who is your favourite nasheed singer,  let us share

ma salam

Arent you in serious confusion? Is music not haram in islam?

Read your own muslim brothers - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-142703.0.html

i am not, these nasheeds re used for the sole purpose of praising ALLAH SWT,

so what is the problem in that?

David
Nasheeds are NOT haram

They are allowed provided it doesnt contain the following

Not using forbidden musical instruments in nasheed.

Not doing it too much or making it the focus of the Muslim’s mind, occupying all his time, or neglecting obligatory duties because of it.

Nasheed should not include haraam or obscene speech.

They should not resemble the tunes of the people of immorality and promiscuity.

They should be free of vocal effects that produce sounds like those of musical instruments.

They should not have moving tunes which make the listener feel “high” as happens to those who listen to songs. This is the case with many of the nasheeds which appear nowadays, so that the listeners no longer pay any attention to the good meaning of the words, because they are so entranced by the tunes. And Allaah is the Source of strength.


Shuppie
Sami Yusuf's they are nice

@ mukina, i know he sings really well, but i've not been able to listen to his full music, but i will try,

This is nigh impossible mukina . . .
David
Nasheeds are NOT haram

They are allowed provided it doesnt contain the following

Not using forbidden musical instruments in nasheed. - which are forbidden and which are not?

Not doing it too much or making it the focus of the Muslim’s mind, occupying all his time, or neglecting obligatory duties because of it. - how do you control this? What does it mean to "do music too much"?

They should not resemble the tunes of the people of immorality and promiscuity. - What tunes would they resemble? Are the tunes of hymns by people of immorality?

They should be free of vocal effects that produce sounds like those of musical instruments. - Vocal effects like? Your voice produces sounds like a piano (which can actually mimic the human voice) so what does this mean?

They should not have moving tunes which make the listener feel “high” as happens to those who listen to songs. - They shld have sad tunes?

which are forbidden and which are not?

All Musical Instruments are forbidden except the duff (tambourines)

how do you control this?

Funny question You  can minimise how you do listen to the music.

What does it mean to "do music too much"?
What tunes would they resemble? Are the tunes of hymns by people of immorality?

i think these questions have  already  been answered

Doing too much music-Listening to nasheed should not become a habit which takes up a person’s time and affects his duties and mustahabb actions, such as affecting his reading of Quran and calling others to Allah.

Immoral tunes, rap music, music accompanied by instruments.

hehehe how did hymns get into this?

Immoral songs, songs promoting sexuality,  obscenity and the likes

Vocal effects like? Your voice produces sounds like a piano (which can actually mimic the human voice) so what does this mean?

The voice must not be enhanced to immitate any musical instruments.You must use ur natural voice., and that must not be softened, it must be free of sound effects. For Nasheeds are sometimes used to memorise the Quran, Du'ahs and so on.

They should not have moving tunes  which make the listener feel “high” as happens to those who listen to songs. - They shld have sad tunes?

Not necessarily sad tunes, they must not provoke desire,the purpose of the nasheed should be the words, not the tune.

@david

can't we muslims start a thread without u coming to disturb? u are on every muslim thread on this board, doing nothing but to disturb. abeeeggiiii!!!! if we talk now, the next thing u go mention na death threat

The question to Davidylan is how has he been able to stay away sexual immorality, except that he controls himself? He must have the desire for it. But the control because he considers it bad outside marriage, has been able to help him overcome. This is the same way the muslim controls what needs to be control. If you are mindful of any possible evil and or limitation of the involvement, before it becomes something bad.

For instance, consumption of food is good. But it also have its limit. If one were to excessively consume the best of meal, the consequences will not be good. One can become slaggish, tired or even get sick. Over consumption of water can cause drowning or less, water poisoning.

David apply that to music that becomes a hinderance to what is more essential than it in your life. If a muslim does not listen to music, it will not make him/her be considered a bad muslim or worse go to hellfire. However any muslim who does not pray will be considered a person out of islam until he begins to pray. All who die without islamic prayer will not have a chance to enter paradise, except if he/she had just became muslim and unable to pray before death occurs. For example a person who just became muslim and went into a coma and never recovered. A person who died just before the prayer after he had become a muslim.

