    Music is so important to human life that there is a branch of Music Science called Music Therapy. I love music so much that I wanted to be a music therapist as my profession. God would never ask us to stop listening to music. Music is Therapy!! It stimulates our immune system decreasing blood cortisol levels (stress hormone). God created it for our well being! She will realise that pretty soon.
    "Music therapy has been shown to help with a range of health issues, such as promoting well-being, managing stress, reducing pain, eliciting emotions, improving memory, improving communication skills, improving self-esteem and much more. more from the neonatal period to the end of life”.

      Like I said in a former comment -probably one of the first treatises written about music therapy was by El Kindi who was one of the brightest lights of the Islamic golden age - so Islamic culture has not been unrelentingly anti music as some claim.

      There are studies that show, that music can impact our mood long-term, increasing depression or anxiety.

      And look at music today. The lyrics are horrible and promote a haram way of life. It's disgusting what some artist put out there. So this is an other good reason why music is haram.
      I am sure drinking alcohol feels also good but it is still haram.

      @@jaa24327 Yes, of course it depends on one's taste. I find some of the music and lyrics of today's music repulsive (WAP BY Cardi B) for example, but then again my parents didn't approve of some of the music I listened to either.
      Studies have also shown, however, that learning to play a musical instrument improves academic achievement.
      With all due respect, we can't possibly have a cohesive society, though, where some people (like me) consider music an essential part of civilization while others consider it a sin. This is why separate countries are better than trying to have some driving on the right side of the road, and others on the left in the same country, figuratively speaking of course.
      I don't mean this as an insult, but I get the same cringe feeling when I hear the call to prayer as I get from WAP, and just wish we could live in our own countries under the system we prefer, like good neighbours, and not interfere. It's just a naive dream, I know.

    You have no idea how incredible this video is for me... I was raised Muslim but I have an incredible passion and love for music. When I was severely depressed it was Music that gave me new perspective on life and helped give me the strength to move forward in life and in the process, I learned I had some musical talent/a musical mind.
    I started to hear beautiful, original music in my head everyday and eventually started composing/creating music on my piano/on my computer. It got to the point where people would ask me to play my compositions/improvise music during school talent shows etc. and I've even had people tell me that my music has brought them to tears or helped them get through a tough time, just as music did for me when I first fell in love. The reason I share this is to show how powerful and incredible of an impact music has had on my life as well as others. People have been encouraging me to study music composition and I love writing music more than anything, the idea of giving that up or going to hell for that was truly heartbreaking and awful for me.
    Also I FINALLY found what I'm looking for, that term Post-hoc realization. Every time someone would try to explain to me their reasoning for why music is bad/haram, they would all use weak/illogical arguments that, if applied to other things in life, would be grounds to make LITERALLY EVERY NON-RELIGOUS ACTIVITY HARAM (videogames, books, tv shows, sports, working out etc.) and I always felt that they there was just using reverse reasoning. To elaborate, I felt that, rather than using logic and evidence to find a strong conclusion, they were coming up with their own (often times weak/illogical) logic and evidence in order to rationalize a nonsensical, unexplained conclusion (that music is haram). They take something that doesn't make sense and try to make sense of it, and I understand why but it's infuriating to watch.

He even used a piece of wood on which he chewed instead of a tooth brush. He wore the same clothes as Al Qaida. With the person I had to care for in that family, most of the time there was the life stream of Mecca - but this was underlayed with a gregorian style music. Well Pope Gregory lived around the same time as Muhammad, and this "music" indeed was Quran recitation. This muslim woman talking against music, she was so much culturally starved, that she even got emotional with a music style she seems not to have liked before. I mean, I do like gregorian music, yet I do not like it enchanting to me something I do not really want to listen to.
      Let's say. The way how Muhammad is described, reminds me of a grandiose narcissist. Just as Aisha said: It seems that God agrees to whatever you say - And this kind of people can be indeed very jealous of everything that makes you a person. My mother was like that. When she died, my father would not know who he himself was. He had to find out himself, what he liked, what he thought (and he's highly intelligent). Every minute, that was not spent on my mother, was a crime in her eyes. - That's what Muhammad was like, too.

    Once during Ramadan, I cut out music completely. Only listening to nasheeds and lectures. I did see some benefits but as an ex-Muslim now, the nasheeds and lectures were simply a replacement for a void. It only felt positive because I was depriving myself of any stimuli.
    Now, I think everything should be within balance because (for me personally anyway) listening to music 24/7 really made me detach from reality.
    I made it a thing to now either read a book or not listen to music on my way to work. It helps me stay present and not get in my head too much.
    But it’s all about balance. Music is a beautiful art form and form of expression. We should indulge in it sometimes. Even with traditional music from different cultures etc. it’s beautiful.

