Islam adopts a firm stance against any form of evil teachings and desires of corrupt people in order to protect mankind from his own caprice and to put an end to his anxieties and sorrows. Who is richer than he who adheres to the religion of Allah, though he is economically underprivileged, and who is poorer than he who opposes the religion of Allah though he is financially prosperous.

People seek happiness through means other than Islam, treat their disease with poison instead of medicine and delude themselves into believing that satiating their desires will cure them of their ailments. An example of this is the obsession of many people today with music and musical instruments; they justify this habit of theirs with baseless arguments and excuses.

It is a the trap of shaitan by which he lures people to immoral acts. Umar ibn Abdul-Aziz wrote to his sons teacher: “Let your first lesson for them be the hatred of musical instruments that comes from shaitan and ends with the wrath of Allah.

Indeed the essence of music, its causes, goals and effects all revolve around the songs of corrupt and immoral people, for music contains commendation of what Allah detests and boasts about what he dislikes.

Music is a satanic voice that deeply penetrates the human heart and stimulates in it destructive desires, wreaks havoc on mans body and soul and fills his ears with obscenities.

If people consider the havoc that songs and instruments have wreaked on the lives of those musicians they will realize what a terrible impact it has. It leaves clear visible effects on their faces, their speech and their conditions.
