			hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah hill I mean while he was here Jemaine
about
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:21
			today are hot WA is about music. And part of the reason behind that is that during the summer, more
youth will attend the hilltop. And the other part is how much it is in our lives and how much of it
of our time it consumes.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:03:13
			And young and old music has diverted us from the Quran. Some studies indicate that the average
teenagers listens to about 26 hours a week of music. And you wonder how many of our youth spend
about 26 hours a week listening to the Quran? Or even half of that 13 hours a week? Do you imagine
it would be 1% even 1% of our youth listen to 13 hours of Quran per week. And if you ask them
simplest questions about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam or his family, or any of the
companions, they will not know the answer. So it's diverted people even from learning about the
religion. But on the same breath, they will tell you about the listeners that they listened to the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:24
			musicians, the singers, whom they're married to whom they divorced from, what year they put out
their first album, how many albums they have all the details they will have.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:04:11
			And we know that Allah subhanaw taala is going to question us on the Day of Judgement Allah azza wa
jal will ask us about our wealth. Every dollar you earn, he'll ask you where you got it from and
what you spend it on. And your answer has to be a correct answer. In the same way in the Quran,
Allah subhanaw taala says in a summer, well, bizarro world for the cooloola Iike can houmous Allah,
Allah Subhana Allah says, Indeed, the hearing whatever you hear, and the sight and whatever you see,
and the heart, you will be questioned by Allah about all of those. So that means we're going to be
questioned about what we listen to. And then this hope, but we're not trying to give you all the
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:59
			evidence that music is haram. We're trying to let you see just from logical arguments that you're
already aware of this answer. Allah subhanaw taala tells after the shaytaan disobeyed Allah Subhana
Allah tells him his weapons that he can use against humanity. So he tells him where stuffs is
Minnesota at a minimum be Solotica we're asleep. I lay him behind Nikka Rajic where shall we shall
come Phil Anwar, they will alert worried home when I do human shaitana Illa Aurora so Allah subhanaw
taala tells the shape on and be fooled them gradually those whom you can from amongst them from the
human beings with your voice. So what would the voice of the shape on be? Yeah, and are we talking
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			about the Whisper
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			brings, or other what other item could be the voice of the shaytaan and make assaults on them with
your cavalry and your infantry behind Lika logic. So someone might say they don't have riding
animals, and therefore that was figurative. And the first one was figurative, it's not talking about
music, but they do have writing animals as indicated in this verse and in the Hadith, the prophet
Salam spoke about the writing animals. So Allah subhanaw taala is when IBLEES vowed to misguide
humanity, Allah subhanaw taala is tell them telling him Whoever you can, if you can be full of them
with your voice, and with and make assault, attack them with your infantry and with your cavalry. So
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			the voice of the shaytaan here, what would it be?
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:33
			We said, deep down, we all know the answer to this and the scholar of the Ummah, and the manifester
of the Quran, and the companion of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, Abdullah Abdullah Abbas. And
towards the end of his time, he's one of the few living and remaining scholars from amongst the
companions. So a man comes to him to ask him if this singing that they had at their time, which
didn't in queue include bad words and music videos with haram images, and didn't include profanity
didn't include haram content or subject matters. He's asking him about the sin singing of their
time. So he comes to him and he says, yep, now Abbas or Atia Lorena Hello loon Hua haram am haram.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:07:20
			He says singing is it halal or haram? nobis can give him a yes or no answer. But he wants him to
realize he he knows the answer. So he tells him or Adel hubco and bottle either yo Malkia Amma for a
now Kunal Avena he tells him on the day of judgment when Allah brings the truth and he brings
falsehood forward. What side do you think singing will be on? What side do you think music will be
on? And he is music on the Day of Judgment when Allah brings truth and falsehood? Is music going to
be with the Quran and no holiday Salaam and Ibrahim Ali salah? Or do you think will be on this other
side with the bliss and the shayateen and lying and eat and falsehood and profanity? So the young
		
00:07:20 --> 00:08:04
			man of course said the Hakuna mal mal Barton and the Rena the singing will be on the side of
falsehood. So if nobis says to him from either battle help de la bala is the hub of data and F sec.
