Islamic Stance on Music [🧵]

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Music has been so normalized that “scholars” have even misguided people on it. May Allah forgive us and guide us, aameen.

This will be a long but informative thread on this topic, in shaa’ Allah
Ibn Masud (rAa) said about this ayah: “It is singing, by the one and only God” he repeated it 3x (Tafsir Tabari 11/61)

Ibn Abbas says the same thing (recorded in Adab Al Mufrad), so do Jabir Ibn Abdillah and Ibn Umar. As well as Ibn Abbas’ father (radhiAllahu ‘anhum)
The scholars of tafsir regarding the voice (of Iblis):

Mujahid: It is singing, flutes, distraction, falsehood (Tafsir Tabari 15/81)

Hasan Al-Basri: It’s the duff and the flute (Tafsir Samani 3/258)
Ibn Abbas said: It is singing. Upon hearing the Quran, they (the mushrikeen of makkah) used to sing and play. (Tafsir Tabari 13/82)

Mujahid also says the same thing in Talbis Iblis by Ibn Jawzi (p. 231)
Ibn Abbas said: The Quraysh would make tawaf around the kabah naked while whistling and clapping.

Mujahid said: They used to oppose the Prophet ﷺ while making tawaf by whistling and clapping, trying to confuse him ﷺ during tawaf and prayer

Ighathat Lahfan (2/274-275)
The word {اللهو} is again mentioned in these verses. The sahaba said lahwal hadith is talking about music. The same word is used generally in the Quran in these verses. People look to music for amusement/entertainment, that which is forbidden.
Ibn Qasim (rahimahuLLah) said “I asked Malik (Ibn Anas) about singing. He said: Allah the Highest said: *quoted Surah Yunus verse 32*
Then he said “Is it Haqq (truth)?”

Tafsir Al Qurtubi (14/52)
Ibn Hajar completed the chain of this hadith, it was narrated by Abu Malik Al Ashari rAa.
Prophet ﷺ warns us about the bell
Prophet ﷺ warns us about drums
Similar hadith to the one in bukhari
Zina of the ears
Quran and Sunnah are clear about this issue. Now, let’s see if the 4 madhabs follow, starting with the hanafis.

“Abu Hanifa, he used to hate singing and considered it among the sinful acts. Same as Sufyan, Hammad, Ibrahim, Shabi and others.”
This was reported in Talbis Iblis p. 282 and Ighathat Lahfan 1/348

“Abu Hanifah regarding this is from the strictest opinions...
They explicitly mentioned that it’s a sin and the one who engages in it is a fasiq whose testimony is rejected... seeking pleasure is disbelief”
“Abu Yusuf said regarding a house which has music coming from it, Enter upon them without permission for forbidding evil is obligatory.” Ibid

It’s permissible to smash other people’s instruments in the hanafi madhab as Ibn Abidin explains in Hashiyat (5/575)
“The testimony of the one who sings to people is rejected because he gathering people for a major sin”

Al Bidayah by Al-Marghinani (3/137)

Malikis say the same: When Imam malik was asked, he said “only the sinners amongst us do it” (Talbis Iblis p. 229)
The same is brought by Al Sahnun in Al-Mudawwanah Al Kubra (11/421) and by Shaykh Al Islam Abu Tayyib At-Tabari in Ar-Radd ala man yuhibbus-sama (p. 30)

Dusuqi says “Listening to songs is prohibited if they incite ones desire, contain bad words or accompanied by instruments
This can be found in his hashiyat (2/327)

Shafii madhab: Shafii said, “Singing is a hated distraction. It resembles falsehood and idleness. Whoever does it a lot is foolish and their testimony is rejected.” Sunan Al Bayhaqi (10/322)
Abu Ishaq Shirazi says that it’s haram when accompanied by instruments and beating of the duff is allowed on special occasions which is the exception. Al-Baghawi says the same thing.
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said singing makes hypocrisy grow in the heart. (Al-Amr bilMaruf wanNahi anil Munkar 164)

he also said “the flute, pipe, sorna (woodwind instrument), mandolin, lute, rebec and its likes are haram” Talbis Iblis p. 301
The third type of proof is ijma, which is also found. Al Qurtubi cites ijma in this tafsir under surah 31:6. Ibn Hajar says some scholars have relayed ijma on this issue, in Fath Al Bari - Bab Al Hiram.

Ibn Taymiyah cites ijma of 4 schools (Majmu 11/576)
Ibn Qudamah: Musical instruments such as the mandolin, flute etc are instruments of sin by consensus (Mughni 9/115)

Ibn Nujaim Al Hanafi: Al-Bazzazi reported in Al Manaqib consensus regarding prohibition of singing with an instrument (Bahr Raiq 7/89)
Other scholars such as Ibn Al Qayyim and Al-Ajurri also cited ijma. Albani rh cites ijma of 4 schools like Ibn Taymiyah.

