Adnan Sami is a straightforward person and doesn’t mind giving it back with harshness. Recently, he took a dig at Muslim clerics for calling music “Haraam” as per Islam; this topic sparked off a debate on Twitter. He referred to the video of Donald Trump in which he’s seen dancing with the Royalty of Saudi Arabia.
Trump who is on a 9 day tour to Europe and Middle East was seen indulging in a sword-dance with the Royalty in a musical ceremony.

The tweet read, “Dear Muslim Clerics, U all claim music is haram in Islam? This is Saudi Arabia. This is song n dance by its Royalty! Whr r ur fatwas now?!??
He further added to the sarcasm by talking about Trump;

On this, Sami confidently replied that the Quran doesn’t mention music as “Haram”!
Ok. Show me the surat or aayat in the Quran where it says 'Music is haram'… Answer is NO WHERE!!

After replying to the questions, Adnan also made a valid point. He said that the National Anthems of all Muslim countries are played with orchestras containing musical instruments. Here’s what he tweeted;
ALL Muslim Countries have 'National Anthems' played wt Orchestras containing Musical Instruments…Go ahead & dare to declare them as haram!

Recently, a fatwa was issued by Muslim clerics against Nahid Afrin, a 16 year old singer who made her Bollywood singing debut with Akira.
This fatwa which asked her to stop performing in public was slammed by media; many had come in support of her. Now, Adnan Sami has joined the list of her supporters and has slammed the Muslims for their hypocrisy.
