music, my brothers and sisters, puts you into a false state. it messes with your emotions. can we honestly say that when we indulge in music that allah is in our hearts and minds at the same time? unless it being about praising Allah. i read somewhere ,and you might correct me on this, that the satans are attracted to the sound of wind and string instruments. the state music puts us in is falsehood. it takes us away from the realities of life. islam puts peace inside of us in dealing with this life. i heard that if you listen to music of this life, Allah will not give you the music of paradise ,which the music of this life does not even compare with. that is why i gave up something i loved very much. : ![[Image: biggrin.gif]](http://www.islamsms.com/bb/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
