Muslim against music

[ruhollah]

Hi

I don't know who this bilal is, but I should clarify....

Music like national anthems, relaxing jazz music that you can wind down with, ...etc. is not a big issue.

However, songs like Rihanna's Rude Boy, S&M,...etc. promoting the Hollywood destructive lifestyle should be avoided. Furthermore, music is like a drug and can cause addiction. There are people today who can't spend a week without rap/hip-hop/pop music.

There is saying, "the ear bone connects to the heart"....... this religion aim is to keep the heart pure and positive.

Bilal Philips was once a guitar god. Now he is trying to convince Muslims that God doesn't want them listening to guitars.

"A heart filled with music will not have room for God's words," he writes in his book Contemporary Issues, which also defends child marriages, wife beating, polygamy and killing apostates while calling homosexuality "evil and dangerous."

"For many, music becomes a source of solace and hope instead of God" he says. "When they are down, music brings them up temporarily, like a drug. The Koran, the words of God filled with guidance, should play that role."

"Some of the most corrupt elements of society are found among the musicians. The drugs, the deviations and homosexuality, these type of things and all the corruption that's there, people committing suicide," he says. "The reality is that it in fact does carry an evil, dark side which produces that type of corruption amongst themselves and, in the end, ends up corrupting elements of the society."
