Nowadays music is played everywhere. Many people don't know that those specific kinds of music are being played for an objective. There r certain restaurants that play an up beat tempo music which actually gets ppl n the mind frame of eating fast and getting out of the place so others can come in. The u hav retail stores that you go just keep shopping away and they will play music specifically made for this. Music is very powerful and is very much abused nowadays. I mean just look at everybody with their headphones in their own world, less social less human interaction. Just bobbing their heads away uselessly wasting precious time being selfish and no care for others.

Shaikh hamza said music is so powerful that it's why it's prohibited in islam , then he said it can take you into a state of presence with your lord ???? Can someone tell me what it does mean ??? If it's prohibited (that personally I'm sure of that ) so why sheikh hamza said that ??? Is he encourage people to listen to good music???

[@zeerakshahbaz6838]

Hadi Gelan JazakAllah from the bottom of my heart

[@DawoudKringle]

Music is a mathematical, visceral, and psych-spiritual microcosm of the universe; as is humanity. It is extraordinarily powerful and at the same time subtle. Most are unaware of its nature and possibilities. It’s power is, in its primordial form, morally neutral. Human intention and application make it either beneficial or destructive.

[@Phantom-ez4zv]

I thought like that until I heard Quranic recitation, and my Being has shifted into the unviersal instrument of timeless truth and love. My soul only craves Quran. What hamzah speak of might go over some people head who are not aware of islamic taswaf or sufism.

[@princessofthehippies3110]

Adopted Hippo Subhanaallah the more I listen to quran the more my whole being rejects music. I'm very sensitive to energy so I feel unpleasant energy shifts ( previously masked as pleasant) in my body. the worst feeling is the tightness in my throat. I cannot let go and get lost in music anymore. unless it connects me to nature and Allah, even spiritual music effects everyone differently, anything that triggers human desire should be avoided. Hamdulliah my soul is protecting me from getting lost in the illusion of this world.

[@Phantom-ez4zv]

princessofthehippies My journey to quran was rough, I was a nobody and still is, lost something and gained a book of all books, my eyes sees what lays beyond now, I see God works in everything, I see a timeless beauty. My life now is like an untold tale of great love that lays beneth it all. A heart pounding with love and grace, I can only give but not take. Quran are for those who seen it all, or want to see what lays beneath the surface of play. A play of lost souls looking for him. Abandoned distraught, its ok Allah waiting for you in the darkest room, stretching you mat to be touched by his grace and gentle love, a mercy that tops it all, now at peace and waiting to swim in the far space with the stars. Allah gives to those who wants nothing from it all. Look at my eyes? to you see eternity? am I dead in your love or still waiting for him to take his gift. Life is music and Quran brings that music to life. No need for music. Maybe occasionally to fit in, or hear good tones.

[@kratos8156]

Adopted Hippo u sound like a true believer! yet u come all the way here just to clarify yourself on youtube comments ? hmmmm something smells fishy ! the way u described did sound beautiful tho 😜. salaam aleikom

[@SubjectAlpha100]

I too have heard different opinions regarding music in Islam. So far as I've examined, and by what has been said by Hamza Yusuf, music is neither bad nor good, it contains energy. The energy of the music is transferred to the body and mind when listened to and that energy has a strong effect on one's behavior and state. Negative energy will have negative effects and positive will have positive. I think classical music is positive since it lifts the spirit and strengthens the heart.

[@mouf725]

As a fan of classical music myself, I think we must remember that the classical genre is not above the same problems that Sheikh Hamza Yusuf talks about here - for instance, 'Lisztomania' was a real cultural phenomenon following the cult-like popularity of Franz Liszt during his youth, and also, while classical music is not generally 'dirty', there are some notable examples of composers employing some immoral or impure ideas e.g. Mozart's 'Leck mich im Arsch' (hopefully no need to translate!)

[@aintamcute.5958]

Music does effect heart and salah as well.my personal experience

[@AsianAmerican2007]

I remember being a Christian, I used to listen to an artist that also included the violin. The violin is absolutely the worst instrument for me because it didn’t remind me of God at all..I became depressed after listening to it and almost suicidal despite it being a Christian themed song.

I know music can lead to haram within the community of people who listen to music in how they conduct themselves but music itself could be halal or haram i believe it depends on the message of the musician(s)... I believe it setting a very specific intent and a direction of the interpretation of the composition. It's like medicine it can heal but yet it can be abused... - - - This is My Islamic philosophical (Sufi) perspective on music, I am a musician, poet, philosopher, artist and Muslim - I must express if you consider music haram completely then you must consider the internet haram as well other wise it is hypocritical...

