Music

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘I am sent to destroy musical instruments’.

Almighty Allah Taãla says in the Noble Qurãn: 'And there are some people who purchase idle talk. for them is a severe punishment'. Ibn Masóod (Radhiyallaahu Ánhu) says that this verse was revealed regarding singing.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, 'People from my Ummat will drink wine and give it other names and singing girls and musical instruments will be played before them. Allah will cause the earth to swallow them, and disfigure their faces into apes and pigs.'

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) mentioned, 'When singing girls and musical instruments becomes common, wait for red winds, earthquakes, the earth swallowing people, disfiguring and many more punishments.' (Mishkãt 470)
