Stop listening to Music- it's Satanic Noise

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

If I can do it, anyone can. I LOVED Somali music, RNB, you name it. It was very addictive, but after a long battle of stopping, and starting again, Alhamdulilah I am finally Music free, and clean for a few months now.

If I can do it, so can all of you.

Ramadan is the BEST time to detox, because your fast is invalid if you listen to Music, and then when you break your fast, are you really going to listen to music? Use what's left of this month to fight for your soul.

there is no verse or ayah or hadith that explicitly bans music, only if it gets in the way of your worship, listening to it in moderation is not bad at all, especially if it doesn't promote bad behavior, calling all music satanic is simply an overgeneralization, not all music is mainstream and I fail to see how listening to MJ, frou frou or lofi once in a while will throw you into a satanic spiral. Some rap like kendrick lemar can actually speak on societal issues in an eloquent manner.
As long as you aren't listening to a whole cardi B album in one sitting, I'd say there's really no downside if you're on your dean and if it doesn't distract you

Eveidence from the Quran
Allah says in Surah Luqman:

“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allah…” [Luqman 31:6]

The scholar of the ummah, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: this means singing . Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: this means playing the drum (tabl). (Tafsir al-Tabari, 21/40)

Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: this ayah was revealed concerning singing and musical instruments (lit. woodwind instruments). (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 3/451)

Al-Sa’di (may Allah have mercy on him) said: this includes all manner of haram speech, all idle talk and falsehood, and all nonsense that encourages kufr and disobedience; the words of those who say things to refute the truth and argue in support of falsehood to defeat the truth; and backbiting, slander, lies, insults and curses; the singing and musical instruments of the Shaytan; and musical instruments which are of no spiritual or worldly benefit. (Tafsir al-Sa’di, 6/150)

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“The interpretation of the Sahabah and Tabi'in, that ‘idle talk’ refers to singing, is sufficient. This was reported with sahih isnad from Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn Mas’ud. Abu’l-Sahba said: I asked Ibn Mas’ud about the ayah (interpretation of the meaning), ‘“And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks’ [Luqman 31:6]. He said: By Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, this means singing – and he repeated it three times. It was also reported with a sahih isnad from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that this means singing.

All the scholars and ulema agree on a consensus that singing and music is referred to as idle talk

Evidence from Hadith

Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not sell singing slave women, do not buy them and do not teach them. There is nothing good in this trade, and their price is haram. Concerning such things as this the ayah was revealed (interpretation of the meaning): {And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allah…} [Luqman 31:6].” (Hasan hadith)

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zina, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhari ta’liqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsul by al-Tabarani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Sahihah by al-Albani, 91)

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is a sahih hadith narrated by al-Bukhari in his Saheeh, where he quoted it as evidence and stated that it is mu’allaq and majzum. He said: Chapter on what was narrated concerning those who permit alcohol and call it by another name.

This hadith indicates in two ways that musical instruments and enjoyment of listening to music are haram. The first is the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “[they] permit” which clearly indicates that the things mentioned, including musical instruments, are haram according to shari’ah, but those people will permit them. The second is the fact that musical instruments are mentioned alongside things which are definitely known to be haram, i.e., zina and alcohol: if they (musical instruments) were not haram, why would they be mentioned alongside these things? (adapted from al-Silsilah al-Sahihah by al-Albani, 1/140-141)

Shaykh al-Islam (Ibn Taymiyah) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This hadith indicates that ma’azif are haram, and ma’azif means musical instruments according to the scholars of (Arabic) language. This word includes all such instruments. (al-Majmu’, 11/535).

It’s in the quran. Allah says in Surah Luqman:

Furthermore listening to Music is a catalyst for failure

The same word الغو is used here for idle talk

For those with high aspersions, avoiding idle talk ,is mentioned near the top of this list of things Allah mentions are the traits of the successful

you might notice most people who listen to music excessively are in a humiliating position this isn’t just a symptom of failure but what they’re listening to is actually a causation

That listening impedes your constructive uses of time , possibly even wraps time

Your brain releases chemicals that you release to reward you for productivity when nothing is actually achieved

Years will pass in a happy foggy haze

Even if you personally don’t have high aspirations, that habit rubbing off on your siblings, children, or nephews and nieces could hamper their potential productivity
