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 is also depicted as saying:
(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
“Taliban forbid music in cars, women without hijab: Reports,” ANI, December 26, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Kabul [Afghanistan], December 25 (ANI): The Taliban have forbidden drivers from playing music in vehicles and having women without hijab as passengers, media reported on Saturday.
Citing the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, Sputnik reported that a written recommendation on the subject was issued.
Speaking to Sputnik, an owner of a hotel in Afghanistan in October said that the Taliban had banned live music at weddings and ordered men and women to celebrate in different halls.
During the Taliban’s last reign, from 1996 to 2001, women were forced to wear a burqa, not go outside without a male guardian. Prayer timings were brutally imposed, men were forced to grow beards. Moral police were installed in every street, to punish violators with harsh punishments like flogging, amputations, public executions, reported New York Post….
The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had also issued “religious guidelines” calling on Afghanistan’s TV channels to stop showing women in dramas and soap operas….
Michael Copeland says
“Breaking musical instruments” is one of the examples of “Commanding the Right and Forbidding the Wrong” in the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” (q5.8).

There is no fun in islam. There is no logic in islam. There is no freedom in islam. There is no virtue in islam. There is no value in islam. There is no love in islam. There is no life in islam.
Hatred, lust, theft, destruction, rape, and murder in demonic islam. How is it possible that more people are unable to recognize this?
satan has convinced much of the world that he doesn’t exist. The demon snake has convinced most of the world that worship of him via islam is a good thing; or of no interest, nothing with which to be concerned.
It’s only going to get worse for the regular people of afghanizstan. And wherever afghanis have moved and taken the taliban mindset along.

As you say Somehistory, There is no fun in islam. There is no love in islam, because these are feelings that oppose everything satan stands for. islam has nothing to offer humanity other than hatred, death and destruction.
I also find it difficult to believe why more people are unable to recognise this.

John, They simply haven’t read the Quran.

The miracle of Islam is that a Muslim man can provoke the wrath of Allah by listening to an Infidel woman as she sings a beautiful song but Allah is perfectly fine with a Muslim man raping that Infidel woman if she is not dressed in a sufficiently modest manner. Yeah, listening to music is insulting to Allah but raping a woman somehow contributes to the greater glory of Allah. Such is Islam. It’s a man with a beard and a rifle telling you to do as he says or he will either rape or kill you. On second thought, that is not really a miracle at all.

One is like the ‘god’ that one worships. the behavior of those you describe show us all just *who* their ‘god’ is and what that demon is like.
Infidel says
Just enforce that cars either have no stereo systems, or if they do, it’s radio only. That way, the only thing channels will play is qur’an and sunnah, so few other than the ‘faithful’ will turn it on
Keith O says
I suppose that’s one way of stopping people from listening to rap music.
Infidel says
Or Trap music

Afghanistan: Taliban forbid drivers to play music in cars
……………..
What about that ‘kinder, gentler’ Taliban we keep hearing about?
Proud Islamophobe says
//and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings,//
Of course Satan would say that, because Psalm 150 of the divinely-inspired Bible says to…
3 Praise Him with trumpet sound;
Praise Him with harp and lyre.
4 Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute.
5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals;
Praise Him with loud cymbals.
OLD GUY says
Hey under islamic rule life is supposed to be terrible with no fun or pleasure, except for raping young girls. So of course music is way more dangerous and evil than rape, so it has to be band. Maybe they will do away with the sing song call to prayer 5-6 times a day, I find that most joyous so it to must be band also.
