How can anyone think music is "bad" when it has been proven to be one of the healthiest things for humans?

Here's one quick article as a starting point -

http://www.lifemojo.com/lifestyle/10-benefits-of-l...

Music is a proven stress reducer, pain killer, heart helper, intelligence simulator, sleep helper, optimism or metal health helper, etc...

No wonder almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. No wonder muslims have such hatred and ignorance. Islam sucks out everything that is healthy and good and leaves only hatred. Men are with men all the time, basting in the testosterone of their "brother". Woman are hidden and hushed.

Musicians are some of the most important people on earth. How many times I can recall hearing a song while driving, or in some stressful place, and then happiness. What a contribution to humanity! Some artist creates an art work, I hear it and it gives me happiness. How many products or services can do that, especially in such an innocent format.

Music has never made me want to have sex. I have tried to set the mood for sex by playing music, but this was already after the fact that we both knew we were going to finish the evening that way and to be quite honest, trying to set the mood usually hurts sex drive because it takes spontaneity out.

Some people say "911 is all I need to know about Islam". Others point to all the Islamic war and conflict worldover. I say this, the fact that the Islamic world, in the mainstream, condemns all music says it all, its all I need to know. What a plague upon the world. Truly.

Update:

BPK: Your kind of ignorant "well intensioned" knee-jerk apologetics is todays trojan horse. I am no "right-winger", neverthless, I have had it with people like you and in the right circumstance would much prefer to answer without words...swiftly.

Islamists, to a tiny degree have an excuse. They mostly grow-up in a perpetual system of ignorance hate and poverty. Those are the products of Islam. Non-muslims who mindlessly apologize for the horrible by products of this barbaric system are every bit a part of the problem and yet, especially in the west, have no excuse for their ignorance and cowardice.

There are how many billions of muslims in the world today? Whenever I ask someone to name me one islamic musician, they can only name Cat Stevens who, since his reversion or revulsion to islam, has stopped making his wonderful music. Thats what Islam does...sucks art out of existence...is the black hole of human creativity and you parrot some of the silliest pieces of propaganda out there.

    The usual excuse is that music takes up the place which prayer should occupy. Now if we take that to its natural conclusion, all things, save what is necessary to physically stay alive, should be banned. And most of us can see this is how Islam operates, nearly everything is 'haram'.

    It all suggests some kind of communal preparation for someone's personal goal, such as regional or even world domination, putting all other irrelevant distractions out of one's mind. It is quite similar to Japanese factories' morning group exercises to focus their minds of the teamwork goal in the day ahead. The regular 5 times a day prayer format controlled by loudspeakers is a great example of this ongoing brainwashing system.

    It is almost like Muslims are just waiting around until they secure their place in 'Paradise', some even complain when there is background music in educational programmes, failing to see the contradiction.

    What results is a totally backward, retrograde community which has no interest in advancing itself or preparing in any way for their children's future. Compare this to societies based on Christianity and you can clearly see the tragedy. What is the 'Muslim work ethic' exactly?

    In entrance of God, each and every human brain is certainly susceptible. There is indisputably approximately it. But although human brain is susceptible, prayer isn't the signal of weak point. And sure, a healthful brain demands prayer too!!! Human minds are susceptible therefore they succumb to lust, greed, anger, jealousy, hatred and worry. To triumph over those enemies one demands the supernatural drive of God. A correctly performed prayer is helping a individual to faucet into the common realization and derive vigor and idea from it to resolve disorders in lifestyles. Some disorders are inside the manipulate of people nonetheless a few disorders aren't. Have you learn the booklet "The vigour of unconscious brain"? You gets the reply!!!

    I am no follower of Islam and we are poles apart. But I have to say this that some of the great poets, singers and musicians have been muslims. It is the present day muslims that have reduced their religion to such low that the world has started hating them.

    I wish the present generation realises this and adopts the policy of "Live and let live" the world would be a much better place. I would wish such muslims the very best in their struggle to come out of the grip of fundamentalists and terrorists.

    I totally agree with you

    Also with (((Bob)))

    There's no way music can be harm full

    Of course you can have taste less music, but that doesn't do anything

    physically . Everybody has their favorite type of music, just like colors

    actually, I don't think anybody can argue that certain colors are harm full

    Also you need to protect your eardrums, but that's another story

    Peace

    Edit @ Bob

    No harm done here.

    Ppl don't have to agree on every single little bit

    We're individuals after all, viva le differance

    lol

    Peace

    You speak the truth.

    The only harmful music I can think of would be if a certain book was turned into a song.

    And that may be an awfully long and repetitive song.

    Sorry ((Erwin)) if you disagree with my answer after that edit ^

    A cure for the mentally sick?

    Hadiths are time specific,region specific and depend upon with what zeal the messenger dealt with his surroundings.During Jahilliya singing and music were associated with drinking just as trimming eyelashes and makeup were associated with prostitutes.

    Communal music such as live-concerts/theatres should be discouraged if it leads to one abandoning his prayers and purpose of life.. but you can on a personal basis.The prophet allowed music for eid festivals and marriage occasions.Its your intent, if your belief is not strong flow of music can affect you to become carefree/rebellious/stoical/losing sense of duty etc.And God knows best,it is He who forbade too much 'useless talk' and music is one aspect of it.

    Music distracts you, if you listen to it too much you'll become dependent upon it, if you turn it up it'll harm your ears, but most importantly.... it takes your focus away from Islam. That is all I need to know.

    Anyway....

    Recitation of the Quran is music enough for me.

    Salam 'alaikum,

    Music is of no harm. Too much music might distract one, howwver if one can listen in moderation how can you say music classifies as 'lahwl hadith'.
