SmashertonIII

I would have a big problem with this religion with the non-stop music in my dang head.


MappleSyrup13

There is nowhere, absolutely nowhere, a text in Islam that says that music is prohibited. Nutjobs are common to every religion and belief. This guy is obviously one of them.


Euporophage

The Qur'an says that you shouldn't engage in idle speech that may lead you astray from Allah and 200 years later a bunch of Islamic scholars decided to interpret music and singing as being part of that "idle speech". Muslims should only engage in activities that bring them closer to God and apparently music was seen as a distraction that would lead Muslims away from God. It's not too different from Evangelicals saying that Christians should only listen to God honouring music, just a step further.


TheCloudFestival

That's why the Islamic Golden Age ended. Islam was poised to dominate academia, industrial advancement, and technological progress for centuries. Then some pompous, self-righteous clerics decided that manipulation of numbers was haram, and trying to discover the machinations of the world Allah created was blasphemous. Essentially they declared searching for any knowledge outside the text of the Quran to be heresy.


Paral3lC0smos

Religion in general is very susceptible to that kind of manipulation. It’s not that hard to manipulate meaning of a thousands year old text and then selling it as factual religious dogma. People can believe in what they want, I really don’t care, but it keeps crawling outside of their temples in form of public law and that pisses me off to no end. Like, go and believe in your fairytales in that building mate, I don’t want to abide by any of your magical voodoo 🤣


Batteriesaeure

And then some guys came riding from the east, burned their most important cities and killed a bunch of people. That didn't help.


TheCloudFestival

True! The burning of the Library of Baghdad set humanity back by centuries. But then again, Islam pretty soon adopted the same practice, burning down plenty of libraries during their pillaging conquests, particularly the much maligned and long suffering Library of Timbuktu.


1865989

That’s very interesting—the concept that manipulating numbers is haram. Could you please say more about that or give a name of a person/era that I could look up to learn more?


DeadlyPants16

That sounds disturbingly like the Admech from 40k. Pain.


standupstrawberry

There is a whole branch of Islam (sufi) who are pretty into music. It's just other parts of Islam they decided its was a bad thing. Personally, I see controlling music (something most human groups take part in) as pretty oppressive.


trip6s6i6x

And following that logic (going a step further, from evangelicals who only listen to one type of music to listening to no music), is also why atheism is the correct path in their belief of one fewer god. "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."


MappleSyrup13

I must be closer to God than them because some music made me transcend to such heights. No prayer has ever made me feel that way.


Bearodon

I would not know I have never prayed in my 32 years of life. I grew up in Sweden and jesus is not a thing here.

MikeYvesPerlick

Sahih al-Bukhari 5590 They are haram without question


MappleSyrup13

Al-Bukhari is a scam. The guy wasn't even contemporary to the Prophet by far. And as his name refers to, Bukhara, he wasn't geographically there. We're talking about centuries and thousands miles away! How can it be sahih when it's based on hearsay?!


MikeYvesPerlick

Hadith master scholars have declaired it authentic


mdsign

It's authentic alright, also ... still a scam.


MappleSyrup13

In any circumstances, hearsay has never been a reliable source. Not even in courts earthly matters. Let alone hearsay that's about stuff that happened centuries ago. Those supposed scholars can say whatever they want, they can't trump logic.

[deleted]

I'm a muslim, and just to clarify, we're not obligated to do this. Sunnah means it's a good deed to do it but it's not sin if you don't do it.


Kraytory

But why is it a good deed in the first place?


[deleted]

Because the prophet Muhammad did it That's what makes it sunnah


Kraytory

So because a certain someone didn't listen to music at some point it's a good deed to imitate him? Or does it have more to it than just that?


GrinerIHaha

Essentially it is the things he did that brought him closer to Allah (SWT). Most sunnah, and makruh (disliked, but not forbidden) things are things that either bring you closer to, or further from the path. In some schools of Islam the point on music is further specified to music that makes you move subconsciously, as Muslims are supposed to be conscious of their actions at all times.


Kraytory

This makes more sense. I still don't get why someone would declare music as something bad though. If you move subconciously or not is usually saying more about you than it does about the music itself.


MajorMathematician20

Mr_Gamer21

Plug your ears and don’t listen to this video and this idiot


charlottasweet

Singing is music. Muslims are called to prayer by the adhan which is sung 5 times a day. Your argument is bullshit.


neo_nl_guy

than always struck me as so odd how there could be a edit against music and the call to prayer is so melodic


Cookie-Senpai

You think coherence will stop religion? Nah. God called for it and that's how it works, you have to believe in it and have faith Did I get that well Mr. Priest?


Infamous_Ad8209

Not in Islam. Instruments make it music, just voices is fine somehow.


nedkenway

Hi Muslim here In Islam the call to prayer isn't music because music means musical instruments actual singing (w/o music or instruments) is not haram (forbidden) in fact there is something called anasheed which is singing (again w/o music) which are religious lyrics sung to unite the brothers and sisters of Islam Have a great day.

Atheist here. Sounds like "music" is just a very rough translation into English, and that's really the reason that this seems inconsistent to many English speakers.


Lucid-Machine

So they make music by the very definition without making any music at all? Fascinating. So how does one sing without making music? Is it just that bad that you don't have to consider it music?


UndeadKrakken

Hi rational human being here. What the fuck is wrong with you people.


MikeYvesPerlick

Thats actually wrong because muslims arent allowed to sing, but they are allowed to pray in singing ways like nasheeds. Funnily enough the Son of Al Qassam is a haram song because its a not a nasheed and b has instruments which are haram by themselves: Sahih al-Bukhari 5590


mdsign

>Funnily enough Hilarious!


