Music – halal or haram? Whirling?

Music is a matter of Ṭarīqah. Music is not halal or haram; it is a mater of Ṭarīqah. When anything Ṭarīqah is misused it becomes shirk, and it is Music that is most easily misused and so ever since the Salaf period most all music has been prohibited in Islam. Sufi-Sunni Muslims whether Salafi, Contemporary or Liberal all agree Music is not haram or halal, but only the Bayramiyyah/Qadiriyyah Muslims view Music with a strict sense of precaution and generally band Music to it's full time members, to some of it's youth converts and to it's half time members (those who are involved in The Order but have yet to take up full Islamic observance) mild Islamic based music is permitted this innovation can be necessary in order to keep them from mainstream music that is truly Shirk; you can not make Shirk things Halal so mild innovations depending on circumstances is permissible, Music makes ecstasy in a person which is not to be taken lightly, ecstasy for Allah is a necessity for every Muslim but Music should never be the way to do it for it is clearly a sin to use Music to gain ecstasy. This is why Whirling is usually not permitted in Sufi-Sunni Islam, and it's never allowed in Bayramiyyah/Qadiriyyah Order unless it's used in a mind purification ritual against evil forces, and only an ishan is permitted to do this under very rare circumstances it can be done, but only if one understands it, it also must never be done with any music(Duff) or encanting. The oldest and most trustworthy ishans of the Old Tasawwuf Ṭarīqah, that Bayramiyyah represents, do not even engage in this Old ritual because later Sufi Scholars said it is an old Jewish practice, not something recognizable of the Tasawwuf OF Abraham. Whirling seems to have originally been an Islamic Mystic form of prostration that later evolved in to the revival of the Judeo-Sufi Whirling that we see today. Most Arabic Music is really Jewish Mideastern Music that is traceable to Old Judea. Yatziban and the Judeo-sufis of Rambam's line have preserved much of these things so it is at least to Bayramiyyah's knowledge that Whirling should not be recognized as Muslim but as Jewish instead.
