[quote]Were you consulted when any verse of the Qur'an was being translated? What is with you people that you take part of the book and leave the rest?
The reply begins with the ayah that expresses the forbidance of music.

Al-hamdulillah this deen is not left to "YOUR" understatnding. May Allah guide you and those who follow you! Ameen
[quote]I would love to see if those who claim that music is haram could give me one explicit verse from the Holy Qur’an where this is stated. What I’m looking for is an unequivocal statement from the Qur’an and not a verse which is interpreted so. The best people seem to come up with is Surah 31:6 and I think that this is misunderstood. We should read it in its context. It reads:

[blue]“And there is among men such a one also, who buys alluring tales so that he may lead the people astray from Allah’s way without any knowledge, and make a mockery of the invitation to it. For such people there is a disgraceful torment. When Our revelations are recited to him, he turns his face away disdainfully as though he did not hear them, as though his ears were deaf. Well, give him the good news of a painful torment. However, for those who believe and do good works, there are blissful Gardens wherein they shall live forever. This is a true promise of Allah: He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.”[/blue] [hl]Surah 31:6-9[/hl]

Maulana Mawdudi explains in his commentary of the Holy Qur’an:

[green]”…According to the traditions, when the Quraish, in spite of their best efforts, failed to stop the influence of the Holy Prophet’s message from spreading, they managed to get legends about Rustam and Isfandyar from Iran and arranged singing girls to entertain the people so as to distract them from listening to him”[/green]

When we look at the verse in its full context it should be abundantly clear that the Qur’an is referring to people purchasing idle tales with the intention of misleading people thereby and removing their attention of the Message that the Messenger was presenting to them. The explanation from Mawdudi also explains this. I therefore see nothing whatsoever wrong with listening to music as long as its contends are not bad (e.g. bad language etc).

Peace to all.[/quote]

May Allaah have mercy upon you! Examine carefully the speech of everyone you hear from in your time particularly. So do not act in haste and do not enter into anything from it until you ask and see: Did any of the [hl]Companions of the Prophet (saws) speak about it or any of the [/hl] [hl]scholars?[/hl] So if you find a narration from them about it, cling to it, do not go beyond it for anything[1] and do not give precedence to anything over it and thus fall into the Fire.

I don't see your name in this statement so it will be your understanding that I and we all should not take from.[/quote]
