:salams. :)
I adore the beautiful nausheeds of our noble brother Sami Yusuf, but I am finding it quite difficult to get full length and downloadable versions of his wonderful songs. Can anyone be so kind enough as to help me out?
:jkk:
Sami Yusuf's official website: [www.samiyusuf.com (http://www.samiyusuf.com)].
A brief biography : [Sami Yusuf was born in the month July 1980. He was born into a musical family of Azeri origin and thus music played an integral part in his life. Samis initial training came from his father, who is an internationally renowned composer, poet, and a multitalented musician.
Sami learnt to play several instruments at a very young age and gradually began to show a keen interest in singing and composing. At the age of eighteen, he obtained a scholarship to study composition at the Royal Academy of Music in London, one of the world most prestigious music institutions.
Sami has been composing from a very young age and his beautiful voice is supplemented by his extensive knowledge of notes and harmonies. He has also a good understanding of music theory and the Middle Eastern modes (or Maqams).
Indeed, it is rare to find a person who has all these talents. Sami is also a devout practicing Muslim who sees songs as a means of promoting the message of Islam and encouraging the youth to be proud of their religion and identity.]
ahh Sami yusuf the blaster lookalike

Wow, hasn't this been a long time. Well, an internet friend of mine from the U.K. granted me the pleasure of Sami Yusuf's entire CD (through upload), and I must say, it's pretty good, masha'Allah, especially the 'Meditation' nasheed, which has no music at all, just silent, serene dhikr.

Instead of being stingy jewS!! *joke*
I suggest you buy the cd, support the brother and so he can produce more, i mean after all this is part of his livelihood.
I am actually glad, many of these sites dont have full versions of nasheeds, that way people will support and buy them if needed.
lol , many people have complained to me about the arrogant nature of the brother, Allahu Alim.
and for the record, nasheeds are okay to listen to, but they are no subsititue for dikhr, since doing dihkr, is an act of worship, but listening to nasheed is not, i find it best to listen to the qur'an!! so relaxing and energises the soul :)

ya i hate to say it aswell but sami yusuf and his nasheeds you shouldnt listen to.
the instruments he uses is clearly haraam and we shouldnt be listening to it.
mashallah he has a excellent voice...so why does he need all that music in the background.
his nasheeds would be just as good and soo much popular without all that music.

No according to the sound opinions of the scholars check www.islamqa.com (http://www.islamqa.com/) music is HARAM so listening to it would not be permissable at all.
we should do like a mass complaint to him about it, maybe that will make him sit up and take notice.

There are many ppl who did that (mass complaint) it aint gonna work! He thinks whatever he thinks is right....so let him do whatever he wants....if he has any fear of Allah(swt0 surely by Allah(swt) he will change.....and do things in the simplicty just like our Prophet (PBUH) and his Companions (RA). inshaAllah, and give Da'wah exactly as Allah(swt) has prescribed for all Muslims to do, not only thru nasheeds but thru ones understanding and knowledge!!
One advice i would personally give to every sami yusuf fans....STOP listening to his pop songs!! And Boycott any of his Albums, and avoid buying or promoting his stuff.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu, my dear muslims.
How are you keeping? I hope you are fine , insha allah. I want to discuss an impotant topic here which is seen in the wrong side by most people here. Do you know Samiyusuf, the muslim artist??? I watched his interview with Mazzika tv and I realized this one : He's a great man because of the work done by him for Islam. He doesn't do it for fame, wealth, or etc. You can see when a person is lying or instead. I just saw an honest, great, and faithful person in the interview. He explained everything include music. NO, I'M NOT A FANATIC FAN OF HIM OR ANYONE. But this young man has done something which should or ought to be practised by a true muslim, the one on the right path. Music is discussed by many scholars. There are opinions saying it's Haram , but wallahu alam for me . I saw many opinions saying it's Halal when it's used for Islam, to spread Islam. Honestly, I have a strong feeling that it's halal, you just think about Amr Khaled, he's a great man and he's a supporter of Samiyusuf. Insha Allah, he's on the right path, Insha Allah, he's guided. Music is a knowledge, not a type of excitement or etc. With music, you learn the person's feeling, the mood of the surrounding. And Sami himself has done very well in this area. Alhamdulillah, it's a fardu kifayah. And his recent work is I've Seen song with Outlandish group. Masha Allah. I'm optimistic. So, I don't say that Outlandish is a bad group because they're doing rap music. It's a way to spread Islam and it's a knowledge too. My hope is only one : May Allah guide us the true, right path. AMEEN AJMAEEN.

