Music kills the heart wallahi💔

Reciter

No, it does not. This is reflected in the lives of some of the greatest Qur'an reciters. Shaykh Abd al-Basit Abd al-Samad openly admired and listened to Umm Kulthum, herself a hafiza of the Qur'an, while Shaykh Mustafa Isma'il mastered the maqamat through musicians, played the oud, and maintained a vast collection of Western classical music. These examples alone refute the oft-repeated claim, and the modern slogan derived from it, that "the Qur'an and music cannot coexist in the same heart." Nor was this phenomenon confined to Egypt. Sabri Moudallal, the Chief Mu'adhdhin of the Umayyad Mosque in Aleppo, a hafiz of the Qur'an, and one of the greatest masters of the Aleppine musical tradition, regularly performed with a traditional takht ensemble. The same was true of the renowned Syrian munshid, qari', hafiz of the Qur'an, and master of the Seven Qira'at, Adib al-Dayikh, who belonged to the same musical and devotional circles. Musical training did not prevent these men from excelling in Qur'anic recitation. On the contrary, it deepened their command of the maqamat that gave their recitation its extraordinary beauty. Consider the largest Muslim nation on Earth: Indonesia. The Islamization of Java—the heartland of the world's largest Muslim population—was advanced by utilizing traditional Gamelan instruments for dawah. In the most successful, organic expansion of Islam in history, musical instruments served as a bridge, not a barrier to the faith. Throughout Islamic history, numerous jurists, scholarly lineages, and Sufi orders permitted all musical instruments if the context is clean. Way more than the few commonly known names such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Hazm and maybe Abu Bakr ibn al-'Arabi. Now, let me end with what the Sheikh al-Islam and Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar Hassan al-Attar said in the 19th century: "He who is not moved by delicate poetry, recited with the tongue of stringed instruments, on the banks of rivers, in the shade of trees, is a coarse-natured donkey."

Maa shaa Allah

Reciter please?
