السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Ignorance has become prevalent and the Sunnah and the methodology of the Salaf may Allah be pleased with them. Ameen, as a result has become strange. There are two beautiful statements by Imam Al-Awza'i رحمه الله تعالى "It is reported that Imām Al-Awzāʿī (d157H) wrote: O Muslims, fear Allāh and obey Him, and accept the advice of the sincere advisers and the exhortation of the exhorters, and know that this knowledge is religion, so be careful about what you do [in it] and from whom you take [it] and who you follow and who you trust your religion to. For verily, the followers of Bid’ah are all falsifiers and liars, neither are they careful nor do they fear and protect [against wrongdoing], and nor are they to be trusted to not distort what you hear. They say what they know not when criticizing and decrying or when affirming their lies. But Allāh encompasses what they do. So be on guard against them, suspect them, reject them and distance yourselves from them, for this was what your earlier scholars and the righteous latter ones did and instructed others to do. Beware of rising against Allāh and becoming instruments in the destruction of His religion and undoing its handholds by respecting the innovators, for you know what has come down to us about respecting them. And what stronger respect and veneration can there be than taking your religion from them, following them, believing them, being close to them and helping them in alluring those they allure and attracting those they attract of the weak Muslims towards their ideas and the religion they practice? This is enough to be considered a partnership and contribution to what they do. Ibn ‘Asākir, Tārīkh Dimishq 6:361, 362.

It is reported that Imam Al-Awzāʿī رحمه الله تعالى said: Follow the narrations [ways] of those who have preceded (the Salaf) even if people reject you; and beware of people’s opinions, even if they beautify them for you. Al-Ājurrī, Kitāb Al-Sharīʿah 1:138; Ibn ʿAbd Al-Barr, Jāmiʿ Bayān Al-ʿIlm wa Faḍlihi 3:373.

May Allah reward you and bless you and you're family and may Allah guide these brothers and make them upon the manhaj of the Salaf and may Allah make them flag bearers of it. آمين

Learning the maqamat conventionally is haram according to the overwhelming majority of ulamaa (i.e. thru musical instruments, notes, etc. and then applying it to the Quran). However they allow copying other Qurra who use the maqamat and learning the maqamat by ear. This would avoid people turning the Quran into an opera والعياذ بالله. Some scholars say it is bidah altogether, while the other extreme says it is ok to use music in the Quran. However most scholars are on the middle opinion, which is that it’s permissible to “learn without learning” the maqamat. That’s what they meant when they said they didn’t intend to learn it; they didn’t go to music school but rather picked up on it by listening to reciters such as Mustafa Ismail, Minshawi, etc. And Allah ﷻ knows best.