He tells them what is if it's not the truth, what is it except falsehood? Go you have answered your
question by your own self. We know that Halal things, they have good descriptions and good
attributes. Look at prayer, fasting, reciting the Quran. Look at the kinds of people who gather to
pray and fast or people who gather to recite the Quran, or people who gather because there is a
lecture or an Islamic conference. So you have something good, it gathers and it brings the good
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:42
			people and what do they do good things righteous deeds. Look at music naturally, we're not going to
have a haram just look at music when you people gather around music. You only when people gather
around the Quran, the Imams and the her father and a student of knowledge and the righteous people
of the city come out and they sit and they recite and they engage in obedience of Allah azza wa jal
get loudspeakers get a stage and just play loud music who will gather Yanni the Mufti of the city is
going to come the Imams and the Messiah and the Mahabharata are gonna come, or the worst of the city
will come out. So the question we're saying, How could it be something halal?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:23
			But when when it's when it's played? Only the worst gather the worst of people in the city gather
and then what do they do? Yeah, and there's always in gatherings of loud music, there will be
smoking, there will be alcohol, there will be intermingling there will be inappropriate dress and
then at the end of the day, the night will end many times with Xena will Aya Billa. So that's the
first indication there there's something wrong with it. It can't be something good and halal. But
when people gather around it, only the worst of things happen. It can't be. The second thing is look
at the feeling that you get from it. The feeling that music creates in you, is it something that
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:53
			brings you closer to Allah subhanaw taala Is it the same direction as Assura and Taqwa and Eman? If
right now and the speakers of this room Music start to Blair and I start to sing or rap. Even the
biggest music lover will find that distasteful and not acceptable. Because you understand when you
came for Jumeirah that you want it to go in one direction the feelings you're supposed to get are
one. And music pulls you in a completely different direction.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			And we understand that we don't need to evidence for that. If someone's dying. You don't play Happy
music while they're dying.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			If someone is injured or there is an accident, first thing people do, they turn off the radio. So we
understand the direction that it pulls us in. And sometimes people will try to ignore these
understandings that they have. Or if someone is playing catchy music while you're praying, even if
you're the musician, and someone is playing that, while you're praying, you don't appreciate that,
and you'll probably yell at them at the end. Because you know, you're trying to get one feeling
towards Allah subhanaw taala. And the music draws you and pulls you in another direction. And that's
why the early Muslims used to say, and this is scholars from 800 years ago, they used to say, Lai
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:15
			urged me on if you're capable inside the love of music and the love of the Quran, or not combined in
the heart of a believer, you either listen to one more than the other, but you don't listen to any
who listens to them equally. You find people in their car, they either have music or they have Quran
and even those who have both will listen to one more than the other. And even then, you know, if
you're listening to Quran and you stop it and play music, stop it immediately play one verse from
your favorite song, play a verse from the Quran, play a chorus from your favorite song, play a verse
of the Quran, everyone will become uncomfortable because it's tugging at your heart in completely
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:57
			other different directions. The scholars mentioned also from the feelings that it causes, it causes
the lack of higher lack of shame, shyness and modesty. People are not embarrassed when there's loud
music playing to jump around and twirl and fall on the ground and get up again and spin. They're not
ashamed. And women are not ashamed in front of when there's never been in history. A female dancer
that felt ashamed because there were men in the room. Once they played the music, she loses her
hire. The scholars also mentioned that it or it increases in arouses desires in people, the fitna of
the voices of women. And now these women, they're singing songs with very disgusting and dirty words
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:38
			and lyrics. And they're shaking and gyrating and they're dressed inappropriately, and they're
softening their voices on purpose. And there is no way a righteous believing man or woman would
would think this is completely acceptable. There are Christian groups here in America that believe
music is haram. And dusting is haram. And they say because it's suggestive, there is no way that
this is something that is righteous do something that is acceptable. And yet you find Muslims trying
to argue the opposite. Or that someone will try to argue that this doesn't affect the hearts of
people. Allah subhanaw taala created human beings and He created man and he knows men better than
		
00:12:38 --> 00:13:21
