa [al munajjid] quite a bit. or are you more old school like ibn taimayya? ever read: 'the book of jihad' by ibn nuhaas? or 'the incoherence of philosophers' by al ghazali?
have you ever read any jospeh campbell? his most popular book is: 'the power of myth'.
@@user-on8jx3qr8w I didn't mean curious as in you want to convert I meant curious as in being open minded about it and not one of the people who only want to attack us.
Thanks for your answer though. I wasn't saying that its all sunshine and rainbows in the practical application of the law. I mean to say the intention and the ideal use of it is like that. For example, dealing with interest is forbidden in Islam (although it's impossible to avoid in the modern world, so we try our best), and so (I think, don't quote me:) it would have been illegal for all non-muslims as well in islamic societies (because it is something that affects everyone; as in, it could be used to take advantage or extort someone)
Regarding the scholars, I'm not well read about al-munajjid. I do know that he is particularly controversial and harsh in his rulings, which could have been a reason for you picking him. You probably mentioned Ibn tamiyyah for a similar reason, through his most well known fatwas that were issued during a time of war against Mongols, twisted into a modern narrative by groups like Daesh that justifies killing innocent Muslims and the killing of other innocents.
@@jk-gb4et "I didn't mean curious as in you want to convert I meant curious as in being open minded about it and not one of the people who only want to attack us." can't i be both ;)? is it allowed for the kaffir to criticize islam? does islam not 'attack' us? calls us lower than cattle? people of low intelligence?
ok, so no interest for us and the jews. the jews are going to be quite upset. jk. i will be. i'm a saver. not sure if you have to be in america, but there are banks giving 5.25% interest through a website called rainsin. on savings accounts, but i got 5.70% on a 6 month CD [certificate of deposit]. not to be a shaytan whispering the waswas at ya. ;)
as for islamqa, i think the saudis kicked him out for not liking the royal family. pretty sure the salafi love him. same with ibn taimayya. are you against the visiting of graves?
good to see you remeber the Islamic State. seems most muslims have already forgotten. do you think the yazidi are devil worshipers for their 'fallen peacock angel'?
anyway, you sound better read than most muslims on yt. can i shotgun ya with a list? what do you think of [sorry if i mispell any of these, or get the names revesed]:
1. muhammad hijab
2. ali dawah
3. daneil haqiqatou
4. sahjjid lipham
5. yasir qahdi
6. alley shabir
7. zaik nadir
8. assim al kareem
9. nouman ali khan
10. dawah wise guys
11. ef dawah guys
12. omar sulieman
13. iman tom
14. the muslim mum
15. the blonde muslim
16. jake, the metaphysical muslim
maybe that is enough. lol.
kind of kidding. thanks for your time. i know muslims find this kaffir annoying, so thanks for your time. your adab is excellent. i don't think i have any cred with allah, but i hope you have a good life in this dunya. peace.

