Of Naats,Nasheeds and Qawaalis November 22, 2006

This is what I’m writing after reading a good article by Mr.Dr.Massod Jafri,Islam has never condemned poetry until and unless it is written in the respect or out of love of the religion or Allah,therefore the ones who condemn “Naats” can seriously rethink about it.
Naats and Nasheeds are very much different(of what little I know) naats only have the sound of “daff”(one sided drum) which is played by one hand.Nasheeds have music instruments and thus are haraam.
Whereas poetry is allowed in Islam only when the poes donot diverge from the religion,and don’t get into lies,there are Naats I’ve heard where they continously cry,weep and do what not about going to the Holy Cities or sharing how they had visited the Holy Ka’bah in there dreams,as much as I know this is prohibited.It is permitted of course to appreciate Allah Ta’la and the Prophet.
Then there are Qawwalis…totally out of bounds,they talk about love,drinks and what not and suddenly turn to khuda and cry about something.One of the best I’ve heard is “deta hai muskhkilaein aur kehta hai imtehaan,maula” (u give us problems,and u name them as tests,lord!).So,that is what we can call Shirk or associating things with Islam.
This religion has always been reasoable to it’s followers,if it wasn’t for some kufr then we wouldn’t have thought about listenting to idle talk ………
Interesting. However where I come from, Naats are sung loudly by men and women alike and follow the tune of popular indian songs.
I think now adays the style of sunging natt is against islamic values because mostly naat singger used song theem.this impression should be avoide.
Are any of these necessary?
We have other better things to do.
now adays the naats sound like music and have drum beats and artifcal styles of music in it only a few naats now adays acully follow the right ways of praying naats after all naats are meant 2 be prayed and not sang!
Salam o Alekum
“Jehad will continue till day of judgement. A party of my ummah will always contniue fighting in the way of Allah (swt). neither the justice of a just nor does the cruelity of a tyrant will be able to stop it. sooner there will rise a people from the east, who will claim that there is no more jehad or rubbat.. they will be the fuel of the hellfire.” (Prophet mohammed pbuh)
WHAT ABOUT RECITING QURAN / SINGING A NAAT / OR SINGING A JEHADI NASHEED LIKE “GHURABA” AND “SANAKHUDU” IN THE BATTLEFIELD OF SHESHAN, IRAQ, OR KASHMIR,PALESTINE,KOSOVO, BOSNIA, AFGHANISTAN ?
!
if prophet mohammed pbuh clearly said that “a part of my ummah will contniue fighting in the way of Allah (swt)”
now is it much difficicult to find out which of the sect today is on the right path 
and which if the sect (prominently) fighting in the way of Allah (swt) 
? !! a great clue for believers.
“And Allah loves those who fight in His cause as if they were like one solid concrete structure” (Al-Quran)
