Stringing a Spiritual Harmony
Exclusive interview with singer songwriter Dawud Wharnsby
May 22, 2008It’s not often you meet a musician whose faith so deeply impacts his musical aspirations or whose love of music acts as a spiritual window. Dawud Wharnsby makes this complex arrangement look almost too simple. His views on music and its place within Islam have allowed him to surpass the work of his peers and explore exciting opportunities. The Western Muslim editor Saadiq Mohiuddin discusses with Mr. Wharnsby about his life as a musician, the state of Muslim artists and how they have matured.
Truly one who finds a path for himself should not deny himself of his own abilities. Brother Dawud is right. If his path towards fulfilling his divine mission is through music then go do it. Lying to oneself won’t help in reaching a far better spiritual peace. Better be honest and make up the best we can. Keep singing brother. I’m listening to you.
i agree 100% with a.syaifuldin
people are like if it has instruments it’s haram and etc. but Allah knows your real intention and so playing instruments with meaningful lyrics is fine. i love all these new types of muslim groups who sings about issues that teenagers like myself actually think about.
-i have a question to ask for the future commenters, i’m not trying to bring up a whole debate or anything, but having a female islamic singing group..is this allowed? becausee if it is my friends and i would love to start one. we all have a message we want to get out there!
I am totally immersed myself in the excellent stuff.It is our great pleasure to share the wonderful blog with you. Best Regards!thislifes what are capers jhk How Are Capers Used in Cooking
