Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Turkey: Directorate of Religious Affairs considering banning imam from preaching because he sings rock music

Jan 18, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, but it’s nonetheless true:

Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur’an.)

Muhammad also said:

(1) “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”

(2) “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”

(3) “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”

(4) “This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”

(5) “There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ….” — Reliance of the Traveller r40.0

“Turkey: Liberal Imam on thin ice,” DW, January 17, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

If Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, or Diyanet, gets its way, imam Ahmet Muhsin Tüzer will be forbidden from preaching in his small mosque because of his second love: Turkish rock music. Singing breaks a taboo.

    Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said that music is “not compatible” with the values of the Islamic republic, and should not be practised or taught in the country.

    Khamenei said: “Although music is halal, promoting and teaching it is not compatible with the highest values of the sacred regime of the Islamic Republic.”

    So, music is right off then in Turkey too.

    However, if he repents and plays the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean all will be forgiven.

    Islam is DEATH to HAPPINESS, to SINGING, to ORCHESTRAL MUSIC, to ART, to POETRY, to DANCE, to all ART in general. Only geometric designs are permitted in Islam for fear of idolatry.

    In the absence of the UPLIFTING GRANDEUR of art, Muslims are lied to and told the Koran is the HEIGHT of POETRY when Muslims have NOTHING WITH WHICH TO COMPARE THE KORAN. The Koran is an INCOMPREHENSIBLE MISH-MASH in which every FIFTH SENTENCE is INCOMPREHENSIBLE, OBSCURE, UNGRAMMATICAL or GAUCHELY WRITTEN.

    Far from being a ‘work of art’, the Koran appears to have been composed ORALLY by a delusional illiterate who had practically no idea of literature or literary composition. The Koran is almost completely BLATHER.

      The Koran appears to be a poor gauge of the reliability of “Rememberers” – those who memorized “history” until it eventually was permanently written on papyrus or skins.

    It is too bad our “artsy” community remains blissfully ignorant of these tenets of Islam. Too many of them wallow in this ignorance as they make way for this predatory and destructive political ideology.

    “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.” To Muhammad, hypocrisy and edible leaves are similar – maybe equal? With logic like that, no wonder today’s Democrats and Leftists seem to love Islam; words can mean anything they want them to mean, no matter how unrelated to reality.