Where do you figure, my man?

Shuppie

i found you Sami Yusuf's Nasheed on talal ba and Yusuf Islam's own
simply beautiful it makes me want to cry
listen to them

Ta'la al Badru 'Alayna is a traditional Islamic song that the people sung to the Prophet Muhammad when he returned to Medina(Madinah).


[flash=425,355]

Another one by Yusuf Islam
[flash=425,355]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FvUGF8yueo[/flash]


Lyrics in Arabic  Transliteration and English

Tala'al-Badru 'alayna,
min thaniyyatil-Wada'
wajaba al-shukru 'alayna,
ma da'a lillahi da'

O the White Moon rose over us
From the Valley of Wada'
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Where the call is to Allah

Ayyuha al-mab'uthu fina
ji'ta bi-al-amri al-muta'
Ji'ta sharrafta al-Madinah
marhaban ya khayra da'

O you who were raised amongst us
coming with a work to be obeyed
You have brought to this city nobleness
Welcome! best call to God's way

Tala'al-Badru 'alayna,
min thaniyyatil-Wada'
wajaba al-shukru 'alayna,
ma da'a lillahi da'

Beautiful

Zain Bhika is also really good.

Yeah, Nice one. I used to have the Yusuf Islam Track on my former laptop. Nice one

I think we're the one encouraging David to appear in all our threads. The moment we start responding to his negative contribution and ideas the more we encourage him to post more of the nasty ideas.

The moment we start neglecting him the better for us. Remember silence is the best answer for a F**L, i don't mean to e rude.

salam aleikum to my brothers and sisters.
@bolar you re very correct. to me i feel it's better to ignore most times. there re times it's not worth it engaging some people, and if you keep quiet that doesn't make you a fool.

http://www.imeem.com/people/mH63Vo/music/NYCrXqNX/zain. the lyrics is also there as well.

the title of this nasheed is[b] Allah knows[/b] by Zain Bhikha and Dawud Warnsby.
i love this nasheed so much, it makes me cry and it is reassuring of the existence of the one and only Almighty ALLAH (SWT),  i hope you all love it too. ma salam.

Babs i tire

Shuppie i love Allah Knows its beautiful

muki. the feeling is mutual.

this is the lyrics of Allah knows.


When you feel all alone in this world
And there’s nobody to count your tears
Just remember, no matter where you are
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you carrying a monster load
And you wonder how far you can go
With every step on that road that you take
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS
No matter what, inside or out
There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt
Allah knows
Allah knows
And whatever lies in the heavens and the earth
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you find that special someone
Feel your whole life has barely begun
You can walk on the moon, shout it to everyone
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you gaze with love in your eyes
Catch a glimpse of paradise
And you see your child take the first breath of life
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS

When you lose someone close to your heart
See your whole world fall apart
And you try to go on but it seems so hard
Allah knows
Allah knows

You see we all have a path to choose
Through the valleys and hills we go
With the ups and the downs, never fret never frown
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS (x2)

BRIDGE:
Every grain of sand,
In every desert land, He knows.
Every shade of palm,
Every closed hand, He knows.
Every sparkling tear,
On every eyelash, He knows.
Every thought I have,
And every word I share, He knows.
Allah knows.

@shuppie
The Nasheed I love most is from Talib Al-Habib titled Articles of faith, sisters you wanna beat that!

[flash=425,344]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNf8RrhiY4[/flash]

i have heard Nasheeds by him . .
Listen to " Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) " by Taib al-habib its very beautiful
Here listen to it now o

mukina2:

i have heard Nasheeds by him . .
Listen to " Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) " by Taib al-habib its very beautiful
Here listen to it now o

I listened to the demos, that guy is really good, I mean he is gifted!

He is indeed gifted . .i cant stop listening to that Nabi demo . .

You should also check Zain Bhika the south African guy, he is also good

Yeah, I checked before posting, they are all good. May Allah reward them. At least that would keep Muslim song lovers to the right things to listen to besides the Quran.

yeah May Allah reward them, they are bringing the Ummah closer in their own way
There are other very good ones  .Insha Allah later in the day, i will post vidoes of those ones

I just listened to the articles of faith its  nice . .this guy's voice is cool

mukina2:

I just listened to the articles of faith its nice . .this guy's voice is cool

You now know why I call it No.1. .Just as the title, its content explains the basic belief a person should have before he/she can call himself/herself a Muslim.Besides there are no lawful instruments added.