walaymusalam,
it dont matter about his good intentions...it doesnt make it permissible.
music is haram full stop. you cant justify it with ifs and buts.
he has a wonderful voice.....so why does he have to use music.
his nasheeds would be just as good without music.

Does it matter at all?...and anyway u were supporting himall along....why are you doing it again? You knwo very well, many muslims dont like his work...so lets keepit that way...i heard his interviww as well, big deal...i compared it with an interview with Shikh Anwar Al Awlaki...and the situation the sheikh is facing...he is being under house arrest....and he gave an interview of it...i got a video of it....so it really doesnt matter what sami had done...his good deeds and bad deeds are with Allah(swt) inshaAllah. You must not big him up...coz he aint al that....he aint a scholar....and we muslims give more pririty to our scholars than pop singers.

in my opinion i think that is best for you, i or im sure evryone here has no grudges or jelousy or envy for the brother. he has a beautiful voice but his continued to ignore what many have told him and he is going against islam.
yes he is doing it for a good cause but that cant justify something haraam.

I shall make du'a for you too sis. I am sure the choice you shall make is best for you in the long run insha'allah. Be careful they say Samuel Yusuf addiction is pretty hard and the withdrawal symptoms are not pleasant.
The period of 'cold turkey' in refraining from the popster in particular can be tough- my du'as are with you sis.

This is the way forward for all of you 'Music'/ 'Musical Nasheeds'/ 'Samuel Yusuf' addicts out there, you know deep down that stuff is bad for you, there is no time but the present to change and mend your ways.

Guys,
another thing that I want to mention here. Eventhough, we don't like anyone, please don't say bad things about them. we're just increasing our sins. I know he's done something wrong in his career but that doesn't mean we should talk bad things about him. he's still a muslims. remember, our prophet hadith, he doesn't like his ummah to talk bad about anyone.

Someone writes:
Al Hadith
Whats happening to those people?
They treat it so simple,
What had been said and done by the prophet,
Are they blowing their own trumpet?
By doing all these,
Dont they think about the risk?
Those not allowed things are reachable for them,
Dont they see what happen to whod done the same?
Theyre dumb, blind and deaf!
Their return to Al-Mutakabbir wont be safe!
If they say,
Were laying at where we should lay,
Why do they still do the sins?
Why are they so mean?
Im so sick, people!
Why do you leave the hadith aside?
Do you think youre truly guided,
Without taking a glance at it?
Without referring to it?
You say you love your prophet,
Why dont you put down your arrogant hat?
The answer is so simple,
Because I have a stubborn soul, you say in triple!
Thats all, people?
Im so sick! so sick of it
Please,
Return to the path of ease,
Return to the path of peace,
Dont ever go for the risk.

The reason of having hadith:
To test humans. Allah wants to know who is obedient to the prophet PBUH and who is not. The hadith that mentions music is haram is so clear to us, but many people are refusing to follow it! Astargfirullah! I hope they'll get the hidayah from Allah. I can only say that those who refuse are MUNAFIK! Look what had happened to Uhud war, they didn't listen to prophet Muhammad..and Allah made them to loose the war!

