Listening to Calm Music While Studying

Question
Is it permissible for me to listen to soft, calm music while studying and listening to lectures (knowing that I love it and feel that it encourages me to study)?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Listening to music of all kinds is forbidden, and it is permissible to listen to a hymn that praises Allah Almighty and His Messenger, peace be upon him. This is very beneficial for the heart, and Allah knows best.