      I agree. I am always so awestruck by traditional music from so many countries, India, China, Japan are my favourites. Music allows one to understand different cultures, worldviews and it also broadens our minds. Too bad some religions are always there to control their believer's every action so they do not feel any sort of doubt towards their religious practices. This is classic cult behaviour.

    I'm an atheist. In Christian church as a child, the singing of gospel songs and hymns was the only part i liked and actually looked forward to. The rest of the service was boring. The church being Bible-based, it followed a verse that says to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord, come before his presence with singing" and another verse that said "sing with the spirit and understanding". Unlike the Quran, the Bible is filled with descriptions of dancing and singing hymns of praise and gratitude. David is described as a great musician who sang and played a harp. A great wealth of glorious music has been inspired by biblical verses, both church singing and classical works such as Handel's Messiah. So Christianity, despite its many faults, is superior to Islam just for the music alone. I can't imagine how dreary it must be to grow up in the music-hating backward culture of Islam.

      Louis Farrakhan gave up concert violin playing to become a leader of the Nation of Islam (an offshoot of the mainstream of course). Cat Stevens joined Islam as "Yusuf Islam" and forsook his musical career. Sinead O'Connor decided she was a Muslim and presumably quit her singing, although just after converting she was trying to sing the call to prayer (it sounded awful!). How anyone could give up such a beautiful thing as music for such a horrible thing as Islam is beyond me.

      The easy answer is explained by the girl. Most religions rely on Feeling. The claim is that you feel a special connection to the holy text that nothing else can provide. This feeling is empathy to what the text is saying, but Music can do the same thing. This makes it harder to stay in the faith because why should someone follow all the rules and such when things outside the faith give you the same feeling? Islam has an advantage in non-Arabic speaking countries because most haven't grown up with it, and they don't intrinsically know what is being said, so it sounds far more magical and spiritual to those unfamiliar. Banning music is necessary because you can get the same response to music as you do the Quran even more so because Music can be tailored to your preference. This is also why almost all art is banned because Islam doesn't want you to build an empathetic relationship to anything outside of the religion. If you can have the same emotional reaction to a piece of art as you do with the Quran the argument falls apart.

This in return gave me victim complex and I became more aggressive to every one who were trying to make me stay away from Islam and more passionately connected to Islam. Thank god my Muslim period didn't last too long. It lasted about 5 years.

      Condemnation of singing and music in Islam
      Ma’aazif is the plural of mi’zafah, and refers to musical instwruments (Fath al-Baari, 10/55), instruments which are played (al-Majmoo’, 11/577). Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated from al-Jawhari (may Allaah have mercy on him) that ma’aazif means singing. In his Sihaah it says that it means musical instruments. It was also said that it refers to the sound of the instruments. In al-Hawaashi by al-Dimyaati (may Allaah have mercy on him) it says: ma’aazif means drums (dufoof, sing. daff) and other instruments which are struck or beaten (Fath al-Baari, 10/55).
      Evidence of prohibition in the Qur’aan and Sunnah:
      Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):
      “And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]
      The scholar of the ummah, Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: this means singing. Mujaahid (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafseer al-Tabari, 21/40).
      Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this aayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 3/451).
      Al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: this includes all manner of haraam speech, all idle talk and falsehood, and all nonsense that encourages kufr and disobedience; the words of those who say things to refute the truth and argue in support of falsehood to defeat the truth; and backbiting, slander, lies, insults and curses; the singing and musical instruments of the Shaytaan; and musical instruments which are of no spiritual or worldly benefit. (Tafseer al-Sa’di, 6/150)

    Thanks for this. I hope she and other religious people understand eventually that opinions like no music are the opinions of the person who created that belief system, not a deity or deities. This is completely a human creation.
    Her assumptions are so fascinating. Not everyone craves music or needs it. Granted I'll listen to it to dance but I rarely listen to music at all. Sometimes music manipulates emotions and I most times I do not want to feel certain things. I do not need music most of the time and that is ok. I might not want silence and if that is the case I'll listen to people talking. And if you are outside then it is rarely quite, you can listen to what is going on around you. Or you can think about yourself and notice your emotions, how you are breathing, or you can think. If she used music to regulate her emotions and emotional state then what is she feeling when she is not listening to music. Is she trying to avoid a series of emotions?
    And Quran recitations sound musical (I described it as sounds like singing once to a Muslim and was told "No! not singing!) to me. I can see her getting a chemical hit she used to get from music by listening to a musical like Quranic recitation.

