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

Remember Cat Stevens? This little restriction effectively silenced him after his conversion to The Religion of Peace (and Quiet) some years ago. I believe he later found a loophole and has since recorded some inspirational ditties for Muslim tots.
Was it Edward Bear’s “Last Song”?
“It’s the last song I’ll ever write for you
It’s the last time that I’ll tell you
Just how much I really care”
Surely Miley doesn’t count as a songstress.
Sinead O'Connor or molten lead, six of one, half a dozen of the other.
“Muslims murder Islamic leader and at least 17 of his followers for playing music”
Was it RAP MUSIC ?
Music soothes the savage beast...
I think I’d rather listen to music than the rantings of the cult of some asshole god and his stupid chomo prophet.
Dionne Warwick?
Okay, I can dig it!
“I believe he later found a loophole and has since recorded some inspirational ditties for Muslim tots.”
“Blown to pieces train”
“Crescent Moon Shadow”
“Veiled headed woman”
Death to the Tillerman”
Was it ABBA?

I haven’t listened to that in forty-something years!
Thanks for posting.
The “sufi scholar” and his followers are regarded as “abusing the prophet” by the Salafist scumbags. This is one of the long persisting schisms within Islam, although Sufiism is not so much a separate sect as a complex tradition existing within both Sunni and Shi’a Islam.
Sufis tend to be more literary and intellectual in their approach to Islam. The most virulent (i.e. dedicated) Salafists and Wahhabis regard Sufis as a grave threat to the purity of Islamic belief and practice.
Music didn’t soothe these savage beasts.... or they wouldn’t allow it to.....
