Describing the Qur'an with musical rhythm and tone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Qur'an does not say that it is a piece of music, but rather that it has a musical rhythm and a musical tone.
The Shaykh:
It is not accepted.
Another questioner:
This is a phrase used to describe the view, meaning.
The Shaykh:
No, this varies according to people's voices. Not every voice is music, nor is every voice that of a preacher, and it should not be likened to forbidden music, which contains instruments of amusement. Rather, he should say that it is moving to the hearts, that it contains guidance, mercy, and healing, especially with a beautiful voice. A beautiful voice has an effect on the hearts, without a doubt.