The Battle of Uhud was eaual...we were not defeated.....and as for being Munafik...(this is a very strong word to use) because not everyone can be called that........maybe you can say ''Their heart and soul are diseased''. This makes more sense, inshaAllah.....

personnaly i think that due to the current condition of islam and muslims in the world,and the ways used by other people to destroy the positive image of islam (for example actually the caricature of our prophet (PBUH) a3oudou bilah:( ,plus other videos played by the media about muslims) the important isn't the fact that nasheeds by brother sami are instrumental or not,more impotant is the goal(al nia) of it,the priority is to save the image of islam,being careful with it especially with people that even ignore its existance.:up: Anyway GREAT thanks to brother sami for his efforts,asalamou 3alaykoum ajma3in ;)

I aswell, along with most people I hope, try to abstain from listening to his nasheeds. His lyrcis are really nice but the use of music just ruins it as it is completely prohibited in Islam.
I would love to listen to him if he diddn't have any musical instruments.

31-01-06, 03:20 PM
I agree with bint,I mean MashaAllah,the brother's got an amazing voice, but I don't agree with the fact that he uses music..As bint said,its literally just a song,basically music with islamic lyrics..
I think his 1st album was really good,but now after his whole face-life of going into the arab charts etc,he's become too commercialised and i dunno,its just not the same.His first album seemed alot more genuine,this My Ummah one seems like he's just trying to "fit in" to the modern day criteria..

Assalamu 3alaykom brothers and sisters,
I am a new member to this forum, so I would like to first thank all of you for creating such a wonderful place for all muslims and others who are interested in Islam to discuss interesting topics.
Now, one thing that really got to me is how people are criticizing Sami Yusuf for using instruments in his songs. Can each one of those who criticize brother Sami tell me exactly what have they done for Islam? (And please something that is worth mentioning ... cause we're all praying, working, and doing Jihad for Islam in our daily lives). However, all of that is not risking our lives or anything. This brother is actually going against all the tide, and trying to awaken an Ummah that is completely motionless. We say that we are muslims and we say that this is haram and this is halal, but what is happening in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon Syria, all of that is not haram. The seggregation that has been brought to our fellow muslims (be it shi3ah or sunnah), isn't that haram? Killing each other, your brother muslim, that's not haram? Having dictators in our countries who are treasoning us and awaiting the blessing from our enemies against their fellow muslims is not haram? What we see on TV of low naked Arabic music is not haram.
So, why is it when one comes out to spread the word of Allah and his prophet (pbuh), we don't attempt to get the good part of it and overlook all of that, and take the negative side of it. Why do we do this? Aren't we supposed to be united, or is that something that our Ummah can never achieve. Or is it something that we are so eloquent at discussing and in reality we can never come to the real truth. Ya ummat Muhammad (pbuh), I am sure that this brother does not deserve all of that. I am sure not many of you will like what I am saying, but we do need to support our fellow brother, and if we're going to fight him all the way, the only thing that we will have is that lowly kind of music that we already have in abundance.
Before committing a crime towards a brother who has done nothing but be a good muslim, with good intentions and tries to spread our religion's good ethics, let's thing of the message behind all of this, and not run after silly things like instruments and all that. And if we are going to fight anyone, then let's fight those people who are more important figures in Islam, and are allowing the invasion and destruction of Islam, just as our ignorant leaders, our dead Ummah, Sheikh il Azhar, Tantawi, who allowed Americans and other nations to freely come in and spread christianity in Egypt, and also sat down like an idiot a couple of days ago while listening to the Egyptian head priest Shnooda say that Muslims need to open up to the western civilization and the western world, while he was shaking his head like a drunken man. Please, let's not be blind and fight the good, and leave the bad alone.
I do apologize if I conveyed my message in an inappropriate way my brothers and sisters, but I truly think that what I said is worth a thought.

