Singing about the Prophet's mission along with songs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa number ( 18440 )
Q 2: Many Muslims sing about the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) mission while using music , just as the Jews and Christians do, for they remember Allah while using music. What is the ruling on that?
A 2: Loving the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is by following him, emulating his Sunnah, and following his guidance. Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:31] . As for singing about his mission with music, it is not of love, but rather it is of
amusement and turning away from the remembrance of Allah, and it is among that which hardens the heart and distances one from Allah and from His straight path. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌamusement and turning away from the remembrance of Allah, and it is among that which hardens the heart and distances one from Allah and from His straight path.
