The Relationship Between Music and Islam from the Perspective of Traditionalism And Its Criticism Based on the Qur'an

In several articles and speeches about music and its relationship with Islam, Hossein Nasr explained this relationship from the perspective of traditionalism. His analysis of the relationship between Islam and music is based on the permanence of music in a general sense and the art of music in its specific sense in Islamic society. Nasr first deals with the theoretical foundations that lead to the sanctity of music in the eyes of Islamic jurists and then tries to provide examples based on the tacit approval of religious leaders in the use of music in religious or non-religious customs and rituals. According to Nasr, the importance of the role of Sufism in the preservation, survival and promotion of music as a part of the cultural heritage of Islam is quite evident. This article tries to answer the points that cause doubts in the opinion of the author of the article by criticizing Hossein Nasr's opinions about the relationship between music and Islam based on the Qur'an in a qualitative and descriptive analytical way.