I am a new member to this forum, so I would like to first thank all of you for creating such a wonderful place for all muslims and others who are interested in Islam to discuss interesting topics.
Now, one thing that really got to me is how people are criticizing Sami Yusuf for using instruments in his songs. Can each one of those who criticize brother Sami tell me exactly what have they done for Islam? (And please something that is worth mentioning ... cause we're all praying, working, and doing Jihad for Islam in our daily lives). However, all of that is not risking our lives or anything. This brother is actually going against all the tide, and trying to awaken an Ummah that is completely motionless. We say that we are muslims and we say that this is haram and this is halal, but what is happening in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon Syria, all of that is not haram. The seggregation that has been brought to our fellow muslims (be it shi3ah or sunnah), isn't that haram? Killing each other, your brother muslim, that's not haram? Having dictators in our countries who are treasoning us and awaiting the blessing from our enemies against their fellow muslims is not haram? What we see on TV of low naked Arabic music is not haram.
So, why is it when one comes out to spread the word of Allah and his prophet (pbuh), we don't attempt to get the good part of it and overlook all of that, and take the negative side of it. Why do we do this? Aren't we supposed to be united, or is that something that our Ummah can never achieve. Or is it something that we are so eloquent at discussing and in reality we can never come to the real truth. Ya ummat Muhammad (pbuh), I am sure that this brother does not deserve all of that. I am sure not many of you will like what I am saying, but we do need to support our fellow brother, and if we're going to fight him all the way, the only thing that we will have is that lowly kind of music that we already have in abundance.
Before committing a crime towards a brother who has done nothing but be a good muslim, with good intentions and tries to spread our religion's good ethics, let's thing of the message behind all of this, and not run after silly things like instruments and all that. And if we are going to fight anyone, then let's fight those people who are more important figures in Islam, and are allowing the invasion and destruction of Islam, just as our ignorant leaders, our dead Ummah, Sheikh il Azhar, Tantawi, who allowed Americans and other nations to freely come in and spread christianity in Egypt, and also sat down like an idiot a couple of days ago while listening to the Egyptian head priest Shnooda say that Muslims need to open up to the western civilization and the western world, while he was shaking his head like a drunken man. Please, let's not be blind and fight the good, and leave the bad alone.
I do apologize if I conveyed my message in an inappropriate way my brothers and sisters, but I truly think that what I said is worth a thought.

Welcome to this forum akhi, many brother and sisters in this forum criticise brother Sami's works, because of his use of ''instruments''. I ain't no scholar akhi, but what i have gathered is that music is a ''doubtul'' issue in Islam, even so in cases of the use of Daff, people tend to avoid it....you may ask why?
Well akhi.....when one haves the sincere fear of Allah in his or her soul, their understanding and perception of the Duniya is different. They avoid what is doubtful or as Imam Bukhari (RA) had said ''the gray area'' and how it should be avoided. We ain't just people sitting there while muslims are doing something wrong.
Many a time brothers/sisters have suggested to brother Sami to stop using instruments and concentrate just on pure voice....but in these cases he has turned a blind eye.
You know, there will come a time when muslims are just gonna be thinking of entertainment of the Duniya and forget listening and paying heed to the Qur'an. And we can see that now akhi, where millions of people are into brother Sami's and various other nasheed artists, whereas they could've aquired Jazaa from Allah(swt) while listening to the beautiful Qur'an.
And akhi, one other thing ''we stick with the majority'' not the ''minority'' when it comes to these4 doubtful matters. This truly does affect the heart, the soul and the akhlaq of a believer, when they get hooked up in nasheeds, and foget to fulfill their obligatory duties to Allah.
May Allah(swt) forgive you and me for any wrongdoings that we do, and may he SWT keep us steadfast in the deen, ameen.

