Question

impact of Islam on music

Answer 1

Hello buddy...

Islam had a great impact on music. Besides all these forms of music, one must mention the great classical traditions of music in the Islamic world such as the Persian, Andalusian, Arabic of the Near East, Turkish and even North Indian traditions which have survived to this day. Although the origin of these musical
traditions goes back to ancient civilizations, they became fully integrated into the Islamic universe and took their place among the major expressions of Islamic art. These classical traditions were supported mostly by the courts of various caliphs and sultans or the nobility and were more of an aristocratic and knightly art than anything else as far as patronage was concerned, but the content of this art remained highly contemplative and spiritual. Often the musicians supported by the court or the aristocracy were themselves members of the Sufi orders
as can be seen so clearly in Persia and India during the past three centuries
This classical tradition was in any case closely related to Sufism and in certain cases, such as that of the Maulawî order, the cultivation and preservation of the classical tradition was directly due to a
Sufi order.Many of the outstanding Islamic men of learning especially philosophers, mathematicians
and physicians were well-versed in music and its theories and some like al-Fârâbî, Ibn Sîna etc.

Hope it helps you buddy..
