What is the Difference between a Muslim Brother and a Non Muslim Brother? Why are Musical Instruments Prohibited in Islam? – Dr Zakir Naik
COGQA-9
Questioner: I am Apaul. My profession, I’m a post-graduate teacher. You call me as a ‘brother’ then what is the difference between the brother and Muslim brother? Second one, I saw that in the exhibition there is the musical instrument put into your… you are not suppose to them, musical instrument. My brothers are not suppose to use the musical instrument means some of the instruments make the mind calm and brings a alpha level. That is Qadar Ibrahim, Malaysia he said that. So is it is the correct reason? I want a correct reason.
Dr. Zakir: Brother asked two questions. The first question is that you call me ‘brother’ so what’s the difference me and the Muslim? There are 2 types of brother in Islam. One is brother in humanity, one is brother in faith. Now all the human beings whether Muslim or Non Muslim he is my brother in humanity because we have common grandparents, Adam and Eve, correct? Now a Muslim is my brother in faith. So if you accept Islam, if you accept, if you submit your will to God from brother of humanity I will call you brother in Faith. So today if you say fine I want to submit my will to God, I want to get peace so from brother I will call you brother in faith.
Two types of brothers, brother in humanity, brother in faith.
Coming to your second question. In the exhibition you saw a cross on the musical instruments; some musical instruments bring serenity, calmness to the mind according to some Malaysian you quoted. So why is it prohibited? If you read there are various hadith of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) who has prohibited Musical instruments, he did permit duff, one side open drum. During weddings, during Eid etc. but as far as all the other instruments are concerned he prohibited it. The reason is because these musical instruments they take you away from All Mighty God and we see this today. The musical instruments, the string instruments, the flute. You know you have rock shows going on and people get frenzy, they take out their clothes and they dance. You hear the film song you know film song, it has music, it is meaningless ‘ek, doh, teen’ What ek, doh, teen? ek, doh, teen, chaar, paanch, che, saat, aath and we keep on repeating, what we keep on repeating? And then we hear the song the hero telling the heroine
“Mein tumhare liye chaand tod ke leke aanuga, mein tumhare liye sitaare tod ke le kein aanuga”
“I’ll get the moon for you, I’ll get the stars for you”
We know it is illogical. Can a lover get a star for the girl? Can he? No but yet we recite why? Music… So with music you go in a Trans and you don’t realize what you are saying and you keep on repeating it. So it takes you away from the truth, takes you away from Al Mighty God. That’s the reason in Islam our beloved Prophet (pbuh), to prevent you from getting intoxicated, it may have some good points also but the loss is more. As the Qur’an says in Surah Baqarah ch. 2 verse no. 219
“When they ask you concerning intoxicants, alcohol tell them in it there is loss and profit but the loss is more than profit.”
In alcohol as a medical doctor I know, you know the beer it keeps you warm. So people tell me Brother Zakir you know the beer is good it keeps you warm. I say if you want to keep yourself warm have honey. Honey will keep you more warm but the honey doesn’t have the kick …
