    I'm fascinated by the direction a thread has taken over in the music section where a guy reckons Muslims aren't allowed music... at all!
    Now, he could just be winding me up or is that really the way things are?

    Wikipedia has a page which talks about islamic music but doesn't say that its a sin.

    Not that I know of. I know of many friends who are Muslims but who love music.

    It's banned because it takes people away from the path to Allah..

    A verse is Quran, that is most often pulled to justify the banning -

    Now lahw al-hadeeth is interpreted by many scholars as un-Islamic songs and music.

    If you can tolerate, and I mean it seriously, if you can really tolerate my homie Zakir, he is explaining it here: -

    But my friend Rabbit says it best -

    Your friends are Kafir then, They are not Muslims..

    Is really Music sin in Islam?

    Beinsa Douno strongly encourages people to learn to sing or play some musical instrument. Music is very important for your development.

    Sex only after marriage. Sex before marriage is a sin.

    As far as I understand, Music itself is not a sin in Islam.

    The 'music that takes you away from the path to Allah' (Whatever that means) is a sin.

    So any song/music that's not praising Muhammad or Allah is prohibited.

    Hip Hop Rap, R&B, Jazz, Rock, Metal (Pretty much everything that we love and admire) is Haram for Muslims.

    Seems TheWebby now thinks he's an Islamic scholar, amazing how he pretends to know what he's talking about.

    In order to gain respect,you first have to show it.The Webby is a very informed individual.Do you feel that if people disagree with your views they are wrong by default? He has not claimed to be anything,he has merely demonstrated great overall knowledge.

    He just made a claim, a claim is not showing his "great overall knowledge". Claims need to be supported by proof, his claim has no proof.

    No, I'm not, but my friends Rabbit is..

    He is an ace, A-grade Muslim, the true Muslim, not a fake one like you.
    You should Listen to my other homie Zakir, you will probably learn something about Islam.

    He is the source of my Information..



    My claims don't need proof caveman. My claims are proof in themselves!!

    I did not call you a non-muslim.. I called you a fake Muslim. And I stand by what I said.

    I call you a fake Muslim in your face buddy.
    You pretend to be a Muslim, but your real agenda is to give true Muslims a bad name. And you make it obvious with your abusive, backward, sexist, filth filled, total and utter garbage of a point of view.

    Jeez, now you want me to teach you basic English?
    Alright, since I'm a generous and giving human being, I will give you your free English lesson 101.

    In English, 'non' is a prefix that means "Not of the kind or class described"
    A non-Muslim is anyone who is not a Muslim.

    'Fake' on the other hand, as noun or adjective, is something that is not genuine, a forgery or sham, a counterfeit.

    Real life example: I'm a non-Muslim, you are a fake Muslim.


    PS: considering your acute reading disorder, I'll break it down in much simpler terms for you -

    A non-Muslim is one who does not believe in Islam. That is me.
    A fake Muslim is one who pretend to believe in Islam, but in reality he does not. That is you.

    So let me get this right, a "fake" Muslim is not a really a Muslim..he just pretends or looks like a Muslim..but really he is not?

    EDIT:

    You edited your post. So a fake Muslim and a non-Muslim are one and the same. So we are the same. Now. Do you have proof that I'm not a Muslim?

    Yupp, you got it right..But not looks like, He pretends to be a Muslim, while he is not.

    Now I know where will you go, now you will come back saying - "Well, then a fake Muslim is a non-Muslim essentially, because he is not a Muslim, according to your own definition. I won, I won, na nana na na waawaa!!"

    But let me tell you something that my friend Rabbit told me just yesterday, he said -
    "When the judgement day comes, Allah may forgive those who did not believe in Islam, if they ask for his forgiveness. He may allow them to enter the heaven, for they were misguided by Satan. But Allah will never forgive a pretentious fake Muslim, because he played by the Devil's rule and gave bad name to Allah and his true followers. Allah will turn them into a pillar of salt, and let them burn in hell fire forever".


    Allah doesn't care for your play on words, stop being a fake Muslim and repent and ask for his forgiveness, NOW!!
