Dr. Shabir Ally is one of the few people who explain things before giving a conclusion, while the rest always jump to a conclusion and say everything is HARAM!
Yes, they act insecure because they are lacking something, and their desire for control stems from their own issues. You can't just claim, "Oh, it's because our prophet said so." If it were as serious as you're making it out to be, like zina (adultery), which is clearly and explicitly condemned by Allah, then it would be plainly stated as a major sin in every religious text. But it's not mentioned like that anywhere, so take a step back and focus on improving yourself. Find purpose in life, and work on your own growth instead of putting others down and ruining their legitimate enjoyment.
In Quran ﷲ says Quran is a clear book. And Allah never mentions in Quran Music is haram. If Music is Haram ﷲ (ﷻ) would have mentioned it in His book. And I’m pretty sure that He would never miss to mention it clearly like all the other sins. Even in His book He mentions “Don’t lie”. The simplest sin that I knew.
@@hassanfaisal531 The Quran speaks about a group of people who do not get any benefit out of it. It is a perfect revelation into the meaning of which only the purified can penetrate.
At the time of Prophet Mohammed and time of Khikafat e Rashid different kind of musical instruments were available and in use by people other than Followers of Prophet Mohammed and Sahaba Ajmaeen. Dr. Shabbir Ali, please give any example of using those instruments by Prophet, Khulafah e Rashid and Tabaeen except Duff ? Now come to logic harmful or beneficial. Music and some musical instruments definitely gave very strong impact on mental conditions, and very effectively can deter human consciousness, determination. I am trained ( partial) musician, vocal and instrument, and I have very good experience how dangerous music can be to distract from positive active to either passive or towards negative activities in life. It is similar to drinking Alcohol, as it is mentioned in Quran, Alcohol has more negative effects than positive benefits. Allah knows best.

Do not use social media anymore, social media contain music when you scroll up or down you will bump onto music Don’t go to malls as they will play music too sometimes. Do not send your child to a nursery they will teach using musical methods at times to engage their motor skills. I find it funny some Islamic TH-camrs said music is Haram and yet they have intros with their names and some music along with it before they start. Any ambience sound with a note is a musical note. That’s music.
Qur'an has NEVER termed music as haram, some people did. Saying Music is Haram is like saying talking is Haram. There are some speeches that are beneficial to man while others are derogatory and annoying. So also is music, it is our speech in a melodious tone, with sounds.
Thank you for addressing this topic. I play classical music on the piano, and when I was told that music is haram I was heartbroken. I always stop playing when the Adzan is recited and only return to play the piano after my prayers are conplete. I am glad to hear your opinion. It has really soothed my heart.
always find your answer in the most authentic sources, the quran and the hadist, and as Dr Shabir pointed out there are no clear prohibition to music so we should not prohibit ourselves what god does not forbid. Furthermore, we must also use our mind. Some scholars in my country argue if the music is haram, which part of it is haram. Is it the song, the tune, the sound, the instrument or is it the combination? they are all natural and around us. our own natural speech has music, the very keyboard am typing right now produces sound. What I understand is anything, including music, can be haram if it does not have any benefit and lead us astray from God not the music itself.

We immigrated to Toronto in 1972. Judaism, Islam , Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism have all been corrupted by men. All the scriptures are corrupt but all of you must observe the Laws Of God in the “ Old Testament.” Yeshua ( Pbuh) never said you can deviate from the Laws Of God.