[@AC-mp7cx]

You have to careful about the words which you are listening,you are not intoxicating yourself in a danger position.I have respect for Hamza Yusuf,please let us show excellent culture & music to the people of the world.We are the same people like you but we have wonderful culture & music too.Peace .

[@realbrotha2973]

Asalamu Alaikum brother. If music is haram, than what about Israfil (the angel who blows the trumpet on yawm al-qiyamah)

[@realbrotha2973]

Mohsin Raza Asalamu Alaikum my dear brother. With all due respect, I'm not sure what your talking about. The words used to describe what the angel will do to the trumpet يُنفَخُ فِي imply blowing on an instrument according to the arabic dictionary I have. There is also a well known hadith in Sahih al-bukhari which says that the prophet (saw) and his companions were trying to findout what to use in the adhan, one of the suggestions was a horn or trumpet instrument others were bells. I'm not trying to pick and choose the parts of Islam I want (as I rarely listen to Music anyway) this is my own honest interpretation, and if someone gave me fool-proof evidence that music is haram, wallahi I would obey =) Allah knows best.

[@realbrotha2973]

Mohsin Raza I didn't even mention that hadith (Sorry if u were talking to someone else)

[@nathanael-3810]

If people want to believe all Music is haram than I am cool with that but as long you not a hypocrite. You can't say it is haram because it shifts you focus from Quran and Allah and yet you will go and play Video games/ Watch movies and Sports that won't remind you of Allah. At least their is a lot of Music out their which reminds you of Allah and his love, mercy and greatness. So really that most people today especially the local street Akh who loves to go and "remind" everyone on his opinion on music.

[@TheAnglosphereAccord]

That's actually a good point. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf doesn't even own a television.

[@TheLWebb100]

Well the difference is that all entertainment isn't haram but music is specified as haram.

[@Phantom-ez4zv]

music cant coexist with the love of quran , Quran just burns you with timeless love, listening to music is a step down

[@irfand4]

No blanket permissibility nor blanket prohibition with regards music. Religion places a dialectic tension (friction produced by opposite arguments[dialectic]) to make sure we do not go astray in either way.

[@cyclegrl]

indeed music is powerful not just on the soul but on the body. therefore it is used to heal people of various illnesses. music when done well can be cathartic and therefore has saved many lives..even music which some may find offensive provides an outlet for the listener which is beneficial to society.

[@RahatTheKiller]

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi.

Well said. Music is very powerful it can be used for a lot of good and can also be used for a lot of bad stuff. The question is which side do you pick. That is the case with anything actually. For a lot of people music is something that enlightens them for a others it is something that they use for their illegal acts. At the end of the day your soul is responsible for all your actions. If you don't have you heart and mind in proper sync and control then naturally you will go astray.

(24) Safwaan Bin Umayyah (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Amr Bin Qurrah said (to Rasulullah - sallallahu alayhi wasallam): "I am very unfortunate. I do not see any way for acquiring my rizq except by means of my duff. Therefore, grant me permission to sing (i.e. with my duff) such songs which will be devoid of any immorality (evil).' Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) replied: "I do not give you permission. There is no honour and no goodness (in what you are saying). O enemy of Allah! You are a liar. Most certainly, Allah has ordained for you halaal rizq, but you have chosen what Allah has made haraam for you in place of what He has made halaal for you of the sustenance He has decreed for you." (Baihqi, Tibraani, Dailmi)

[@BRADBURY273]

I saw Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan perform in 1990. It was one of the most joyous and life affirming experiences of my entire life. How can Islam have such an exquisite musical culture, so sophisticated and blissful, and yet certain commentators such as this discuss such arcane interpretations of the holy book in order to dismiss and outlaw music? Are Sufis so totally different culturally and theologically from these fundamentalists (?) that they are the only ones to see how music is a gift of "god" , one that enriches and illuminates the soul? It does not corrupt or "distract" it! Im not a muslim by the way. Just a curious bystander.

[@alimallhi8456]

Thumps up for being a Nusrat fan! 👍

[@alimallhi8456]

Usama Fayaaz! Bro music doesnt has any language in general. Its the genuineness of Sufi music and the way Khan sb delivered it to the masses, that attracts people from all over the world like a magnet. It doesnt matter if they understand the literal meaning or not but the essence of the sufi music has special spiritual effect on our souls.

