SALAM ALAIKUM
Sis and bro, we have to become more watchful and vigilant in resisting the desire to do what our hearts wants. We have to become more careful and aware of of the western encroachment in our religion. The issue of music in islam is a sensitive situation, Yes, the use of certain musical instruments are not permissible in islam, but how many of these musicians abide by those rules. We have to know that the utmost aim of the non-believers is to dissolve the essence in our sunnahs.
The truth is we can not justify music simply because it is praising Allah. Music is music, infact the music that praises Allah is more offensive than the western music because it is calling the name of Allah and the Rasul without takwa and piety.
I believe its best we encourage our selves and children to improve our recitation of the Quran, or simply ignore music (satan) completely, as hard as it may be , but it can be done.

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace


Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening (x2)


CHORUS:
Ya Mawlay, ya Mawlay Salli 'ala Taha (x2)
husnu Ahmadal Bashir
Akhjalal badral munir
Oh my Lord, Send your peace and blessings on Taha (one of the prophet's names)
The beauty of Ahmad the portent
Ashamed the illuminative full moon

Will I be from those
You welcome with a smile
As you call your nation
Come to my side

Or will I see you frown
And then turn away
I did let you down
I forgot this Day

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

CHORUS

Bridge:
Ya Habiba Allah
Ya Safiyya Allah
'Alayka Salatu Allah
Wa Salamu Allah
Oh you the one who Allah loves
Oh you the one who Allah chose
May Allah's peace and blessing be upon you

Your smile is so bright
It lits up the dark night
Brought mercy and light
To my waiting heart

I know that I’m weak
Of my sins I can’t speak
Your mercy I seek
Though I’m not worthy

What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling

Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening


CHORUS

I love listening to Sammy Yusuf

Oh Thank you mukinatu.

Im in love with that song already.

you are welcome Minute

My sisters/brothers. listening to Nasheed have for a long time been debated about its status as either halal or haram. There is no justification anyone can give on the basis that it is praise of Allah (SWA) or The Prophet (PBUH) that is what makes it good. Islam is a religion that have a direction and does not allow willfull innovation in the name of good deeds. That is why upto the present day the basic tenets of Islam are as they were laid down by the Prophet (PBUH).

For those interested the can read this article in full: http://islamqa.com/en/ref/5000/music%20in%20islam

For those that dont have much time this is d summary:
Conclusion

Perhaps – for fair-minded and objective readers – this summary will make it clear that the view that music is permissible has no firm basis. There are no two views on this matter. So we must advise in the best manner, and then take it step by step and denounce music, if we are able to do so. We should not be deceived by the fame of a man in our own times in which the people who are truly committed to Islam have become strangers. The one who says that singing and musical instruments are permitted is simply supporting the whims of people nowadays, as if the masses were issuing fatwas and he is simply signing them! If a matter arises, they will look at the views of fuqahaa’ on this matter, then they will take the easiest view, as they claim. Then they will look for evidence, or just specious arguments which are worth no more than a lump of dead meat. How often have these people approved things in the name of sharee’ah which in fact have nothing to do with Islam!

Strive to learn your Islam from the Book of your Lord and the Sunnah of your Prophet. Do not say, So-and-so said, for you cannot learn the truth only from men. Learn the truth and then measure people against it. This should be enough for the one who controls his whims and submits himself to his Lord. May what we have written above heal the hearts of the believers and dispel the whispers in the hearts of those who are stricken with insinuating whispers. May it expose everyone who is deviating from the path of Revelation and taking the easiest options, thinking that he has come up with something which none of the earlier generations ever achieved, and speaking about Allaah without knowledge. They sought to avoid fisq (evildoing) and ended up committing bid’ah – may Allaah not bless them in it. It would have been better for them to follow the path of the believers.

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless and grant peace to His Messenger who made clear the path of the believers, and to his companions and those who follow them in truth until the Day of Judgement.

@thrama and co.