mainstream opinions also known as "ijmaa'" which is also considered as something of authority in terms of fiqh issues in islam, there is huge consensus amongst scholars that music is Haram except for the duff.
I had to do quite a bit of research on this very subject and to me it is a huge stretch to say music is haram in Islam. There is simply no clear guidance like this. We are supposed to be careful not to make those things haram that God and Quran has not made haram. There are warnings for people doing exactly this in the Quran. Thanks for the video.
There is plenty of evidence to support that music is haram. The verse in Surah Luqman addressing “lahwal hadith” actually does refer to musical instruments according to the Sahabas, May Allah be pleased with them. Furthermore, In Saheeh Al Bukhari 5590, the Prophet peace be upon him says that, people of his ummah will consider “Ma’azif” as lawful. And “Ma’azif” refers to musical instruments. Unfortunately the person in this video is spreading misinformation, May Allah guide him and his followers.
@@abdulrahman7589 the Arabic لَهۡوَ الۡحَدِيۡثِ means distracting The word لهو means distracting The word حديث means hadith the meaning is talks, sayings, speech and events. There is nothing about music. It simply means distracting talks. You people don't read the Quran for studying and understanding yourself. You depend on others to tell you what the Quran means. The Quran was sent down for all human beings, not just for scholars.
That's not very true Music is not bad Music can be highly influential On a person or persons or groups of person Music should be taken with a grain of salt Especially not distract from living a healthy life ?
Music, whether good speech or not, impacted my iman negatively, destroyed for me the pleasure of listening and memorizing the quran and opens the door of different sin easier. Music is extremely addictive. And I swear, you will never ever taste the sweetness of imaan if your heart is addicted to this garbage. Once you unchain yourself from this music, you will never miss it and even hate is. Most people in the comment section just want to hear what suits their desires, even if it means risking hellfire for it.
I'm not going to play the Quran on loop when doing work. I'll choose music because it does a better job of keeping me focused. Plus the Quran is too sacred to treat it like music.
Good music has no any relation with negativity of Iman. Do not make your own baseless stories. You can listen Good Music; and also you can recite Quran and take guidance from Quran in the same day
@@SoufBouchahati Exactly! These are people, battling with the addictiveness of music, who couldn’t help but subscribe to the opinion of a “scholar” who trivialises and compromises on almost everything issue Islam abhors or discourages. If a Muslim can’t find more pleasure in listening to the Qur’aan than music, then he/she needs to engage in sincere tawbah, do endless zikr, and make du’a that Allah increases His love in his/her heart ‘cause it’s been destroyed and hardened by music. Music doesn’t only hardened the heart, sow seeds of hypocrisy in it, but also makes a person vulnerable to the temptations of shaitan. And not only that, but a keen listener of music, is an easy target of black magic, sihr, evil eye, jinn possession and every form of evil. If music was truly soothing to the heart, then 90% of musicians won’t be on antidepressants and suicidal despite the fame and wealth they’ve amassed.
Alot of the modern push to ban Music in Islam comes from people who listened to some pop and rap when they were younger, realizing that alot of it trashy and unserious, and deciding that is sucks. This has broadly been my experience with this issue. But alot of music, a majority of it, is clean and not riddled with vice and haram. Pretty much anything outside of the two genres a mentioned, like Jazz, Classical, Metal, and electronic is clean, especially when there aren't lyrics. Taking this into account makes the main hadith on this make more sense. Tying music to or hiding haram inside of it is the real problem. Not music itself.
The majority of music has lyrics that focus on dunya or negative things (like heartbreak, romance stories that lead to zina, depression, hate, immorality, glorifying war, fame, power, etc.) no matter the genre. It is only a minority of songs which have innocent or positive lyrics. This is a reality you need to accept. Even when it comes to instrumental music, a lot of it can affect our brain in negative ways, too. And there are many studies that corroborate this. So even if we don't say that music is Haram, it is totally obvious that the vast majority of it is a bad influence, and anyone who really knows about music and is sincere will have to admit it.
Muslim Scholars all over the world have explained everything in detail as why it's prohibited. What led it into prohibition. What are its benefits and what are its demerits. Only problem is that people don't take the effort to look into its deep rooted meanings. People are looking for loopholes how best they can legalise forbidden things. How best they can take interest (usuary) and so on. And people like Shabbir Ali can raise funds in the form of donation by legalising forbidden things.
The more I watch Dr Shabir Ally, the more I like him, he is speaking truth more and more I watch him. He is preferring to trust Allah's word over weak hadith.
It is shocking how you say that Saheeh Al Bukhari contains weak Hadiths, while every single one of them is sahih (sound/authentic). Imam As-Suyooti رحمه الله actually said that whoever rejects a report of the Prophet ﷺ which fulfills the conditions of Usool al-Hadith, has committed an act of disbelief which puts him out of the fold of Islam.
@wassfoot95 It seems like you are more fond of hadiths than the quran,kindly be fond more of the quran, the sahih al bukhari was complied around 200 years after the death of our Prophet (PBUH) so it's totally impossible for the book Sahih Al bukhari to be totally authentic,there will be some small errors which can make hadiths weak.There is no book that will equally hold the same status and authenticity of the quran.
@@fresh_mango5156 there are Hadiths reported just 30 years after the Prophet ﷺ death. Imam Bukhari just collected the Hadiths, but they were already memorized way before his birth. Also Allah promised to preserve both the Quran and Hadiths. There simply cannot be faults in Saheeh Al Bukhari and scholars have agreed on this for hundreds of years.
Islam is more nuanced and balanced . This perspective by the sheikh perfectly sums that up. The fact that the Quran itself never explicitly states it as something immoral or haram or that the prophet Muhammad(pbuh) never explicitly said anything in its condemnation says a lot. The harshest criticisms come from the sahaba. My question is, in a community where they clearly played music , why didn’t the messenger of Allah say anything outright ? Even when it was played in front of him or share any ayat from Allah outlawing this specific issue ? We are left only with mere interpretations and understanding that it’s haram based on a specific point of view . Blanket interpretation about something is what a lot of people have an issue with .

Dr. Shabir Ali believes he knows better than the greatest companions of our beloved prophet (saw). Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas, Jabir, ‘Ikrimah, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, Mujahid, Makhul and Hasan Al Basri (rahimahumullah) were all of the view that ‘futile discourse’ refers to music/ musical instruments. ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) took an oath and swore by Allah three times that this verse is referring to music. How misguided and arrogant are we to think we know better than they did as to what was meant by the revelation!
Glad to hear that someone is speaking this out. Dr. Shabir is not the fully authentic source rather I believe more on what was established by imam Abu Hanifa. This video is misleading.
In Hadeeth thier was a couple or few girls who where singing. As I remember a companion discouraged this, and the Prohet said let them sing, this is their way to celebrate.
@@zakisal9399 I think most of the music today would be forbidden. Content and loudness has a lot to do with it. Heavy Metal being one of the worst, devil music.
Let’s be honest, if the music has haram content or leads to haram behavior then avoid. I use music to work and workout as well as get through mundane tasks. I don’t see an issue. Btw I tried stopping music and it just hurt my deen as I burnt out. I mostly listen to instrumental to focus. Lyrics only if they’re wise or remind me to be good etc Allah knows best
Another thing to add to your point. Music requires talent that is given by Allah subhanahu watala. We should ask ourselves, would Allah give us gifts or talents that we should not use?
Salam you said that you tried stopping music and it hurts your Deen is all clear sign that it is not good I’m not a scholar of anything and I don’t wanna be a hypocrite, but that’s already a clear sign that it’s not good because you cannot go without it and that’s materialising if I’m correct.
Self-proclaimed scholars giving fatwas that trivialises their sins… how convenient.. Lol. Definitely not a place for a layman like myself. May Allah guide us to the truth. Aameen
Music is inherent in nature. If rythmic music is played, an infant or toddler will start to move and enjoy. If used in goodway, it can help relieve anxiety and depression. Fundamental quantum particles vibrate and dance, so how can music be forbidden. Mullahs misinterpret teachings of Quran and sunnah.
Bukhari 5590 and also music was invented later on by humans, not inherent in nature. And quantum particles vibrate to any sound, they just "dance" cuz music is played in rhythms
Excellent answer sir, im a new hindu revert who is a guitar player, initially so many muslims asked me to leave my guitar and i strongly believe music is divine and the talent i got is gift from allah, i don't support bad music (music that support alcohol,drugs and obscene) i support clean music inshallah muslim ummah should understand this one day music is from allah and is divine if it is used wisely, thats why Allah revelead quran in a musical recitation

