Imām Ibn al-Qayyim said in his Nūnīyah:
“By Allah, the one who is addicted to
listening music will never be free from joining [others] with The Most
Merciful.
As the heart is the house [where] Allah, the Majestic, [is
singled out] with love and sincerity along with Ihsān.
If it is attached to music, it makes it a slave to every
male and female [singer].”
Shaykh Khalīl Harrās commented upon these lines of poetry:
Consider what we witness in these days from the attachment
of some of this nation to those who gained fame through singing and music, from
the likes of Umm Kulthūm, ‘Abdul Wahhāb, ‘Abdul Halīm Hāfidh, Sabāh and others.
Verily, you do not find the majority of this nation except that they are slaves of
these individuals, and they have been afflicted through them with the greatest
affliction.
To the extent that young boys and girls memorize their songs
by heart and it is possible that many of them have not memorized the opening
Surah of the Book [Fatihah].
