When To Use Music With Muslims, What To Use, And How To Get It

 

In most Muslim cultures, music is not part of worship, and Western sacred music at first will appear to converts as frivolous and out of place in the presence of God. Be sensitive to their feelings and donot force them to sing before they express their desire to do so.
