Slippery Stone
An Inquiry into Islam's Stance on Music
by Khalid Baig

What does Islam say about poetry, singing, musical instruments, musicians, and the business of music? What is the truth about the much-publicized “music controversy” in Islam?

This book demystifies the issue of music in Islam. More than six hundred references and more than a hundred twenty biographical notes on the authorities quoted add to the value of a discussion that is comprehensive without being boring, and detailed without being confusing.   More info...
