5:That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
Now me, being not the smartest cookie in the jar, wanted to know what some of these instruments are, so I looked them up in the Strong's Concordance and online...and found some of the words tie into Islam, for example psaltery is "pesanterin" which is Chaldaic
(For the record) Psaltery in other places of the Scriptures, like Psalms, does NOT mean the same as here in Daniel 3:5. I'll provide all the meanings for each instrument in Daniel and then go from there...some of you may already know, but this is new news for me!! And I want to thank Yahshua first and foremost, for without Him...I would be nothing & would know nothing
I'll give the english word and then the Aramaic+meanings; since that area of Daniel was primarily written in Aramaic; with some words rooted in Greek/Chaldaic
1: Cornet: (Qeren)
A horn (for sound) to push or gore, to shoot out horns; rays -shine or as projecting. A corner, peak or ray. Figuratively...power.
2: Flute: (Mashrowqiy)
(from a root corresponding to: Sharaq, which means; to be shrill, whistle, hiss (as a call or in scorn)
derision or contempt.
3: Harp: (Qiytharoc)
A lyre or harp
4: Sackbut:(Cabbeka or Sabbeka)
From Cabak; to entwine, fold together, wrap:lyre.
5: Dulcimer: (Ciyphoneya)
A bag pipe; (with a double pipe)
6: Psaltery: (Pesanterin)
A lyre
And when I typed in *Pesanterin* look where it leads....

QUOTE
Islamia (Islamic madrasa) in India and Pakistan and much of the Arabic speaking world. Pesantren aim to deepen knowledge of the Koran, particularly through the study of Arabic, traditions of exegesis, the Sayings of the Prophet, law and logic. The term pesantren derives from the root word santri or student -- pe-santri-an or the place of the santri[1]
All pesantren are led by a group of teachers and religious leaders known as Kyai. . The Kyai is respected as teacher and devout man. Kyai also play important roles in the community as a religious leader and in recent years as a political figure. There are Kyai families that have a long history of serving in this role. Some contemporary Kyai are the grandsons and great-grandsons of famous historical figures who established well known pesantren.[2] [3]

7: Musick: (Zemar from root: Zamar)
To trim a vine; prune also striking with fingers, instrumental.
There certainly are noticeable similarities to what is taking place in Daniel 3 and what takes place in the Islamic religion; like for example a muslim prays/worships several times a day and here is one example:

A Call is made from the mosque, indicating that it is time for the obligatory prayer. There are five obligatory prayers in a day. On hearing the Call, people start preparing themselves for the prayer. Appearing below is the transliteration and translation of what a caller to the prayer says
