Hi everyone and welcome. This is the Apostate Prophet.
I hope you are having a great week.
I am personally having a good week
and listening to a lot of music.
Music is amazing. It can alter your mood quickly.
It can make you feel happy, it can cheer you up,
it can accompany you and be like a friend.
Very often music makes you feel better
and creating music is amazing.
If you have children or if you are familiar,
then you probably know that even babies react to music.
They are fascinated when they hear steady beats
and they move their body and smile.
Even though no-one taught them to act that way.
That is how great music is.
And scientifically explained,
we humans love music
because there are patterns in music
and humans love patterns.
So, loving music is completely inherent and natural.
Every culture has music.
Even uncontacted tribes have
their own type of primitive music that they dance to.
But not every culture is so fond
and approves of something that is so wonderful
and that we all inherently love.
Islam is, as far as I can see,
the only major culture that is so much against music.
There are some regulations
in other, smaller denominations of major religions.
But they are never against music altogether.
I can't say the same thing about dancing, sadly.
Now, this topic is a widely discussed topic
among Muslims and their scholars.
Rather moderate Muslims think
that only immoral music is not allowed,
while the more religious moderate Muslims think
that music is allowed if it doesn't have instruments.
The more religious side --
which is always the more reliable one --
says that music is only allowed
if it is very mildly, not accompanied with instruments
and only for Allah and any other good purpose,
that is, religious.
Having heavy music instruments and dancing around
is not seen as halal.
Even though some Sunni Muslims
nowadays want to explain how music is actually totally fine,
the four scholars of Sunni Islam have all agreed
that music with instruments for entertainment
is not permitted.
This is mostly based on a Hadith that goes as follows:
And it goes on with total lunacy
about destruction and transformation.
I don't even want to get into that now.
So, the Hadith, as you can see,
lists three things that are haram in Islam,
which are illegal sexual intercourse, that's very clear,
silk is forbidden for men to wear,
and alcohol is also completely forbidden in Islam.
Mohammed counts musical instruments in the same sentence
and lists them together
and says some bad Muslims will make instruments halal.
This Hadith is completely authentic.
Yet in today's time, Muslims try to explain
why music is totally fine.
Sufis, Islamic mythicists,
started to legalize musical instruments
as early as in the 11th century.
And many of them still use few instruments
for their crazy chantings,
while some of them don't.
We could see this as a prophecy miracle by Mohammed,
that there are actually people
who think that musical instruments are permitted.
Or we could just think
that humans just tend to follow their human desires,
instead of listening to everything
that a desert warlord in the 7th century said.
Also, the hadith goes on saying
that such people will be destroyed
and some turned into monkeys and pigs.
As far as I know, there is no historical evidence
that any people turned into monkeys and pigs so far.
As mentioned, Sufis or mythicists,
are not against music altogether.
They are only against immoral music.
So, they won't possibly let you listen to all the Western music.
They use limited musical instruments in their chantings.
And while doing that, in some Sufi orders,
men also dance together.
If you can call that dancing.
They need to pimp up their music and dances
really, really badly.
If you are looking for awesome music
from the Islamic world,
there are too many countries
from which you can't get any music at all.
From some you can get only recordings and no videos.
And if there are videos,
then there are usually only men as artists
and there are no men and women dancing together.
Some countries in the Islamic world
don't care about Islamic regulations on music at all.
Like Turkey, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
In other countries like Pakistan, Indonesia or Tunisia,
you can see female singers and dancers.
But you can see that they are obviously careful
about how they dress, what they sing and how they move.
Countries like Pakistan or Turkey
also have heavy Sufi influence
and they take Sufi teachings as correct Islamic teachings.
Which some others really don't approve of.
In many countries in the Islamic world,
dancing is strictly forbidden
and it's even stated in the laws explicitly.
In some other countries like Saudi-Arabia,
there is no direct law that talks about dancing.
But dancing is seen as immoral act or spreading immorality
and is cracked down on.
Female dancers are totally out of question, of course.
All of this is not a coincidence.
Mohammed clearly said
that music is disallowed in Islam.
While the Quran talks in many verses
multiple times about idle talks and voices,
which majorly accepted scholars in Islam
and even companions of Mohammed
have accepted and interpreted as music being haram in Islam,
in Hadith, there are just too many that forbid music.
There are some Hadiths which say
that some slaves were singing
and Mohammed had nothing against it
because it was an Islamic holiday.
But the same Hadith
calls musical instruments tools of Satan
and all old Islamic scholars agreed
that that was just an exception
for non-Muslims and slaves back then.
And that it is clear that music is forbidden in Islam.
As mentioned before,
all four scholars of Sunni Islam agreed upon that.
And Sunni Muslims have to follow them.
There is no other way.
As for Shia Islam, music is seen in the same way, bad and forbidden.
Mohammed also said that having singing slaves
is absolutely haram.
And that whoever sits and listens to female singers sing,
will have molten metal poured into his ears.
From all of this, we can clearly understand
that music as we know it today,
is completely forbidden in Islam.
Only singing that is for the religion is permitted,
and that is limited as well.
All of this is weird
because Islam hates so many things
that people just inherently love to have and to do.
Islam bans music and dancing,
even though it claims to be based on and fulfilling the Bible,
which totally endorses singing.
Today, more and more Muslims go against these rules
and even make Islamic explanations
on why music should be considered normal.
That's good progress but it's not Islamic.
It goes out of the religion and that's why I'm talking about it.
People who want to follow their personal liberties,
should realize that it is Islam,
the religion, the ideology itself
that bans those liberties, that restricts those things.
The solution is not to reinterpret Islamic teachings,
that are obviously against personal liberties.
The solution is to abolish Islam
in order to be human again and to be free again.
I will surely make more of these videos
because I want to show more and more
how Islam is against personal liberties,
how Islam is against everything that you love and like.
Thanks for watching.
