What is the ruling on Islamic nasheeds?

Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on listening to a lot of Islamic nasheeds?

Answer:
These are not Islamic nasheeds; they are songs. Calling them Islamic is a mistake. Attributing them to Islam is wrong. Islam does not have nasheeds; it has the remembrance of Allah, the recitation of the Qur'an, and good speech. As for these nasheeds, those who like them like songs. They do not call them Islamic; they call them just nasheeds so that people know they are songs. This is lying to people. Calling them Islamic is not right. Only the Sufis have made nasheeds part of the religion. The Sufis are the ones who take nasheeds as religion and use them to draw near to Allah. As for the people of the Sunnah and those who are upright in obedience to Allah, they do not call things by names other than their true names. They do not apply the term "Islamic" to anything other than what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has legislated. The Islamic is what Allah has legislated. Did Allah legislate nasheeds? I ask you by Allah, did Allah legislate nasheeds? Nasheeds are from speech and poetry. Matters, if they are good, are from the permissible, and if they are bad, are from the forbidden. And let us call it Islam. Yes.