People tend to forget

For those who say "I pray all night and do umrah alot and listen to music cuz i have alot of good deeds" , Remember who your disobeying not how small your sin is.
David composed music. The Quran doesn’t state anything negative about music. If it’s not in the Quran and is also debated then why even think about it?
There’s more pressing matters to worry about and more concrete rules to maintain.
If your listening to music that promotes haram things then of course this is wrong. But it’s clearly not a black and white area to just flat out say every form of music is haram when one of gods prophets composed music in the name of god.
@@Ghjkl-eb2svmy man the shrot answer is no
Music is not haram and this is an issue of dispute between scholars
The forbidden things ar stated clearly in the quran
@@Ghjkl-eb2sv my brother there is a reason why this exact 9 minute video under which you commented exists
@@GamingSkillz04 yes and his answer is just listen to the scholars?
and the answer was that music is haram according to Quran and Hadith. If he said listen to scholars he would've jumped ship and said Halal because there have been 2 scholars which he mentioned which have said it's fine.@@Ghjkl-eb2sv
MashaAllah akhi, for a 16 year old you hold yourself extremely well. May Allah increase you in knowledge.
I was born Muslim, but it is a privilege for me to learn Islam rather than eat information from my family. Nice video. Easy subscribe. Keep it up brother.
I really don't mean to sound ''racist'' or whatever, but I really want to say this. I LOVE seeing my ''white'' Muslim brothers and reverts. Something about you guys increases our Imaan. Carry on the good work, brother. Love you for the sake of Allah!
The way I see it, many white non-Muslims who wants to be Muslims but hesitant to revert to Islam thinking they are white hence they couldn't be Muslims or it isn't right somehow. But when they see people like brother Jan and other white reverts they realize and say "wait, if he became Muslim so why shouldn't we!?".
Many white Muslims don't realize the the positive impact they have on others. May Allah reward them.
That's is not racist , you feel that way because the percentage of western society ,who are mostly white , converting to islam is small . And with all of the propaganda they get about islam and arab people . The fact that they still manage to find their way towards islam is beautiful. And it shall make your iman stronger . because , regardless of your ethnicity or race you can still find the truth.
I think you do it this way because the west is corrupted as hell and most.of it are white people, but it's not a good thing that you make a difference between any muslim of color, only the deeds that we can see, like if someone is a singer, and another is not, you'd like the second one of course.
I don't wanna sound racist, but
Why is that statement always followed by something racist xD
I know what you mean. I know and most importantly God knows I have absolutely nothing against my white Muslim brothers. In fact, I feel like I love them more because they raise our Imaan.@@mahino420
Stopping or reducing music consumption as part of a "dopamine detox" involves limiting activities that regularly release dopamine to allow your brain's reward system to reset. Music, particularly when it's enjoyed, can trigger the release of dopamine. A dopamine detox, in this context, is often about reducing stimuli that constantly activate your brain's reward pathways.
By taking a break from music, you give your brain a chance to recalibrate its response to stimuli, potentially making it more sensitive to everyday experiences. This detox can help you appreciate simpler pleasures and reduce dependency on external stimuli for satisfaction. It's a method aimed at breaking the cycle of seeking constant dopamine hits from various sources, encouraging a more balanced and mindful approach to pleasure and reward.
For real. Quitting music is probably one of the most important things that should be done on a dopamine detox
@@JanRyczkowski Be 100% devoted to Allah. Do not let anything control our emotions.
@@SpaceRebel Maybe this is why we can't fully enjoy the Quran recitation.
I read the whole comment above & yet this still doesn't justify that a God would actually & completely forbid such things as almost harmless as Music whilst at the same time, Allows the marrying of female slaves, first cousins & children. The point of the said comment above is simply by limiting yourself to it, just like other things. Music is not necessarily bad & it could be i agree since "too much" is always bad no matter what the referred thing is, but by completely forbidding it & punish those who refuse to prevent it with jail, death & torture like how the Taliban enforces it to their own Afghan Citizens? It's simply irrational & cannot be a part of someone's Humanity.
@@SpaceRebel Your statement here is accurate of which i do agree but is mostly limited & biased just so that it could support your belief. Because if that were the case, why no psychologist would go as far as to completely forbid Music just as how your religion enforces it? Infact Psychology has also proven that certain music can also help an individual to recover from certain types of traumas & remember certain types of memories & this includes those of you've always cherish. (Nostalgia) Not all music can cause Depression or Anxiety as there are music that causes the opposite of it. The next time you'll drop a statement that's involved on Psychology, i advise not to be biased & pull the full picture of it.
I'm trying to convert but it's really hard, every time I learn something new it ends up being a big part of my life. I use to eat pork every morning and listen to music all day but I'm cuting down on both now.😊
Mashallah may Allah make it easy for you. Remember that there are alternatives. For breakfast, eggs are great. If you absoloutely need meat though, turkey bacon and sausages are great, and u can get them at many muslim shops
It is hard but it will clean you, just like a bitter medicine
If you want to make it easier have a pious friends, just like this brother
Music is a lot easier to leave than you think. Once I left it, I never went back. The Quran and Music can never live in the heart with each other, one has to go. Nasheeds are good too listen to Abu Ali
Watch Bobby's Perspective latest video about the harm of eating pork, it'll encourage you to stop eating it
I'm agnostic and stopped eating pork and listen to music because that things clearly compromise mental and physical health.
Orthodox religions have a lot of empirical facts behind their rules
Thank you very much, Jan, as a 16 year old who has left music many times and somewhat returned to thinking it might be okay, I appreciate your reminder. May we both keep each other in our duas. (AMAZING understanding of Arabic terms, btw)
Yes sometimes it can be really hard because everybody taught us that “music touches your soul” but i didn’t realize this for a long time and it’s hard to avoid it now. But over time, I believe we all can left music. Keep trying!
@@patatesdomates574 That's a part of the issue, it shouldn't be touching our souls
@@patatesdomates574 it does touch our soul in a negative way. Your mind stays occupied with music.
7:35 man you can't imagine how much respect I and many other muslims have for you. to see someone leave something they're good at or love for the sake of Allah is inspiring and heartwarming. may Allah reward you. الله يحفظك ويجزاك خير
Its not very wise to leave music as God never said to leave it or even it is prohibited.
I have no respect for anyone who makes up a law himself.

