Why Is Music Haram In Islam?

Rihanna, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Wizkid, David,you burnaboy, shattawale, Sarkodie and stonebwoy are just a few of the millions of famous music stars around the world we follow and listen to. It’ obvious that been a music lover isn’t seen to be too bad since everyone try to listen to music either to please themselves or any other personal reason which they think will be really beneficial but let’s combine science and religion to get to know if listening to music is really good for the body and soul.

Narrated Abu ‘Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash’ari: that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful.

And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, ‘Return to us tomorrow.’ Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection.”

Sahih al-Bukhari, 5590

“And of mankind is he who purchases Lahw Al-Hadith to mislead (men) from the path of Allah without knowledge”( Surah Al-Lukman, 31:6 )

Those who turn away from the Qur’an and do not benefit from hearing the Words of Allah. Instead, they turn to listening to flutes and singing accompanied by musical instruments. As Ibn Mas`ud commented about the Ayah: ( “And of mankind is he who purchases Lahu Al-Hadith to mislead (men) from the path of Allah” )

he said, “This — by Allah — refers to singing.”

In Toronto University, they did a study and come to find out that certain musical instruments when you listen to them, it releases ” Dopamine “ . Dopamine is the same chemical that releases when you take Hadcore drugs. Sometimes it makes you feel depressed. People might wake up in the morning and feel depressed and they won’t even know that it’s the song that they listened to.

If it is not bad for us, Allah Wouldn’t have ordered us to stay away from it. 

The Qur’an is obviously a good food for the soul and heart. Dear Muslims, Learn to recite the Quran, or listen to it Frequently.

May Allaah grant us understanding.
