| None of that, thank you very much; so saith the Prophet (PBUH) |
The lady below is a convert to Islam, and she's explaining to a letter writer why it is that music is haram, forbidden in Islam. She takes rather a long time to do this. You don't really need to watch it all: the message is simple: Music is no-no for the pious Muslim.
She's on strong doctrinal ground:
The authoritative manual of Islamic jurisprudence, the Umdat Al-Salik ("The Reliance of the Traveller", linked at left) says:
"On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will put molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.
"Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage." [r40 (2) (3)]