      You asked me to tell prove your religion is pagan??
      Well, let me bring you proof nkt assumptions or claims!
      As Muhammad developed Islam he borrowed from the other regional religions present in the Mideast. These religions include Judaism, Christianity, Sabeanism, Zoroastrianism, and forms of paganism. Judaism is the largest contributor to Islam, followed by Christianity, then followed by the various pagan religions, and Muhammad’s mind.
      These pagan borrowings constitute significant facets of Islam and I will bring details some of these pagan contributions… to islam!
      paganism is an integral root of Islam; paganism is part of it's theology, history, ceremony, and veneration…
      So, where did Islam get the 5 times a day prayer from??
      What about fasting during Ramadan? - . The Eid? -( to be continued)
      1-PAGANISM IN ISLAM
      Islamic theology has some of its roots in various pagan beliefs. Primary to Islam is it's most holiest shrine: the Kaaba 🕋
      --THE KABA
      The Kaba is now the most revered sanctuary of Islam. It is located in Mecca in south Arabia as we all know,Muslims throughout the world direct their prayers toward the Kaba..,
      (In Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 5, #661)
      In Pre-Islamic history tells us that many Arabian tribes were stone worshippers. This is also mentioned in The Old Testament even talks about Mideast pagan groups that worshipped stones. Muhammad incorporated the Kaba's paganistic roots into Islam to give the Muslims a sense of identity, legitimacy, and uniqueness. He also wanted to ease the Arab's strain of moving from paganism to Islam, by continuing the practices of their fathers….
      Référence:
      Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 5, #661)
      Narrated Abu Raja Al-Utaridi:
      We used to worship stones, and when we found a better stone than the first one, we would throw the first one and take the latter, but if we could not get a stone then we would collect some earth (i.e. soil) and then bring a sheep and milk that sheep over it, and perform the Tawaf around it. When the month of Rajab came, we used (to stop the military actions), calling this month the iron remover, for we used to remove and throw away the iron parts of every spear and arrow in the month of Rajab. Abu Raja' added: When the Prophet sent with (Allah's) Message, I was a boy working as a shepherd of my family camels. When we heard the news about the appearance of the Prophet, we ran to the fire, i.e. to Musailima al-Kadhdhab.)
      Who was :Musailima al-Kadhdhab
      Musailima al-Kadhdhab,
      was a claimant of prophethood long before Muhammad, Muhammad took the name Muslim from him mocking him! This is the origin of the name Muslim!
      The ruling House of Saud of Saudi Arabia belongs to him which present day descendants ..
      He, Musailima was
      from the Banu Hanifa tribe,of which present day descendants include the House of Saud among other Najd tribes.
      Based from Diriyah in present day Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, he claimed to be a prophet long before Muhammad and was an opponent of islam in 7th-century Arabia. His descendants rule south Arabia today!
      PAGAN GODS AND RITUALS in Islam!
      There were 360 idols around the Kaba. The pilgrimages to the Kaba were all pagan pilgrimages, the ritual processions around the Kaba were part of pagan beliefs and custom, the white robes worn by the pilgrims were from pagan faiths( Hindu priests)the veneration of the Kaba and black stone are derived from pagan rituals ( shiva) and beliefs.
      Pagans called out the names of their pagan gods as they circled the Kaba, today, Muslims call out Allah's name. Pagans ran between the nearby hills, Muhammad authorized Muslims to do that in the Quran, and ran between the hills himself. Like his encestor!
      The chief pagan god worshipped there was Hubal,( ya sin) ( Quran 36 chapter is dedicated for ya-sin) the god in charge of the moon!
      who was called the god of Mecca and of the Kaba. mentioned in the Quran. The goddesses al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat were also worshipped there and are mentioned in the Quran...
      It is thought that the Kaba was originally set up for astral worship. Golden suns and moons are repeatedly mentioned as the votive gifts. Some pagans regarded the Kaba as a temple devoted to the sun, ( akbar) and the moon, ( allah) and 5 planets.
      THE BLACK STONE
      The black stone played a prominent role in pagan worship. The pagans offered animal sacrifices there. But the idol of the black stone replaced the alter; on the black stone they smeared the blood of the sacrificed animals.long before Islam!
      Muhammad made up historical references for the Kaba. Muhammad claimed that Abraham and Ishmael laid the foundations of the Kaba (Quran 2:127). Muhammad claimed that God ordained the Kaba as a sacred house (Quran 5:97).
      Muhammad also claimed that it was the first temple ever built for mankind (Quran 3:97).
      Only Muhammad claimed that it was a place built by Abraham. In looking in the Old Testament and Torah we find no mention of Abraham traveling to Mecca to build a house of worship
      the late Taha Hussein, one of the most famous Egyptian professors of Arabic literature said that the Islamic myth of Abraham building the Kaba came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. He comments: ( quote)
      """The case of this episode is very obvious because it is of recent date, and came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. Islam exploited it for religious reasons". Quoted in 'Mizar al-Islam' by Anwar al-Jundi.
      Taha Hussein à salafist
      was one of the most influential Egyptian writers and intellectuals, and a figurehead for the Arab Renaissance and the modernist movement in the Arab world in the book
      Mizar al-Islam' by Anwar al-Jundi.
      Said that:
      It was very obvious that The claim that Abraham and Ishmael went to Mecca because it is of recent date, and came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. And Islam exploited it for religious reasons"..
      Abraham never been in Mecca!