[@abdulbasit-cn9ek]

@Usama Fayyaz So, a non-muslim cannot understand urdu?

[@tea_reem3146]

In another video humza yusuf says that singing is permitted in islam and so is the drums and the flute. I think the reason for such interpretation is to warn people about the negative effects of a certain type of music, that can cause its listeners to go down the wrong path. The music you refer to is deeply spiritual in its nature and is often used to connect with God. As a muslim I believe that certain melodies and voices can evoke such beautiful feelings that momentarily connect us to God.

[@shamkhan752]

Salaam alaykum. The Quran has been sent to us as a means of lifting one's emotional state- always in a positive way. Allah refers to it as a healing a cure a reminder. Also, musical instruments HAVE BEEN outlawed in Islam, so why are you people confused? Where are you learning your Islam from? !Always go to the source- Quran; and the authentic sayings of the prophet ( peace be upon him)- What we call hadeeth. It's no 'mystery'.read Quran yourself- with intention of seeking truth. Salaam alaykum.

[@MartinJames389]

A Latin word and part of the epistemology of the European Renaissance, which was much more informed and shaped by Muslim thought than is generally acknowledged. Together with the Trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric -the latter being the art of persuasion) these formed the seven liberal arts. They were distinguished from the practical arts, such as engineering, medicine etc. The sharp distinction is a European perspective not, I think, derived from the medieval Muslim outlook.

[@MartinJames389]

I didn't know that -thank you- though I did know about Kitab al-Musiqa and al-Farabi's advocacy of music therapy. To me, al-Fababi shines out of his time as a surprisingly modern thinker. I don't think his successor, ibn Sina, developed his philosophical thought entirely beneficially, so it is regrettable that he was much more influential on Western ideas than al-Fababi. I don't make the same criticism of ibn Sina in the physical sciences or medicine, in which he was peerless in his time..

I have heard different opinions regarding music in Islam but I am still uncertain as to what is genuine. It seems to me that there are different kinds of music. Serious reflection soon reveals that certain types of music are incompatible with Islam, such as most forms of popular music; but are Bach and Mozart, for instance, really incompatible with Islam? I find this difficult to accept. Most listeners to this music find it spiritually and emotionally elevating, as I have done myself.

If music has the ability to corrupt minds then it also has the ability to uplift them too, depending on the composition of the track and sounds used as well as lyrics you are able to alter the output intended unfortunately the music we hear on the radio portrays the bad side of it as the moto of most songs is to live for today, but that can be changed.

[@ShawnFX]

Can we listen to "subliminal messages" and is it allowed in Islam. Its an audio file with affirmations (affirmations are starements like "i have a positive mind" or "I am extremely wealthy") these are hidden behind music, not like hip hop or pop songs just noises so that you cannot hear them this way the affirmations go directly to your subconscious mind to make the positive changes. Brothers are subliminal messages allowed in Islam, because i dont want to upset The Great Almighty Allaah if its not and dont worry they are for good changes like learning faster, growing taller and reading faster.

It makes you God conscious but it's also dangerous, you'll get lost if you'll listen to it too much. In Turkey, there is divinity.

It must be. Music is not the highest of Arts but rhythms and melody break down the enchantment of religious mantras (unless they are used like tools by religions). For all purposes of conducting a sermon, unintended music is like a monkey in an antique shop. Orthodox religions don't like paintings either. Don't lose the pagan in you.

[@SaiSai-mh3mp]

can I listen to maher zain songs cz it has music

[@SaiSai-mh3mp]

???????

[@cano5063]

+Sai Sai you can do it but its haram

[@kashcuts9957]

+Sai Sai U can listen to vocals without music i think it's permissible cause the song is actually giving good values and is making us remember Allah (swt) which makes it permissible .

[@Phantom-ez4zv]

Maher Zain music is islamic , i dont know about him, but i will give my opinion on this topic in general Those who choose Quran AS company can't maintain a life listening to music, it creates a turmoil in the soul that is trying to develop beyond the fakery in this world, but if you are not close to Quran Music will not effect you that much, hence why people who hear music tend to be just normal practicing Muslims but not those who spend a life with Quran and actually follow it. Bottom line the closer you are to God the more you become tuned to hear the music of the universe, and once you taste the organic raw music of everyday life consciousness in the universe you will never want anything to disturb it, because life as you see will become very authentic and REAL and beautiful as it is and you dont need a selfie to confirm that its real. You could say it as there's two opposing forces in the world EVIL and GOOD , FAKE AND REAL, Music is fake , Quran is authentic.

