Dear,
Do you like music? Is music a forbidden fruit to us? I wish to qoute here world  legendary musician, Beethovan: " Music is higher revelation than philosophy". May I add to Beethovan this also? ...But Gazal is the sweet flow in the profound river of philosopy.

Some believe music should be kept distance with us in the religious , cultural aspect. can we do ? what is your view ?

lovingly ,
wahab

(Personally I love music and waste a lot of time listening the same, sitting in front of the TV, watching Idea star, Gandharva Gaanam etc. etc. – this doesn't mean that I should say in support of music, if something is haram its haram, if Allah has forbidden something, we cannot make it halaal – may Allah forgive us)


"Allah has prohibited everything that is harmful to the welfare of a Muslim individual and the society as a whole."



"If you see, there is a close relationship between music and bodily movements. We find that people listening to music automatically start tapping their fingers and feet, as if the music is permeating in their blood."


"It is also proved that music affect`s one`s emotions, increases arousal in terms of alertness and excitement and also leads to various physiological changes in the person."



You will agree with me that we forget everything when we are in front of the TV or watching some performers, especially if he/she is one of our choice, we even suspend 'salaath' (namaskaram) just to continue listening to music. .



Believe me, messages of today`s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom..



" It`s my life, I`ll do what I want" is a predominant, underlying theme of today`s music. It is being used as a means for drilling those modern ideologies that are totally contrary to Islamic Shariah and values, into the minds of Muslims.
