Islam never forbid music...

Sometimes people follow religion blindly and they forget to use their logic.  Scholars don't do enough to prevent people from doing this, because usually blind followers (sheep) are the most loyal to scholars.

So, this brings about the whole issue of music in Islam.  I tested it out on a Muslim family yesterday.  They were a pretty typical Muslim immigrant family in America, the parent was middle aged and had moved here about 10 years ago, and the kids were approaching their teens.  They were sitting their all watching TV, flipping channels, till they noticed some America Idol style show, and the contestant on the TV show was doing a cover of Shania Twain's "Your Still The One" and it was no big deal, they were just watching and relaxing.

So a few minutes later, I went to the computer and downloaded Shania Twain "Your Still The One" and started playing it at a low volume through the computer speakers.  Immediately, there was a problem, and the 10 year old child rushed over to me as if something horribly bad was happening, and said "why are you listening to music", as if it was something forbidden.

...do you get my point?  Where is the logic.  So it's not music if it is on the television, but it is music if it comes out of computer speakers?   Also, how does one determine what is and isn't music... isn't the birds chirping in the morning music?  What about the sounds of nature?  There is music all around us everywhere we go.

Read through the whole Qu'ran and you will not find any mention of music being banned.  And you will also find in the Qu'ran that Allah says to not make anything forbidden that Allah hasn't made forbidden.  So if Allah hasn't made music forbidden in the Qu'ran, then nobody can make it forbidden.  As for the Prophet Muhammad supposedly saying that some forms of music were forbidden, this is weak hadith, and even the companions of the Prophet are recorded in Sudanese history as falling in love with the music in Sudan when they travelled there.

This hadith and sunnah thing is blown way out of proportion.  Allah never once in the Qu'ran tells the believers to follow Muhammad's hadith or Muhammad's sunnah.  Rather, Allah says in the Qu'ran to follow ALLAH's sunnah and the QU'RAN's hadith.

ya'll feel me?

Does the Quran say anything specific about the hijab either? Or is it just a generalization about women dressing modestly?