Wa3alykom Issalam Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wabarakatuh,
Ya akhi, jazaka Allahu khairan for your detailed explanation. Your input is very well appreciated, and please pardon my questioning, since it is an instinct in human nature that one likes to question things. It surely does not mean that he/she is doubting anything in his/her religion, but maybe more inclined to be more open or misunderstanding about it. So, forgive me once again if I am wrong.
Now going back to brother Sami's anasheed, I completely agree with you that there are many Muslims that are deviating away from Islam but not because of this kind of music. Trust me brother, it is because of other muslims who are singing lowly jahiliyya kind of music. Ya akhi, the most noble man that existed on this earth, our prophet Muhammad (pbuh), taught us, that in cases of crisis, one can hide his/her religion (Islam), or even denounce it if it meant that it would mean that he/she would have to die because of it, because what counts is what is inside the own Muslim, since deep inside of him/her, he/she knows that he/she is a real muslim no matter what. So, don't you think that brother Sami, might not be listening to all of these demands of not using those "instruments", because he knows that all of you, masha'Allah, are already on the right path and Al Hamdulilah, need minimal guidance compared to millions of other of your brothers and sisters, who are still misguided. Consequently, by doing something that is just in between (even though I still consider it very innocent and devoted to God), he will ensure that he attracts those people in a way that is different than what they would think Islam is about (strict and rigid ... again ... that's what they would think since they are misguided), and little by little they would tend to shift towards Anasheed with no instruments. God knows best, but ya akhi maybe he's just trying to be a link towards the good part of life but he's trying to do it step by step. Trust me ya akhi, not many people can do a 180 degrees shift in their life, and some are actually frightened by that, so you have to approach them in a smart way, which is what the brother is doing. That's why I was saying that maybe we should double think that and not make a misinterpretation of that. Just like brother Amr Khaled and many others like him who are spreading the Da3wa, and looking so modern, this is also not the way our Muslim sheikhs should be, however, they are accomodating the time we're in, so as to attempt to attract those ones that have beliefs in them that just needs awakening.
I am surely disappointed that he did not reply and provide an explanation of why he is using instruments in his Anasheed, because he should and maybe that would be more understandable and would surely make him a better muslim and also would spread the message of why he is doing so. However, God knows best, but I truly think this is why he is doing all of that, and not for any other reason. I still think we should support the brother in a time that each Muslim needs a support, even the weak one in order to awaken him/her.
Jazaka Allahu Khairan for your reply and comments once again, and insha'Allah our Ummah's glory will rise again. ALL TOGETHER.

Jazak Allah Khayral Jazaa for your reply akhi.
Yes, I understand the need to enter into the modern civilisation and promote the Deen. And i agree with you 100% on this, because i believe the Internet is one of these means that we promote the deen, ma'sha allah.
From personal experience akhi, i used to listen to brother Sami's nasheeds myself, so i was a big fan of him too :). However, soon i started to think this is cool man, this brother is using instruments and talking about Allah and our beloved Prophet PBUH, then why not listen to ''black eyed peas'' (Astaghfirullah) who also sing about God but also talk about Justice and also about muslims being innocent. Even worse akhi, i started to listen to Indian (bollywood) music (May Allah(swt) forgive me for this inshaAllah) which talk about Allah. And Alhamdulillah, with the grace of Allah(swt) i have come back as a ''mu'min'' would do....stumble and come back again.
Akhi, the best we can do to awaken these muslims is by providing them with Haq first. I recall Dr Zakir Naik once saying ''Keep the foundation strong and the structure would also be strong''. So he gave examples of a child....at first his dad would tell him that 2+2 = 5. However when that child grows up he will learn that 2+2 is actually 4....and so akhi....who is to blame??? This clearly shows that our Ummah is in need of 'ilm of Haq and not of Baatil. Because many are taking onto grave worshipping which i have witnessed with my own eyes, many are starting to sell ''inside'' the masjid premises, what is this due to akhi? It is the message....and that message should be spread with Hikmah. We should not indulge into acts which Allah(swt) may not accept. For you nor i decide what is Halal and Haram, it Almighty Allah at the end of the day. We should have the Taqwa in our hearts when giving Naseeha to our misguided ones. We should never abandon them, for we will most definately be held accountable if we do so.
And at a time like this when Fitnah is vast and increasing we should try all means to stop it....not letting our brothers and sisters to do similar things. Why should we in the first place do what the Kuffar are doing, so example Rapping??
If our Prophet PBUH wanted us to keep ponytails like the Jews, then we could've done so....but no he forbade us to do this. We should not fall into the traps of Shaytaan akhi, always remain steadfast in the deen and preach that of which is Haq and forsake that of which is Munkar.
Please forgive or correct me inshaAllah.

Wassalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathu
Wa3alaykom Issalam Warahmatu Allahi Wabarakatuh,
Ya akhi, ma 3atha Allah that I shall correct you or anything. We are surely not in a disagreement, since we completely agree on the basics or let me say the "essentials" of Taqwah and Islam as well as the good deeds of a good Muslim. We only have different opinions based on different experiences I guess, or different schools of thought, but afterall we all come back and worship the same God and follow the path of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) insha Allah.
The only thing ya akhi is that you say that you started by listening to brother Sami Yusuf and was a big fan of him and that led you to "black eyed peas" and so on. You might laugh now by what I am going to say, but Sub7ana Allah, I used to listen to Nancy Ajram, Elissa, and the likes, and once I discovered brother Sami, I got addicted to him and hasn't listened much to others since. I really believe that if he was just like the others, I would have at least went back and alternated between his and their music, which I did not. So, once again, it goes back to one's own experience and the impact of such anasheed on a person. I am not ashamed of saying all of that at all, since I am not a perfect Muslim for sure, but Alhamdulilah, I have never done any wrong doings that would deviate me from HIS (SWT) path.
To make a long story short, I am in agreement with you about all of what you said, and we do need to awaken our Ummah in the best way possible, and portray an appropriate image to the whole world WITHOUT deviating from our ethics, religion, and 3akeedah. But, please let's not abandon a brother (just as you also said above not to abandon a Muslim brother) for simply using instruments, BUT rather keep trying to simply convey our messages in a respectable modern way so that he shall accept it. After all, he is a Muslim and we should stick together to become a ONE, UNITED, STRONG nation that Muhammad (pbuh) would love us to be at.

Salam, i think it's already been said, we should be careful how we talk about our Muslim brother, like all of us we have faults. We should give our brother 99 excuses and i haven't heard one yet.
Ends dont justify the means, but at least his hearts in the right place insha'Allah and someone must've told him percusion etc is permissable.
I don't agree with it personally and try to stay away, but for some it can be beneficial, others detrimental.
May Allah guide us all, aameen

Wa3alaykom Assalam Warahmatu Allahi Wabarakatuh,
Jazaki Allahu khayran ya ukhti. That's exactly my point. We should show some tolerance towards brother Sami and try to give him excuses, and if he is doing anything wrong, try to provide some advice not more, since we are not here to judge anyone. However, ignoring him or destructing his work will not do any good. On the contrary, it may have negative consequences on the brother, whom probably thinks that he's doing something good for Muslims and Islam.
Jazaki Allahu Khairan once again.

its sad that nowadays Muslims are so fast to condemn other Muslims. As an Ummah, we have bigger things to worry about... hmm like maybe why every country with a Muslim majority is either one or more of the following: oppressive, totalitarian, secular, a Western imperialist colony, famine-prone, or war-torn.
Sami Yusuf sings praises to Allah and the Prophet of Allah, Rasullallah (S.A.W.).. people say he is doing something un-Islamic because his music takes away from time people can spend in worship. But What are you doing on an internet forum where women and men talk to each other freely. We could be reading Quran or Praying Salat or going to the Masjid, talking behind Sami Yusuf's back, a man who is using his talents to expose non-Muslims to Islam. No person is perfect. If it were a unanimous ruling and the Quran explicitly said that Music is haram, then I would agree that we should "boycott" his music, but this is an issue that has been debated for centuries by various scholars in different historical contexts

The link you have provided is argueable akhi....i suggest you sit next to a Mufassir and do the Tafseer of Surah Luqman. You will come across a word called ''Lahwal hadidh'' let me know what the Mufassireen have to say about it.
And also the hadith that was at the end of the article can be unsderstandable....but what about this one:
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 69, Number 494v:
Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari:
that he heard the Prophet saying, "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."
How is rapping haram. The Kuffar drink Soda, does that make Soda haram?... Rapping is a play on words similar to poetry. Actually Rapping is poetry.