[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete,* in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
*6:113-115 Upholding any source beside the Quran reflects disbelief in the Quran
@@YA-xw3cs show me in which verse Allah said music is haram. Show me the proof if you are truthful?
Objects in Islam are innocent, they are neither haram nor halal, they are neither sinful nor blessing. Haram and halal are basically determined by "the specific action" that are done using such objects in a "specific way" and in a "specific context or situation".
Furthermore, an action can be haram or halal depending on at least 3 criterias:
1) Is the "niat" (intention/goal/purpose) good or bad (to ourselves and other creatures)?
2) Is the procedure good or bad (to ourselves and other creatures)?
3) Is the impact good or bad (to ourselves or other creatures)?
If all of these criterias are good, then it is halal. If one or a few are bad, it could be either makrooh (permissible but not recommended) or haram (completely forbidden). If all are bad, it's most likely haram.
Example 1: Is alcohol haram or halal?
The answer is neither. Alcohol is an object, its is neutral. What is haram is the ACTION of drinking that alcohol, because the IMPACT of drinking alcohol is bad for ourselves (it could destroy our bodily functions), and even when drunk, we could harm othee people around us (bad for other creatures).
Example 2: Is killing haram or halal?
The answer is neither. Killing is neutral. It can be halal ONLY IF it is done for survival or defense (good intention) when any other methods are no longer possible. However, it can be haram if it is done because of rage or hatred (bad intention), done in such a horrific way (bad procedure), and caused more damage than good (bad impact).
Example 3: Is eating haram or halal?
Neither. Eating is neutral. It is halal when you eat healthy food in the exact proportion you need. It could be haram when you eat to showcase your social status (bad intention), or you eat too much food that may cause some failures in your health (bad impact), or you eat food that you stole from other people or using money that you stole from other people (bad procedure).
Last example: Is music haram or halal?
Neither. Music is itself is neutral, but listening to music can be halal or haram depending on the contexts. Listening or playing music is halal for your own entertainment or healing. However, it can be haram if you play a music with a provocative messages (bad intention), or if you play it so loudly that you disturb your neighbors (bad impact), or you play it too much that you forget anything else (bad procedure).
End quote: Islam is simple. Let's keep it that way.
Loved your answer but if you make any claims about God you should quote the surah and verse number so we can verify and also understand context.
@@Adar195 Yes, I believe that would be better. I am sorry I didn't provide any sources. I simply summarized what I believe as the full concept or conclusion of how haram and halal in Islam are defined, based on a series of other people's interpretations, debates and discussions, and my own observations when thinking deeply about Islamic rulings.
The reason why I concluded that haram and halal are highly situational and based on at least 3 things (purpose, procedure, impact) is because I observed that these 3 things always appear whenever there is a rule classifying if something halal or haram in the texts, whether implied or stated.
Let's take a look at the rule of "killing" as an example. Killing in Islam is both permissible and forbidden. Killing is highly forbidden as stated in Surah Al-Maidah, verse 32. However, killing is also permissable in Surah At-Taubah verse 123.
The big question is then "Why is there such contradiction? One allows it, while the other forbids it?"
Well, the answer is simple; The rule is not contradictive by any means, but it is HIGHLY SITUATIONAL. That is why, we CANNOT GENERALIZE one rule for EVERY SITUATION, because EACH SITUATION IS DIFFERENT and requires different approach in classifying the rule.
It is also why when reading the Qur'an or Sunnah, we MUST NOT become TOO TEXTUAL. We must also investigate its CONTEXTS or history, because only within the contexts can we find the true messages that God wanted to convey to us.
Killing is forbidden when there is no clear reason of doing so. It is considered one of the biggest sins a human could conduct. However, killing is permissable ONLY in the contexts of war or emergency.
It is that simple, and apparently every single rule in Islamic teachings follow this pattern. When there is a text that forbids something, usually you could find another texts that allows it, whether implied or stated. You will see texts that support one thing, and texts that are against the same thing. It is everywhere in Islam.
Now, the problem with muslims nowadays is that they become too textual, but they ignore contexts and reasons altogether. In fact, the biggest debates about Islamic rulings often happen among muslim scholars themselves, while actually the solution to those debates is really simple; IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXTS.
@@ginsan8198 yes by context i mean verse before and after and also the entire surah.
We gotta be careful with history as there are many versions of the same story but truth and false we can differentiate with Quran.
@@Adar195 I know what you mean, but I hope you get the idea behind what I was trying to say, or at least the gist of it.
Some of the examples I showed to you were situations that were mentioned exactly in the texts, such as the rules about killing and drinking alcohol (they were in the Qur'an, not too hard to find). However, some of the other examples were not directly mentioned, but implied.
Again, not every single situation is mentioned in the Qur'an or hadith, and probably not all of them need to be. That is why, for the situations that are not directly mentioned, we muslims have to think for ourselves using the bits of hints here and there from the Qur'an or hadith, and if we cannot find them, we use agreements that are not against the core principles of the Qur'an and sunnah.
That being said, I believe that if you carefully scan the texts, you will still be able to find bits that are related to each of the examples above.
For example, I stated before that eating food you stole could be haram, because stealing in general is strictly prohibited as mentioned in surah Al-Maidah verse 38. Eating too much is also hinted as haram, according to surah Al-A'raf verse 31. But, eating in general is halal because... Well, do we even need to quote a Quranic text for this one?
Music can be halal, because there was a hadith revealing that the prophet Muhammad attended one of his companions' wedding, and he allowed the singers there to continue their action (see hadith compilation by Bukhari or Ibn Majah). Atbthe same time, it can be haram according to another hadith that put music together with other sins, on the same sentence. It all depends on the situations.
I hope this clears up everything.
@@ginsan8198 sorry i reject all hadiths , if quran is clearly detailed and complete why we need man made documents to make it complete?

