Question
Brother if you could please let me know regarding the use of musical instruments during worship rituals.
Answer
Human normally listen music when they are enjoying. It is a kind of entertainment. It is not by its very nature something to be included in worship. However, many people do so. One example is that of sufis (mystics) who think it is good for spiritual elation. We believe it is not part of worship. Rather it is a purely world thing. One needs to turn away from it and turn to God in worship.
