The western historians or orientalists have been writing on the Arab Islamic civilization and its true religion. And what is taken on these writings is that most of them include studies bearing signs of abusing this civilization and insulting the Islamic religion and the faithful Prophet through which they achieve many goals and objectives to achieve their interests and impose their existence and civilization at the expense of Islamic civilization.

And it comes out openly. The use of melody and melody (cheerful voice) can also be done within the scope of these etiquettes. But the arguments derived from the Qur'an and Hadith and the sayings of the Salaf-e-Saliheen which prohibit the use of melody, maqamat and music, what are the reasons for this prohibition? The definition of music and maqmat and the mention of musical instruments makes it clear to us that all are related to the relationships and laws of music found between different sounds and that musical instruments fluctuate with these sounds and different. The melodies are aided in the singing of the ragas, while the recitation of the Qur'an is related to the letters and words of the Qur'an. The correct payment of these letters and words is to know and learn their attributes and utterances (Tajveed). The real contemplation and receiving the light of guidance from it is completed. On the contrary, the recitation of the Qur'an becomes a corner of darkness instead of becoming a beacon of light.
