Islam has a rich history of music, with the use of music in religious practice dating back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. However, there are different views on the use of music within the Islamic community. Some view it as a permissible form of expression, while others view it as haram, or forbidden.

Forms of Islamic Music

Talawat

One of the most important forms of Islamic music is the recitation of the Quran, which is often accompanied by instrumental music. This practice is known as Talawat and is considered an important form of worship.

Nasheeds

In addition to the recitation of the Quran, there are other forms of Islamic music, such as nasheeds, which are religious songs that are sung a cappella or accompanied by percussion instruments.

Use of Instruments

The use of instruments in Islamic music has been a topic of debate among scholars. Some believe that the use of instruments is haram, while others believe that it is permissible as long as the music is not used for sinful purposes. Traditionally, instruments such as the oud, rabab, and daf have been used in Islamic music.

Overall, music has played an important role in Islamic culture and worship, with various forms of music being used in different contexts and settings. While there are differing views on the use of music within the Islamic community, it continues to be an important part of Islamic worship and expression.