@haze0706 yeah man shaytan makes music.. 😂😂😂😂you lake brain cell. Eat protein 😂 no doubt people like you are the reasons why the World had to see i$i$.
Music is not Haram, these are the evidences from authentic Hadiths.👇 1. Whatever ALLAH leaves without saying Haram are halal by default. General Fiqh rule. 2. HADITHS - Prophet(SA) allowed music with instruments in his own house during Eid - Sahih Bukhari 987, 988, 3931, 949, 952. 3. HADITHS - Prophet(SA) compared the quran recitation of a companion to the musical sound of Mazamir(wind instruments, flute). - Al Adab Al Mufrad 805, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1087, Sahih bukhari 5048. 4. HADITHS - Prophet Muhammad(SA) invited singers to a wedding function to sing - Sunan Ibn Mājah 1900. 5. That "Bukhari hadis 5590 which says musical instruments are haram in an indirect way" is a hanged hadis or an un-numbered hadis in bukhari text. Because the reporter lacks the connection to the Prophet(sa). 6. A Slave Girl invited Prophet(SA) to listen to her song playing tambourine - Tirmidhi 3690 7. Only ALLAH has the authority to declare Haram. Scholars do not have that authority. Inorder to consider anything as Haram it requires solid authentic evidences. Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is lawful, and that is unlawful,” ˹only˺ fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed. Quran 16:116

Truly fear of Allah is all there is to make a man follow the clear words of Allah and his Messenger (saw) and avoid following whims and desires.

Just because Madhabs are known to “unanimously rule” music as haram does not mean this rules paints the full picture - Madhabs are schools of thoughts not unanimous thought - if your logic was correct then the most populated Muslim country’s such as Indonesia’s Ulama council should ban music - or maybe the most knowledgeable Muhaddith in North America (potentially the world) should say music is haram (He/Imam Al Ninowy from Madina Institute does not…), or maybe reknowned scholar Al Qaradawi who ruled and was respected in Islamic jurispudence / Fiqh also should’ve said it was haram (he did not)… Or maybe we should realize that when speakers such as Hamza Yusuf, Mufti Menk, or Dr Yasir Qadhi discuss music they say to simply avoid it and always state that there’s a difference of opinion / debate BEFORE giving their personal opinion …🤔… almost as if being careful to call something haram like TikTok does instantly
Thank you so much. I’m a violin teacher. I work with little kids and we play classical music. I don’t do it for entertainment but I do love my job. I don’t perform, I don’t play for anyone and only use my violin skills in teaching. I never felt like I’m doing anything haram cause I don’t feel negative effects but people constantly telling me I should ditch my job (which is so hard cause the time, energy, pain, tears,frustration and money spent on me finishing my academy, music school that lasted 20 years, my parents sweat and tears.. not to mention it’s a job that allows me to not mix with men AND have time for every salah) when there is no clear evidence that what I’m doing is a pathway to hell. I went through classical music education before I even knew people considered music haram so I didn’t even really have a choice back then. And now it feels like throwing away so much when I can’t find clear indication that I should.
Music is forbidden because it is transformative. Sitting here listening to Natalie Merchant I cannot imagine living life without hearing that voice, I am transformed. It is immoral to keep people from the beauty of music. Would you prevent the birds from singing? I can certainly see how some music is harmful though, like Marilyn Manson.
And as long as it doesn’t promote girlfriend boyfriend culture and drugs that almost every music involves nowadays. So it’s better not to listen music. And instead listen to Quran.
Its like you put forward a question is food haram or halal During the prophet عليه الصلاة و السلام They welcomed him in Madina with music 🎵 back then many musical 🎤 instruments 🥁 were never invented
I noticed some Muslim TH-camrs who say music is haram (except voices and somer percusive sounds) also suggest video games, like Super Mario Bros, are fine and they play them. They also mention some movies. But those games and movies have music.
that is probably mostly because there is a difference between asamie and al mustamie(the one who heard intentionally vs. the one who heard unintentionally). When you play video games it isn't to listen to music but also you do have the option to turn of ost as well as mute the whole game.

But on the opposite side, we have many sahih hadiths in which the prophet casually listens to music (duff) and singing. So in the end you have nothing but unclear and weak hadiths that can't be used to say music is haram. And if you say the Qur'an prohibited it, "lahw el hadith" is a generic term for anything with no benefit. And if you read the entire verse and the one after it. Allah clearly condemned the people who use lahw el hadith and he says nothing about the lahw itself.

What an amazing and succinct explanation. This is the conclusion I came to, but to hear it so eloquently put and from a man of knowledge is wonderful. I wonder what the haram police have to say to this?
This is exactly what the hadith says. The Prophet said that there would appear the people from his ummah who WILL PERMIT zina, wine, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS and silk.

