All these affects could and do make one stray from the rememberance of God. Islam basically is about acknowleging, remembering and just being grateful to him as much as one can. Music in all its form may distract a person from remembering his creator.Jon from Bristol
Erm, don't theme park rides affect your emotions, increase your arousal and lead to physiological changes? If you think they don't, go on Air or Oblivion! Sorry but this 'no music' thing is boll*cks if that's the only argument against it! I would have thought the furthest thing from a persons mind when in a theme park is 'remembering his creator'. I could understand them not wanting Christina Aguilera warbling 'Dirrty' in the background but a bit of light pan-pipes surely couldn't hurt?!


Yes you are right, but you dont go to theme parks everyday do you? Or do you?

On the other hand music infiltrates our lives everyday in so many ways. They play it in supermarkets to lul you into the buying mood. They play it on advertisements on tv to make you buy flash cars and bigger and better things. Even walking down the street you get an earful from cars with their boom boxes. Music is like a drug in a way. People use it to help themselves forget, to help them sooth away their cares. All these things distracts from what is the most important thing to a muslim...namely God. This is how it is to a Muslim. Its not boll*cks as you so put it, its how it is, was and always will be.
