Coming back to my point, it has been said any devotional song that has musical instruments is not appreciated, as music is useless activity. Also, music causes one to become a slave of passion (for music). Qawalli without harmoniam, tabla and whatever other instruments have been used in it can be accepted. Islam is only against passiveness and slavery of passion, so even their devotional "trips" while singing qawalli is a form of slavery of passion.
Hope I didnt hurt anyone's feelings but I think it is necessary to inform people of what you know😳.
Your views are right. To be a "Good Human Being" basically covers everything. Different people have different mental make up, different interests, different views, different religions etc. I can only say that no one is wrong and to each his own. After a while all will see the light, though I will be last. Personally I like variety in everything, more religions, more music and more of everything. As they say " My cup runneth over.."😊