7:50 In fact, prohibiting what God has permitted is the same prohibition as permitting what God has forbidden. Therefore, in matters of disagreement such as these, you should never be hasty.

That’s the problem with this debate, it takes the side of well-what-if rather than hard fact

Dude what music have you been listening to 😂

@@Abdul-Baseer that sounds like a personal thing
Sounds like a you problem ngl, I don't listen to much music anymore but I never once felt that with music
@@cardboard_hat that is your opinion and I respect that. Different individuals have different feelings about music. Some people find it to be good, and some people think that its bad.
But it has a psychological effect on humanbeings. Thats proven science. Researchers have seen anomalies such as dopamine overdose happening in brain as soon as someone hears the music, or any other sound that seems to have a repetitive element, listening to music seems to be a virtual drug like effect thats manipulative and mind-altering. It interferes with the person's natural perception to the point that they end up feeling something that they were not supposed to feel.
In my opinion, Music is that tool which is used to control the masses in a very subtle way. In its very essence, its a propaganda machine.
Dear brother, you have my respect 💯💯 May Allah increase you in knowledge!!
Great video brother! You really delved deep into this matter And made it easy to understand. I hope you continue making videos in this great matter with your great editing.
Jazakallah Khair habibi, i was never into music but i recently got into it because i was interested in dancing, but this has had little positive effect nor brought me closer to allah. it sucks to give up something i was having fun with, but i was teetering on the edge and just listening to it without looking into if it was haram. Now i'm giving this up inshallah, I know the benefits are few for me, so it's not worth. May Allah increase you in this world and the next, ameen.
Allahouma barik thanks for this video my brother it's really important because music has such a bad influence without us being truly aware of it. And at your young age, may Allah give you a long life, pointing out this matter is a respectable thing. Barakallahou fik
Great approach brother!
I already know this, but very good brother
Advice:
If you are afflicted with listening to music then at least don't promote, share, nor put in any public places
May God bless you, brother, continue spreading awareness
Thx for making this video, wallahi u giving me motivation to be more serious with my religion
Takes an immense amount of strength for a pianist to accept this & give up music. You have my utmost respect brother, may Allah keep you steadfast in the Deen!
If you give up something for the sake of Allah. Allah will replace it with something much better

Very good to see you interested in knowing more the religion, especially when you re just 16 or so. Id suggest to look at the Fiqh Encyclopedia for all jurisprudence topics, it gives proofs, opinions and all important information about the topic. To be honest music isnt really much of a divisive topic though, the 4 main schools of jurisprudence mostly agree on music being overall forbidden, differences could occur in details and types of instruments but overall music is not seen positively, unlike for example drawing living beings in which the maliki madhab for example has it permitted while other dont. Id suggest my friend if you can to also start learning Fiqh, as one cannot directly project hadiths and extract the judgements on things without having the tools, as you said you are not a scholar but i think it is pretty interesting to know how scholars issue fatwa and their diverse thinking especially Fiqh al moqaran.
Really nice video
As a an arab person who lived in 2 different arab countries I say the biggest problem is that people are not educated too much about this topic unless you search it by yourself
I lived in oman considered a muslim arab country and I never was educated that music is haram and then when I moved to tunisia which is an arab muslim country I also didn't get any education about this topic
Alhamdulilah in the past 2 years by searching I literally knew +10 things that are haram and I didn't know before and people do normally in their life such as listening to music
Yes my Arab Brother, A sane person would rather be thrown in hell just because of loving & listening to music than be thrown in this imaginary heaven full of 72 virgins for killing their kafir relatives that they've been close with at some point of their lives. Kafir Relatives that've somehow a part of why they grow as a Human Being. They'd rather die & be in hell for being as harmless as a listener of music than being enforced to kill their well-being for First Cousin Incest & Pedophilia & later on justifying it through marriage. If you don't like music for it is a noise to your ears. Do not enforce others how to live their lives. Let us live our lives & learn from our mistakes. It's what makes a human, a human.