@@3dprintingpracticals177I do. ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) took an oath that this verse is referring to music. Refer: Tafsir Ibn Abi Hatim, Tafsirul Baghawi -Ma’alimut Tanzil- and Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah Luqman, Verse: 6. Also see Al Adabul Mufrad of Imam Bukhari, Hadith: 1265 and As Sunanul Kubra of Imam Bayhaqi, vol. 10 pg. 221) If you want more, ask me.
When we are more near to qiyamat.more muslims try to make more harams to halal.because it's one of the characteristics of last time "it will be tough for muslims to live.""Whoever performs an act of obedience in the early days of Islam will re ceive a reward seventy times greater than in later times." (Sahih al-Bukhari)"
He mentioned the Hadith prohibiting music in the video, but came to rather very peculiar conclusion. He said that since this Hadith prohibits musical instruments (of which duff is one) and since we know that duff is allowed, therefore the meaning of this Hadith cannot be understood to mean what it literally means. This is a very peculiar conclusion since all you need to see to make sense of it is to understand that duff is the exception! There are exceptions to every islamic scenario! How this elementary principle was overlooked is very very suspect here. Nevertheless we take music to be forbidden with the exception of duff. And Allah knows best.
in that hadith the duff was treated like any other musical instrument, it was destroyed, ofc since the duff is allowed there has to be another reason for why they were distroyed(they were used as a form of distraction, doing haram lyrics, were bought immorally etc....)
If the duff is an exception like you concluded, then why was it destroyed then? Especially if you think the reason to destroy them was because the music in general is Haram. There must have been other reasons why those musical instruments were destroyed. I'm confused 😥
@@umah. What exactly are you referring to when you say the "duff was destroyed"???? Provide references and don't assume I know what your referring to because don't know of any scenarios where the "duff was destroyed" as you say.
Thanks for being more clear in this, some Muslims especially from Indo Pakistani background think all forms of music is haraam one molvi even insisted that little children whistling or songing or laughing too mich should also be disciplined as its haram
This man is not a scholar. There are authentic Hadith on prohibition of music.

@@nazmul_khan_ as a muslim, there is one very profound difference: the Prophet (saw) of Allah allowed the duff (Albiet only in certain specific circumstances), and prohibited other kinds of instruments altogether. It's that simple! As far as using our reasoning is concerned to determine why this is so when we consider that other musical instruments have similar effect on the mind as duff......it will have no impact to change the prophetic teachings. That is what is meant when we proclaim that we believe in Muhammad (saw) as a Prophet, and not just a nice historical figure.
@@Memorize-Quran-With-Me😂 your reasoning can be used to refute Islam itself, stop this literalism. Allah doesn’t say anything about music, and the Hadith can be forged, even the verification process might be mistaken due to human errors. Our Prophet PBUH has said that what is haram is made clear and what is halal is made clear, everything in between is doubtful. The evidence cited doesn’t make it unambiguous when it comes to music
His answer was so vague that an uninformed Muslim might interpret it however they wish. Music is HARAM. Listening to music can make it difficult to recite the Quran properly or find concentration and humility in salah. Ibn Taymiyyah said, "Music is one of the greatest means by which the Shaytaan deceives and misleads the people, turning them away from the path of Allah and from His worship."
Jazak Allah kheer ! When myself did listened to music it affected me emotionally and moreower my life became more hard and I started to suffer with illness, broken heart,etc problem ! My life became more peaceful after I left music but when I am listening to the beatiful song to our Prohet Mohammad sas I feel so happy and it bringa blessings from the praise of him saa !!
You are no different to the Jews who took man-made books over God's commandments. If it is indeed one of the devil's greatest tools, maybe God would be so kind as to warn us in the Quran???
@Allblaster you are a hadith rejector. Quran and hadith both warn us against it. Surah An-Najm (53:59-61): "Do you then wonder at this statement? And you laugh and do not weep while you are engaged in vanities (idle amusements)?" The phrase "engaged in vanities" (Arabic: wa antum saamidoon) is interpreted by scholars to refer to distractions or amusements that divert one from the remembrance of Allah, which can include music and or entertainment. Surah Luqman (31:6): "And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur'an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment." The phrase "idle talks" (Arabic: lahw al-hadith) is interpreted by some to include music and other forms of entertainment that can distract people from the remembrance of Allah.

I wonder what version of Islaam Shabir Ally preaches.. but one thing for sure, his version compromises everything orthodox, pure and pristine islam abhors, condemns and holds sacrilegious. Definitely not worth listening to!
We should be careful not to assume Surah Luqman's verse about vain talk is only about music. True understanding comes from seeking the deeper meaning, not just applying it to one specific thing. Whether music is harmful or not depends on how it's used and its effect on us. It's possible for something to be used for good, or for bad - the intention matters. Regarding instruments, we know the Prophet, peace be upon him, allowed the Duff. There are also accounts that he himself listened to certain forms of music or chanting on specific occasions. This suggests that the issue isn't necessarily with the sounds themselves, but with their purpose and impact. But just because other instruments aren't mentioned doesn't automatically mean they are forbidden. The core principle is to avoid things that lead us away from remembering God and doing good. We should focus on whether our actions, with or without instruments, help us on the path of righteousness. The absence of a specific rule doesn't equal a prohibition. We must use wisdom and knowledge to guide our choices, understanding that the context and intent of our actions are paramount.

