What is the significance of QAWWALI in islam ?
Question
Listening to music is not allowed still why some very well known AULIYA-E-KARAM propagated the listening of QAWWALI.
Answer
Music is expressly prohibited in many Ahaadith. Among the dominant purposes of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was to destroy musical instruments. (Mishkat vol.2).