Literally the same happened to me rn.
I don't know why it got so hard all of a sudden, also my family listens to music; our weddings and celebrations are all with music and we are all Muslim, I can't even tell them to stop because they are adults and should know their Deen.
It is getting disgustingly hard.
May Allah SAW help us.
Trust me it gets extremely easy to refrain from music after a while. Just do not stop trying even if you slip a couple of time. And InshaAllah you'll find it easy to quit
Alhamdullilah I gave up music. Over 1 year clean but it's hard to avoid in most public spaces.
Another banger inshallah you go far with this channel
beautiful video brother, may Allah bless you.
I appreciate you brother unfortunately I saw many Muslims saying music is not haram ,but it's clear they just don't wanna accept this
Leaning so many things from you brother. May Allah bless you.
Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakutuhu brother Jan. I also used to play piano alot, and really enjoyed Chopin. It was a bit difficult at first, but as time went on i started feeling more at peace not actively listening to music or playing it. One of my favorite analogies some people use is: would you rather have the shahadah on your tongue when youre older and dying, or the lyrics of some song/melody of some music?
Brother, thank you for bringing us this knowledge and explanation. Please also keep in mind to not overburden yourself. It is important to take things easy and think long term. Being Muslim these days ain't easy. Hold onto the core beliefs, do the obligatory stuff, be a model human being and slowly ease yourself into radical changes.

Very well made 👌
There is no harm in a man having intercourse with two of his slave girls before he does shower. It is disapproved of, however, to go to a freewoman on another's day. There is no harm in making love first to one slave girl and then to another without shower.

Barak Allah feek, this is very informative
mashallah brother no words wellah such a good explanation may Allah be pleased with you
Wow, that was great!👍👍👍
You are very lucky that you know much more than a lazy-born Muslim wow keep going on the correct path may God bless you and save you❤️
I don’t know why it’s even a debate it’s so clear, btw can you make videos of the power of Dua?
Some music lovers won't accept
@@chees4407 No, more like we don't believe bullshit from bullshit religions like Islam.
keep up the good work brother❤
JazakAllah khair for these informations
No it's not, unless it connected with something haram.
There should be a reason for something to be haram, god forbid things for reasons
And also there is couple of schools in Islam and the biggest one is al azhar in Egypt and according to Al azhar music itself is not haram

Assalamu Alaykum brother
Assailamulaikum brother, your video was great, the way you talk is incredibly mature and I was surprised to see you’re sixteen. The way you speak is better than even some scholars I’ve heard, and inshallah may Allah reward you for your good and thank you for the videos!
Regardless of the matter, I recommend that you stop using Wahhabi (also known as Salafi) references. They are often biased and the only support they have is a large budget from Saudi Arabia
Wahab was the guy that when suadi was first created, he removed all man made additions to islam in the law.
So idk about alot of brothers and sisters but I asked alot of scholars and alot of them said, that if I listen to music it must be 1. Non cursive (doesn't contain swear words) 2. Doesn't mention anything that disobeys Allah (meaning the song doesn't say the rapper is a God astagfurallah or anything like that) 3. The song must not contain any haram scenes.
Same thing here and some famous islam people (idk what to call them in english) made songs about islam and why we should obey Allah. I dont get why thats haram but thats only my thinking
@@Zuamzaka If they dont have instruments its halal
Your local imam cant give a fatwa
@@mazenbraika2069is Imam Ghazali local Imam?
@@mrmsaid7617 Al ghazali didn't have knowledge of hadiths, so why take from him? besdies, a lot more scholars say it is haram. out of the major ones, I can only think of al ghazali and ibn hazam and both of their false views can be explained
Keep going your channel is informative.
Brother don’t worry about not uploading frequently, as long as you keep the quality of the videos 👍🏻
This world is truly for those who choose to sacrifice its fleeting pleasures for eternal fulfillment.
Brother you're more knowledgeable and smart than I ever will be but just it's pronounces Radi Allah Anho for males and Radi Allah Anha for females and Radi Allah Anhum for collective.

Music is intoxicating. Other people's emotions enter your heart, and other people's beliefs enter your mind, you stop hearing your own voice and lose sense of reality.
hey, the russian. do you know what nietzsche said? [he didn't like russians much. not sure he knew muslims have no songs. lol]
'Evil men have no songs.' How is it that the Russians have songs?

