Lately our Qasidah scene has been rejuvenate thanks to one of our local Qasidah ensemble Madeehul Mustafa. After their wonderful performance at esplanade, the appreciation and awareness of Qasidah begin to spread among not only the adults but also influencing the youth. The last time we had such trend when Qafilah hit the scene with their few albums. The unique part of Madeehul Mustafa is that they are singing and playing Qasidah with a sacred medley from Shaam (Syria). Soothing voices and less intense drum to make it tranquility. They just released their long awaited first album entitled "Mawlay. InshaAllah, the CD will be available at more outlets soon!
Morocco is one of the few blessed country with millions of Sufi saints living and buried there. If you ask anyone be it Muslims or not, they will definitely affirm you anything to do with Morocco is beautiful in many ways. The sacred path, music, spiritual culture, food, architecture of the buildings, unique calligraphy and many more interesting cultures . Its goes on and on. The story of Imam Jazuli q.s. and Shaykh Ahmad Tijani q.s. never failed not only to amaze us but to inspire us to visit them one day. The history of the country itself is very indeed fascinating. The whole spiritual culture identity in Morocco is well unique within diversity. You can witness and hear tons of varied type of Qasidah with the influence of varied ethnic and culture.
One of my favorite Qasidah artisit is Yassir Chadly who was born in Morocco but migrated to USA. He was not only a munshid but also well verse with various traditional instrument like oud. On this video, you can see and hear Yassir Chadly rehearsing his Qasidah session with the Jazz musician which entice your hearts completely. I am aware there might be skepticism on this because of the Jazz but then again looking at the situation, most Moroccan Islamic Ahlus Sunnah Wa Jemaah scholars had no problem with such issues. So who are we to condemn or complain. Its true each Islamic scholars have different opinions on each issues but however bear in mind they don't criticize each others views. Respect is the key word here.
To me as long as the music didn't make you into committing sins or any unlawful act, as it brings you closer to Allah and Prophet s.a.w. its ok. We are not here to judge anyone rather to embrace humanity within the diversity. Enjoy the Qasidah with Jazz.
