    Heya;

    I mentioned music in this post

    http//forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12510&start=20#p177634

    The spoiler addresses the rest.

    Cheers;
    Peace.

      Ah I read through some of your link, and the surahs that say music shouldn't be overly loud, maybe that was a warning about the very thing I mentioned. The bi-lunal tones that induced seizures in children were very high pitched. The child hearing can hear the pitches and it can have adverse effects on the brain. Just thought I'd draw a connection between what science can tell us about music and what the Koran says.

        There is no need to justify; people at the time were not expected to justify.

        (I am non-Muslim, but aim for reform)

          I'm a non-Muslim myself, but I wasn't always. I'm here to gain different insights into Islam besides the Sunni version that in part drove me away eventually. Maybe I was hasty.

            Try this

            http//allpoetry.com/poem/9473277-A_Quran_Alone_Manual-by-Minhaj

            Sunnism is debunked. There you can study the best articles on "obey the Messenger" etc.. If you can't download the document, let me know.

            The Qur'an is clear on MOST things, but to me it is still less conclusive on points than it should be (considering it is the only source of law). The things I have trouble with are very minor, but the slightest is an excuse for Sunnis to fear using their own brain.

            E.g. in 20130, it says glorify at dawn, before sunset, night, and parts (plural 3+) of the day. I am not entirely sure what it means by "parts" there.

            In that FFI brawl, I accepted "strike" in 434.

                  Where is music forbidden in Quran??

                  Music is just like anything else; you have to make a judgement call about what you listen to lyrically and why you are drawn to that particular thing. Ask yourself how and why you connect and relate to any particular song and if that repetitive mantra of listening/singing it is good for your soul.

                    Is not creation that spawns from our intelligence signs from our Creator? I believe if the intention is not misleading then it is alright. Peace be to you everyone if it is willed.

                      Music is not forbidden and I really don't like how the traditionalists use that hadith about musical instruments to make it haram.

                      The Quran makes no mention of music. It's simply another art form and we are allowed to enjoy it.

                      It's just like how the Sunnis forbid drawing and sculpting or anything that is fun more or less. All hadith based and is not forbidden in the Quran.
