Music and Dance: Allowed or not Allowed???

The question that music and dance are allowed or not allowed, is completely wrong. Because the question is wrong in the first place therefore all answers to this question are wrong.

The people who are misled due to less education in religion, history, and science, waste their time and others by comtemplating on this false theory that music, dance, and other art form are Harram. It is something like saying that Book Reading is Harram. Or, 'eating' is Harram or Hallal!

The idea is that any thing whose target is not Allah, is not allowed as well, and will waste the time. According to this idea therefore Book Reading will not be allowed if is not taking you more closer to God. Thus, science, mathematics, geography, astronomy, and other research subjects not only become allowed, they are recommended for those people who search for God With the same token, many other books shall be banned that are popular in those people who consider Music, Dance, or any other art form Harram. Likewise, some food is allowed to eat and some is not. In the same line, one can ask "Shall humans go to hell or heaven?". Of course the answer is simple "It depends upon the few factors i.e., faith, quality of faith, actions, etc". Therefore Holy Koran does not forbid music.

If a sufi whirls in trance in the love of God, the dance not only becomes allowed, but also becomes part of the spiritual training. Likewise any music whose target is not the Communion with God, is the waste of time. (The people who say that Music is 'NOT' Harram, should also know that not all music are allowed; rather majority of music in the market is crap for spiritual purposes. It is however important to know that same piece of music will be crap for one person and at the same time it will be allowed for someone else because it caused him to achieve Communion to Allah). The fine arts developed in sufi movements have the same foundation and idea that art, the typical action of right brain, causes one to make closer to God. Because this idea is ancient and still in practice means it works if proper guidance is taken.