@ElyasQuick1 Wrong. Not all music is haram.
@@sam-ht6qv All 4 madhabs agree that musical instruments are prohibited and there is an almost complete consensus among scholars that musical instruments are prohibited except for specific exceptions (like the daff, especially during events like Eid or marriage).
@@sam-ht6qv The prohibition of music is based on clear statements of the Prophet ﷺ (Bukhari 5590, Ibn Majah 4020, Nasai 4135, Abi Dawud 4924, etc). In these narrations, the Prophet ﷺ predicts that a group will come in the future who will try to make musical instruments halal.
@@sam-ht6qv Remember, nobody whose name is “Sam” is qualified to talk about Islam. Go watch baseball, white boy.
You are inspiration Jan, may Allah reward you and elevate your rank
Good Job brother may Allah increases your Knowledge , and everyone speak about the Hadith in Bukhari for the sake of argument lets say it's weak , but many other scholars narrate it
Imam Ahmed narrate it , Abu Dawud narrated it and many more , these people are falling in what the prophet warned us from in that hadith that we make it lawful when it's haram
I am a simple man. I see Jan posted, I click.
There is music that drains you and music that empowers you. There is literally instrumental music that brings you closer to the Creator and inspires the will to righteousness, as well asmusic that brings you closer to hedonism and to shirk. It is not music itself, but the genre and type you choose to listen to.
To put all sound waves, hence music, per se, in one basket, is like banning all liquids> coffee, alcohol, juices... they're all liquid but they're not all bad. Critical thinking is necessary in matters like these, as the quran often commands us. May Allah guide us all.
Masha Allah brother.
I'm learning so many things from you.
Love from a Canadian muslim🤝🤝
great representation of the information you've gathered, its solidified my belief that music is indeed haram and finally lets people who make excuses saying theres gaps in the chains or this or that isn't authentic get a reality check.
Mashalla you are doing great!! Well appreciated and I subscribed to your channel also ❤ may Allah bless you!!!!!
Peace. Just like you, I'm not a scholar but there are a few things I'd have to dissent to here. 1. have you considered alternate opinions of scholars that don't hold the view that music is haram? Such as the respected Muhaddith Imam Al-Shawkani, who said "Music is not something that should be strongly rebuked" in a quote that I found online from his book 'Al-Badr al-Tali'. I also heard about another book of his titled 'Nayl al-Awtar', a book that Sheikh Uthman has called amazing and was cited by IslamQA in the anti-music fatwa you linked in the description. In the book, he says:
"The people of Madinah and those who agreed with them from among the dhahiriyya and the Sufis maintain that singing is permissible, even when it is accompanied by a musical instrument such as the lute or the flute. Abu Mansur Al-Baghdadi ash-Shafi`i narrates that `Abdullah Ibn Ja`far saw nothing wrong in singing, and he, himself, used to compose the music for his own slaves who used to sing these melodies in his presence.”
2. @1:55 You try to refute the idea that music isn't haram as long as it doesn't distract you from worshipping God or contains haram lyrics and you show a tafsir from Ibn Kathir @2:36 that describes 'idle talks' as singing; and If you look closely, you will see that idle talk is interpreted as singing that misleads people from the path of Allah. However, as you know, not all singing or music has haram lyrics or necessarily misleads people from the path of Allah, as some people have converted to Islam through music. So how does that argument hold up?
The tafsir also says"(purchases idol talks) is buying singing servant girls". Interestingly, I've found reports of companions owning slaves that played music, like this one: "Imam al-Haramayn mentioned in al-Nihaya that the trustworthy biographers reported that Abdullah ibn al-Zubair [may Allah be pleased with them both] owned slave girls who played the flute. Once, ibn Umar entered upon him and he had a flute by his side. Ibn Umar said: “O companion of the messenger of Allah! What is this?” Abdullah ibn Zubayr gave it to him and ibn Umar looked at it closely, and said: “Is this a Syrian flute?’ Ibn al-Zubair replied: “It is used to balance the minds." I haven't been able to find the specific origin for this, so forgive/excuse me if it's wrong.
3. How can singing be 'idle talking' if wives will sing to their husbands in Jannah according to the hadiths, meanwhile the Quran says there won't be idle talk in Jannah?
"There they will never hear any idle or sinful talk, only good and virtuous speech" - Quran (56:25-26)
