YMA Ashuraa 2011 - What is Islam's perspective on music? Dr. Sayyid Jafar Al-Qazwini looks at our natural inclinations and examines our ideas of pleasure.
The reasoning offered here as to why humans should not listen to music is just laughable! Especially since music IS that which sets humans above all other animals -- as opposed to sex and eating. It's no wonder that Muslims seem so universally devoid of joy -- because afterall, if something makes you smile, then it must be haram!! Then to go on and on about the "intellectual" soul -- if that's so important in Islam, why are the populations of most Muslim countries so grossly under-educated?
