The Evils of Music: The Devil’s Voice & Instrument by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim translation by @ImamStudent

by Imām Ibn al-Qayyim

From the plots of the Shaytaan (Satan) and his traps which he uses to influence those who possess only a small share of knowledge, intellect, and religion – and with this he captures the hearts of the ignorant and the people of falsehood – is listening to whistling (al-mukaa), clapping (at-tasdiyyah), and singing accompanied by instruments, which are forbidden, that turns the hearts away from the Qur’aan and causes them to become preoccupied with disobedience and transgression.
