Nasheeds, Islamic Religious Songs

Some Nasheeds carry very strong reminders such as this one does.




Some Nasheeds are just an expression of joy like these next 2





Some Nasheeds are a reminder of Hope

I found the 99 names with English sub- titles

The majority of Scholars are in agreement it is not permissible to use in nasheeds.  The Sufi scholars seem to be in disagreement

However a few claim it is allowed and it is a common practice among the Sufi. Nearly every Sufi nasheed has music instruments in it. I won't post any here, but if you do a search on Youtube for "Sufi Anasheed" you will see what I mean.

While there are those who deny the Sufi are Muslim,  I accept them as being Muslim as they say the same Shahadah we do and they do try to follow the same 5 pillars. But some of their practices seem to be in error. I have deep fondness for the Sufi and I followed the Sufi path for most of my first year as a Muslim and many of my closest friends are Sufi.

But their attitude about Music and their building shrines to saints  strikes me as being serious error possibly even shirk.

One problem I have now is because my hearing is very poor and most of my hearing loss is in the upper frequencies I can not tell if there is instrument Music in a Nasheed,

All of my hearing is gone except for very low pitches. I can hear some of the Qur'an reciters very well especially Sheik Ghamdi. But typically I can not hear music instruments or the voices of most women and young Children.

To keep this from becoming a discussion about Music, I will try to find fatwah concerning music and post those in the Fatwa thread.