			they know themselves. And you find in Surah Noor Allah subhanaw taala is instructing the women. What
are your grip na br Julie hinda Leo Allah mama your fee and I mean Xena T hin were to Allah Allah
Jamia Anna, you may know Allah Allah come to flee Han ALLAH SubhanA. Allah is telling the woman who
are covered from head to toe to not strike the ground hard with their feet. So they're anklets,
their jewelry, which is covered under their clothing, jiggles and makes a sound. And the man is
aware and knows that she's wearing jewelry, which he will never get to see. What's the big deal? And
why would Allah dedicate a verse like this? To tell the woman don't stomp the ground with your feet
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:57
			so that the men know you're wearing jewelry? Why? So what if the man knows she's wearing jewelry,
and sometimes people try to deny this, but Allah subhanaw taala created us He knows us better than
we know ourselves. Because that will stir something in the man. The fact that she knows she's
wearing this kind of jewelry will stir something in the mat. And it will store his imagination. And
he will imagine the jewelry and what it's on and he'll imagine the woman and he will in his
imagination, marry the woman had because and that's why Allah subhanaw taala tells us not to tell
the woman not to do that, because he knows the effects, even if it's just a starting point. And it's
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:42
			not necessarily that it's going to lead to that endpoint. But it's a starting point. And Allah
subhanaw taala forbade that. We know that music moves people in various ways. And sometimes people
say it's just entertainment, it doesn't move me I listen to it, I'm going to train an AI and I turn
it off, or it doesn't affect my behavior. And that is absolutely not true. And we know that music
affects people. And people use it to get that desired effect, one of from the early generations al
farabi. And he was a musician, and he had an instrument, and he would pray it play this instrument
in a way and his audience would cry and he played in a sad tone, the audience would cry, then he
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:59
			would play it in a way and then the audience would laugh, then he would play it in a way then the
audience would fall asleep and then he would slip away. So it moves and those who study film or any
other industry, they are the directors. There were two camps in the beginning. Those who
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:44
			who felt you should manipulate the audience using the score or music and those who believe you
should not do that. But the point is that you know that a scene would not be the same without music.
So it's hard to deny that it affects and moves people. Or you go into any high school in America.
And you can tell who listens to what type of music just from the way they dress. So it got to the
point that it dictated their wardrobe. And then you're trying to say that it does not affect people
whatsoever. So then we have the messages. What are the messages in songs, how many songs are there,
where the singer is warning you of alcohol or drugs, or they're calling you to hijab or
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:14
			righteousness or Taqwa or to stop intermingling? Most of the songs. They're singing, and it depends
on what genre, but they're singing about love. And I wish it were a man singing to his wife, but
most of them are singing to a love in a relationship that is not lawful. And they're singing to a
calling to Zina, or they're calling to drugs, or talking about violence and shooting people or
talking about the devil and drugs again, we know what's going on. We know the lyrics we know what
it's about.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:17:02
			Allah Subhana Allah says in Surah Noor in Alladhina, buena, and she Alpha Heisha. To fillerina
Amano, la Hamada arraignment for dunya will occur. Those who love to see scandal and illicit type of
behaviors spread amongst the believers, they will have a severe punishment in this life and the
next. So the scholars set one group of amorphous city and said that this idea is threatening those
who love to spread scandal and illicit behavior in the community. Those who increase that and
encourage that and spread that, that AI is threatening them. The other group of movers sitting said
it's not even addressing that type of person. It's not addressing those who are actively engaged in
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:18
			engaged in pushing this out to the community. They're saying this is threatening a Lavina you a bona
and Tasha Alpha. Those who just love for it to spread here and is someone in the community that you
don't like is accused of Zina.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:43
			And people are saying it left and right and they're talking about it and spreading it. You don't
take part in it. You don't spread it. You don't ever open your mouth about it. But because you hated
that person, you just happy that they're destroying him. You just love that this is happening. And
that group of scholars said this is the type of person the verse is talking about, not even those
who are active in it, just the one who loves for it to spread.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:34
			For that reason, if numerous erode the companion Radi Allahu anhu, he used to say Alina Rukia, to
Xena that singing and music. This is the facilitator of Xena and you cannot deny the relationship
between the two. And for from the effects on women. There is what is known in English as swooning.
