@@ziaulabedin1912 Its because of Salafism and Ahl al Hadith movements of that vein like Deobandis. They force you to accept all of the Hadiths for all situations despite hadith literature being a case to case basis mostly and a lot of it being unfit for modern times or be corrupted. Pan islamism and Literalism is a cancer in the religion.

If you cared what God said. Then you would understand why music is not allowed. The prophet categorically stated it is Haram. The sahaba also clearly said it's Haram. The four madhhabs also are in total agreement it is Haram. You should consider leaving your desires and learning the truth.

Thank you Filip for this beautiful video I've played traditional Arabic music for more than 12 years, Turkish (Türk Sanat Müzigi) and Iranian (Radif) music for more than 5 years but still I never got the "researcher's" motivation to read and put all of this information in such a well-done form. So I really appreciate it 🙏 If there's anything to add I'd say there are two important music-related rituals in Islam that weren't mentioned in the video : the call for prayer (Azan) and the recitation of the Quran, these two acts are almost completely based on music. The Azan is almost performed based on the Maqams everywhere on the Islamic world, I know that maybe very few extremely conservative communities in Saudi Arabia that just shout it without being based on a musical mode. While the recitation of the Quran is universally appreciated to be sung (they'll say it's not singing but any musician in the world knows that it is) which is based on the seven maqams and there's also a rhythmic punctuation with a unified tempo that guides the duration of pronunciation. Young children who learn the recite are taught these two aspects when learning how to read the Quran (rhythm and modes) I'd love to hear what you think about more contemporary Islamic music, like with modern production and arrangement tools :D

[@LetsTalkReligion]

That's awesome! I've played the Oud and Arabic/Turkish (mostly) music for about 8 years. It's a wonderful thing to be involved with. I agree about Quranic recitation in a way, but since it isn't considered music by most Muslims, I chose to leave it out of this video.

Your amazing narration and beautiful presentation of images also makes it enrapturing to watch at the same time. It’s so sad music in the contemporary Muslim world is dying with Salafis on the other hand arguing it’s prohibited while more westernized people copying western pop music or Bollywood music. Even contemporary Islamic music is not very skilled and it just doesn’t sound genuine because Muslims are so out of touch with their musical tradition.

[@majmulBahrain67]

I’ve never heard of a musical tradition in Medina. Does it still exist? Or is there any more information or songs recorded from it?

First of all, I'm very happy you like the video! Secondly, "the school of Medina" as I talk about it in the video was mainly for that time period. A coherent school hasn't survived to this day.

Is there any relation between the inclusion of music into Islamic/Arab philosophy and the concept of "seven liberal arts" of medieval Europe that also include music? Because a lot of medieval scholars certainly influenced by Muslim philosophers, like Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd (until Thomas Aquinas, that is) Or did music theory was studied in western philosophy before that? Also: "Al-Mansur the Jew; who was, in fact, Jewish" I love your humour LOL PS. Seven liberal arts are the form of formal education in medieval period before the establishment of the modern form of education. It includes, Trivium : Grammar, Logic/Dialectic, and Rhetoric, as primary education and Quadrivium : Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy, as higher education.

[@LetsTalkReligion]

Good question! Philosophy of music in Europe was very much influenced by the Muslim writers, like Farabi's Kitab al-musiqa al-kabir. But I don't know enough about medieval European music theory to answer definitively.

Quite interesting. I live in Egypt and there are many pious Muslims that with great assurance and faith say music is haram. However, I study about vibrations and frequencies and how they are connected to the consciousness, perhaps dimensional existence and one‘s soul. I absolutely believe music is a gift from our Creator and that appropriate music serves the heart and soul. I believe it historically, just as music today ‘can be‘ bad when it induces radical, deep aggression, lust or social perversions. But a beautiful song produces beautiful things.

Music is a medium of which knows no boundaries. It does hv a kind of mystical godly effect. I love your explanation and it's very insightful. I want to bring up something interesting from my country relating to music. Ofc this was pre-Islamic times eventhough no texts can pinpoint it's exact era. It's called Mak Yong and Main Puteri. It's been practiced by rural people in my country especially in the northern part called Kelantan. What i want to point out is this ritualistic practice has profound impact on the people(patients) that are involve. Invoking semangat( inner spirit) that awakens by the playing of music and chants. People hv been known from cannot even get up to start to get back on the knees and people who hv low semangat gets a full blasted energy. It's strange how just by music they're able to accomplish such things. Many Muslim people in my country think since it's pre-Islamic it's just nonsense but the concept of it isn't so far off from Sufism where it invokes a higher spirituality. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Although it is a very well made video, and i have learnt new information watching but there are some important details that should be added. It is cruicial to talk about Mansour Ibn Zalzal (791) who was the first music theorist in a way for he found the solution for the "Wosta" or the Sikah (third note in the Rast scale) for it was 1/2 note in theory but 1/4 in practice. So he added the Wosta Zalzal which had the ratio of 22/27. And also we should not forget Abou Faraj Al Asfahani (891-967) who was the first to establish Maqams through the placement of the fingers on the fretboard. For example in his "Kitab Al Aghani" or "Book of Songs" we can find examples of "Sababa Fi Majra Al Wosta" or "Ring finger and middle finger" which gives us the Bayyati Maqam, or "Sababa fi Majra Al bonsor - Ring finger and index finger" gives us the Nahawand Maqam or known in the west as Minor scale and so on... Thank you for your very informative videos.

I’m a big fan of your channel and I’m watching all your videos religiously! I have one suggestion/complaint though: you keep mentioning Persian polymaths like Farabi or Avicenna and you simply call them “Muslim” instead of using the nationality they had. Yet you mention the term “Arab” whenever you’re talking about actually Arab polymaths. Thanks for your effort though,

After viewing zillions of hours of your videos, I wonder where do those beautiful illustrations come from? Especially I am interested in European-style artworks, e.g. the one featuring Tuwais at 3:00 at this video.
