(1) Hadhrat Abu Maalik Ash'ari (radhiyallahu anhu) says that he heard Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) say: "Most certainly, there will be in my Ummah people who will make lawful fornication, silk, liquor and musical instruments." (Bukhaari)

(2) In another version of this narration, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Most certainly, people from my Ummah will consume liquor which they will describe with some other name. Over their heads will be playing musical instruments and singing girls. Allah will cause the earth to swallow them, and from among them He will transform into apes and pigs." (Ibn Maajah)

The punishment for music and singing is exceptionally severe. Some juhhaal (ignoramuses) have attempted to escape the condemnation of music and singing stated in this Hadith by presenting a very stupid argument. They argue that the punishment mentioned in this Hadith applies to a collective act which consists of four deeds, viz., fornication, silk, liquor and music.

It is their contention that musical instruments by themselves are not evil, hence not haraam. o­nly when used together with the haraam acts will it also become haraam, hence the Hadith mentions it along with the other three sinful deeds. The logical conclusion of this absurd argument is that if fornication is committed in isolation of the other three deeds, it will be lawful. Similarly, if liquor is consumed alone, i.e. without the accompaniment of music, fornication, and silken garments, it will be halaal. Similarly, wearing silk will be permissible for males according to this ludicrous logic if it is unaccompanied by the other three acts. The absurdity of this fallacious argument is self-evident. There is no need for discussing it further.

This Hadith is an unambiguous assertion of the hurmat (being haraam/prohibition) of musical instruments. In this Hadith, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) uses the word (Yasta-hil-loona, i.e. they will make lawful). He mentioned four acts which people in the later ages would make lawful, viz. fornication, liquor, silk and music. This presupposes that these acts are haraam. It is meaningless to say that a lawful act will be made lawful. This absurdity is the consequence of the stupid and false contention of the proponents of music and singing. A haraam act is made lawful, and this is precisely what Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said.

The time will dawn when Muslims will make halaal these four haraam acts. In fact, all four evils have already been made 'halaal' in Muslim lands and by Muslim communities all over the world. There is almost unanimity of the stupid masses and the juhhaal deviate modernists o­n the 'permissibility' of music and singing. Alcohol in a variety of forms and labels has been given the green light by even the Ulama in most countries. Males don silk without even having heard of its prohibition. Fornication is actively promoted in the form of legalized prostitution in Muslim countries and at secular educational institutions. The Bangladesh Supreme Court transgressed all limits of shamelessness by declaring that prostitutes have the right to earn a living by means of prostitution. This shaitaani court ordered the Bangladeshi government to release all imprisoned prostitutes and to refrain from hampering them in the filthy trade of their bodies. These lesser signs of Qiyaamah are materializing right in front of our eyes. In some quarters an attempt has been made to assail the authenticity of this Hadith. Much has been written by the authorities of the Shariah in vindication of this Hadith's authenticity. Here it will suffice to say that this Hadith is highly authentic. It is bereft of any blemishes. The gravity of the chastisement - disfiguration and transformation into apes and swines - should be more than adequate to jolt Muslims into the realisation that music is a crime with which o­ne dares not trifle.

THE QUR’AAN —the Shariah of Islam—brands haraam food products ‘MAITAH’ or carrion. Maitah is spiritually as well as physically diseased and injurious. Lured and spurred o­n by monetary designs, men have banded together in organisations to achieve their monetary and worldly designs in the name of the Deen and at the expense of polluting the Imaan of the ignorant and avaricious masses by convincing them of the ‘permissibility’ of devouring carrion under the confounded and accursed ‘halaal’ logos which they churn out for o­nly money, and for nothing else.

The most despicable votaries of the rotten ‘halaal’-certification trade are the molvies who have acquiesced to being bed-fellows with the conglomerate of luckless souls who have absolutely no care and concern for the Aakhirah and the Accountability in the Divine Court.

has saved his Deen and his honour." (Hadith)

These molvies who support and condone the satanic trade of this haraam enterprise have brought insult and disgrace, not o­nly o­n themselves, but o­n the sacred Edifice of Ilm-e-Deen. Did they pursue higher Deeni Uloom academically to become loathsome and silly inspectors to ‘supervise’ the plants of the pork-devourers and to promote their wares?

Did they acquire the Ilm of the Deen to break down Muslim inhibition to haraam by watering down the age old Muslim revulsion of accepting meat products from the hands of non-Muslims? The worst type of ‘learned’ man is the o­ne who pursues the knowledge of the Deen for the acquisition of the dunya.

While the primary and fundamental obligation of the Ulama is to safeguard the Shariah, admonish the masses and resolutely execute the Waajib duty of Amr Bil Ma’roof Nahy Anil Munkar, the molvies aligned with the rotten ‘halaal’ certification ventures, abandoning their sacred office, and hankering after the pittance which the certification entrepreneurs pay, squander their time and the public’s money acquired by way of haraam monetary transactions.

"Verily, the Ulama are the Heirs of the Ambiya." (Hadith)

Men who are supposed to be among the Warathatul Ambiya, moving in the Shadow of the Nabi to execute the Mission which He had delivered from the Heavens to mankind, stupidly expend their brains and energy to devise methods for promoting the meat products and sales of the devourers of khinzeer and khamr.
