Title: This 23-year American girl is a natural singer in any language!
Post by: QuranSearchCom on March 27, 2014, 05:07:44 PM
As'salamu Alaikum everyone,

Her name is Jennifer Grout, and she is from Boston Massachusetts.  Now, while she's an American citizen, she competed in the "Arabs got Talent", and she actually won third place.  Here are the songs that she sang in Arabic:

Amazing talent!  She resurrected the old Arabic melodies and music style from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s that got buried today with all of the junk "fast food" music that shortly vanishes after it goes live.  Amazingly, it took an American girl to do it.  LOL.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Wa 'alaikum assalam bro Osama,

Extremely sorry if I'm being offensive, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think u're trying to praise her musical and singing talents. Isn't music and singing forbidden in Islam, with very minor exceptions in certain cases?

Soooooo..... I dunno....... maybe u should repent or something?

Again, plz forgive me if I sounded too offensive.

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother Mohammad,

Thank you for the post akhi, and please don't apologize.  I don't see anything wrong with the post that I made, because Jennifer Grout, an American girl from Boston, sang real Arabic melodies and poetical songs while the others sang modern-day garbage.  Arabic songs used to be true class, and Jennifer just sang a few of them.

As to music being forbidden, please produce your evidence.  Rubbish talk is haram.  But music itself isn't.  Please visit:

Take care,

As salamu 'alaikum bro Osama,

                                                                              STEP 1

Almost full prohibition, with very minor allowances in certain very well-defined cases, for music: https://islamqa.info/en/5000
                         
                                                                              STEP 2

The very minor allowances, in certain very well-defined cases, also discussed and explained here: https://islamqa.info/en/20406

Answers to a lot of other questions regarding music and singing in the "Condemnation of Singing and Musical Instruments" section: https://islamqa.info/en/cat/365

Their arguments are pretty solid.
