There is a belief in some Muslim circles that music is sinful.
Why do Christians sing in their church services? First, the book of Psalms shows that singing was part of the Jewish tradition. There are 150 psalms in the Bible.
Sing Joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.
--Psalms 331
Jesus was also recorded to have sung. On the day he was betrayed, it is written:
After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
--Mark 14:26
What about musical instruments?
The fourth psalm starts with this heading:
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.
There are many other similar directives to use musical instruments like this one in Psalms.