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) said: “The wives of the people of Paradise will sing for their husbands in the sweetest voices that anyone has ever heard; among the things that they will sing is: We are the good and beautiful wives of noble people; we look at them (husbands) with delight in our eyes (i.e., with satisfaction).’ Another song will be, ‘We are eternal women who will never die; we are safe and will never feel fear; we are settled and will never leave (our husbands).” [At-Tabaraani, and Al-Albaani classified it as authentic].
4. I read an Al Azhar fatwa by Grand Mufti Sheikh Jad Ul-Haq Ali that references the scholar Ibn al-Qaysarani which argues Surah 62 contradicts the anti music interpretation of Surah 31 because of how the Arabic word Lawh is used. Lawh refers to amusement or distraction.
"Yet no sooner than they saw some trading or amusement, they flocked to it and left you standing by yourself. Tell them: “That which is with Allah is far better than amusement and trading. Allah is the Best Provider of sustenance" - Quran 62:11
The fatwa says:
"In this verse God has joined lahw (amusements with musical instruments) together with tijara (business or trade) using the grammatical particle wa (and) which means that the law and ruling that applies to one of them must apply to the other since they are joined together. We know that Muslims unanimously agree that tijara (business or trade) is permissible. Thus, in this verse the Quran is maintaining the status quo as far as the ruling regarding musical instruments is concerned since they were part of the Arab customs and culture before Islam. It is implausible to suggest that the Prophet might have prohibited musical instruments (before this incident took place) and yet when the musical troupe passes by the door of the Masjid God chooses not to reveal a single verse at that very moment clearly and finally stating that musical instruments and music are prohibited (haram) but instead He chooses to merely scold and reprimand (itaab) the people who left the Prophet standing while they went to listen to the musical troupe. It is also impossible to imagine that the Prophet would choose not to clearly state through sunna his ruling regarding music after this Friday incident. Therefore, the ruling regarding music or musical instruments will be based on the principle of permissibility (in other words we know that Music was permissible and we do not have any verse or sunna to prove that this changed). This can further be supported by the tradition reported by Aisha that she got one of her Ansari maids married to an Ansari man and upon hearing this, the Prophet suggested, why did you not all go to the wedding accompanied by lahw (amusement with instruments) as you know that the Ansari people love lahw. This tradition has been recorded by al-Bukhari in his Sahih under the chapter of marriage (Sharh Umdat al-qari ala sahih al-Bukhari 20/146 in the footnote of the previous source).
My apologies if the comment was too long. If I sounded too personal, it wasn't intentional. I hope you investigate it more, have a lovely day!
Wait, are you sure these reports are authentic? I'd like to read more about them
@@rahoomaaa9267 I haven't found the original source, but they were mentioned in fatwas I've read
You make a good point, though I think it’s somewhere in the middle- Like music can become haram if it becomes an addiction, therefore becoming a distraction, as well as the message. What is the song promoting? Is it promoting haram things like drugs and violence, or God and faith ? I think there is no definitive yes or no, but it depends on the frequency of your consumption of music and what kind of music you are listening to !
Don't take fatwas from Al Azhar for your own good
Fatwas from al azhar lol
Do we not sing in the calls to prayer?
Thank you for the great video, brother
No
yes we do. it's notes. everything is in a certain frequency and it's all music
Bro, i respect your efforts so much
I know its really hard to understand and grasp all these recourses, i didnt start deeply searching into thought-provoking topics until i was 18 but i was born with the mindset of always searching for the right thing and idk why im like this. Music is definitely one of the most debated topics in islam, hope this comment finds you well
God bless you brother
MasyaAllah good explanation brother
You know as much as i hate to admit it, i do sometimes listen to music and enjoy it, knowing that it's possibly haram, but doing something wrong, being awear of it, and telling everyone that it's haram, is significantly better than saying it's halal trying to justify my wrong deeds.
Ibn al Qayyim stated that Ibn Jubair said that a man asked Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, about major sins saying: "Are there only seven major sins?" Ibn Abbas replied:" There are up to 700, but there is no major sin with repentance, and there is no minor sin with persistence."
Please do try to quit brother. The proof is clear, and minor sins become major sins if you persist
@@JanRyczkowski you are absolutely right, I've been trying to slowly quit and im planning to continue to do so, until I completely remove this habit from my life.
Thanks for your reply, and may Allah grand you jannah ❤️🙏

