The Effects that Islamic acoustics (or Islamic Auditory Experiences) Leave on Human Behavior

Abstract

This research examines the impact of Islamic doctrinal “Samʿiyyāt” (unseen beliefs) on human behavior, based on the premise that Islamic creed (ʿAqīdah) is not merely a set of theoretical concepts but the fundamental source that guides an individual’s life and influences daily conduct. The Samʿiyyāt include all matters of the unseen known through the Qur’an and the Sunnah, such as belief in the angels, the Last Day, the punishment of the grave, reward and retribution, and divine decree—both good and bad (Al-Rāzī, Asās al-Taqdīs, p. 312; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Book of Faith).

The study’s findings reveal that the Samʿiyyāt play a clear role in developing self-monitoring and moral awareness, as the believer feels that his actions are observed by Allah and the angels, which motivates him to adhere to truth and avoid sin (Ibn al-Qayyim, Madarij al-Sālikīn, vol. 2, p. 67). Likewise, belief in resurrection, accountability, and reward strengthens patience and endurance in the face of trials and fosters detachment from the fleeting pleasures of this world (Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmūʿ al-Fatāwā, vol. 7, p. 168).

The research further demonstrates that the Samʿiyyāt encourage repentance and humility, urging individuals toward justice and benevolence in their dealings with others—thereby achieving balance between faith and moral practice within society (Al-Ghazālī, Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, vol. 1, p. 125).

The study concludes that strengthening the teaching of doctrinal Samʿiyyāt and highlighting their practical impact on human life contributes to building a morally and behaviorally balanced society, making Islamic creed an effective factor in regulating both individual and social conduct