It's like what teenagers teenage girls do when they see the boy bands and the way they're affected
by that. This is is even that what he said? Yeah, Benny Omega er Comala Raina. He's tough talking to
Benny omega the tribe and he's telling them stay away from a Latina from singing from music for
Inaho youth he will hire because indeed, it takes away your higher you're not shy. It lowers your
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			inhibitions is what he's saying.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:19:26
			Why is easy to Shehata and increases it increases your desire well yeah demon Morrow data and it
takes away your manliness. Yeah, and even a man standing shaking his hips twirling dancing in front
of other men. We're we're in a whole la yo Nobu Anil Hummer, he says, and it substitutes for
alcohol. Whatever I do, I have alcohol soccer. And it does It intoxicates basically saying it does
what alcohol does. It intoxicates for including tubular Buddha alien, and if you're going to do it,
and there's no way around it, Virginie boo hoo Nyssa. At least keep it away from women for inner
Latina Daria to Xena because singing music is the invitation to Zina, Soloman Abdul Malik and he was
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:59
			the Khalifa. He heard some people who were singing and playing music. So he was upset and he
gathered the singers and he said to them, and look at how he understood this. He said in alpha rasa
layers hull Featherstone, Hula, hula ramaco. He says when the male horse makes that sound, the the
female then prepares to meet with says we're in alpha layer. They're talking about a Hanukkah and
when the male camel makes his sound, the female the she camel gets ready for him.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:19
			We're in a Tesla nib photos for the story moolah holons. That the for the goats the same thing. And
then he says we're in no Raju, they at Aruna factor star cola humara. He says, in the human world,
the man sings, and then the woman desires him.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:42
			And these points, you can't dispute these points. You can't dispute this happening right in front of
our eyes, not necessarily amongst our children, but most likely also, but we know the place and the
weight. The singers, male and female carry the way their fans look at them to the point that they
start to stalk them, or they commit suicide if they die, and so on and so forth.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:26
			This is a man by the name of Muhammad Abdul Mithuna. And he was his relating that ultimately, was a
famous Arab poet, and Hoba. If he attacked you in his lines of poetry, he would destroy you. And he
was known for attacking and he just he would not he was known for attacking people to the point that
one day he heard your Omaha and he attacked his own mother. And one day he wanted to attack someone,
he found no one he saw his reflection in the mirror, he wrote a poem against himself. So they were
worried about him. Yeah. And he's like a dangerous person, for he came to an area who is traveling
with his daughters, and he settled near the tribe of Bionicle. So they feared that if he disliked
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:51
			something from them, he would insult them in the poetry and it will be a need for all history, this
intel towards them. So they came to him and they said, out of respect, they said, tell us what you
like. And we'll do it and tell us what you don't like so we can stay away from it. So he said, Don't
come to me too much. I need Fatima Luna Nia Annie that you will get tired of my company.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:22:11
			What out to smear Rooney Avani shall be about to come for in Arena rope here to Xena, he says and
don't let me hear the songs because he's traveling with his daughters. He said Don't let me hear the
songs and the music of your young men. Because Because singing or music is the invitation to Xena.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:55
			And we could well we couldn't we couldn't in any hot button in the world. Go over examples of lyrics
from contemporary music today. We couldn't and it is just unbelievably filthy. And it's really hard
to understand how someone who believes in Allah in Allah and His messenger in the last day could
actually argue that this is okay that this is halal with the type of lyrics that are in songs today.