Until now, I believe that music basically isn't haram. But I also believe that the music industry we have today is very close to haram things, make us very close to haram things, hence the (non haram) music will be haram too.
Music is not allowed if it contains unsuccessful or attacking lyrics. However, if it is music that we enjoy for running, cooking, chilling (i.e. don't put anything over it) then it is allowed
Music is haram cause it connects you to haram things akhee tbh most musics are for haram love and who the hell can disagree ehat musicians do taking drugs and doja cat lil nas this people always promote satanism soo this is actually haram . That's it now just think about musicians like zayn malik and dua lipa look their life you will get connected to this worldly life very badly so what has been prohibited act upon it and quran says that the one who takes this life as. Amusement play will be a loser soo plz brother have some conscious mind and don't do this things which are no beneficial jazakallah khair ❤️
Music is not haram because in order for a thing to be haram there has to be a explanation in the Qur'an and a punishment for doing it and music has nothing bad at all I'm Muslim but I still listen to music because it's something that doesn't deserve to be haram

Imagining what our prophet had said when, in fact, he never did and attributing the lies to him is itself a concocted lie. There are enough lies in Hadith that we should reject it or take it as simply a historical context that can not be used to prohibit or permit anything. Take the word of Allah, the Quran, as an absolute authority and believe in it. There LET THE QURAN SPEAK.

The Quran distributed by CAIR, Muhammad Asad's "The Message of the Quran," should be avoided by serious inquirers. It is a 20th century Westernized translation that manipulates the naive by changing the wording of unflattering verse and offering mitigating commentary to convince readers that they are not seeing what they are really seeing. I recommend the Noble Quran, a translation by Islamic scholars, but one that is generally faithful to the Arabic.

Muslims legalized alcohol by drinking watered down beer. Interest is now called not profit. Everyone has a girlfriend so it's okay. Yes we only seek pleasure in Haram. There's nothing pleasurable in halal means, right?If you crave music that much then you have problems in your heart. I've been there so I know what it's like. Don't fall for your nafs.
Actually, it's not rocket science: music with lyrics that includes curses, nudes, and other shameful parts ar prohibited because it hurts other people. But a piano, cello, violin, etc doesn't do that. These sound great to th ear, and give tranquility.

There are no two views on this matter. So we must advise in the best manner, and then take it step by step and denounce music, if we are able to do so. We should not be deceived by the fame of a man in our own times in which the people who are truly committed to Islam have become strangers. The one who says that singing and musical instruments are permitted is simply supporting the whims of people nowadays, as if the masses were issuing fatwas and he is simply signing them!

Dr. Shabir Ally is one of the few people who explain things before giving a conclusion, while the rest always jump to a conclusion and say everything is HARAM!
Yes, they act insecure because they are lacking something, and their desire for control stems from their own issues. You can't just claim, "Oh, it's because our prophet said so." If it were as serious as you're making it out to be, like zina (adultery), which is clearly and explicitly condemned by Allah, then it would be plainly stated as a major sin in every religious text. But it's not mentioned like that anywhere, so take a step back and focus on improving yourself. Find purpose in life, and work on your own growth instead of putting others down and ruining their legitimate enjoyment.
Dr. Shabbir is the right choice for all those look for loopholes to commit Haraam.

Dr. Shabbir Ali, please give any example of using those instruments by Prophet, Khulafah e Rashid and Tabaeen except Duff ?
Now come to logic harmful or beneficial. Music and some musical instruments definitely gave very strong impact on mental conditions, and very effectively can deter human consciousness, determination. I am trained ( partial) musician, vocal and instrument, and I have very good experience how dangerous music can be to distract from positive active to either passive or towards negative activities in life.
It is similar to drinking Alcohol, as it is mentioned in Quran, Alcohol has more negative effects than positive benefits.

Is it the song, the tune, the sound, the instrument or is it the combination? they are all natural and around us. our own natural speech has music, the very keyboard am typing right now produces sound.

Music doesn’t only hardened the heart, sow seeds of hypocrisy in it, but also makes a person vulnerable to the temptations of shaitan. And not only that, but a keen listener of music, is an easy target of black magic, sihr, evil eye, jinn possession and every form of evil.

