MusicAccording to Quran and Sunnah

The Noble Qur'an - Luqman 31:6

And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) fromthe Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur'an) byway of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-Fire).

Hadith - Bukhari (#787) [Also related by Tabari]

Sa'id ibn Jbayr reported that Ibn 'Abbas said about the verse: "And of mankind is he whopurchases idle talks" (31:6), that, "ldle talks means singing and the like."

The Noble Qur'an - Al-Isra 17:64

"And Istafiz[literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can among them with yourvoice (i.e. songs, music, and other call for Allah's disobedience)..."

Hadith - Bukhari 7:494

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari that he heard the Prophet saaws saying,

"From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexualintercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks, and the use of musicalinstrumentsas lawful. And (from them), there will be some who will stay near the side of amountain, and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them forsomething, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during thenight and will let the mountain fall on them, and Allah will transform the rest of them intomonkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection."

The Noble Qur'an - An-Najm 53:57-62

The Day of Resurrection draws near, None besides Allah can avert it, (or advance it, or delay it).Do you then wonder at this recital (the Qur'an)? And you laugh at it and weep not, Wastingyour (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing, etc.). So fall you down inprostration to Allah, and worship Him (Alone).

Hadees-e-Qudsi (19:5) The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musicalinstruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance. Allah said that if a man took even amouthful of wine, He would make him drink the same quantity of pus of the wounds of the people in Hell.

6/6/00 Islamic state bans karaoke

An opposition Islamic party controlling a Malaysian state has banned discos andkaraoke sessions, an official said on Tuesday.Traditional Malay dance also fell under the ban by the Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS)which rules the north-eastern state of Terengganu.A PAS official denied a report by a local daily newspaper, The Star, saying that allforms of entertainment had been banned."What we don't allow is karaoke and floor shows at nightclubs," said Wan AbdulMuttalib, a state councillor in charge of local government, housing and environment.

He said such entertainment could "lead to an increase in vice".Some concerts, fashion shows and dance performances would be allowed in hotels "as

long as the participants do not overly expose their bodies", he added.Speaking on the ban on Mak Yong, a traditional Malay dance-drama usually performedby women, he said: "We don't allow [it] because the dresses of the female dancers arerevealing."Tourism concernWan Abdul said district councils - which issue entertainment licenses to hotels, clubsand private premises - had been urged to be flexible but cautious."They have to observe whether the performances are within the limits allowed byIslam," he said.

He denied the move would hit tourism, saying the state's scenic beauty, beaches andmarine life would continue to draw tourists.Some of Malaysia's most beautiful coral-rich islands are part of the state.PAS won control of the state from prime minister Mahathir Mohamad's federalgovernment in the general election last year. It also tripled its seats in parliament.The party benefited from the discontent with the federal government, fuelled by thejailing of former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim.PAS has held control since 1990 of neighbouring Kelantan state, where it has tried toenforce strict Islamic laws, with women required to follow a dress code and the sale ofalcohol curbed.Kelantan's supermarkets also have separate queues for men and women.The Terengganu state government announced in March that Muslim women would

have to cover their heads. Civic and women's rights groups protested against the move.The state government has also authorised only eight outlets in the whole state to sell