And some of the older people in the audience think I'm talking about the 1950 songs that you grew up
listening to. You either need to get an idea of what your children are listening to. So you can
understand the level of insane filth that is in these lyrics and in the songs of today.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:38
			I'm gonna open up the Aziz wrote to the more Adib you would in the old days get someone and they
will teach your children manners and etiquette and religion known as demean. So he said to his the
tutors basically he says to the Adib for so when you're you teach my children let the first lesson
for them be the hatred of musical instruments that begin with the shaytaan an end with the Wrath of
Allah azza wa jal so he's telling the tutor to his children first lesson make them hate musical
instruments because it starts with the shaytaan and it ends with the Wrath of Allah for it reached
me. This is a lot of Nabila Aziz, the fifth of the right leg of Hola. He said it reached me from the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:24:23
			people of knowledge that listening to music and songs grows hypocrisy in the heart, as water makes
plants grow. And we know how it replaces the Quran. I'm Rob Abdulaziz said to his son, a sons who
had zero come elvina Who had zero come elvina has zero common Vina, I warn you of music I warn you
of listening to music or singing. He says her Mr. Madhu Abdul Illa and saw hula hula Quran says
anyone who listens to that Allah causes him to forget the Quran. Yeah, and it replaces the Quran and
then you start to forget the Quran. One of the scholars as someone who said which one does Allah
love more the Quran or music? So the person obviously said the Quran, he said something that so then
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:27
			why don't you love that which Allah subhanaw taala loves more
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:46
			so, and of course, there are others who say it calms you down and it relaxes your nerves, and there
are studies coming out to show opposite to that. But it's enough even if it did relax you is enough
that Allah Subhana Allah says a Lavina
		
00:24:47 --> 00:25:00
			will talk to my inner Kulu whom be the Crayola with decree law. He talked to my inner Kulu those who
believe and whose hearts find satisfaction. Find tranquility repair
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			OSE in the remembrance of Allah, and without a doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find
their satisfaction.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:49
			And we mentioned in the beginning how much of your time is wasted, but some people try to still
claim that music softens their heart, and gets them to reflect and become introspective. But the
scholars said, if that were the case, then musicians would be some of the best people on Earth. And
singers and rappers would be some of the best people. And if music makes you cleanse yourself in
your heart and and your actions you will be some of the best people, but look at actors, look at
athletes and look at musicians or singers or rappers and what have you, heavy metal and all this.
And we know all of them get in trouble with the law every now and then. But without a doubt which
		
00:25:49 --> 00:26:08
			group gets more it gets in more trouble than the rest is more known for heavy drug use and, and
violence and ending up in jail than the rest. Everybody knows the answer. And it still can't be that
this is something halal, but it's just surrounded with haram. Every inch of the way. It's just
surrounded with haram.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:53
			Allah subhanaw taala described his Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and sort of a long description.
