Islam, Music, And Personal Boundaries
This is exactly my point.Even when I was very young and did not yet have developed critical thinking, if I heard music at night coming from someone’s room, I would wake up from sleep and sit by the window outside just to listen. In other words, I have had a deep interest in music since childhood. I even gave up music completely for two months.These things are not impermissible in themselves; rather, we make them so. Anything that starts to dominate the mind excessively becomes a source of trial and leads one into heedlessness from the remembrance of God. Just as children are a blessing, yet we sometimes turn them into a test for ourselves.Now I have reached the conclusion that I should limit myself to listening only and not purchase or use musical instruments.
Thank you for your time. JazakAllah.
