Is music considered haram in Islam?

Question

I heard that accapello(no instruments) music was the only kind permitted in Islam religion.

Answer 1

If so, I hope god will forgive me. I am in love with music. It is one of the best art form in the entire world. Without music, I think the world would be such a dark place.

Answer 2

Well to be honest, this is one of the most absurd questions i have ever seen about Islam.

and i live in US. So i thought i get the most absurd questions here.

Anyway, to take your question seriously and answer it, No. It is not haram. No music can be haram in Islam. I have never heard something like that. Islam has its own music, ryhtms and melodies.  It would be a huge conflict.

the only absurd question is the one not ask.

Answer 3

I do know there are muslims who believe music is haram, no negotiations. I agree without music the world would be a darker place. I suppose some music can also make the world a darker place. Good debate.

Answer 4

I have heard that the profet muhammed sws said that there are only two instrumments thar are alowed, a special arabic drum and the tamburin. haven't you heard that there is a punishment after this life. if you have listend to music there will be really hot needle burned in the hellfire, in to your ears. so people if you want to seek knowledge be aware with who you are asking because somepeople just says that they are muslims, but do they fallow the five pillers of islam if they did that by heart they wouldn't need to listen to music. They could read the quran and seeking good deeds.