Make sure to follow the Quran and Sunnah first, before deviant people like him.
Alot of the modern push to ban Music in Islam comes from people who listened to some pop and rap when they were younger, realizing that alot of it trashy and unserious, and deciding that is sucks. This has broadly been my experience with this issue. But alot of music, a majority of it, is clean and not riddled with vice and haram. Pretty much anything outside of the two genres a mentioned, like Jazz, Classical, Metal, and electronic is clean, especially when there aren't lyrics. Taking this into account makes the main hadith on this make more sense. Tying music to or hiding haram inside of it is the real problem. Not music itself.
The majority of music has lyrics that focus on dunya or negative things (like heartbreak, romance stories that lead to zina, depression, hate, immorality, glorifying war, fame, power, etc.) no matter the genre. It is only a minority of songs which have innocent or positive lyrics. This is a reality you need to accept. Even when it comes to instrumental music, a lot of it can affect our brain in negative ways, too. And there are many studies that corroborate this. So even if we don't say that music is Haram, it is totally obvious that the vast majority of it is a bad influence, and anyone who really knows about music and is sincere will have to admit it.
Muslim Scholars all over the world have explained everything in detail as why it's prohibited. What led it into prohibition. What are its benefits and what are its demerits. Only problem is that people don't take the effort to look into its deep rooted meanings. People are looking for loopholes how best they can legalise forbidden things. How best they can take interest (usuary) and so on. And people like Shabbir Ali can raise funds in the form of donation by legalising forbidden things.
The more I watch Dr Shabir Ally, the more I like him, he is speaking truth more and more I watch him. He is preferring to trust Allah's word over weak hadith.
because it suits to your desires, bukhari = weak hadith ?! 💀May Allah increase us with knowledge and keep us from our passions
It is shocking how you say that Saheeh Al Bukhari contains weak Hadiths, while every single one of them is sahih (sound/authentic). Imam As-Suyooti رحمه الله actually said that whoever rejects a report of the Prophet ﷺ which fulfills the conditions of Usool al-Hadith, has committed an act of disbelief which puts him out of the fold of Islam.
@wassfoot95 It seems like you are more fond of hadiths than the quran,kindly be fond more of the quran, the sahih al bukhari was complied around 200 years after the death of our Prophet (PBUH) so it's totally impossible for the book Sahih Al bukhari to be totally authentic,there will be some small errors which can make hadiths weak.There is no book that will equally hold the same status and authenticity of the quran.
@@fresh_mango5156 there are Hadiths reported just 30 years after the Prophet ﷺ death. Imam Bukhari just collected the Hadiths, but they were already memorized way before his birth. Also Allah promised to preserve both the Quran and Hadiths. There simply cannot be faults in Saheeh Al Bukhari and scholars have agreed on this for hundreds of years.
@@wassfoot95 you are following your passions. There is nothing in the Quran that prohibits music.
May Allah guide us to the right path and forgive what we have done wrong
Islam is more nuanced and balanced . This perspective by the sheikh perfectly sums that up. The fact that the Quran itself never explicitly states it as something immoral or haram or that the prophet Muhammad(pbuh) never explicitly said anything in its condemnation says a lot. The harshest criticisms come from the sahaba. My question is, in a community where they clearly played music , why didn’t the messenger of Allah say anything outright ? Even when it was played in front of him or share any ayat from Allah outlawing this specific issue ? We are left only with mere interpretations and understanding that it’s haram based on a specific point of view . Blanket interpretation about something is what a lot of people have an issue with .
"From among my followers there will be some people who will consider ... the use of musical instruments [المعازف" (al-ma'azif)], as lawful..." bukhari:5590
If it was Haram It would be clearly mentioned in the Quran , like eating pork and another prohibition
Another fabricated hadith. Fake news.
Imam Abu Hanifa said it was haram. If he heard music while doing his business, he needed to finish quickly and leave.
Dr. Shabir Ali believes he knows better than the greatest companions of our beloved prophet (saw).
Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas, Jabir, ‘Ikrimah, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, Mujahid, Makhul and Hasan Al Basri (rahimahumullah) were all of the view that ‘futile discourse’ refers to music/ musical instruments.
‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) took an oath and swore by Allah three times that this verse is referring to music.
How misguided and arrogant are we to think we know better than they did as to what was meant by the revelation!
Glad to hear that someone is speaking this out. Dr. Shabir is not the fully authentic source rather I believe more on what was established by imam Abu Hanifa.
This video is misleading.
In Hadeeth thier was a couple or few girls who where singing. As I remember a companion discouraged this, and the Prohet said let them sing, this is their way to celebrate.
So not music!
@@zakisal9399 I think most of the music today would be forbidden. Content and loudness has a lot to do with it. Heavy Metal being one of the worst, devil music.
Let’s be honest, if the music has haram content or leads to haram behavior then avoid.
I use music to work and workout as well as get through mundane tasks.
I don’t see an issue.
Btw I tried stopping music and it just hurt my deen as I burnt out.
I mostly listen to instrumental to focus. Lyrics only if they’re wise or remind me to be good etc

Another thing to add to your point. Music requires talent that is given by Allah subhanahu watala. We should ask ourselves, would Allah give us gifts or talents that we should not use?
100%. any music that's about women, adultry, drugs or something that inclines you towards sins is of course not permissible. otherwise it is okay.
Salam you said that you tried stopping music and it hurts your Deen is all clear sign that it is not good I’m not a scholar of anything and I don’t wanna be a hypocrite, but that’s already a clear sign that it’s not good because you cannot go without it and that’s materialising if I’m correct.

Music is inherent in nature. If rythmic music is played, an infant or toddler will start to move and enjoy. If used in goodway, it can help relieve anxiety and depression. Fundamental quantum particles vibrate and dance, so how can music be forbidden. Mullahs misinterpret teachings of Quran and sunnah.
Bukhari 5590 and also music was invented later on by humans, not inherent in nature. And quantum particles vibrate to any sound, they just "dance" cuz music is played in rhythms

Brother may Allah bless you.. our scholars have always enforced us by their self proclaimed Opinions. And you should know opinions can be wrong. So don't care much about their opinions
It’s haram shaytan makes music it’s haram definitely so don’t listen it clear evidence in the Hadiths there are 18 of them
@haze0706 yeah man shaytan makes music.. 😂😂😂😂you lake brain cell. Eat protein 😂 no doubt people like you are the reasons why the World had to see i$i$.
A well balanced insight on the difficult topic sir.
Music is not Haram, these are the evidences from authentic Hadiths.👇
1. Whatever ALLAH leaves without saying Haram are halal by default. General Fiqh rule.
2. HADITHS - Prophet(SA) allowed music with instruments in his own house during Eid - Sahih Bukhari 987, 988, 3931, 949, 952.
3. HADITHS - Prophet(SA) compared the quran recitation of a companion to the musical sound of Mazamir(wind instruments, flute).
- Al Adab Al Mufrad 805, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1087, Sahih bukhari 5048.
4. HADITHS - Prophet Muhammad(SA) invited singers to a wedding function to sing - Sunan Ibn Mājah 1900.
5. That "Bukhari hadis 5590 which says musical instruments are haram in an indirect way" is a hanged hadis or an un-numbered hadis in bukhari text. Because the reporter lacks the connection to the Prophet(sa).
6. A Slave Girl invited Prophet(SA) to listen to her song playing tambourine - Tirmidhi 3690
7. Only ALLAH has the authority to declare Haram. Scholars do not have that authority. Inorder to consider anything as Haram it requires solid authentic evidences.
Do not falsely declare with your tongues, “This is lawful, and that is unlawful,” ˹only˺ fabricating lies against Allah. Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed. Quran 16:116
It’s a really simple topic with no ambiguity and has conclusive evidence. It is haram, simple as that. There’s a plenty of evidence.