And part of it is your moral humble man Roe v. Wade, and how hormonal monka he enjoys good, and He
forbids them from evil. While you Hill, Lulu homotopy about and he makes good things Hello. And this
is a rule good things are halal. But then Allah subhanaw taala says, Well, you have to remove early
human hubba if you have to remove him, I'll cover it and he makes evil things, things that are bad
he makes that haram and that's the general rule. When something is higher is something good when
something is haram It is generally or typically something that is bad.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:29
			With that, even though there is a lot to say, and there yet and we can go through what the
companions said about these ayat and the scholars said about these ayat and the earlier generations
and the authentic hadith that people try to play game games with today, but we just wanted just to
look at his descriptions. Does it sound like something that is okay? Does it sound like something
that is halal? According to Coldharbour? was tougher Allah Allah, Allah Quran general rule Fosun
Mustafi ask Allah subhanaw taala for his forgiveness Indeed, those who ask for his forgiveness shall
prosper.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:51
			hamdulillah Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah I mean, what are the early he was
so happy Jemaine about
		
00:27:52 --> 00:28:41
			what did the early Muslims call music Yanni from the time of the Sahaba, the generation after them
and the generation after the what was the name for music, and the scholars listed all the different
names people had for music, they call it Allahu Allahu Al botton Zor el mukha. DIA, Rukia, to Xena
Purana shape on the moon between the Falcon physical assault and a hammock assault in third year, so
to shaytaan ms model shaytaan, a su mood. And these are just some of the names there's like a half
page of all the names they had for music, and some of these names who said it, they called it vain
talk, they call it false talk. They called it the falsehood, the false testimony, the facilitator of
		
00:28:41 --> 00:29:20
			fornication, the Quran of the Shaytaan, The flute of the Shaytaan, The Sound of the shaytaan the
immoral sound, and there's a bigger list than what we just read. This is the these are the names if
they wanted to say the word music, this is what they said they didn't say in Musil, as people do
today, this is what they called it, this is how they refer to it. The question is, why is it that
the most righteous generations in our own ma didn't have a single positive name from it for it?
Because this is how it was this is how they viewed it. Now what happens is that sometimes people
will say, well in this hotbar, you are giving us one opinion, and we know that there is a difference
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:59
			of opinion on music. No, there isn't. That is that is not accurate talk whatsoever. This is a
difference of opinion. This is a difference of opinion. This is a difference of opinion.
6040 7030 6535. These are differences of opinion. 5050 50% of the scholars said yes, the other said
no, that's a difference of opinion. This is not a difference of opinion at all. Yeah, honey, this is
a true example. There was a Maliki scholar from the early nations and he was not like a a deviant or
anything. He was a good scholar, but
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:07
			He mistakenly believed dog meat is halal. He made the mistake in the issue. He thought dog meat was
halal.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:16
			So if you asked me today is dog meat halal or haram? And I respond by saying, there's a difference
of opinion.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:58
			Would that be accurate? Is that a difference of opinion? Here the scholars of the Oman dog meat
being Hara. But there's one guy somewhere who said that it's just a difference of opinion. This is
exactly what people do today with the issue of music. Oh, there's a difference of opinion on music
type. Let's look at the earlier generations was there a difference of opinion on this issue of
music? The first of all the companions of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, there are issues that they
disagreed upon. There were issues that the Companions disagreed upon. And we're aware of these
issues. And you can choose the truth will be in within their opinions. You can choose whichever side
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:38
			and you can say these are my evidences and the other side will say these are the evidences. But on
the issue of music, not a single companion disagreed. There is not a single Companion of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam, who said it was halal. When the Prophet Salam died, there were over
100,000 companions not a single one of them said it was halal, and if anyone disagrees bring us the
evidence, one companion who said that music is huller ignorance road held that listening to musical
instruments gives birth to disbelief and in help in hypocrisy in the heart. If not Abbas said It's
haram eponymous road said It's haram job Nabila said It's haram. The four Imams ignore claim Rahim
		
00:31:38 --> 00:32:18
			Allah said the main hub of Abu Hanifa was the strictest in this issue and was the harshest they his
companions the companions of Imam Abu Hanifa. They stated that it is haram to listen to old musical
