_______________________________________________
"The
purpose of music, considered in relation to God, is
to arouse longing for God, and passionate love for
Him, and to produce states in which God reveals Himself
and His favor, which are beyond description and known
only by experience. These states are called ecstasy."
al-Ghazali,
10th Century Mystic
