The prohibition of hearing the music of Paradise for one who listened to singing in this world
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, you said that whoever listens to singing in this world will not hear the singing of the houris in Paradise. Is this an explicit text, or is it an analogy based on intoxicants?
The Shaykh:
Yes. And.
The questioner:
Welcome, welcome.
The Shaykh:
With these matters, one is deprived, as you heard, by looking. Look again, proceed.
The questioner:
“Purify your hearing if you desire to hear.”
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. The position is that it is not possible for one to hear the music of Paradise if he combines listening to songs and amusement in this world with hearing the music of Paradise, because he did not do anything, he did not do a righteous deed that qualifies him to hear the music of Paradise. Yes, and Paradise is not attained except through deeds, and what is in it is not attained except through deeds, by the mercy of Allah[An-Nahl 16:32] It is not attained through wishes; Paradise is not attained through wishes, but only through deeds. Yes.
