Gibril Haddad - Ghazali on Audition and Ecstasy - Travelling Light - TRAILER

Shaykh Gibril Haddad, the leading hadith specialist and Shafi’i fiqh scholar of Brunei, gives an authentic and highly-watchable presentation of issues relating to music and singing in the Sacred Law of Islam. He begins by surveying Imam al-Ghazali’s treatment of the classical scholarly positions on audition (sama’), explaining the correctness of the mainstream view. Chapter Two deals with the inner effects of listening to music and the right Sharia courtesies to be observed, given the ability of powerful emotion to lead us rightly, but also to lead us astray. The talk reveals Islam’s balance and wisdom in allowing this important form of da’wa and spiritual reinforcement, while maintaining a right distance from anything which might distract worshippers from God and weaken their spiritual happiness.

Recorded live at the Datuk Machap Mosque, a historic Chinese mosque in the Malaysian state of Malacca. Qur’an recitation by Ustaz Azizi Yaacob. Vocals by the Legasi Cenderawasih Group and the Dikir Laba Group of Padang Tembesu Village.