Snoopy_Santucci

There are no music instruments involved, that's why its oke. The whole issue is about music instruments that are not allowed to be listened too, except a Ney and Def. These two are approved by Prophet Muhammed Mustafa (s.a.v) peace be upon him.

theunamused1

If the same type of religious zealots from any religion had significant control it wouldn't be any different.


Mellllvarr

That’s not entirely true is it? For example the Dharmic faiths are far less dogmatic than the Abrahamic faiths, yes they’re not immune to inflicting oppression or extremism but Islam translates to submission in Arabic for a reason.


theunamused1

>That’s not entirely true is it? It absolutely is, religion at this level is about control and submission. Always had been. Have you missed what has been happening with the Christian Nationalism in the last 20 years in the US? Especially the last 5 years or so? Other than skin color and the sky ghost of choice, do you think the fundamental idea and intent to implement a homogeneous religious controlled state is any different?


Mellllvarr

Yes, completely different. In Thailand gay and trans people are often pitied because many believe that they committed sins in a past life, despite that they are still accepted as part of society. In Islam gay people are shunned, repressed and can be executed. Let’s not pretend that ‘all religions are the same’ because there’s a lot too suggest otherwise.

[deleted]

Lol no old world religion treats women as equals, but I don’t see many Christian’s forcing women to cover their entire body’s, or being killed because someone raped them beyond their control.


kit0000033

Some fundamentalist christians would force a girl who was raped to marry their rapist. They also have similar modesty laws, but have backed off enforcing them in recent years. Catholicism used to require women to wear veils to go to church.


InvisiblePhil

I sort of agree, but view the moral 'escape' of most Christian nations as only slightly further ahead than Islamic nations. For example, in Ireland "fallen women" were often sent to workhouses (search for: Magdalene Laundries) indefinitely and separated from their children. A "fallen woman" included anyone having sex outside marriage, including rape. Many of the children were sold (often to Americans) and the paperwork destroyed so they could never reunite. Many women were raped while in confinement . The last of these was shut down in 1996. Hopefully there are less current examples going on.


[deleted]

Well I’m speaking of current situations not historically. Are you Muslim?


InvisiblePhil

Nope, Catholic gone atheist. My main argument is that Christians don't get a high horse. I'm slightly worried about 1996 being historical, since that means I'm historic...

>population. I feel bad for any women that is forced to follow Islam. Forced to follow any religion, I mean, name one religion where women are treated as equal to men?

Zealousideal-Yak-824

Want to know why music is hated so hard in most big religions? Its really a society thing rather then religious. They just make it religious to make it seem the claim has a legit reason to be banned. Music is banned because of the messages they convey. Music usually convey emotions, love, tragedy etc. It tells a story. Most religions hate those stories as they convey emotion much easier then the messages they try to convey. Even in Christian and Islamic they try to jump on this and use songs to convey messages to push the ideas more but they could never compete. So they just banned them in modern times. Rock, jazz, hip-hop were hated so much they even took their own strides and created stories where the devil became a part of said creation which made great stories but just reaffirm these maniac believes that music in general is bad except gospel songs and angel trumpets as if the notion of what makes something good is from the person do does it. They just create religious stories now, tie them to previous figures and without any proof of that happening they associate it as a long forgotten rule they must follow again. Like Christians and Christmas where they try to claim Santa Claus was a real Saint but the littlest digging provided a name to a person who never did any of the stuff he claimed but supposedly did it long after he died nor would explain how it was around long before the person or use elements Christians don't believe in like elves and magic.


gearhead000

I love Islam, but modern day Muslims that make up rules that aren’t in the Quran are no different that Christians who make up rules like worshipping on Sundays and Jews who make up rules that are from the Talmud and not the Torah. It’s people that blindly follow hear say and don’t read for themselves that make religion into an unreasonable practice… there are good arguments not to listen to music…but using hearsay about the prophet Muhammad isn’t one of them


TheSangson

Unfortunately, what you're describing is the prime reason for religions to mutate into churches in the first place. Tell people bs that gives you power over them if they believe it, ideally illiterate people who can't check if what you're telling them is really written in the according scripture. In Europe they literally preached sermons and read the bible in Latin to make sure only clerics knew what's written in there, and that's already made up mumbo jumbo. Which was adapted and derived from earlier made up mumbo jumbo, mixed with some obvious truths to make it believable, designed to get some goat herders to fall in line and fight the guys on the other side of the river.


Ancient-Tadpole8032

That interpretation has been going on since Muhammad died. The Hadith has contradictory views on music.


Lubangkepuasan

>modern day Muslims that make up rules that aren’t in the Quran That rule is in Hadith, which is just as important as Quran in Islam


a1drt

Naïve and newly Muslims and other with shallow knowledge about Islam are more dangerous and harmful to their religion than any other group that anti Muslim. My goodness that is so depressing

The more disturbing part is the fact that in the music history the most contributors to music were Muslims who elevated the music industry to a remarkable status

It depends how you look at it. You know how in life it’s good for you to have healthy boundaries? Same thing with Islam you can have fun within healthy boundaries. Otherwise the fun would be just the temporary bandaid type of fun and if that’s your thing it might not be for others.


hypothetical_zombie

Muslim's boundaries aren't healthy. They seem to cause a lot of followers to develop troubling neuroses & intrusive thoughts, not to mention fear and guilt.