Ok… so provide them and quote them.
Just because Madhabs are known to “unanimously rule” music as haram does not mean this rules paints the full picture - Madhabs are schools of thoughts not unanimous thought - if your logic was correct then the most populated Muslim country’s such as Indonesia’s Ulama council should ban music - or maybe the most knowledgeable Muhaddith in North America (potentially the world) should say music is haram (He/Imam Al Ninowy from Madina Institute does not…), or maybe reknowned scholar Al Qaradawi who ruled and was respected in Islamic jurispudence / Fiqh also should’ve said it was haram (he did not)…
Or maybe we should realize that when speakers such as Hamza Yusuf, Mufti Menk, or Dr Yasir Qadhi discuss music they say to simply avoid it and always state that there’s a difference of opinion / debate BEFORE giving their personal opinion …🤔… almost as if being careful to call something haram like TikTok does instantly

And Music doesn't have to be Beneficial and I know a lot of music even though I'm Muslim I can tell you that there is proof that Music is not haram
This is the most clearest argument I have heard regarding heavy music
Thank you so much. I’m a violin teacher. I work with little kids and we play classical music. I don’t do it for entertainment but I do love my job. I don’t perform, I don’t play for anyone and only use my violin skills in teaching. I never felt like I’m doing anything haram cause I don’t feel negative effects but people constantly telling me I should ditch my job (which is so hard cause the time, energy, pain, tears,frustration and money spent on me finishing my academy, music school that lasted 20 years, my parents sweat and tears.. not to mention it’s a job that allows me to not mix with men AND have time for every salah) when there is no clear evidence that what I’m doing is a pathway to hell. I went through classical music education before I even knew people considered music haram so I didn’t even really have a choice back then. And now it feels like throwing away so much when I can’t find clear indication that I should.
Music is forbidden because it is transformative. Sitting here listening to Natalie Merchant I cannot imagine living life without hearing that voice, I am transformed. It is immoral to keep people from the beauty of music. Would you prevent the birds from singing? I can certainly see how some music is harmful though, like Marilyn Manson.
As long as the lyrics doesn't go against Quran, i think it's fine. Islam is beautiful. It gives you freedom in life.
And as long as it doesn’t promote girlfriend boyfriend culture and drugs that almost every music involves nowadays. So it’s better not to listen music. And instead listen to Quran.

Just listen to nasheeds. Or instrumental piano or something. Omar esa is good
Its like you put forward a question is food haram or halal
During the prophet
عليه الصلاة و السلام
They welcomed him in Madina with music 🎵 back then many musical 🎤 instruments 🥁 were never invented
I noticed some Muslim TH-camrs who say music is haram (except voices and somer percusive sounds) also suggest video games, like Super Mario Bros, are fine and they play them. They also mention some movies. But those games and movies have music.
that is probably mostly because there is a difference between asamie and al mustamie(the one who heard intentionally vs. the one who heard unintentionally). When you play video games it isn't to listen to music but also you do have the option to turn of ost as well as mute the whole game.
That was brave of him to address and be sincere about.. most conversations on the subject matter aren't sincere and are disingenuous at best..
"This scholar, who follows that scholar.. who heard from this imam, that half learned from another imam.. that went to school this other scholar.. and they said they all agree".. about opinions based on misinterpretation ..

"Do you then wonder at this statement? And you laugh and do not weep while you are engaged in vanities (idle amusements)?"
The phrase "engaged in vanities" (Arabic: wa antum saamidoon) is interpreted by scholars to refer to distractions or amusements that divert one from the remembrance of Allah, which can include music and or entertainment.
Surah Luqman (31:6):
"And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur'an) by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment."
The phrase "idle talks" (Arabic: lahw al-hadith) is interpreted by some to include music and other forms of entertainment that can distract people from the remembrance of Allah.
Do not make your own laws. Music is not Haram in Quran. FULL STOP

