As muslims, and also as critiques of Islam, please go back to its sources, The Quran and Hadiths. Again, I reiterate, is that what some muslims practise may not be what is reflected in those sources.
Is there anything in the Quran about music?
bang, don't say this a fake hadith. Taliban are very strict in practicing the faith, they won't buy in anything that is un-authentic islamic value.
Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “
The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur’an.)
Muhammad also said:
(1) “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and
commanded me to do away with musical instruments
, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”
(2) “
On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.” (Oh fake merciful Allah)
(3) “
Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”
(4) “This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”
(5) “There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ….” —