Al-Qadhi Iyyadh went extreme and said whoever denies its prohibition is disbeliever. (Sharh Al Muntaha 9/358)

SubhanAllah
Alhamdulillah, from the information above it’s quite clear that music is prohibited. Since there is a tantamount of evidence from the Quran, sunnah along with some many citations of ijma, any speech of a mujtahid against this is disregarded, whether it’s Ibn Hazm or otherwise.
With that being said, there are exceptions to the rule. If the singing is not women to men, doesn’t contain bad words and doesn’t include instruments, it’s permissible as long it’s not excessive. And we have narrations on special occasions for women playing duff and singing.
This singing for women is only amongst themselves though. Lullabies for babies are also included in this type of singing. and Allah knows best.

That’s the end of the thread, if I said something wrong, it’s from me and shaytan and Allah SWT and His messenger ﷺ are free from it.
May Allah protect us from sin (especially that of music). May Allah grant us guidance and increase all of us in beneficial knowledge and righteousness. Ameen

***Thread - The current state of Ummah***
We muslims and the muslims scholars always say - the Quran is the final, complete, universal and incorruptible word of god (which is true), but why is it that our "islamic governments" fail to enforce laws based on the Qur'an...

A few days back, fornication was legalised in the UAE (which is strictly prohibited in the Qur'an)
And with saudi Arabia's suspicious activity with Israeli officials, we as an ummah are bound to ask ourselves few questions

What led to this?
Who is responsible?
What are we doing?
Does the majority of our ummah even want to do something about it?
What can be done?
Who can do it?

Q1 - what led to this?
This question has answers we all know, but we turn a blind eye towards it.
After the fall of the Ottoman Islamic khilafath we can safely say that it's secularism (Ataturk) which responsible for it...

...And that's ironic, as muslims who live in secular states vouch for the secularism mentioned in those states' constitution for the protection of their rights...

[Thread: Wife Beating & Islam]
Opinions of famous classical Muslim scholars.

Imam Al-Desouki:
If the wife claims she has been beaten in transgression and the husband claims otherwise, then the wife is to be believed and the husband is to be reprehended (rebuked, …) by the judge


Imam Al-Desouki:
And if proof for transgression is shown and the wife wants to remain with him, then the judge is to beat the husband.


Imam Al-Desouki:
If the husband believes that his wife will not stop rebelling except by beating, then he’s not allowed to beat her.

Ibn Hajar Al Haithami:
If a husband knows that beating isn't helpful, then it becomes haram.

Al-Shafi‘i:
Beating is allowed, but avoiding it is better.

Maliki opinion:
Beating is allowed ONLY if it delivers the benefit intended from it. If it doesn't, then it's haram.


Ibn Hazm:
A wife has the right to divorce herself and right to retribution (or retaliation) if her husband beats her violently.

He is not allowed to beat his wife violently even if he knows she won’t stop rebelling by no other means and...

Celebrating Shab E Barat - A Thread

Some Muslims celebrate the middle of Sha‘baan, fasting on that day and spending that night in prayer. There is a hadeeth concerning that which is not saheeh, hence the scholars regarded celebrating this day as an innovation

It is not prescribed in Islam to celebrate the night of the fifteenth of Sha‘baan, whether that is by spending the night in prayer, dhikr and reading Qur’aan, or by distributing sweets or giving food to people and so on.

It is not known in the saheeh Sunnah that this night is to be singled out for acts of worship.
Al-‘Iraaqi said: The hadeeth about the prayer on Laylat al-Nisf (mid-Sha‘baan) is false. Ibn al-Jawzi narrated it in al-Mawdoo‘aat (which is a compilation of fabricated hadeeths)

The hadeeth, “When the night of ‘nisf Sha‘baan’ (mid-Sha‘baan) comes, spend the night in prayer and fast on that day” was narrated by Ibn Maajah from ‘Ali. Muhashiyyah said: (It was also narrated) in al-Zawaa’id.

Its isnaad is da‘eef (weak) because of the weakness of Ibn Abi Basrah, of whom Ahmad and Ibn Ma‘een said: He fabricates hadeeth. End quote.

What is #Tawheed?
What are the Categories of Tawhid?

Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tawhid of Allah."
(Sahih al Bukhari 7372)


#Tawheed is to single out Allah in his Actions, in His Attributes, and to single out Allah in our actions/worship towards Him (His Rights).

🔹1 - Tawheed ar Rububiyyah
(maintaining unity in Allah's actions, the divine Lordship of Allah)


He alone is the Creator & Sustainer, and controller of the universe (etc).. and not attributing any of this to anyone else

🔹2 - Tawheed al Ibaadah(Uluhiyyah)
(maintaining the unity of worship)
This means to single out Allah as the focus of all worship (‘ibaadah).


Allah alone has the right to be supplicated to & prayed to, and sacrificed for and worshiped... directly, and without any intermediaries.
A person can believe in Allah(One God) and still be committing #SHIRK (polytheist)


Allah says.. 👉 “And if you were to ask them: ‘Who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon?’ they will surely reply: ‘Allah.’ How then are they deviating (as polytheists and disbelievers)?” - [Quran 29:61]

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

THREAD PART 1.

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMyNoah💙


He was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.

On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road. https://t.co/bpz3Rmc0wq


"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr McCrisken."

Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x


PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ


The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
