Music & The Quran ᴴᴰ - by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan 

I think nowadays, music is probably one of the easiest means to lose your moral sense. It is...music is audio pornography, today. That's what it is. It's explicit, it's shameless, it's vulgar. It takes your sense of humanity away from you, it makes you look at women as objects, worse than objects, worse than animals. Just as, these people are talking about women like they're talking about, you know, an animal, really. 

It objectifies women, and especially I've noticed that a lot of the brothers that I know of, Muslims that are really into the 'hip-hop scene' and they're kind of doing the hifdh (memorization) of the song, right? They're memorizing the song and they're really good at reciting it, and with perfect tajweed too, right? And so they do that and it's just horrible language, horrible, horrific, horrific language. 

You know, the only simple response I have to that, if you have any regard for the book of Allah, that you really think it's from Allah, 'bi'salismul fusuku ba'dal 'eeman.'

Even the name, the mention, the word for something bad is terrible once you have faith. Even the mention of something terrible is horrible for you, it's harmful for you after you have faith. You have to have a clean tongue. You have to say what you... 

'Qul-li'ibaadee yaqoolul-latee hiya 'ahsan.'

Tell my slaves to say that which is the best. Say what is the best. Say good things from your mouth. 

And I'll tell you, well this is my personal measure, not a fatwa, it's my personal analysis. You don't have to take it. But if the person finds listening to the Qur'an annoying, after they've been listening to hip-hop and this and that for a long time, and as soon as somebody puts on the Qur'an in the car, you know what they say, "Come on, turn that off, man. I just wanna talk." And immediately, they get a little annoyed when they hear the Qur'an, that actually means the Shayatheen have taken over, and they're constantly making waswasa (whisper) out of this person. 'Cause what do the Shayateen hate the most? They hate the Qur'an. They hate the word of Allah. They flea. It hurts them. So you know what they do? Because this person has let the Shayateen, the devils into his heart, they start pinching at his heart when he hears Qur'an and he says, "Ahh...I don't wanna hear this." Right? It's like surgery, it's like pulling a tooth from the person. This happens. When you try to give this person a reminder from Allah's word, they get annoyed by it, like agitated, like an allergic reaction. Why? Because they let the Shayatheen in. To let them out, the first thing you gotta do is stop supplying them with fuel. This is fuel. This useless wasting of time, this is fuel for Shaytan. They love that you waste your time. They love it, because the one asset, the one piece of wealth, Allah gave every human being (equally) is time. And what is music and TV and YouTube and Facebook and MySpace and Twitter and whatever else. If you're spending hours and hours and hours on that stuff, what is it except destroying your time? It's taking that one asset away from you, Shaythan would love nothing more. 

May Allah (subahaanu wa ta'ala) give you the strength to get away from these temptations. My advice that I keep going over, I cannot get enough of giving this advice- find better friends. Find company that is not into these things, and try to spend more time with them. Insha'Allah you wean yourself off of these habits. 

Bi'Ithnillah
