Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time. The common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements.

Islam . Music . Song

Is listening to songs actually not allowed in Islam? Does it depend on the kind of songs and music? If so, what types are allowed?

Listening to songs is not allowed in Islam. We have many authentic Prophetic Hadeeths that listening to songs creates hypocrisy in the heart like water growing a seed. No song is allowed unless it is just a Nasheed or certain recitation which can never be called a song by public.