You don't have the evidance. How can you proof your argument.
I wonder what version of Islaam Shabir Ally preaches.. but one thing for sure, his version compromises everything orthodox, pure and pristine islam abhors, condemns and holds sacrilegious. Definitely not worth listening to!
We should be careful not to assume Surah Luqman's verse about vain talk is only about music. True understanding comes from seeking the deeper meaning, not just applying it to one specific thing. Whether music is harmful or not depends on how it's used and its effect on us. It's possible for something to be used for good, or for bad - the intention matters.
Regarding instruments, we know the Prophet, peace be upon him, allowed the Duff. There are also accounts that he himself listened to certain forms of music or chanting on specific occasions. This suggests that the issue isn't necessarily with the sounds themselves, but with their purpose and impact. But just because other instruments aren't mentioned doesn't automatically mean they are forbidden. The core principle is to avoid things that lead us away from remembering God and doing good. We should focus on whether our actions, with or without instruments, help us on the path of righteousness. The absence of a specific rule doesn't equal a prohibition. We must use wisdom and knowledge to guide our choices, understanding that the context and intent of our actions are paramount.
Music is everywhere you go it doesn’t take you away from Allah I know it doesn’t take me away I’m also not addicted to music I hear it gets people addicted I’m blessed I’m not addicted
Music is haram we shall stop listening it
@@donzell1945that’s funny how you don’t don’t know music is everywhere you go there are radios on playing in stores gas stations what are you going to do sit at home don’t go anywhere make sense kid
@@donzell1945please tell us how we stop listening to something that’s everywhere are you going to close your ears very tight can’t hear anything you’ll make an accident in the car
@stevestars2966 just don't listen music by yourself at home, outside of your home that's is not your responsibility Allah knows better 🙏
@@donzell1945 use your head you walk into a store the radio is on playing a song
I don't agree.
I wish Bangladeshi Islamic Scholar had such thorough knowledge. Most of the time they are busy in giving extremist regulations abut women. They do not support women education, women empowerment.
Until now, I believe that music basically isn't haram. But I also believe that the music industry we have today is very close to haram things, make us very close to haram things, hence the (non haram) music will be haram too.
Music, drawing pictures, making statue ...
Yes. All completely haram. Taking pictures from mobile too
I am simply grouping them, I don't give fatwa 😇
Drawing pictures of living things that move...you can still draw objects@@Simarodra
Music is not allowed if it contains unsuccessful or attacking lyrics. However, if it is music that we enjoy for running, cooking, chilling (i.e. don't put anything over it) then it is allowed
Music is haram cause it connects you to haram things akhee tbh most musics are for haram love and who the hell can disagree ehat musicians do taking drugs and doja cat lil nas this people always promote satanism soo this is actually haram . That's it now just think about musicians like zayn malik and dua lipa look their life you will get connected to this worldly life very badly so what has been prohibited act upon it and quran says that the one who takes this life as. Amusement play will be a loser soo plz brother have some conscious mind and don't do this things which are no beneficial jazakallah khair ❤️
Music is not haram because in order for a thing to be haram there has to be a explanation in the Qur'an and a punishment for doing it and music has nothing bad at all I'm Muslim but I still listen to music because it's something that doesn't deserve to be haram
There is nothing in music that makes it haram
They use woman's wearing short clothes u know they make people to fall in haram relationship.
And also when you listen music u can't focus on the prayer Islamic rulings will not look good according to you you will become more and more curious instead of calm @BritishCableTV
Thanks , this is such a comprehensive explanation.
Imagining what our prophet had said when, in fact, he never did and attributing the lies to him is itself a concocted lie. There are enough lies in Hadith that we should reject it or take it as simply a historical context that can not be used to prohibit or permit anything. Take the word of Allah, the Quran, as an absolute authority and believe in it. There LET THE QURAN SPEAK.
The Quran distributed by CAIR, Muhammad Asad's "The Message of the Quran," should be avoided by serious inquirers. It is a 20th century Westernized translation that manipulates the naive by changing the wording of unflattering verse and offering mitigating commentary to convince readers that they are not seeing what they are really seeing. I recommend the Noble Quran, a translation by Islamic scholars, but one that is generally faithful to the Arabic.
I would recommend to get the Quran translation done by Javed Ghamid, its unbiased and to the point translation.
Can you share the sources for these evidences please?
Allah save us from salafism
That’s literally asking Allah to save you from treading the right path, which is ironically nonsensical.
You think being more traditional is the correct islam? People have been studying and researching on topics like music and have came to the conclusion that its not bad for you which makes islam seem like a primitive religion. So now we know who's a lier @@SM_C24
Salafi today is nothing near the salaf ,they lied in nabi saw name forging hadith in sahabah ra name@SM_C24
You are asking Allah to save you from following the book of Allah, the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu’alayhi’wassallam), with the understanding of the companions and the salaf as-saalih [which are the companions, the taabi’een and the taabi’u’ taabi’een (the taabi’een and taabi’u’ taabi’een who were upon goodness)]?
Is that what you are asking Allah to save you from?
@@EH7yearsago no, I am asking Allah to save us from Salafis
i think certain tones, frequencies, and lyrics - especially nonsense repetitive ones, are what should be considered haram. Think of the studies that have proven certain frequencies can even cause death and cellular rupture. But when we have also proven certain frequencies and sounds heal disease and physical wounds faster, we should not ignore Gods blessing.

31:6 But among people, there are those who invest their time in Hadith which is unfounded, so as to lead those without knowledge away from the path of God, making mockery of it (the Qur’an). For such there is a humiliating punishment in store. (Dr. Sahbbir MD)
Muslims legalized alcohol by drinking watered down beer. Interest is now called not profit. Everyone has a girlfriend so it's okay. Yes we only seek pleasure in Haram. There's nothing pleasurable in halal means, right?If you crave music that much then you have problems in your heart. I've been there so I know what it's like. Don't fall for your nafs.
watered down beer? hahahaks cheapskate
Actually, it's not rocket science: music with lyrics that includes curses, nudes, and other shameful parts ar prohibited because it hurts other people. But a piano, cello, violin, etc doesn't do that. These sound great to th ear, and give tranquility.
In simple words
Music is haram when Islam is powerful.
Music is halal when Islam is weak.
А как же слова сподвижника ибн Масуда «музыка харам» который он произнес трижды. А как же то что первые 7 веков все ученые были на том что музыка харам. И в конце концов как же хадис в котом пророк сказал что, «Некоторые люди в моей умме сделают для себя прелюбодеяние, алкоголь, шелк, и музыкальные инструменты халал. ?!?!?
STOP BLUFFING US. MUSIC IS ABSOLUTELY HARAAM EXCEPT TAMBOURINE.
There are no two views on this matter. So we must advise in the best manner, and then take it step by step and denounce music, if we are able to do so. We should not be deceived by the fame of a man in our own times in which the people who are truly committed to Islam have become strangers. The one who says that singing and musical instruments are permitted is simply supporting the whims of people nowadays, as if the masses were issuing fatwas and he is simply signing them!
Music Is Haram
It difinitelly is!
