I’m a child of the 70′s and 80′s. Music is something that has been in my life from as early as I can remember. Its more than something I listen to or hear. Music IS me.  The precision of my heart beat, the timing of my inhalation and exhalation and the stride & cadence of my step is all music. I don’t know how not to think in rhythm.

There is a big debate among muslims the world over regarding whether listening to music is a natural part of life or if its something that God does not approve of. The opinions vary. They range from people who believe that as long as its not promoting sex outside of marriage, drugs and alcohol or any other “sinful” behavior its okay. To people who are adamant that music of any type is strictly prohibited.

In actuality the word music isn’t mentioned in the Quran.  And personally I think that hearing the melodic recitation of its verses is music to my ears and heart.  When its all said and done it boils down to interpretation.  Do I think hearing some of the crap that’s played on the radio nowadays is in harmony with my desire to be in tune to the Creator’s Master Plan?  Heck No!

But you can’t tell me that listening to this does not promote Consciousness and Awareness of the GOD within me.