Am not in support of songs that use instruments that are haram, you say we should listen to the Qur'an. Yea that's the best, but how would it feel listening to the Qur'an every time you drive your vehicle and when you are about to go on a long travel. Do you think listening to the Qur'an is some sort of pleasure (as in music) I don't listen to the Qur'an all the time, because if you understand it's meanings and believe in it, you will reckon that it needs to be listened to frequently but not all the time.

I wont judge your understanding about the deen, but even those whom many think have extreme views about Islam are not opposed to Nasheeds that praise Allah, support the Mujahidin, and bring hope that the Muslims will be the victors. The Nasheed I post over a year ago is not using the sax, neither a piano nor anything of such.

When you have children and tell them to listen to the Qur'an only, that's your own choice. I did not say men and women should dance together, I neither dance, nor do I know how to.

Any interested can listen to these Nasheeds. Also I advice you to check the website for the correct Islamic teaching and understanding: http://www.salafimedia.net/nasheeds.html

Kalimatan habibatan ila ar-Rahman
Khafifatan `ala al-lisan, thaqilatan fi al-mizan
Subhanallahi wa bi hamdih, subhanallahi al-azim

Meaning:


'There are two phrases which are beloved of the Most Merciful, light on the tongue, yet heavy on the scales (of reward): glory be to Allah and all praise to Him, glory be to Allah, the Mighty.' (Hadith Bukhari)

there are couple of nasheeds by in Dawud Wharnsby Ali, though he plays the guitar but they are actually very soulful,there's evn one that he says was inspired by a lil Nigerian Girl he met once 'little bird', then he has the one with the Arabic alphabets 'A is for Allah' and Song of Madinah, i like his lyrics.

well now u know, there are plenty to listen to.

The last one i posted is really really very good

We dont know where they all are again, what of mr crackles?

i like listening to ahmed bukhatir

Just one mention of Ahmed Bukhatir!!??

I haven't heard any voice as touching as his. Btw, you guys should also check out Boonaa Mohammed and Amir Sulaiman; these guys are amazing!!
I used to listen to music a lot then I realised all it preaches is hypocrisy and immorality. I am saddened that we don't have a our own (Islamic) BET or MTV which we can turn to and I think this has affected a lot of us because it's just there for the taking, all you need is a remote control, May Allah help us.

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba
la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

shine your mercy like the sun, and be gracious as the earth
let your kindness come like rain that cares not whom it falls upon
and let ocean deep your wisdom be, your heart and lanterns spreading peace
give yourself in love of him, be like al-habib
and in your deepest needs and in your deepest grieve, call on him in humility
place your trust in the one, to whom creation turns
you'll find redemption and find peace

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

be a blazing fire of truth, be a soothing balm of peace
with the light of your sincerity, break the clouds of tyranny
let your faith be like a blessed tree, give your shade to all who seek
may your roots run true and deep, take your strength from al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasulle salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik

and all the certainty will bring tranqulity, contentment with allah's decree
give thanks for all that comes, be patient and know that someday you will return to him

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

hold fast to the company of the folk of certainty
through the gaze and through your love for them,
may you be as one of them
be as gentle as the whispering breeze, spread solace to the world we're in
let your heart and soul be mirror clear, give life and love to al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasulle salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik

and stand before allah like nothing else exists, and worship him like you are seen
be with all creation and all your deeds and words
as though you have no self to clean

la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba

yet when you master all of this, forget not your neediness
were it not for allah's grace, none of this can be achieved
so be humble as the lonley earth, that all creatures walk up on
be the slave of the most merciful, take your light from al habib
so shine your mercy like the sun, send your light across the earth
let your kindness flow like rivers, quench the thirst of all who come
and let mountain strong your spirit be, let your heart melt out of love for him
take the road that leads to him, may you be with al-habib

ya nabi salamalaik, ya rasulle salamalaik, ya habib salamalaik
salawatullah alaik (x2)
la ilaha ilallah muhammadun rasulullah, alaihi salatullah wa alihi wal ahibba (x2)
