~your Favorite Nasheeds~

[NaSra]

Asalamalaykum


I am a huge fan of Sami Yusuf's NasheedS, Here is my favorite NaSheed by Sami Yusuf title of nasheed: <b> Al-Mualim</b>


<b>To listen:</b> http://www.radioawakening.com/AudioLinks/S...-Mu%27allim.ram


<b>To watch the Video: </b>http://www.paradise-way.net/modules.php?...d&col=nomr


<b>Lyrics</b> of AL-MUALIM:


We once had a Teacher


The Teacher of teachers,


He changed the world for the better


And made us better creatures,


Oh Allah, we’ve shamed ourselves


We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,


Surely here we’ve wronged ourselves


What will we say in front him?


Oh Mu'allim...


Chorus


He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,


Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,


He was Muhammad salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam,


Muhammad, mercy upon Mankind,


Teacher of all Mankind.


Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]


Ya Habibi, Ya Muhammad


(My beloved, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Shafi'i, Ya Muhammad


(My intercessor, Oh Muhammad)


Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad


(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)


Ya Mustafa, Ya Imamal Mursalina


(Oh Chosen One, Oh Imam of the Messengers)


Ya Mustafa, Ya Shafi'al 'Alamina


(Oh Chosen One, Oh intercessor of the worlds)


He prayed while others slept


While others ate he’d fast,


While they would laugh he wept


Until he breathed his last,


His only wish was for us to be


Among the ones who prosper,


Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,


Truly you are our Teacher,


Oh Mu'allim...


(Chorus)


Ya Habibi, Ya Muhammad


(My beloved, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Shafi'i, Ya Muhammad


(My intercessor, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Rasuli, Ya Muhammad


(Oh My Messenger, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Bashiri, Ya Muhammad


(Oh bearer of good news, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Nadhiri, Ya Muhammad


(Oh warner, Oh Muhammad)


'Ishqu Qalbi, Ya Muhammad


(The love of my heart, Oh Muhammad)


Nuru 'Ayni, Ya Muhammad


(Light of my eye, Oh Muhammad)


He taught us to be just and kind


And to feed the poor and hungry,


Help the wayfarer and the orphan child


And to not be cruel and miserly,


His speech was soft and gentle,


Like a mother stroking her child,


His mercy and compassion,


Were most radiant when he smiled


(Chorus)


Abal Qasim [one of the names of the Prophet]


Ya Habibi, Ya Muhammad


(My beloved, Oh Muhammad)


Ya Shafi'i, Ya Muhammad


(My intercessor, Oh Muhammad)


Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad


(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)


Ya Mustafa, Ya Imamal Mursalina


(Oh Chosen One, Oh Imam of the Messengers)


Ya Mustafa, Ya Shafi'al 'Alamina


(Oh Chosen One, Oh intercessor of the worlds)


MashaAllah Sami Yusuf has the voice of an Angel, very beautiful.


All of you Nasheed Addicts out there, Post your Favorite heartmoving


soul-touching Nasheeds...share it with me


Your Sister In Islam

[NaSra]

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.

Assalamualaykum....


another song that i really love, by Dawud Wharnsby Ali, What Did I Do Today:


Oh the moon has come


The day is done


The night has covered up the sun.


I have stood so often before you to pray


But I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?


Did I remember the words of Al-Fatiha?


Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?


Did I call on you to guide my way?


Tell me, what did I do today?


I has whispered to you


As I made ruku


Subhana Rabiy'yal adheem.


But was my faith


Bright or grey?


Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?


Did I smile at my brother?


Was I kind to my mother?


Did I teach another something that I know


Or did my love of this world lead me astray?


Tell me, what did I do today?


Sami Allah hu liman hamida


Rabanna lakal hamd.


Sami Allah hu liman hamida


Rabanna lakal hamd.


La illaha il Allah.


La illaha il Allah.


Though I've bowed to you


with my face in the dust,


subhana raby'yal a'la


Did I turn to you


And did I obey?


Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?


Did I use my mind?


Did I use my time?


If I search my heart what will I find?


The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,


Tell me, what did I do toady?


Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?

[NaSra]

oh Please post only Nasheeds, I started this thread only for Nasheeds. Not for Hard core rock etc, I feel like I am responsible for for this thread, So please post only Nasheeds if you can. FeeSabiLiLah inshaAllah.


Jezekelah khayran

[Muslimah]

I know I thought of deleting the lyrics but saw they were not harmful what do u think Aref and Nasrah should I delet them???

[NaSra]

Feel free to do so Sister, Last I checked Metallica wasn’t part of the Nasheed category anyway


No offence lifutushi I just can't stand them


lifutushi, Yesterday for the first time I saw Dawud Wharnsby Ali on a video recite some Nasheeds, I have been listening to his Nasheeds for awhile and my favorite one is "the veil", I never knew that he was a revert to islam.


Listen here <b>"the veil"</b>


http://www.unc.edu/depts/europe/conference...l2K/theveil.ram


Lyrics of <b>"the veil"</b>


They say, "Oh, poor girl, you're so beautiful you know


It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so."


She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly,


"This beauty that I have is just one simple part of me.


This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.


These long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.


Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn't you agree?


This hijab,


This mark of piety,


Is an act of faith, a symbol,


For all the world to see.


A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.


So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.


They tell her, "Girl, don't you know this is the West and you are free?


You don't need to be opressed, ashamed of your femininity."


She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly,


"See the bill-boards and the magazines that line the check-out isles, with their phony painted faces and their air-brushed smiles?


Well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns are really not for me.


You call it freedom, I call it anarchy."


This hijab,


This mark of piety,


Is an act of faith, a symbol,


For all the world to see.


A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.


So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.


Lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity.

Assalamu aleikum sister Intuition,


When you stated this thread I had no idea who or what text you were referring to, today I know, it has became my favourite. It is so beautiful lyrics and truly touches the heart. I have seen the video and it is so beautiful too, when he shows kindness to his mother? the blind man and praying together with the children in the mosque. Thank you sister and may you soon be on your feet again, insha'Allah.


Wasalam your sister

Assalamu aleikum,


Just some more thoughts about the original post in this thread.


To keep close in our soul and heart. To focus on.


''Oh Allah, we’ve shamed ourselves


We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,


Surely here we’ve wronged ourselves''


''He prayed while others slept


While others ate he’d fast,


While they would laugh he wept


Until he breathed his last,''


''He taught us to be just and kind


And to feed the poor and hungry,


Help the wayfarer and the orphan child


And to not be cruel and miserly,''


ALHAMDULILLAH Allah, SWT guided us to see His Truth.


Ameen.
