15:26
Q. What is the reason that every person by nature is fond of melodies and music?
A. This is an interesting and fundamental question. The Most Benevolent Lord's wisdom was hidden in also including an element of music in Hazrat Adam's nature, for He created him from salsal (sounding clay). Note the meanings of the word salsal in the Qur'an (15:26,28,33; 55:14) and also in an authentic Arabic dictionary. This word means dried sounding clay, sound of ornament or bridle, thunder of cloud, ringing of a bell. The story of the physical creation of Adam is known to everybody, therefore here we need only mention his spiritual creation. That is, by salsal is meant Sur-i Israfil with which the spiritual creation of Hazrat Adam started. Because this sacred music was included in Hazrat Adam's nature, the children of Adam as a hereditary trait like music and melodious voices.
