i havent stopped. thats one major reason why i cant become all that religious. i love my music sooo much!

Answer 2

pretty awesome. Nasheed sounds and is way better then demonic music. for all the people who cant stop listening to Music, then you are Brainwashed plain and simple. Music was created for the sole purpose of Brainwashing Masses and it works. the pont of brainwashing is that the person has no idea that he is Brainwashed.

Personally there is NO way I could live without music! literally. I love hard rock and the beatles and what not and Im STILL a Christian!

Answer 9

i dont understand why would you stop listening to music even for religious reasons...they have gospel music or like spiritual music?

Answer 10

i cant imagine my life without music. how could it improve? Music is an expression of emotion... why would any religion want to suppress your inner emotions? I guess i just cant conceive the idea

Answer 11

What does listening to music have to do with religion?? Music is healthy for you, and thats scientific fact.

Answer 12

I would never give up listening to music. That would lower the quality of my life.

Answer 13

Jesus, God does not want you to stop listening to music, he wants you to enjoy life(not without music) just listen responsibly

Answer 14

I cant imagine what it would be like to be deprived completely of music. My religion (Im Baptist) does not restrict listening to music. If you mean "worldly" music, I guess my life could be better without it, truthfully. I do find some of the content in songs/compositions offensive and degrading, even. But all in all, I cant imagine my life improving solely because of ceasing to listen to music.

Answer 15

Me too! I stopped listening entirely, and Alhamdulillah, my heart feels a lot less heavier, and I feel good about not depending on music to lift my mood, or make me feel better. Music only becomes a dependency once you let it. So does television. So does your phone. So does the computer. Theyre all such time-wasters, sometimes.

Answer 16

which religion requires you to stop listening to music? (just curious) anyway, i wont stop listent to music no matter what.. music is life, like everyone says.

Answer 17

Well...I feel more purified wen I dont listen to ego became quieter.

Answer 18

Music helps me to relax and unwind... Besides, its great for improving the mood in the bedroom, if you know what I mean. ;-P And there is plenty of secular music out there that still brings God to mind... Some of Nine Inch Nails instrumental stuff is absolutely beautiful.

Answer 19

Listening to music for me, has done nothing but horrible things. I feel further away from God when I blast music in my ears. Not good.

Answer 20

i would die if i couldnt listen to music. even if i had to give up listening to it, id still make it. music is as important as the air i breath.

Answer 21

Answer 22

I am ashamed to say that i havent stopped listening to music, but i am HAPPY to say that allhumdullilah like after Ramadan my interest in music and my desire for it has lessened by like 60% i can totally go my whole day and even week sometimes without feeling the need to listen to music!! its a great feeling...

Answer 23

oh its way better.... listening to music keeps one away from God so its good if we stopped

Answer 24

I NEVER stopped listening to Music. However, I was perhaps NEVER a fan of Music. I listen to VERY few and VERY selected songs. I never took the sayings about Music as serious. Because I never found it in the Quran. Those are just misinterpretations and back at the age of 20-22 years, it was so evident to me.

Answer 25

nasheeds are totally awesome! native deen rocks. but lessening how much you listen to it is very good. Salam!

Answer 26

Honestly Im sad to say that I was shocked at some of the answers posted here. To the point were I searched up a fatwa for those who are believers, And remind them, for truly the believers benefit from being reminded. (Surat adh-Dhariyat: 55) /en/ref/50687/music know that... Those who took their religion as a diversion and a game, and were deluded by the life of the world. Today We will forget them just as they forgot the encounter of this Day and denied Our Signs. (Surat al-Araf: 51) Honestly, it took me a while to drop the music thing. For a long time I was allowed to listen to music under the condition that it contained clean lyrics and no sexual references. Once i grew up enough to look into islam more, i discovered the errors of music. I remember my dad once saying to me, have you ever watched them dancing to the music they listen to with the sound muted? LOL, i remembered that and how funny i thought they looked. Seriously though, THEY LOOKED POSSESSED. and thats what they were. simple as that. I began to notice the effect of music in the mind. How it stays locked in there and you can be doing anything, including prayer, and just one whisper brings back a line from the lyrics, which in turn brings the song etc... So my heart was being blocked. My mind was no longer controllable by me. I lost myself. And people listen to music to loose themselves. Islam doesnt want you to lose. Therefore I slowly slowly, gave it all up. Alhamdulellah, Ive deleted all the songs (and yea it took a while for that too) and replaced it with lectures that benefit me soo much more. My husband and I decided no tv in our home, but occasionally we do watch a good movie on the computer with our daughter. Quran is something that should never be taken for granted. The recitations are beautiful and the meanings are huge. Theres this saying i love so much for my fellow sisters and brothers... "Verily, each verse is like a date: the more you chew it, the more of its sweetness is ; - - - Bishr bin as-Sirri Since then, I promise you we have total control of our lives. (And alhamdulellah my husband doesnt listen to music either) Our minds are now OURS, our bodies dont become detached from us. I feel clean, because my mind is clean. And for those that say music is healthy. There are many other healthier things out their for your mind, body and soul. Just like Allah created more than one way to obtain your vitamin C, protein, potassium, etc.. (if someones allergic to bananas, great source of potassium, they can always take tomatoes), if someone looks for a way to save themselves they have lots of ways to do it. Some may resort to ending their lives so they dont have to suffer anymore, and some may realize their true purpose. Simple as that. lol...

Answer 27

Peace. Not stopped, but rather has changed musical orientation. Im Muslim, now I listen to percussions, eg. Daff music.
