Music and young generation - an Islamic perspective
By: Iftikhar Islam | Monday 9 June 2014 | Passionate Writers |
Nowadays, we see almost all youngsters, including da’ees (obviously females included), are involved in listening music in one or the other way. Music has penetrated in our lives so drastically and we are now in dilemma to recognize whether it is really haram. We are not sure to consider a sin as a sin. The destruction of Muslims start when they no longer consider sins to be sins (and ask what’s wrong in it).
Allah commands the Prophet (peace be upon him) to say “If you love Allah then follow me” and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said “I have come to destroy music”. This statement is enough for a practicing Muslim, especially da’ees, to refrain from listening to music; in fact we should stay away from it. Allah says in the Quran “O you, who believed, enter into Islam wholeheartedly and do not follow the footsteps of Satan, for he is to you an open enemy” (Surah Baqarah (2): 201). These commandments are enough for us to stay away from music and utilize our time in research and development of our dawah work.
