Approximately a year prior to the tragic incident where a truck was driven up Bourbon Street in New Orleans, resulting in the loss of at least 14 lives and injuring numerous individuals, an account linked to Shamsud-Din Jabbar uploaded three audio files discussing religious perspectives on the online platform Soundcloud.
The voice in these audio clips aligns with other verified videos of Jabbar, and the account uses a shortened version of his name, indicating its location in Houston, where Jabbar was known to reside.
These audio files offer a unique insight into Jabbar's religious beliefs and his personal interpretation of Islam.
In one of the recordings titled 'Satan's Voice,' Jabbar equates music and playing musical instruments to being influenced by evil forces.
He expressed that 'Satan's voice' serves as a means to lead people astray from the path of Allah, emphasizing the deceptive nature of such influences.
Jabbar also shared his belief that musical instruments have a profound impact on the human heart, gradually steering individuals towards actions that he deemed as forbidden by God.
These revelations shed light on Jabbar's religious convictions and his stance on certain aspects of music and its perceived effects on individuals.
