Revision as of 04:12, 24 August 2021

For the former President of the Maldives, see Mohamed Nasheed.

Nasheed (Arabic: singular نشيد nashīd, plural أناشيد anāshīd, meaning: "chants") is a work of vocal music that is sung with a cappella or with an individual without instruments. An individual performing nasheed is called a munshid.[1]

Nasheeds are popular throughout the Muslim-majority countries. The material and lyrics of a nasheed usually make reference to Islamic beliefs, history, and religion, as well as current events.[2]

Scholars on instruments

Further information: Islamic music § Permissibility of music

The use of musical instruments is implicitly prohibited in the Hadith. According to the widely acknowledged book of authentic hadiths Sahih al-Bukhari of Sunni scholarship, Muhammad ﷺ taught that musical instruments are sinful:[3]

"From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection.".

— Sahih al-Bukhari

However, few historical Islamic scholars such as Imam Al-Ghazali and Ibn Sina have also said that musical instruments may be used as long as the songs are not promoting that which is Haram".[4] A verse in Sahih al-Bukhari is seen as an evidence for music being permitted by some Islamic scholars: (Narrated Aisha):[5][6]

"On the days of Mina, Abu Bakr came to her while two young girls were beating the tambourine and the Prophet ﷺ was lying covered with his clothes. Abu Bakr scolded them and the Prophet ﷺ uncovered his face and said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id. "Leave them, for these days are the days of `Id and the days of Mina."

— Sahih al-Bukhari

Famous Islamic scholar Zakir Naik says that Tambourine and Daf are the only Halal musical instruments since they are the only instruments allowed in the Hadith.[7]

Modern interpretations

Many new nasheed artists are Arabs who sing in Arabic and many of them are non-Arabs who sing in different languages, like English, German, Bengali, Urdu, Hindi, Pashto, or Turkish. There are many nasheed bands such as Native Deen, Outlandish, Raihan and many others. Well-known individual nasheed artists include Ahmed Bukhatir, Yusuf Islam, Sami Yusuf, Junaid Jamshed, Maher Zain, Harris J, Humood AlKhudher, Hamza Namira, Raef, Mesut Kurtis, Dawud Wharnsby, and Zain Bhikha.[8] In South Asia, Qawwali is famous for the Islamic relationship with spirituality in Urdu.

Appealing to a significant Muslim audience and also leading to performance of such artists at Islamic oriented days such as Mawlid, conferences, concerts and shows, including ISNA.[9] Other artists and organisations such as Nasheed Bay promote an instrument-free stance with nasheed.

The de facto Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the only country with a nasheed as its anthem called "This is the Home of the Brave".[10] The Islamic State of Levant is has also released nasheeds in their videos and propaganda, notable examples being the chant "Dawlat al-Islam Qamat", which came to be viewed as an unofficial anthem of ISIL,[11] and "Salil al-sawarim".[12] ISIL has also produced nasheeds in French.[13] The 2016 nasheed "Ma vengeance" contains praise of the January 2015 Paris attacks, the November 2015 Paris attacks, and the 2016 Brussels bombings.[14] The 2016 chant "Par Amour" glorifies martyrdom.[15]
