I was watching a programme on the telly about the practise of Sufism (which apparently represents popular Islam) all over the Muslim world; the forms were different depending on the place but the essential ingredients were the same; their were people (even participants from other faiths) drumming, singing, chanting and dancing or whirling in ecstatic God consciousness. I found it beautiful, inspiring and delightful. When the programme finished I turned over to a programme called Mosque, a serial which was being shown during Rammadan, in this episode (the only one I watched) an Imam shouted and shouted moral instructions at his congregation, I found it really tiresome.
Why is music banned by some Mullahs. Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him) joined in the singing when he was helping dig the trenches outside Medina and the girls of Medina sang compositions to welcome him when he first arrived. No?
