Answer 1

I'm not a Muslim, but I seem to remember that when the Taliban were in control in Afghanistan and enforced their own strict and rigid interpretations of Sharia law, they banned all music and confiscated or destroyed all musical instruments that they found.

But as I said, they practice a VERY strict and narrow-minded version of Islam.  In most other Muslim countries, music -- even Western music -- is very much a part of the local lifestyle.

If you enjoy singing and playing guitar, I think its fine for you to do that.  What do your parents say about it?  

Answer 2

i am not your religion but i find it hard to believe that enjoying yourself and creating nice music would be wrong. Why would you completely leave your guitar and songs? If it is against your religion, you need to seriously consider what your religion is teaching.

Answer 3

It's right to play the guitar because it's a good thing, unlike religion which makes people question common sense.  There is no god but there is simple pleasure to be had from playing guitar.

Answer 4

Theres nothing wrong with listening to songs. Everybody does it. Im muslim and my parents were king and queen of a disco club. Every culture has its music. There are pop singers in every country, even muslim countries. Seriously you shouldn't worry
