Does The Quran Forbid Music?


Music, dance and song are not forbidden (Haram) in Islaam. These are expressions of the soul. The first form of music was undoubtedly singing. The Angels of Allah, have always sang their gratitude to the Creator.

Qur'anic chanters also sing and anyone who has heard the adhan (call to prayer) knows it is sweet music to your ears. There are Sufi Dhikr circles held all over the world which chant and often dance vigorously until the moods are heightened in worship of Allah. Muslims know music is not Haram (Unlawful) or Allah would not have you praise him in this manner.

By Imam Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi


The Sincere Muslim who is following the Qur'an will not find in the Qur'an ANY PROHIBITION whatsoever OF MUSIC OR SINGING. God is very specific and his commands are very clear regarding any prohibition given in the Quran. They instead place more emphasis on the man made laws and books of HADITH and SUNNAH that contradict the Quran. These HADITH and SUNNAH were written over 200 years after the death of the prophet Muhammed. The prophet Muhammed himself followed and preached ONLY the Quran. So if Music, Singing, and Dance are forbidden in Islaam, show me in the Quran!!!!
