Imaamul Aarifeen, Qudwatul Ulama, Abu Ali Ruhaazi (rahmatullah alayh) responded beautifully to the following question which was posed to him: ‘A person enjoys himself with musical instruments and claims that this is permissible for him because he had attained such a position where changing states do not have any affect on him.’ He responded to this question: ‘Yes, he has indeed attained a position.

  1. tabla and harmonium which nusrat fateh ali khan used in his music
  2. the theme tunes for khabarnama and other tv shows
  3. the windows startup theme when you put on your computer
  4. all music at weddings
  5. the pakistan national anthem

what i understood from your post was that because so many people are listening or creating music in so many different ways it can't possibly be considered bad in islam. there was a while back a remarkable statistical analysis of how there are more non muslims than muslims in the world so if we go by that standarad(majority wala) islam doesn't ring a bell to begin with.

Re: Is playing a guitar really unislamic?

we are not talking about baning something, we are talking understanding on individual level. Your quoted post has a big if first of all in the begining and secondly you can only look upto to Prophet saw as an example while meriting things on religious basis ,not muslims generally. Muslims are fallible like the rest of human species.

Re: Is playing a guitar really unislamic?

its not an if. it was introduced by the moors.
anyway u go ahead and do whatever u want this topic is rather boring now. the only thing i regret is that mr syedabdualah and his mate will be chucking away the guitar for no good reason.
