Ramadan Music!
Published by Haseeb September 12th, 2007 in Islam, MusicInshallah Ramadan will begin on Thursday (pending moon-sighting). Over a billion Muslims from across the world will be fasting from dawn to dusk for an entire month. May we all have a blessed month - and may all of our fasts, prayers (including taraweeh), and Quran reading be accepted!
And subhanallah, its very easy to overlook how vast and diverse our ummah is. Here is a sampling of ramadan music from across the world, all about our upcoming holy month!

Native Deen - Ramadan
Mishari Al-Arada - Ramadan (Arabic)

Ramadhan Mubarak to you and your family
Ramadan Mubarak.
Maybe you can use this Ramadan to leave this sinful habit of listening and promoting Music. Either way, at least keep your blog music free [and free of unislamic videos of non-mahram women].
I thought I’d drop some sincere nasiha over to your blog.
In need of duas.

Great Ramadan music…But I think we need to be listening to the Quran right now…. There is no substitution for it…… Please visit my website….www.jenan.mobi
cool links! do you know if cotu has a website or anything? i heard their video last year but thats all i’ve heard from them, they look like a german version of outlandish or something.
Dear Haseeb,
Salamalikoum!
I am writing you to apologize in advance: my team–OUR team–the Mets will not make the playoffs this year. You are fortunate as this terrible disappointment will occur during the month of Ramadan and you will be focused on things more important.
Other Met fans, however, will be wallowing in self-pity and hate. I just hope you don’t go on that path. Ramadan is about, among other things, self-control and patience. As a Met fan, you’ll have to learn about how to wait–for a championship–till you have grandchildren. In contrast, Yankees fans will have some pretty immediate gratification. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Yours truly,
David Wright

CHOKE!
Hello all
I am a Librarian at the (advert free) National Broadcaster (radio) in New Zealand and we have realised that we have no contemporary music by artist celebration Ramadan.
The Vids are cool, but can someone direct me to a aspecific compilation or site etc so we can source material for radio.
Thanks

PS in the meantime I’ve grabbed the Yusuf track (with drums)
Music haram?
Al Ghazalli and Ibn Hazm didn’t seem to think so. Of course if the content is haram, it is. Like anything else. Including books. Incidentally, the Andalusian Ibn Hazm used to read the Qur’an once a day except in Ramadan when he read it twice a day.
From what I understand :
The **one** ayat that get quoted by those who insist music is haram:
La tasmau’ fee ha laghia -
1) Refers to freedom from annoyances in the next life
2) In the next life there may be some things that are haram for us now but are somehow purified then - so experiencing them in the next life - or otherwise - my not be a valid criteria for determining halal and haram.
3) It refers to laghia - clearly the same root verb as language. It appears to be a collective noun, a good translation of which could be VERBIAGE. Yes it is good not to hear verbiage!
4) As it is referring to language, and if this means it is haram in this life, then it would clearly include vocal music / nasheed / acapella, whatever you care to call it, and quite probably poetry as well, as being haram. Note that those who claim it does make music haram fail to mention this.
At a time when Muslims are so hollowly materialistic and full of begrudgeful envy towards one another, and generally getting a bad press, a few cultural achievements that might get us some respect may not be such a bad thing.
Wa assalaatu baina-al islam wa kufr.
priorities….
Where can I find the written/recorded music of a Ramadan song. I am a music teacher and would to include a song on our December concert. I have some Muslim students and would like to do it for them. I like the song Ide mjesec Ramadan (Bosnian) posted above. Is doing this possible and allowed? Thank you.