Frizy
i am hooked . addicted to this nasheed, haaaaaaa you and shuppie must stop this o lol

just joking . please if you can find the full version of the Nabi Nasheed i'll be grateful

mukina2:

Frizy

just joking . please if you can find the full version of the Nabi Nasheed i'll be grateful

Am very sorry. But I tried to search the web even on torrentz.com my famous site. . They all had samples, I think our Nasheeds are more anti-piracy minded than even the secular Musicians.

Aight Friz . .i found the lyrics
. .and also other nasheeds byhim , i'll post them later .

amantu billahi wa mala'ikatihi
wa kutubihi wa rusulihi wa al-yaum al-akhiri
wa al-qadri khayrihi wa sharrihi min Allah
wa al-ba'si ba`d al-maut, la ilaha illa Allah

Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers
The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures
And to believe in destiny
That good and bad both come from Him
And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah.

La ilaha illa Allah (x3), Muhammad Rasulullah

Allah is the creator of heaven and of earth
Nothing may compare with Him, He is the One alone
The prophets, best of humankind
Sent to all nations and all tribes
Last of all Muhammad, mercy to the worlds.

Formed of light and beauty, the angels of the Lord
To praise Allah, to help mankind,
Jibril brings the word.
The scriptures, all by Allah sent,
Torah, Psalms and Gospel then
The source of perfect guidance, the Glorious Quran.

The reckoning, the Final Day, when all will see their works
Remade in soul and body to stand before the Lord
With patience bearing every grief
With thankfulness for all blessings
We are content with destiny, the Will of Allah.

Faith is belief in Allah and the Messengers
The angels and the Final Day, and the holy scriptures
And to believe in destiny
That good and bad both come from Him
And the Resurrection; there is no god but Allah.

salam aleikum frizy. thanks so much for posting that nasheed from Talib Al-Habib. he is talented as well. am really happy that so many of them re doing something in terms of songs, becos to be honest those nasheeds really draws one's heart to our Creator, to think of him all the time, and to reflect on life, which is what most of us wants most. but Allah Knows by Zain bhikha is the best for me.

http://www.imeem.com/fathiha/music/o0upJAXs/zain_bhikha_mountains_of_makkah/


this is another nasheed from Zain Bhikha titled Mountains of makkah. it is going to blow you away, that i can tell you. please enjoy it. ma salam.

Mountains of Makkah

Song: Mountains of Makkah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you say
Of the day that Abraham passed your way
And He was instructed by God to build
A House of peace where people will pray

And they will come on every lean camel and out of every ravine
For the purpose of praising Allah, to glorify Allah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, what can you tell
Of the day when stones from the sky fell
Destroying an army determined to break
The House of Allah that Abraham built

Oh Mountains of Mecca, how was the dawn
On the day that my Prophet Muhammad was born
How did it feel knowing he was to be, the last and most beloved of all
Rasul of Allah, Nabi of Allah

Oh Mountains of Mecca, you were there
When the Prophet Muhammad climbed down in despair
Engraved in his heart were the words of his Lord
To all of mankind this was his call

La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
Oh people praise only Allah, Glorify Allah



Oh Mountains of Mecca, how did you mourn
On the day that the beloved returned to his Lord
And up till the last breath escaped from his lips
He prayed that his Ummah would find success

Oh Mountains of Mecca how will it feel
When the earth shall quake and tremble with fear
And we shall be gathered together to stand
In the court of Allah with our deeds at hand

Oh how we pray that on that day, we’ll be with those to whom Allah will say
Peace be with you, I am pleased with you

Oh Mountains of Mecca, Bear witness that I
To the oneness of Allah do I testify
For all that He’s given me, How can I deny
My purpose in life should be only to cry

La illaha illAllah, Muhammad-u-Rasullullah
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad’s His Messenger
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Nabi Allah
Allahumma Salli Alla, Muhammad Rasullillah
