"Muslim Theology and Islamic Mysticism" by Abdal Hakim Murad
Purchase the full-length lecture at or call 1-800-607-9810
After thoroughly addressing the first dimension of Islam in his first four lectures of this series, Abdal Hakim uniquely explores the final two dimensions in Islam of iman and ihsan. This talk, which consists of two parts, is another highly intellectual discourse about a vast religious science. The speaker begins by providing a historical background in an effort to identify the processes that brought this science about. This lecture effectively paints a colorful picture of the nature of the spiritual life in Islam and examines its foundation. What does the Qur'an say about these two types of higher knowledges, imam and ihsan? How does the Muslim come to know God if He cannot be seen? And what about the early Islamic controversies of free will vs. predestination and the existence or "problem" of evil? How does Islam answer the age-old philosophical questions of why the world exists and what the purpose of life is? (Recorded at the Dar al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar).
Other topics discussed: Emanuel Kant, the 99 names of God, the film "Barakah", the volition of God to c reate the universe, headlessness, thikr (meditation or contemplation) and the absence of symbols for God in Islam.

shaving your beard is not haram. neither is there any ban on music by the QURAN.
Quran is the ultimate source of law. ayahs and hadiths are secondary. god does not need humans to decree divine laws. if something is not banned in the quran, its not banned in islam.
"Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?" 6:114

That's right.
If music was haraam, then why does Al-Wahhabiya Fundamentalist State of Saudi Arabia have orchestra played in its national anthem?
If painting realistic portraits is haraam, then why do the kings of Saudi Arabia, have realistic painted portraits of themselves, including puritanical King Faisal?
Quran doesn't put any restrictions on this, what so ever.

Saudi Arabia is not an Islamic state or khalifate ... not just that, but there is no evidence in Islam for having a "national anthem" or even for "nationalism"... it's something imported from the Europe of the 19th century.

And yes... according to the Sunnah, Music is haram.
dutchabdullah (November 25, 2008 at 2:32 am)
That's not accurate... the Quran is the most important source for Sunni Sharia law but not the ONLY source... there's the ahadith as well. I think you'll find Music is haram and there is a very good reason for it.

but u must understand that the quran is the divine source of law. all other laws that are not from god's books are man made. if a culture deems music to be unacceptable and prohibits it, its up to the people whether they want to accept it. but if the ruling body is calling it the will of god without the source material of the quran or the past books of god, it can be determined as hearsay.
the hadiths are man made books about the alleged sayings of the prophet muhammad.

they come from hadiths. man made texts about his alleged sayings that were written down much much later after his death
