What should a Muslim listen to instead of music and the Qur'an during times of busyness and play, given that music is forbidden and reciting the Qur'an at such times is impermissible?

Listening to the Quran when it is recited is best, but it is not obligatory according to the majority of jurists. For those who wish to avoid disagreement, they may listen to permissible materials such as anasheed (Islamic chants) or poetry.