1-well speech
2- authentic resources

@@JanRyczkowski your misleading people by saying this.
Remember 6:114-116
Brother, one more thing. Please don't tell others about your sins, Allah will forgive them out of mercy if you truly repent and never repeat again but people will remember them. On judgement day, they can bear witness for your sins. So never disclose your sins to others.@@masterzero1701
I build my whole life around music. Made Money with music, my skills and time went all into music, listening, making, mixing and recording others. Allah swt guided me away from it, and I never accepted it. Once I understood that everything comes from Allah and I studied my religion (and gave up music completely, started praying first time in my life) I realized that it was my test. Nobody can tell me it's impossible to live without music. Thats the same as drug addicts, they think they can't do it without and life is not worthy to be living without. That shows the level of brainwash they did on us. Music was never that strong in the general population. Now its so deep in peoples lives even kids who are 8 are influenced more by degenerate artists who are number 1 in the charts than by their own parents. Just think about this
and if someone is ignorant of this. let me tell you, lil nas x, a young man who in his music videos "stripped down to hell to give a lap dance to the devil" has virtual concerts on one of the most popular children games, like roblox, this man is on the charts for months. Travis scott and ariana grande also have virtual concerts in fortnite, they are being worshipped by their fans. Music is such a powerful tool for the devil.
@@DIRECTEDBYH so what would the caliph do to lil nas x?
there would be no lil nas x in the first place bc music won't be pushed and supported, it will be forbidden in the public, and especially public indecency like most music videos today
now my question, whats the purpose of your question? Don't you see the issues we have in the west bc of the things I've listed? Or do you just want to be a disingenuous troll trying to divert the topic? Sounded like that to me at least. Would be cool if you explain your thoughts
@@user-on8jx3qr8w I dunno man if you want rulings on specific crimes then go to islamqa or a scholar instead of asking here.
@@user-on8jx3qr8wtry to guide them towards the truth, towards the light?
Love your content, can you please do a video on videogames next?
lovely comeback i wanted to send you a video of a moroccan scholar named farid al ansari who detailed this subject in a genius detailed way but it's in arabic
When talking about Music being Haram is Islam you have to look at that subject from cultural and contextual standpoint, the Cultural aspect probably comes from Muslim knowledge of Subsaharan pagans who use instruments like drums to specifically invoke their "ancestral spirits" and the contextual aspect is discussed in this video, Alhamdulillah
While I do think the issue of music being haram should be explained, the point of the khilaf isn’t really in the hurmah but in the definition of Music. Like what did Ibn Mas’ud consider to be music and what was considered not. Nowadays we can define everything as music from the chirping of birds to the handcrafted guitar. The issue is also more nuanced because we have to determine is the sound of the instrument haram or the instrument itself. So there’s no blanket statement that can be made that “Music is haram” without leaving people without a definition and leaving them confused.
The problem is ibn massoud said “singing” not “music” 3:00, and you can read it in the video.
While singing as the video owner said in 8:45, is permissible.
The video owner is contradicting him self while proving there is no proof
Bro...a lot of respect from Holland.
May Allah increase you in beneficial knowledge and keep you firm upon Sunnah.
Jazak Allah khairan brother. Your video is great, Ma Shaa Allah. There's a sheikh who has some nice words about music in Arabic, I'll try to write them in English in short. He says: "People say music is the food of the soul, That could be true but music is a rotten food. And you don't want something rotten to compete with the word of Allah in your heart".
ASA akhi, you are a very intelligent kid mashallah especially considering your age. Just remember that for something to be deemed as 100% haram, it must be blatently said in either the Quran or in an undeniably authentic hadith that prescribes a punishment to it. Further, if the argument that music/instruments is haram is true, saying that it becomes halal of days like Eid or wedding is contradictory. If you examine anything that is undeniably haram in Islam, i.e. alcohol, theft, gambling, riba, etc, you will never come across a rule in which it becomes halal during prescribed days/times. Islam is a highly logical relgion alhamdulilah, so instruments specifically being haram does not make much sense and can enter upon a state of extremism and feeling like you're trapped especially since music has become such an integral part of this world. I definitely agree that music should be avoided if you feel that its distracting you from Islam, and if it contains profanity. Moreover, I agree that sahih al-Bukhari is of the most authentic hadith collections, however it is important to consider that there are certain hadiths in his collection that are not directly attributed to bukhari himself, including 5590. Regardless, i applaud you for seeking the truth mashallah, but it's still important to consider difference of opinion especially when discussing if something (that is not blatently clear in the Quran/undisputed hadith, is halal/haram. May Allah grant you many rewards inshallah
Alhamdulillah
MashAllah. beautiful video. surprised to know you're the same age as me. May Allah increase your rewards for your efforts greatly! I too have been making an effort to remove music from my life but it is so incredibly difficult. music that i have not heard for years end up playing in my head on loop with no way to stop it. i don't know if this is some adhd thing or whatever😅 but i'm making an effort. all the best
Good job man may Allah bless you
Inshaa Allah you will get something better in exchange for you leaving haram things for Allah. Abu Qatadah reported:
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
_“Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better for you.”_

I would probably get some tambourine for my wedding then