All I have to say is:
May Allah bless us all to the right path, and give us the power to assist and spread the word of Muhammmad (pbuh) as much as we can. Ameen ya rab.
By the way, I have noticed that there are many websites about Islam that are down, because people don't seem to know much about our religion, even if they seem to be interested.
Actually I found this site:
www.prophetsinislam.com
where the owner wants to sell it because he doesn't know much about prophets in islam as he says. Does anyone know why the scholars out there don't try to get those sites and educate others? Is this considered haram or should we be trying to spread the word in every way possible.
Actually maybe this should be a new topic to be discussed.

a thousand times ova...so hear it again ! lol!:D
music is haram in islam. sami uses a piano, and all these kufr instruments...
instead of polluting ur mind with his MUSIC, lisen to sme quran instead.
i saw his interview on islam channel, and there he was giving all this talk about fiqh and how music ties in with that. big NO:torture:
to say his work is anasheed is quite false. anasheed is most used at times of war, to raise the motivation of the mujahideen. unfortuantly, today, we've become a nation that need anasheed to raise the eman! (whereas this shud cme in the dhikr of Allah swt) and for sami'z work - it dnt do niether - but gets ur feet movin to da beat!
i have no problem with the brva - just what he does and sings.
inshallah brvaz and sistaz, make dua that Allah swt places us the rite path

u mentioned that there some "PERFECT PEOPLE". Id like to no who there are, seeing as Sami'z defantly NOT one. the only "perfect" person to walk this earth was Rasoolullah (saw). no matta how hard u try to perect urself in da deen, it wnt eva match those of the salaf.
ma salama

Ingilizce Bilmiyorum Ama Sami Yusuf Gercekten Cok Begenildi
Bende Dahil Boyle Ilahi We Kliplerle Eİd Song Ve Hasbİ Rabbİ Cok Hosuma Gidiyor Söyledİgİnİz Tarz Ilahi Dİnlenme Sayisini Bizde Daha Arttirdi Ben 17 Yasindayim Genelde Bu Yaslarda Pek Ilahi Dinlenmeyen Arkadaslar Sizin Ilahilerinizi Gercekten Cok Begeniyor
özellikle Gecen Sene Kutlu Dogumda Samiyusufun Gelmesini Bekliyorduk Ama Olmadi Sami Yusufun Turkiyeye Gelmesi Bizİm İcİn MuhteŞem Bir Jest Olur
Burda Herkes Seni Coook Sevİyor Bİzden Bİrİ Olarak Görüyor Sen Olmasanda Kutlu Dogum Haftasinda Senin Ilahilerİnİ Hep Bir Agizdan Söylüyoruz
Eger Birgün Gelİrde Bİzİ Mutlu Edersİn Allah Senden Razi Olsun.......

Well, bros (not forgetting sis), if you don't like the Nasheeds, just don't listen to them.
What's the point of bumping this old thread. it's only going to lead to another huge and pointless arguement.
Hello to all.
My brothers here has completely satisfied the issue but I just wanna comment.
each person living on the earth has his own will, and If you feel this is right for you then do it, other wise don't.
I simply listen to Sami's nasheeds and they really empower my Iman and make me feel the light side of islam.
We were always feeling that Islam is a set of rigid rules that make you lonesome and a stone-age man in today's modern life.
But this great nobel "Sami Yusuf" had brought us a new point of view of Islam that is more kind and lovely.
I always ask Allah to show me the right way and empower me to follow it.