instruments. Then they said the PERT the person is a foster someone who is constantly in the
disobedience of Allah, and their testimony should be rejected. And they were very harsh on the
issue. They said even if you listen to it, we will not accept your testimony in court and you're
labeled A fossa. And then they said listening and enjoying music is gopher. We're not saying this
was correct. they based it on a weak Hadith they didn't know it was a weak Hadith. But just to let
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			you know to what extent they went
		
00:32:21 --> 00:33:02
			among Hanifa himolla He said elvina mean accurate globe and let he Ijebu Turku half hour on an hour
Hanifa used to say listening to music and singing. These are from of all sins, these are the ones
that you need to leave immediately. Imam Malik was asked about men who in his time who regarded
music as permissible, and he answered is only the sinful people who do that. And a man asked him a
Malik about singing and he said my father who are entitled for suck only those who are disobedient
to Allah do that's what is known that only disobedient people. They're the ones who do this and
listen to this and sing. And the righteous don't do that. Imam Shafi they said that the person who
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:43
			listens to music is a Sufi and a first second, his testimony should not be accepted. He said, I left
in Baghdad, something that the heretics introduced which they call tough beer, and tough beer. Look
at what of beer is. It's poetry that encourages you to leave materialism and they would accompany
this poetry, someone would be on like a like a kind of drum. And with a stick, as they're saying
this poetry that encourages you to leave materialism. You know, I'm a chef and I says I love in
Baghdad, something that the heretics introduced, they call it tough beer with which they distract
people from the Quran. Even this saw as a distraction from the Quran, even though they're quote
		
00:33:43 --> 00:34:20
			unquote calling to pour something good from the other scholars al Qasim said singing as part of
falsehood, Al Hassan Al Basri. He said if there is music involved in a dinner invitation or walima
do not accept the invitation. And for those who were wondering about that, the scholar said, if
someone invites you to a wedding and you know that there is going to be music if this person will be
offended Yeah, and if it's a family member and they will be offended if you don't show up they said
show up, give you a greeting your gift and stay for as little as possible then excuse yourself and
leave and they made this exception because family ties would be higher ranked higher than everything
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			else. So you'd go and you show your face for a limited period of time.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:49
			Even Abdullah bar Imam will call to be a Oza a it's a long list 100 Somebody ignore him and the list
goes on and on and on. Ignore Salah will play with poverty, even Roger will humbly ignore him even
Hajer al hates me McCool Imam an nawawi Kodama Makdessi, Ibn Taymiyyah. I'm a shabby,
		
00:34:50 --> 00:35:00
			Ibrahim and Nakai, Abu Thora Aman, and it's just a long, long list of the top and most major
scholars who never for a moment said that it was acceptable
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:24
			The former that had all the Companions, the early three generations, and then people will bring you
from an undisclosed one. Now everyone is playing the lute, and everyone is singing Oh, this concert,
it's okay. That's called solids. Okay. The scholar, the statement of a scholar is not evidence this,
this statement of a scholar requires evidence to support it doesn't matter who said it's okay.
What's your evidence supporting that?
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:32
			So we'll end here, but a few things, in conclusion.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:36:19
			And that is sometimes people need. Well, basically, we're looking at what would be the take home
message or what would be the action item. And it's simple. It's basically to stop. And what people
assume is that it will be hard to stop listening to music, and you have to do it gradually and
listen to 20 hours a week, and then bring it down to 15. And then 10. You can stop right away. It's
not like drugs. There is no patch for music. You don't have to slowly get yourself off of it. And
there are many people who just stopped, never hit the play button. And that was the end of their
story. It's that easy. And they did not have a reaction. And they did not start scratching their
		
00:36:19 --> 00:37:00
			face or doing any there is no drug to calm them down. That's all it is. It's just people who love
Allah subhanaw taala more and they stopped for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Quran, Wallah who really do a tuba Aleikum where every will let the Latina to be
on a shower, and Tamiflu made an agreement. Allah subhanaw taala wishes to forgive you. To turn to
you I need to forgive you. But those who follow their lusts and their desires, they want you to turn
away from Allah azza wa jal, a great deal with that we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us of those
who recognize the truth as clear truth and to recognize falsehood as clear falsehood and abstain
