Answer
Muslims are aware that nothing has been prohibited by Allah except that which is harmful to the welfare of a Muslim individual and the society as a whole. The divine attribute behind the prohibition of music can be comprehended by looking into the diverse influence music can have.
Experiments carried out by doctors and professors have confirmed that the music of today is such that it does not only affect the brain, but each and every organ of one`s body. There is a close relationship between music and bodily movements. We find that people listening to music automatically start tapping their fingers and feet, as if the music is permeating in their blood.
It is also proved that music affect`s one`s emotions, increases arousal in terms of alertness and excitement and also leads to various physiological changes in the person. In a psychology experiment, it was found that listening to moderate type of music increased one`s normal heart beat, whilst listening to rock music the heart beat increased even further, yet people claim that music has no effect.
It is a very ignorant and misguided attitude to percieve music as a form of pleasure and passing of time, since the messages of today`s music follow a general theme of love, fornication, drugs and freedom.
The best and pleasing songs, has the most ill effect on nerves specially when weather is warm it gets worse!Music categorically fits in drugs family because it has addiction and no one can deny it! So human can get addicted to anything! For instance, in a concert when human listen to music they will go numb and they are not in normal states so they can't focus on anything else but music so we can conclude that it is addictive like Heroin! Actually people get the most enjoyment from music because they are in narcotization state like a drug addict.
From the medical perspective it has proven that one of the reasons behind unexpected death in our era is music because music enforces excitement and excitement means an instable neurological function so people who get bombard by music are under threshold of cardiac standstill or stroke.
