are concerned. Our Holy Prophet himself allowed the playing of music inside the mosque during its Id Festival and asked Hazrat Ayesh to witness the same. He even received the non-Moslem delegation of Yemen in the mosque and allowed them to stay there. The Khalifatul Muslims at Constantinople used to attend the Salam Alek ceremony on Friday at the St. Sophia Mosque accompanied by Turkish Bands. During the Moslem rule Ram Lila used to be held in front of Jam-I-Masjid at Delhi and the Royalities used to gather at the mosque and garland the hero of the play. In Calcutta in a Mohamedan family musical marriage procession was started from the house in the compound of which a mosque was started. Certain Akharas with music start from a mosque even to this day and all other Akharas visit the Mowlally Durga adjacent to the mosque and play music for hours together without any protest from any quarter. I am therefore of opinion that it has nothing to do with Shariat and has been invented by self-interested persons or party as a counterblast to cow-sacrifice in order to cause wanton irritation among the ignorant section of the community."
