Quote: I'm not sure what a Nasheed is but these are two of my favorite songs.
Salams Magadeth
The word Nasheed in Arabic means raising the voice when reciting verse and making the voice sound beautiful and gentle. Nasheeds usually are in praise of Allah or the prophets. Reminding people to be on the straight path. Even though there is no better caller-to-guidence then the glorious holy quraan but nasheeds are permissable in islam whereas music is not.
Things that aren't allowed to be in nasheeds are:
<b>musical instruments but the daff is ok (some scholars differ on whether the daff is permissable or not) Allah knows best.</b>
should not be recited by women or include haraam or obscene speech
They should not resemble the tunes of the people of immorality and promiscuity
There can be more but thats all I can think of now.
I really liked the lyrics you posted, it's interesting to see that there are people in the west who actually sing about something nice other then sex/drugs/alcohol and money.