      If you are an atheist yourself, I have a question for you. What do you base your morality on? Put simply, atheists have no grounds for objective, universal morality. Each atheist can have their own version of what is right or wrong. What makes rape or murder wrong to an atheist? How about smoking or drinking? How about interest (increasing amount of money due), or pre-marital sex? What makes any of these moral or immoral. Muslims follow the Quran, which comes from God, the all-knowing. As God knows humans better than they know themselves, it makes perfect sense that He would give us the perfect way to live our lives. But how do atheists live a moral life?

    21:58 Lady, there is no such thing as a ''sweetness of life'' a person achieves simply because s\he stops listening to music. Sounds to me you are forcing yourself to believe a meaningless idea that you've accepted because it is imposed upon you, but makes no real sense at all. Just like speech, the only thing that taints speech is one's choice of words, whether they are wholesome or unwholesome.. And music is the same, in that there is nothing wrong outright with music, and the only time music becomes tainted or immoral is when the lyrics - the *words* - are unwholesome, either because they are lustful or full of cursing or glorifying violence and such things.. It's a no-brainer. This is the *only* time music can been classified as unwholesome. I believe a simple rule of thumb is if you can't play it to or in-front of your children then the words are usually unfit for anyone. I am very into opera and classical music and piano classics such as Erik Satie's ''Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes''; and there is NO WAY any Muslim can listen to the piano classics album ''Gymnopédies & Gnossiennes'' and point a single thing that's immoral or unwholesome about it. And the simple fact is no Muslim can. It has no lyrics to taint it, yet it is music. I workout about 5-6 times per week, and as a Londoner I grew up listening to Jungle\Drum and Bass, which is what I workout to, every single time... and again, most of it really has no lyrics; and there's nothing about such music that a Muslim can listen to and pick out an immoral aspect to point to. Islam clearly contains a lot of meaningless man-made teachings that have been elevated to fake divine status, and sadly people like this young girl force themselves to accept such meaningless man-made rules as something divine. If you feel the need to stop people from listening to music, Muslims, then you are also implying that people shouldn't make sounds to communicate - since it is only speech that can possibly taint music - or that the birds should all be shot down in order to silence them, or that whales should all be killed to stop them from singing... You begin to see just how bonkers, meaningless and manmade such Islamic teachings really are. They are senseless.

    yeah well I'm a Christian so this idea is completely new to me. For things forbidden by the Catholic Church, there is at least some genuine reasoning behind it even if not everyone would agree with the perspective. But music...it's not like there's only bad music. Music is like any art - you have the Florence Cathedral and you have Mozart, Beethoven, Sibelius, choral music - some music that is really high art, enduring for centuries, music that lifts up your soul. For example, listen to Ave Verum by William Byrd - brings you to tears, it's so beautiful. In Christianity, beauty is a really good thing and it often brings you closer to God by seeing it. Such is the case with many works of art.

    Thank you Abdullah for your gentle and humble approach regarding the issues you discuss and bring forward in your videos.
    As a fundamental Christian one of the main ways I challenge Muslims in what they believe and practice is to genuinely think through what they believe, why they believe, and how they practice their beliefs. Muslims assert that they believe the Torah and Gospel. The Torah explicitly teaches that not only were Jews (under the direction of Moses) commanded and encouraged to produce instruments for use during worship services there were dedicated singers for the temple and Tent of Meeting. If music is haram why would God command music services including both varied instruments and singing in His Temple? The truth is Islam does suck the life out of people.
    Islam reminds me of the Borg on Star Trek. If people do not assimilate and lose their humanity they are then destroyed. It is sad to see this young lady and countless others fall for the deception of Islam.

    Even before humans learnt to speak we were playing music and this lead in the development of our language learning and Islam says it’s haram. Actually Islam is haram.
