Smoking is better than;

Killing someone innocent
Raping
Suicde Attacks

So does it proves that SMOKING has MANY benefits ?

“But I asked you for the benefits, not about the stuffs which are NOT BETTER than MUSIC”

“Music is million times better than “

But I asked you for the benefits, not about the stuffs which are better than MUSIC.

Indulging in street protest and burn MNC property
Make everyones life misreble in mohalla by loudspeakers in Mosque

This is for the one who asked to mention JUST ONE benefit of music….

When a person commits a sin (may Allah save us all) believing that a sin is being committed and feels regret and remorse in the heart, then this is far better then committing the sin and believing it to be halal. In the former situation, only one sin is being committed, and it is very likely that the individual may repent out of the remorse felt in the heart. In the latter case, however, in addition to the sin being committed, there is the greater sin of trying to justify it. Normally, such an individual does not receive the guidance to repent from his sin. (May Allah save us all, Ameen)

Allah Most High says: And there are among men, those that purchase idle tales, to mislead (men) from the path of Allah and throw ridicule. For such there will be a humiliating punishment (Surah Luqman, V. 6). This verse was revealed in relation to singing and musical instruments (Tafsir ibn Kathir, 3/442)

Abd Allah Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: Verily Allah has forbidden alcohol, gambling, drum and guitar, and every intoxicant is haram (Musnad Ahmad & Sunan Abu Dawud).

Sayyiduna Abu Malik al-Ashari (Allah be pleased with him) reports that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: There will appear people in my Ummah, who will hold adultery, silk, alcohol and musical instruments to be lawful (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Abd Allah ibn Masud (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage (Sunan al-Bayhaqi).

One of the harms of music is that it distracts one from his Creator. It serves as a temporary means of pleasure which makes one forget who he really is and why he was created. He forgets the noble purpose.

One of the main causes for the decline of the Muslims is their involvement in useless entertainment. Today we see that Muslims are involved, and at the forefront perhaps, of many immoralities and evils. The spiritual power which once was the trait of a Muslim is nowhere to be seen. One of the main reasons for this is music and useless entertainment.

To begin with these young girls were singing without any musical instruments and secondly, the content of the song was regarding war, thus perfectly lawful. Also, they were not professional singers as the words of the Hadith clearly indicate.

Some try to justify music with the Hadith in which the permissibility of playing the tambourine (daf) is mentioned. However, as stated in the works of the Fuqaha, to play the tambourine is permissible only at weddings, as it is not designed for sole entertainment and pleasure but for announcement

The other day I was watching an interview of Junaid Jamshed and his following words are very logical :

“Chalain agar maan bhi lain k music haram nahin, aur ahadees jo kay music k khilaaf hain authentic nahin. Aur agar yeh ahadees authentic hueen tau kia ap yeh RISK lay sektay ahin music sunaain ka. ATleast mein tau nahin laysekta kiyun kay MUSIC na sunain mein tau koi NUKSAAN nahin, magar MUSIC sunain mein zarur nuksaan hosekta hai” (AUR JO KAY AHI)

Zikr is food for soul. It is only the zikr of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala that heals, that cures, that makes a depressed person happy. Ayah in the Quran ” a’la bizikrillahi tatmainnul Qulub “.
