3.Is there any benefit in music? 4. Are people having so much time that they waste it by continuously listening to music? or is there an hidden agenda behind promoting Music.let us analyse Music according to Islam.
Prohibition of Music
The Holy Prophet (S) has also said,
“The Almighty Allah has sent me as a mercy to the worlds, to guide the people. And He ordered me to eradicate the playing of flute and other instruments of music, all games of vice, idol (worship) and all practices of the days of ignorance.”
(Mustadrak ul-Wasa’il, Chapter 79)
Why Islam prohibited Music?
Islam has prohibited all things which have effects on human both physically and spiritually. when we see Music it has effects on both physical and spiritual growth of man.
EFFECT OF MUSIC ON NERVOUS SYSTEM
Music creates vibrations in the body and these are conveyed to all the parts of the body through the nervous system. As a result of this, indigestion occurs. Music affects the heart in such a way that the heartbeats become irregular. The blood pressure goes awry. All such ailments make a person permanently ill. Consequently, even modern medical science, in spite of its astonishing progress, fails in such a situation. Sometimes, the music is so intense that the listeners lose their sanity. They become dumb and various kinds of mental diseases occur. In places where music is more prevalent, we find that there are more neurotic illnesses. It is for this reason that more mental hospitals are to be found in Europe and America.
In one tradition Imam Jafar Sadiq(a.s) said
“If drums and cymbals are played at one’s house for forty days, Allah will impose a satan by the name of ‘faqandir’. The satans will infiltrate into every cell of the person’s body. With the spread of this evil, the person loses all sense of dignity and self-esteem. He will then not care as to what he says or what is said about him. Then, this satan blows into this person. As a result, he becomes utterly shameless. So mush so that he is not concerned or affected even if his women are dishonoured.” It is usually observed that the people in whose homes music is played with regularity either using musical instruments or by radio or cassettes are absolutely shameless.In one question i asked why music is given so much promotion in this age, the answer is nothing but fulfillment of a portent about last age.
Music and the Last Period of Time
The traditions concerning the signs of the last stage before the Zuhūr of our Imam (a.s.) mention music:
“And you shall see that music will be so prevalent that no one will dissuade others nor will he find in himself the need to do so. And you shall see that music would be openly played even in the two sanctuaries (the city of Makkah and Madinah).”
(Mustanade Naraqi)
This is what we see in the present age where obscene music is openly played in the markets, on the streets, in shops and houses and even cars and no one bothers to prevent it!
Thus Music has only harm to human beings there is no benefits in it.Islam has warned us from one of the biggest deceiver "The Dajjal" and his biggest weapon will be Music.Islam has also given us glad tidings of the coming of Imam Mahdi(a.t.f.s) and from narrations you know that weapon of muslim is his piety,aloofness from sins,truthfulness etc.Now to Muslims around the world who claim that they are highly pious and there is no match of them in Imaan but they also listen to some Music, they should decide within themselves either be a weapon of Islam and leave Music or continue this lifestyle of yours which makes them nothing but followers of Dajjal it is just like working hard to build the house all the day and at night destroy it with our own hands.say no to Music and join hands with the army of Imam al-Mahdi(a.t.f.s).The only answer to this unstoppable instrument of Satan is to follow Allah's religion of Islam, the sayings of Prophet Mohammad(s.a.w.s) and His divine Imam(a.s).
