It is Haraam (strictly prohibited) to listen to gospels. As Muslims, we
should restrict ourselves to the guidance of the Qur’aan and Ahaadith of our
beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). They contain in them guidance
and directive for every walk of life.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
after reading this i remember during my primary school days, a regular morning service/assembly used to be held and we were sat into rows and given hymn books and the whole school sang songs like shalom shalom may peace be with you and even at that time i had a feeling that being a muslim i shouldn’t read them and now i have been proven right

im glad u said it.... i didnt wanna put my foot in it again
frankly.. i feel closer to God when i listen to a well harmonized and rehearsed choir than the cacophonic 'salaam' that emerges at the end of a melaaad..
We have to be different from the disbelievers and worship Allah Ta’ala the way his Messenger (peace be upon him) taught us not the way the disbelievers claim to worship Him.
Besides most Christian Hymns contain polytheism, praising Jesus (peace be upon him) the way only Allah (the Exalted) should be praised.

I don't see a difference between the way most Muslims praise Muhammed and the way a majority of Christians praise Jesus. Most Muslims actually take their devotion to Muhammed a step further by imitating the way Muhammed brushed his teeth, cut his pubic hair, drank water, etc, etc. Sounds like worship to me.
Seminole we try to imitate and follow Muhammad Mustafa (peace and blessings be upon him) in every aspect of our lives because he was the perfect model for humanity. He lived his life the way Allah wanted him to live it. We follow his teachings and actions and love and respect him but we do not worship him or believe he is divine. Only our Lord God Allah the Exalted is worthy of worship.
Christians on the other hand believe Jesus Christ (peace and blessings be upon him) is the son of Allah or part of Allah in the trinity, which is polytheism.
^ So Muslims have such a weak faith that if they hear a gospel, they will become polytheists at once, and should therefore not be allowed to hear them?

Hearing and listening to something are two different things.
Zahir hai, buri cheez sunnein se bura asr part hai.
If a Muslim believes that another religion apart from Islam can bring him/her some sort of spiritual satisfaction or bring him/her closer to Allah then they are wrong because in front of God only Islam is a valid religion.
I didn’t make these rules up Allah did if you got a problem with it then to you be your religion and to me mine.
I don’t want a debate or anything because unlike some people I have a life outside my computer room.

Here is a definition of worship, does not your idolizatoin of Muhammed qualify? wor·ship - 1. The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
2. The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
To say something is haraam is an Islamic decree and needs to have a little more proof than personal opinion. Being an Islamic decree it needs proof from the traditions, Quran, sunnah, Hadiths etc.
This is not to say people cannot express their personal opinions! They sure can and should be allowed to.
Anyway, if you don’t know, many of churches also sings gospels from Plasms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes etc. from the old testament. The compilers/authors of these books/chapters include among others David (Hazrat Daud :as: ), Solomon (Hazrat Suleman :as: ). Some of the same prayers with a little different wording have been preserved by Qur’an as well. So, if you read these books, you can find traces of the same subject matter as is explained in Qur’an. And to say that listening to such books is ‘haraam’ will be totally out of the context.
Not to mention there are several Ahadiths that mention that Hazrat Omar (ra) among other Sahabas used to go to the Jews in Medina and listen to the Rabbis preaching through the old testament! They did it out of respect for the prophets of Israel and because all prophets & their teachings are from the same Allah!!
