Salam,
Instead of sharing my own thoughts guess it's better to present the views straight from a master mouth. Many a great Sufi masters of the past have renounced practicing Qawwaali, among them were eminent shaykhs like Junayd al-Baghdadi, `Abdul-Qadir of Jeelan, Mujaddid Alif Thani, Sayyid Ahmed Brelwi (may Allaah have mercy on them). What follows could be taken as the opinion of `Ali b. `Uthman al-Hujwiri[r] on the issue;
As for little bit of music un-related with religion then there's no harm in it, but using music as a religious act i.e. taking music as means to attain Allaah's closeness is futility and sin.
Salam!
6sman, your "Kash-ul-Majoob" is superior to Authentic Hadeeth in Sahih Muslim. Why are you using fabricated stories from Kash-ul-Majoob to justify your point of view, instead you could easily use Authentic Hadeeths to disapprove Qawali. Why are you ashamed of presenting Qur'aan and Hadeeth for this purpose?
Sahih Bukhari:
Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection." (Sahih Bukhari Book #69, Hadith #494v)