[@MartinJames389]

One part of this doesn't make sense. "Beatlemania" had nothing to do with music per se, but the tattiness and emptiness of the cult of celebrity. You can see the same thing in India, Pakistan and throughout the sub-continent in respect of cricketers, some of whom are elevated to the status of gods by some Hindus. They generally do nothing to encourage this (idiots like Shahid Afridi perhaps excepted, but no Hindu adulation there). It is the bane of their lives for the sensible majority.

[@يزنالشوابكة-ش4ع]

shekh hamzas suffism was getting in when he said hdoor (presens) dont speak about the soul people like you know anything about it the prophet when he was asked about the soul what did god say say the soul is from the business of Allah and and you only got small amount of knowledge in another words dont get into it . music just interacts chemicals in our bodys and or enjoyable and suithsble that you react to it or atract emotions and memories wich you get affected by it and there are keys in makamat and rethems where it turns u up or chemicals known by ecperienting

[@decunamus2]

This guy is insane.

[@infoperang2664]

So ITS Clear music is haram. Some ppl may argue That music has benefit too. Well, same thing with khamr (alcohol) but the harmful of it is bigger than the benefit.

[@mamini505]

Right, because reading ONLY the Qur'an will lead you straight to Jannah. Forget about medicine, law, logic, politics, economics, etc. Let us just stick straight to the Qur'an without any knowledge of the Dunya. BTW, he doesn't have enough facial hair to grow a beard, so maybe it's you who is extremely misguided. If you actually had an atoms weight of intelligence and actually listened to the lecture, you'd know that he's condemning music.

[@salwamuslimah5648]

What does he have ot say on Dhikr circles, not from the sunnah or Quran but he practices this in His school in America? there are pleanty of Hadith on hos much the Prophet SAW hated music. to the extent he would put his fingers in his ears. So It is expressed in many ways as being harram from Hadith. And this is an opinion of shiekhs and scholars on the Sunnah. Not sufi's who use music to get into a trance and dance, and "remember" Allah. As they do in morocco, His wife is from Morocco...

[@share00share]

it would be nice if you can also setup a madrasa like Zaytuna Institute or knowledgeable as much as Hamza Yusuf, if not better, in order to propagate Islam. To judge a scholar based on turban or not... emm... That, is way too shallow.You would find other big scholars who on some of the days would not wear turban also. Don't judge too soon. Get the good sides, and leave out the bad ones. Just consider this, would the Prophet SAW agree with your assessment? Sincerely. wallaahu'alam.

[@5heeshi]

Sufi is a type of Muslim like Scholar or imam or mujahid. Why do you identify yourself with a name rather then Muslim? Why do we refer to Sahaba as such and not Muslim? When one identifies himself as Sufi he is saying he loves zikr and Al Ehsan or Tasawuf. But please continue with your life of 'bidah' and 'shirk' keep the anger up :)

[@dmc7890]

Wtf?

[@share00share]

sigh, you don't understand what he was saying. Sh. Hamza Yusuf mentioned specifically about the boundary of music, that is no extreme prohibition and no extreme permission to music. The impact of music to soul, thus, must happen within the allowed boundary. Please try to understand the lecture first before making any judgement. Otherwise we will be creating fitna and would have wronged a person, and will have to answer about that on the Judgement Day. jzk and wallahu'alam.

[@sultanchamp]

he's almost as bad as the Saudi king who kissed Bush and held hands with him, no?

[@haqm2012]

sh Haqmza Yusuf,I have met him in Bay Area,to the best of my mind he is a confused shaikh.One day he promotes turban and next day hei head is totally uncovered.His beard also went through changes as his views on many aspects of Islam such as jihad etc.Here he is condemning music then saying you can gain spiritual heights through it.He is very contradictory to say the least.If you want to learn true Islam and true sufism you should get in touch with sh Zulfiqar type of Ulamaa who are on haq.jzk

[@uzairmehran8542]

You know what brother. You don't have really deep insight of Islam. You are actually confused person. You didn't understand what he is saying.

[@Ummkoko]

can u explain what a wahabi is? to be honest im sick of hearing this word thrown around. This is a label our enemies have given the ppl of tawheed. im glad I worship One God. the quran n sunnah for me and if I get labeled a wahabi in the process...so be it.
