KABUL: Taliban authorities have arrested 14 people in northern Afghanistan for playing musical instruments and singing, activities they restricted since taking power, provincial police said on Saturday.

The Taliban government has steadily imposed laws and regulations that reflect their austere vision of Islamic law since seizing power in 2021.


This includes cracking down on music in public, from live performances to playing at gatherings, in restaurants, in cars or on radio and TV.

The police said in a statement that on Thursday night in the capital of northern Takhar province “fourteen individuals… took advantage of the nighttime to gather in a residential house where they were playing musical instruments and singing songs, which caused disturbance to the public”.


Those detained were under investigation, it added.




After their takeover, Taliban authorities shuttered music schools and smashed or burned musical instruments and sound systems, saying music caused “moral corruption” and public disturbance.


Wedding halls are no longer allowed to play music, though segregated women’s sections often do so secretly.


Many Afghan musicians fled the Taliban takeover out of fear or in need of work after losing their livelihoods in one of the world’s poorest countries.


The Taliban authorities have encouraged former musicians to turn their talents to Islamic poetry and unaccompanied vocal chants – the only forms of music allowed under their previous rule from 1996-2001.

They must as well demolish all buildings and urban infrastructure and the whole nation of people go live in caves.

Taliban are truth muslims, they are following the koran very strictly and almost word for word. Muslim is haram, @Loofydralb why are you listening to muslim? You ignore what your beloved prophet warned about music?

How do you know I listen to music or not?

An AC130 gunship will do wonders to Talibs

The PAP should do the same thing it would make Singapore a far more pleasant place to live in.

Of course I know. The most important and concerning, the top one knows too.

“There will be among my followers, people who will consider as permissible illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks, and the use of musical instruments…”

In the modern world you are bombarded with music even though you don't enjoy it.
Music is no different from drugs.
It makes you neglectful of your most IMPT responsibilities.

A Muslim couple preparing for their wedding meet the Mullah for counselling.
Man: “It’s a tradition in Islam for men to dance with men, and women to dance with women, but may we dance together at our wedding?"
Mullah: “Absolutely not. It’s immoral. Men and women always dance separately.”
Man: “So after the ceremony I can’t even dance with my own wife?”
Mullah: "No, it’s forbidden in Islam.”
Man: “Okay. What about sex? Can we finally have sex?
Mullah: “Of course! Sex is okay within marriage to have children!”
Man: “What about different positions? Woman on top? Doggy style? On the kitchen table?
Mullah: “No problem. Go for it!”
Man: “Can we do it with all my four wives together while watching a porn video?”
Mullah: “You may indeed!”
Man: “Can we do it standing up?”
Mullah: “No. It could lead to dancing.”

Anywhere on the planet if there is a noisy disturbance, the cops will. Be called to stifle it.

You are not a true muslim yet, you are still not following the guidelines of the koran 100%. Look up the taliban as good example.

Music will distract muslims from their reliigous obligations. Traditional malay musical instrucments tenawak, marwas, kompang, gambus are not related to islamic culture, so malays should discard them completedly. I believe all musical instruments are non-islamic cultural influence, since the arabs can't possibly play any musical instructment in the desert.

Nobody can claim to be the perfect Muslim.

Yes and No. You should try to be 5% closer every 6 months. First, true muslim should not accept an infidel as leader. You should try to revive PKMS, give yourself 6 months.

The Taliban would probably arrest this Japanese girl and violate her in prison. So much for being religious!

Muslim men must be lusting with their eyes and hearts when they catch sight of such women.

 

[True Believer]

Muslim men don't know what they are missing.
