Now would the Lord of the Worlds have bothered saying that several times in his transmission to humanity through the prophet (pbuh) in the text known as the Quran?

Next the swamp fascists will be telling us music isn't kosher. Don't they have a website?

There is no difference of opinion in that string instrumenst are forbidden in Islam, Also most artista have love and sexual content intheir music, some have worse.

Why not we go to the talk and then hear it out?

& to David we gave the psalms meaning a long book of poetry on death, love, sex, played on lyre.

Would you stop trolling please "anonymous". The Quran refers to stringed instruments twice in a list of precedents to the prophet (pbuh) which includes the king David and his psalter. All we could wonder would be the inclusion of the non-davidian telihim or psalms in Islamic scripture. Notwithstanding the beautiful final triad of songs of the book include an exhortation to praise God on all instruments.

you're a troll. strange you popped up as soon as sceptic went.
