154: Resident Scholar "Music Was Never Haram. We've Been Tricked." w. Dr Ali Hussain

Dr. Ali Hussain comes back for another deep, thought provoking and historically grounded conversation on the rich tradition of music, instruments, and melodic recitation in Islam, and how colonialism, cultural rupture, and fear-based theology severed Muslims from their own artistic heritage. Dr. Ali claims that Music is not a modern innovation in Islam it is a spiritual tradition rooted in the Prophetic era that we have nearly lost. Dr. Ali Hussain truly believes that music is not haram, that music halal and a necessary part of our tradition. We explore how the Qur’an itself is meant to be experienced melodiously, why art and beauty are central to worship, and how music once played a vital role in spiritual refinement, remembrance, and communal identity.*JOIN OUR YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP*OR*Support Us @* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/OR*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/theansaripodcast/membership*Join The Cosmos Club Newsletter:* https://www.ansaripodcast.com/cosmos-club*Ayubi Collective*FREE 10-Part Masterclass “How to Build Your Own Multi-Billion Dollar Business”https://www.ayubi.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com*Humaniti:* https://donor.muslimi.com/page/Humaniti-emergency-Ansari00:00 Why is Music Halal?05:16 Music & The Prophet PBUH08:47 The Spirit of Melody in the Quran13:52 Musical Tradition Came from the Prophets?20:57 Why Do People Say Music is Haram?27:04 Does Music Distance You from God?40:21 Using Art as Worship50:24 Why do Humans Need Beauty?54:26 Graffiti and Jazz as Sacred Art?56:22 Speed round Questions#music #haram #islamichistory #muslimpodcast #islamicpodcast*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcast
