The End of Music - Kamal el-Mekki

Sheikh Kamal El Mekki points out logic, statistics, stories from our time and the time of the Sahabah and evidence from the Quran and Sunnah to explain why music is haram. For instance, as many of us know Halal things are always surrounded by good and righteous things and individuals (such as Prayer, recitation of the Quran, etc) and Haram things are usually accompanied by Haram attributes. Music is known to by surrounded by many haram things such as alcohol, intermingling of the genders, inappropriately dressed females, and night clubs- just to name a few. One cannot fathom music to be played in a righteous setting such as a Masjid. Even the feeling that is gotten from listening to music is a weird type of high, one that deviates the individual from the Quran- one rarely can switch from listening to a music CD to recitation from the Glorious Quran. Umar ibn Abdul-Azeez wrote to the mu'adib his sons' tutor: "Let your first lesson for them be the hatred of musical instruments that come from (or begin with) Satan and end with the wrath of Allah; for it reached me from the people of knowledge that listening to music and songs grows hypocrisy in the heart as water makes plants grow." Quran takes the individual in one direction (abandoning ones desires, guarding chastity, etc) while music drags the individual in the other direction, these are two opposing mediums which cannot both reside in the heart of the believer. After all, as was mentioned during the event, it is not scholars, righteous woman or men, or people you'd turn to for serious advice who write the lyrics to songs. If music were a good thing, it would have surely benefited and softened the hearts of the musicians- however we know very well that they lead empty lives of psychological depression and bad behavior.

Giving up Music is soo easy!

Just delete all your songs on your IPOD and put Qur`an in it.

Always ask yourself, Listen to Allah`s (S.W.T.) words or a singer.

The hard part for me was telling people I don`t listen to music.

sometimes i forget my own humble begginings that i began quiting music from nasheeds or other forms of music and entertainment A LOT until slowly Allah showed me a place even BETTER where i can find peace and productivity and pleasure in my religion. The Quran

[loaded99percent]

I look to music to explain the quran to me but i never looked at the Quran to explain the Quran for me. after all this though I cant help but mention, even though i believe its haram, i cant go around repeating that music is haram, rather that i slowly encourage them to listen to beneficial words of dhikr like nasheeds and just like islam is, step by step allah will guide them (as i do my part as well) to get closer and closer to the Quran.

[loaded99percent]

Just what I needed.I constantly am asking for guidance and im confused what the straight path is, whats right and whats wrong even though it feels so good.  wallahi ive always felt in my fitra that this is wrong but i havent felt more confident in it that now after all the stories, daleels (evidences), and encouragement and that this religion is the truth. I looked to music to find peace in my religion and i didnt look to the religion itself.

Salam,

I want to thank Kamal el-Mekki because he saved my marriage

I am Egyptian, married with an Egyptian , we have 2 daughters, living in US Chicago

I tried all that I could to tell my wife that music is haram but nothing work, she always argue with me that it is not haram

I asked to take time and listen to this video, she did and the result was an amazing miracle, she quit listening to music and she went further, she is now telling people that music is haram

[solidwolf66]

I know I'd probably be laughing to (out of nervousness(?)) if I was where this lecture took place when he started questioning us to song lyrics, but right here I'm kind of dissapointed..

[solidwolf66]

Best lecture on why music is haram.
