So why wouldn't music be something to understanding the creator? minus those types that Patty mentioned Birds sing and make songs, which can be musical in itself, I guess birds aren't honouring the creator |

Of course God gave us many talents. My husband is a brilliant artist, but he would never paint anything pornographic. The same goes with music or dance. For instance, I love the ballet and the waltz. But I would never go watch a strip show, where the girls/guys are very seductive in their "dancing". He gave many the gift of writing, and we are so fortunate to have many fine authors (I love to read), but this too can be misused. Personally I would not choose to "read" a Playboy or Playgirl or Hustler magazine. Nothing said or shown their to honor God (is there.)? The bottom line is HOW we use the talents God gave us. I think we all know which talents are appropriate and ones which our Lord would approve of, and those which He would find insulting, vulgar, and contemptable. I agree with Salman on this one.

TYes talents, there is a group called Sweet Honey in the Rock. It is an African American female a cappella ensemble with deep roots in the African-American churches. There is one woman Ysaye Maria Barnwell who can sing five octaves. I�ve never heard anyone before and since quite life her. So yes this talent is from Allah...

music is not the thing that should be used to understand the Creator (Allah). to understand the Creator, Allah has revealed the glorious Qur'an to the final prophet of Allah, that is, Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Qur'an is a book full of guidance to mankind from the Lord of the alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). and all of mankind has been ordered by Allah to believe in Allah, to worship Allah (alone), to believe in the Qur'an which has been revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and to follow the commandments of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
ofcourse , birds do celebrate the praises of their Creator (Allah). all that is in the heavens and on the earth and all that is between them celebrate the praises of their Creator. Allah is not in need of his creation, but the creation is in need of Allah. |

you are being too scientific israfil. Allah did not order mankind to use his talent for creating music. |

You contradicted yourself Salman. I'm more inclined with your second paragraph The scriptures don't help me personally to understand the creator, give me science, give me creative stuff like music, the world around us, people and at this moment can't think of any more Scriptures to me is only one part of so many things to understand the creator |

Salaam All, All scholars have unanimous view on the prohibition of all forms of singing and music that incites debauchery, indecency, or sin. As for musical instruments, given the weakness of the evidence indicating that they are forbidden, the rule to be applied here is the one states that all things are originally deemed permissible as long as there is no Shari`ah text that prohibits them.
