prescribed by the Shari`ah. Such things unnecessarily pacify the sentiments of the public and incline them to
inaction. It is a pity that many people regard Qawwali permissible, which is sheer ignorance.

As-Sa`ib bin Yazid (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
While I was in the mosque, someone threw a
pebble at me, and when I looked up, I saw that it was `Umar bin Al-Khattab, who said: "Go and call me these two
men.'' I brought them and `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) asked them: "Where are you from?'' On their
replying that they belonged to At-Taif, he said: "Had you been the inhabitants of Al-Madinah, I would have given
you a beating for raising your voices in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).
''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
The action of `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) mentioned in the Hadith tells us that to speak
loudly in the mosque amounts to desecrating it, which is a punishable offense.
2. If one is able of it, he must stop people from acts which amount to denial of Divine injunctions and contravene the
Shari`ah.
